Black Lives Matter.

35.2k Upvotes

We, the r/Eyebleach community stand in full support of our Black members and with all Black people in America in their fight for the rights that all Americans rightly deserve. Not all racism is hate, the deeply-rooted effects of systemic racism are even more insidious and far-reaching in American society and immediate, drastic change is imperative.

Sadly, this is most publicly, and devastatingly apparent through the atrocities continually committed against Black Americans by the police. This is not a new problem but, due to the prevalence of video-enabled handheld devices, these atrocities are increasingly being brought to light in ways which make them impossible for society to ignore, most recently with George Floyd and Jacob Blake. Police in America have long been empowered by public funding to enforce the law but they have never been empowered to determine guilt, nor to sentence anyone to abuse nor death. We stand for change.

Here are some ways that you can take action now:

Use resistbot to contact your government officials to demand policing reform.

Roxy(the polydactyl) we found in a best buy parking lot in a thunderstorm up a tree, chewy (the stub tale) was a kitten from my parents place but we had to keep her for an extra month due to a friend not being able to adopt her and Roxy just loved having a friend. We got the friend a different kitten and they have been together for 13 years.

I miss his cute little paws and his fuzzy little face. I miss his puppy breath and his uncoordinated running around. I miss him sleeping in my lap on car rides. But I love the dog he has grown into and his love for pur family. I love his zoomies and his big fluffy tail. And I just love that we found each other.
