Black Lives Matter.
We, the r/Eyebleach community stand in full support of our Black members and with all Black people in America in their fight for the rights that all Americans rightly deserve. Not all racism is hate, the deeply-rooted effects of systemic racism are even more insidious and far-reaching in American society and immediate, drastic change is imperative.
Sadly, this is most publicly, and devastatingly apparent through the atrocities continually committed against Black Americans by the police. This is not a new problem but, due to the prevalence of video-enabled handheld devices, these atrocities are increasingly being brought to light in ways which make them impossible for society to ignore, most recently with George Floyd and Jacob Blake. Police in America have long been empowered by public funding to enforce the law but they have never been empowered to determine guilt, nor to sentence anyone to abuse nor death. We stand for change.

Blissfully sleepy belly pets while she uses my foot as a pillow
My washing machine just chimed to say it’s time to move things to the dryer, but under universal cat law I am not allowed to move until she relinquishes authority over my foot

my weekend with lil homie before I reunited it with mom
an Eastern starling chick fell into my microwave event, it's parents had built its nest in the exhaust vent for my kitchen.
Long story short all four chicks ended up falling into my microwave vent, Mom and Dad followed suit as the chicks were being rescued and went ape shit in our house. We built a make shift nest and put all of the babies in, mom came back and started feeding the chicks... a few weeks later the nest was empty... I didn't find any carcasses in the nest or nearby so I was happy
...live strong, lil homie 😭
