First things first, let’s check in. Tragedy fatigue is real and valid, and we have to find ways to recuperate. BUT black lives matter all the time. For all my non bla(c)k folks out there, keep up the active ally energy.
The best advice on being an ally I’ve received is to operate under the assumption that you are racist, queerphobic, misogynistic, classist, casteist and all that nasty stuff. It's safe to assume we've all internalised these things because bias and prejudice reproduces itself in all forms of structures. No one has ever "arrived" at good allyship - there will always be more work to do, and we will spend the rest of our lives unlearning and relearning.
Outside of that, though, I’ve been turning my attention to cooking.
