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

Get in, friends.

If it's the camp I'm thinking of, I wish I had the chance to go even once. I have too many clients and colleagues who go now lol

jesus christ… when i said “consider the risks of taking hormones the supposedly right way”, i didn’t think this would happen within 2 days

Screenshot of a tweet by Skyler Higley with the caption: 'when everyone in power is kissing the ring my man Kirkland said "f*** that."' Below it is a retweeted post from Pop Crave that reads: 'Costco defends its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies amid pressures to scale them back: "Our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary."'

Every article I come across makes my chest feel tight (not in a cardiac way I am fine)

I was on Twitter for about 6 months almost exclusively to participate in OFMD fandom lol
