I think so many of us are struggling, and I hope we can support each other. I get the people who are saying "we must do more", where "we" means very specific groups of people (like white Cantabridgians, or whomever). I also get that sometimes people gotta curl up and cry, or be quiet to stay sane. For instance, I find the people who say "if you haven't denounced racism on FB today you are perpetuating racism" a little too rigid. We can all fight the good fight in our own ways, support our friends, be allies... and not necessarily do so in very specific places and times (such as fannish places). It's great when people do! It's just also not required in every time and place.
Anyway - I totally get your desire to talk about this stuff here, and good on you for having done some of the hard work, too. I hope these difficult times and many fighters hard work help shine some light on this world <3.
