I do not forget

 

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: YOU REAP WHAT YOU REJECT

You don’t get to stand for community while stepping over corpses.

You don’t get to preach love and progress while ignoring a book that donated 100% of its profits to LGBTQ suicide prevention, just because I wrote it.

You turned your back. And now I turn mine.

I’ve built an entire bookstore on blood, ink, and truth. I’ve risked my own life and reputation not to “sell horror,” but to speak for the ones you silence.

You’re flailing now. Desperate. Hollow smiles and shallow events won’t save you from the smoke cloud of your own hypocrisy. And I will not throw you a rope. I’ll light the match.

This isn’t bitterness. This is balance.

Because when I break, I burn. And when I protect, I eviscerate. My support is sacred ,earned, not owed. If you deny the cry for help from the voiceless, don’t come begging when the fire reaches your feet.

I do not forget.

Ash&Ink stands for those you tried to ignore. We speak when others stay silent. And when you pretend not to see us?

We let you vanish.
