Hey guys, it's Richi, pride month is coming up and I'm a young LGBTQ+ member. If you don't already know please look up Operation Pridefall. I made a post about it on my Tumblr and there are many other creators speaking out about it. 

Now, I don't know how big of a deal this could possibly be, but I'm taking precaution and making my account private until we really know how bad this situation is. I'll try to have some chapters out as soon as Operation Pridefall is proven to be nothing other than baseless threats with no real impact. If you are LGBTQ+ please research what could happen and spread what is going on. If you're an ally reach out to your friends and spread awareness. We need to ensure people know how to protect themselves. 

Everything going on right now is terrifying. I live in America and while I don't live in Minneapolis, everything that's going on is hitting myself and my friends and family hard. I no longer am able to put my trust in law enforcement and I don't think they would do anything to help protect us if they can't even protect the black people in their communities. 

If you are planning on going out to protests, please look up ways you can be safe and protect yourself. If you can't protest in person please sign petitions, donate money and resources, and don't forget their names. Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony Mcdade, and George Floyd, to name a few. 

All of you stay safe and stay protected. I love you all and hope we see better days soon enough.
