Black Lives Matter

I’ve been taking an extended break on this project, and while I’ve been preparing to come back to my love of pens, right now isn’t an appropriate time to begin posting again. In order to allow black voices speaking out to be heard, I will continue waiting to post. I encourage my fellow non-black folks to take this time to educate yourself- listen to black community leaders, understand the immense history of pain and violence inflicted on black folks, teach your children about this moment and all the moments leading to it, and research charities you’d like to donate to. If you’re able, set up reoccurring donations to these charities.
Because when the smoke clears the real work to continue change happens. This is not an isolated incident it is hundreds of years of systematically enabling violence against people of color.

Black lives matter-always and unconditionally.
