The World

Hi, I wanted to address the current world that we are living in and the slow updates on my current books. First, as of now, the school bored have no clue when/ if they are going to open school next year, which is the reasoning for the slow updates on books. I hope that everyone is staying safe and is healthy.  Second, It is June which means it pride month, so Happy Pride Month to all of you, I hope you have an amazing month. Thirdly, the current situation going on in the US and some other countries around the world. I have to speak on this as I keep seeing it, the hastage all lives matter, it pisses me off to see this. Billie Eillish has spoken on this and I agree with her 100% (see link down below) . All Lives Don't Matter Until Black Lives Do. My question to people saying this is how can all lives matter when we are still having to stand in the streets to have equality for a whole race? When we have to stand together as a one to show the leaders of our countries that these injustices need to be corrected, how does all lives matter, because I am confused with the motion All lives matter. 

I as a white female won't understand what it's like to live with racism, I know I will never have the feeling of being unsafe while walking down the street. I recognize that I am privilege because of my skin color.  I continue to learn and sign petitions as I am not able to join the protests. I stand with you. George Floyd and many more deserve justice for their death at the hands of police offers. 

I have provided links to petitions, and recommended movies and videos to help us educate ourselves.
