hello everyone.
i am currently on hiatus, and i am continuing with my hiatus. however, i would like to use this platform to shine light on some recent events, as i have done so with my other social media platforms.
as you all should know there is continuous rage and protest towards current events involving the murder of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, by several officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is not the only instance where innocent black people have been murdered by cops. There are buildings being set on fire, innocent people being killed, protestors standing for what is right being severely injured, people looting shops and much more chaos going on, on top of a deadly pandemic.
i don’t really follow any other haikyuu writings blogs, so i’m not sure if they’ve already done this too. nonetheless, i believe in the importance of using your platform - big or small - to spread awareness of saddening events and what we can do as decent human beings to help.
i’ve created a list of petitions to sign, places to donate and resources to help you educte yourself on the matter. it’s alright if you don’t have the money to donate atm, but if you do, an amount as small as $5 really does help.

this is a short list, just a few i found through multiple twitter threads. but i do hope you all take the time to read through some - if not all - resources to help with this movement.
i really don’t give a fuck whatever fandom you belong to, who your fav is, whether you follow me or not, if this makes you uncomfortable (as it should), but please take your time to go through this list.
Let’s not let racism get away like this.
