The news really doesn't help. And once again I'm finding I can't really escape it? I mean, I've also been talking about it, but.
ETA: Okay I just realized how shitty this comment might look. WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT. Which is why I have, in all the spaces and my personal life. It's more that that's all there is, you know? So like, normal conversations, I talk about it and then the conversation shifts to something else. Online it's story after story about how bad things are right now, on every platform, until my head hurts.
Totally understand. The over-saturation of pain is a mental health killer.
I talked to my 7 year old about George Floyd specifically this morning, instead of the usual 'some people hate other people because of the colour of their skin or what they believe, and it's important to stand up for people who need our help'.
Never too soon to talk about privilege and systemic racism. Sigh.
