On this forth of July, we discuss the topic of real people fiction and explore the only piece of RPF I've written, that being the illustrious Founding Fathers Fanfiction.  We also want to talk about the racial inequality and police brutality in the US that is going on today.

So take what comfort and courage that may give you.  And feel free to check out these resources: BLM Resources: Elijah McClain: change.org/ElijahMcClain Breonna Taylor: change.org/JusticeforBreonnaTaylor General Resources: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ https://blacklivesmatter.com Register to Vote: vote.gov
