Read To Me At Midnight | Why I'm Not Buying Midnight Sun @ReadToMeAtMidnight | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
Something didn't sit right with me about the announcement and following internet excitement over Midnight Sun's release, so I wanted to make a video discussing who we publicly support in this community and making sure we hold everyone to the same standard. Hope you've found something of interest in this video and whether you agree or disagree with me, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Also, just because Black Lives Matter posts have disappeared from your news feeds and timelines, doesn't mean we can go back to normal. Too often women are left behind in this narrative, demand justice for Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, Tamla Horsford and countless others. The fight is not over, links and resources listed here:
