hihi
i rarely ever check announcements (completely my bad) but i recently noticed a plethora of gofundmes being spread. i changed calamity from a tragic romance novel to a political fantasy that DIRECTLY MIRROS the challenges of systemic injustice and the urgent need for activism in our society. (barely any systemic justice being portrayed in calamity is made up. the only thing that’s made up is the mordials/primordials. everything else is based on true events that either happened or is happening) its a project i started with passion and concern and most importantly, my impatient and frustration. imagine how hypocritical it would be for me to be passive or disengaged from the exact same issues that fuel my creative work. because to write about activism while neglecting to take tangible action is to contradict the ENTIRE point of my book. call it a cliche but we all truly have a role to play, we all can do something. whether it's contributing to important causes we believe in, sharing initiatives with networks, or just engaging in personal and meaningful conversations about extremely real and inhumane systemic issues
below (IN THE REPLIES because it’ll exceed the character length) is as MANY gofundme links that i can find. (for now) many are derived from @tmrscovenx and @crierayla please go check out their account as well. donate if you have the financial means. if you can’t, spread the word.
