Remember that you do not have to SHARE what you are doing in public. Some of these things should be done quietly.

I don't understand why more white folks don't see that this is the thing. You're not going to be free of racist thoughts. It's not a jab. You're just not supposed to be, because our society wants you that way.
But you can learn and move past them. Every time. Like, come on.

I do think it's important to point out sometimes that I had to go on a bumpy learning curve, too. I have always been empathic, I have always cared about other people, I have never WANTED to be racist! But white people get to be ignorant about so much shit in this country, for SO LONG.

Did record rainfall end Washington’s drought? Unfortunately, no. We got rain when we really needed snow, leaving snowpack at about 31% of normal. We'll need winter weather ahead to build up our "snow bank". Read more about what this means for our water supply in WA: ecology.wa.gov/blog/january...

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
