News you may have missed! (6/5/20)

We'll keep this brief.

Good morning, everyone. This week has been incredibly different than week’s past. We were pretty relaxed on our posting schedule than we normally are—as most publications were—and this was intentional. We didn’t want to flood social media with news articles about new albums, what a blink-182 member ate for breakfast, quizzes to take to prove your knowledge of a particular group, or the normal stuff publications like us write about on a daily basis. The only things we did post had to do with the movement. We wanted the voices of the oppressed to be given the platforms we use every day to use their voice. We wanted to give them more space so their voices could be heard loud and clear. And we were more than happy and honored to do that along with other publications and brands.

So with that said, the “normal” news we post about was basically non-existent this week. This week was all about change—as every day really should be. However, we still put a video together capturing some of the happenings around the scene for you.
