I have decided not to post part one of Kolak Unlimited. While I am not opposed to posting things that were scheduled during these heavy and trying times, I felt it wasn't appropriate to post a story where the main character is essentially a cop. Kolak Unlimited will post in a couple weeks when I get back from a short break. I will be back on June 17.

If you would like to support my writing or research, you can buy me a cup of coffee over on Ko-fi. If you would like to support the #BlackLivesMatter movement there are numerous charities that you can donate to:

• The Minnesota Freedom Fund
• The National Bail Fund Network (for a list of bail funds in your or another state)
• Black Visions Collective
• Black Trans Advocacy Coalition
• Campaign Zero (creating policy solutions to end police violence)
• Homeless Black Trans Woman Fund
• Black & Brown Founders (providing education/access to Black and Latinx entrepreneurs)
• Black Girls Code (encouraging young Black girls to enter STEM fields)
• Know Your Rights Camp (advancement of the well-being of Black and Brown communities through education and creation of new systems)
• American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
• NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund
• Trans Justice Funding Project
• National Black Disability Coalition

There are hundreds of other charities out there as well. Follow relevant people on social media who lift up Black voices and if you go out to support the protesters on the ground, stay safe.
