This past weekend, I was at Boston Museum of Science where the bathrooms are cogender for all genders. About 16 fully enclosed stalls, eight along each wall. Red/green light above door indicates if stall is in use. A bank of sinks and mirrors down the middle. It is so fucking simple

Annual reminder to my fellow white people: Stay out of the celebrations! This is not our lane! Commemorate the day by gathering other white people who need it, and working on antiracism. That's our lane.

Happy Anniversary, y’all‼️ May we never forget the battle for the Soul of Montgomery 🙏🏽 #Blacksky

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... When people talk about defunding the police, this is a good example of what could be done, instead. Treating violent crime as a health issue changes how we handle it. Learning to do better would be a very #goodthing for this nation. #positivity #positivevibes

Europe’s ‘murder capital’ slashed violent crime with a radical program. Will it work in Victoria?

Fellow whites, Looking for some antiracism practice? Here's a great post from somebody desperately in need of a gathering...

Public Service Announcement 📢 More recalls and food related deaths due to dehydration and the fact they were medically vulnerable. Please stay up to date on recalls and if you do get sick PLEASE get medical attention ASAP and stay hydrated! Keep an eye on elderly & disabled.

We rightfully talk about Ruby Bridges being the first Black child to integrate an all-white school in the South at 6-years-old. But we don’t talk nearly enough about Lucille Bridges, her mom ✨

Y'all!! Heads up. If you didn't know, "LGB✂️TQ" means they're a TERF. It stands for "LGB withought the TQ" They want us ejected & shunned from the LGB community.

What are the scissors? Never seen that before.

Gotta go with Eddie and Chris. She looks just like Spike from Degrassi Jr High and Degrassi High. And I mean the actual original Degrassi, from the 80's, when Spike was a kid, not when she showed up on the new series...

There's a noticeable increase in the trans population here in Boston. I have friends in Seattle saying something similar. I know a lot of folks are fleeing persecution in other states.

This is on the white collective. As much as we like to point a finger at RFK Jr, the only reason he's in charge is because we allowed Trump to be reelected. Cuz we had so many feelings...
