but with how careful i've been being because of sarah being pregnant, i can't risk it. i would gladly lay down my life to help someone who is out there fighting the good fight, but i can't risk getting sick and getting sarah sick.
so that's what pisses me off. i feel like i can't help right now, in a truly tangible way. so i donated $150 (of the money i raised from my covers EP, which was originally going to covid relief, but this is more important) to the chicago bail fund.
also, i don't understand why it's so hard for people to wrap their heads around the basic concept of caring about other people and that "black lives matter" should be a fucking no-brainer, because THEY ARE PEOPLE.
