If you aren't bored (I am), you probably shouldn't even bother with this; elsewise, leggo!

This is not at all meant to be a lecture, nor a condemnation. I only ask your honest thoughts. I think, maybe, it might yield something? This is out of hope, not indignation or personal animus. Seriously, bro, I love you guys / gals, I just wanna learn.

Crazy shit has been happening these past few months. There's hella pandemics and people getting shot in the streets and. . . well I'm sure I don't know because I just (try and) play Eco City Minecraft all day. Wild.

I hope all has been okay with you and the people you care about, and everyone on ECC.

The past few weeks, I log on every other day and I chop way at some nether-stuffs, but it sucks not to talk to people. . . And I don't mean to be an asshole, I really don't.

It might not affect you. Maybe it does, maybe you know someone who can't hug their grandmother, or who just wants to go out in the streets and protest, or has a personal story related or unrelated to the current environment.

No matter what, you aren't alone. We got you.

I don't want to invoke the current political atmosphere to my advantage, it just happens that

0) We in America are going through some weird shit right now in regards to. . . uhh, everything
1) Yeah, I am black [who cares]
2) Yeah I love ECC [who cares]
3) Yeah I often get banned for bad words which really confuses me, especially now, since those bad words are actually in our common vocabulary and I hear them every day
4) I grew up in private schools with white folks, so I am trying to rectify that, and I understand, I really do
5) People truly love other people. If you think otherwise, you are sorely mistaken.
6) How can we appreciate and understand one another without thinking we're all trying to hurt one another, which, I promise you, we aren't
7) What signifies having more or less C18H10N2O4?
8) I really have no bad words in an environment that is, for better or worse, enraptured by what it's like to have more melanin than usual

I think we're all starved for communication, I know I am. Living in San Francisco, we're not even allowed to really leave our apartments yet. I'm sorry that I don't have $80 to unmute myself for a bad word that I said. I'm trying to get my shit together to even pay my rent, and ECC is such an awesome getaway, for an hour or two, but it sucks not to be able to say hi to you all. And for the reason to be 'racial slurs' -- it definitely fucks with you. Or, it fucks with me, I should say.

Anyway, I'm glad to at least be able to say hi on the forums, and please know I'm thinking of you all, as weird as that sounds, since I've only been on the server for a year or so. But I've had really happy connections with people, people who have helped me learn ECC, despite me being an idiot nearly most of the time; I appreciate it all, and you all, especially now.

I didn't mean for any of this to be a polemic discourse or assert any kind of view over another, quite the opposite. I imagine to get potatoes thrown at me, that's okay, maybe I need to learn from that but. . . I just wanted to say hi.

Please be well and always <3,

P.S. Ohmaigosh, I likely should have proofread this once or twice more before posting it, yah? :/[/] #ototheotothef
