hi. my name is Grindy. I'm a teen living in quarantine during the pandemic. I'm creating this diary to help me keep track of the days and stop them from rolling into one another. Also to show the next generation, document everything.
started 4/20/20...
sorry for inactivity! Nothing interesting was happening and I had low motivation. but THEN something CRAZY happened.
So, school finally has an official end date! after culminating tasks, we have summer on the 16th! I can't wait. I hate it here. i am prepared to sit inside all day and use my phone. better than school.
The boy who said he wanted to kiss me before now said he doesn't want to. I'm really ok with it. mean i wasn't too invested, just a lil surprised. I mean I knew he was pulling some kinda shit.
My long board is in stock tomorrow! so i should get it soon!! I'm psyched.
other happenings include: tiktok, pretending i don't have exams in a week, and wattpad.
WORLD
Trump has cut American funding to the WHO. I think he's playing with lives to stay relevant. It's insane. I officially will not trust Americans if he is re-elected. he is incompetent. How people think he's still the Lord and Savoir is stupid. Willfully ignorant. A dumb bitch.
but something huge. the elephant in the room. even with my tiny ass platform, I feel the need to say something.

lives

Do not let yourself be ignorant. If you are neutral during a crisis like this, you are on the side of the oppressor. There is no neutral. People are dying. your president is doing nothing.

to these protesters, the president said this, "These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! [the governor]should give a little, and put out the fire."
they have guns. They are violent. The cops stood and took it, and the president was compliant.

to these protesters, the president said this, "thugs. when the looting starts, the shooting starts."
they are peaceful. they are unarmed. The cops threw tear gas and shot rubber bullets, and refused to call ambulances. The president sent out a statement that essentially put human lives UNDER property. AND there's proof that cops started the fires, and threw shit first.
ACAB. cops uphold and work for a homophobic and racist system, and they uphold laws that are unjust, and are complaint with our SHITTY justice system. It is 2020!
we will not be silent.
I've posted on my story, and i will here too of injustices. There was a video of police brutality i watched. It was awful. People dying. Literally dying in the street. while being compliant. There was a woman sitting on the ground, clearly unarmed, and he shot her.
she didn't deserve to die.
NONE OF THEM DESERVED TO DIE
NO JUSTICE NO PEACE
PROSECUTE POLICE
WE WILL NOT BE SILENT.
i urge you, use your voice. I am using mine. Even if one person sees this, it will have been worth it. Do anything. Protests, poems, and online blog, even post stuff on your private Instagram story. The next generation will see this. This is history. Don't let your children see that you were complaint. Please. Minority lives matter.
thank you for listening. i still urge you to use your voice. We are gen z and we will change the world. and we will do it with our voices. make a change.
PS: film everything!! the news was arrested so the couldn't report. Tienanmen square much?? they are taking first amendment rights.
Fun Fact: I am Canadian. (racism still exists here, don't fool yourself.)
remember to vote and comment :)
remember, wash your hands, stay safe, and USE YOUR VOICE.
