Where is this week's movie track?
Hello! Before we get to our usual silliness, there is something important to address:
BLACK LIVES MATTER
I feel it is important to use my platform to encourage contributions in any form, therefore Existence Media - which is the parent company behind all of my projects including Pretty Much It, Pity Applause, & Nyctophobia - will be matching your donations up to $10,000. I'll be honest, I'm not positive what the best way to go about this is and it's difficult to keep track of which fundraisers to focus on, so I would love your input on both. I have been browsing blacklivesmatters.carrd.co but there are a lot of options and perhaps you know better than I do, so your thoughts would be greatly appreciated in the comments.
For now, if you email a screenshot of your donation receipt to eric@prettymuchit.com, I'll keep track of it so Existence Media can match it once we figure out where that money can provide the most value. I'm testing this through Patreon first and then once I've figured out the best way to keep track of donations I'll post it on Twitter, Instagram, etc to raise as much as possible.
If you are able to donate, thank you. If you are not able to donate money, remember you can also donate your time, services, skills, etc to anyone who needs it. We're donating money because that's how we think we can be most effective, but there are many other ways that you can support listed at the link above.
I would also like to make it clear that if you disagree that BLACK LIVES MATTER then you are wrong. That's it. I like to think this is not news to anyone reading this, but if it is then I hope you've taken time to listen this week and understand why you are wrong.
As far as our usual silliness goes, this week's new movie track will be released tomorrow, but in the meantime we've got an extra surprise for ya later tonight...

you’re awesome eric ❤️

hell yeah this is amazing ❤️
I forgot, there are organizations that are paying bail for protestors as well as a gofundme for George Floyd’s family, and one for the young black woman who filmed the police murdering him (she has been harassed on social media even though it was her bravery to record that sparked national outrage around police brutality). I am happy to provide any links or further information on all that!
We need allies like you to help us rebuild safer communities for everyone. So firstly, thank you. I highly recommend looking into Campaign Zero or Color of Change. Both of these organizations have been doing this work for years. Campaign Zero specifically focuses on research-based solutions as well as policy and community program proposals to combat racial inequity, police brutality, and more. It is an amazing resource for me, and also helps people understand what needs (and will continue) to be done beyond protest and on social media. As a young black woman I have often felt very helpless, but I know that there are veterans of this work who can equip us with the resources and education to contact local governments with specific asks, start organizing in our communities, and understanding voting and politics at a local level.
Thank you so much for this information💕
