In particular, I cannot recommend these three works highly enough:
- Seeking El Dorado: African Americans in California
- African American Women Confront the West, 1600-2000
- In Search of the Racial Frontier: African Americans in the American West 1528-1990

Minfillia’s family got rekt by a fucking Goobbue

Same argument as a 6th grade pizza party. Nobody gets a second slice until everyone’s had at least one.

It helps that the Pritzker family is known widely for their philanthropy in the arts and education, too. A bit of a Carnegie library sort of recognition.

He’s generally the One Good Billionaire. Not leftist or anything - he wouldn’t be a billionaire - but besides a property tax scandal he’s really not given me a single thing to complain about. Raised min wage, trans rights, reproductive rights, fuck ICE, etc

It’s a fairly dystopian feeling to lose your presentation and friends’ - as a trans person it’s a familiar feeling for no one to know what I want to look like. This dismissal reeks of this same thing - label it as “gooner” and belittle its largely queer userbase

Final Fantasy 14, an MMO, just lost 1 of its most-used mods to a C&D. It let you see other people’s aesthetic mods. It was used by 100Ks of players. Some are already saying it was a “gooner mod” and dismissing anyone who is upset to lose the ability to see each other as we are, regardless of context
