Can I just say out of all the people I follow on here I have so much respect for @catchlukeonfire .
I’ve never seen such an ally like her on my mutuals. And that’s not to disregard anything anyone else is doing.
Wattpad is a community I love. I love reading and writing, it’s a platform for people to share their thoughts, stories and fantasises. But when it comes to reality ... there’s a buffer.
Everyone can jump on here to talk about 5sos or whatever is going on in their lives, and I love that, I’ve done that, but when it comes to global humanitarian issues, I wonder if anyone even cares.
And if my words have triggered you already then take that energy and read her book on how to be anti-racist.
She’s recognised her privilege and the platform she has, and has used that to make a difference.
Wattpad is a platform that I have one of the smallest followings on but I still have tried raised awareness on here. It doesn’t matter what following you have. Everyone needs to do more, including me.
Even if one person reads this and they’re like: Hm maybe I should go and read this book. That’s a start.
@catchlukeonfire is showing her support towards BLM in any way she can. And I’m showing mine towards her by urging you to read the book.
Idc if you’re not from the UK btw, every death in the US and elsewhere caused by racial discrimination has affected me just as much from here in England.
Problems here should be acknowledged. This country is more than just tea and one direction.
BLM.
Thanks.
P.S. If you have an issue with what I just said, chances are you’re part of the problem : )
Have a lovely day xx
