5 ways to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth (cause the fed govt doesn’t run your house)

1. Find out what Sojourner Truth REALLY said
2. Buy a Black horror, scifi or fantasy book
3. Listen to “Naima” by John Coltrane
4. Send the victims of the LA fires in Altadena a few coins
5. Get a library card

Distract the people with nonsense.

Steal all the money.

The only thing left for the people will be to actually eat the rich.

Forgot to post this; my new ‘sona Cherry! Full ref sheet coming soooooooonnnn 👀

A photo of the Museum's Apatosaurus skeleton. It is massive in size and dark in color. Also visible in the background are hanging light fixtures and other mounted dinosaurs.
