"I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue" - Kendrick Lamar

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

Hey fellow white people! Remember to do what you can this Black History Month - reparations first and foremost!

This Black History Month remember human trafficking was legal. Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. US Govt paying reparations to white enslavers but not to the enslaved was legal. Prison slavery still IS legal.

Do not let legality & power be a measure of morality & justice.

Happy BLACK History Month. I read Black books every month but I got two stacks for y'all.

First stack is books by Black authors I loved and the second are the ones I’m getting to.

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

Equal (2020) is a 4 episode series depicting the journeys of American #queer #civilrights activists pre-Stonewall. They overcame so much, built communities, found love. More than ever we must look to those who came before us for strength and wisdom. Informative, heartwrenching, inspiring, essential.

They’re pro-birth not pro-life.

Queer people have always been here. We have a long and rich history that we won't allow to be erased or misconstrued. We have so much to offer the world. I'm creating a thread of #queermedia as I consume it; please, share your thoughts and recommendations 🤍🩵🩷🤎🖤❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #lgbtq #trans #queer
