I feel like people need reminding: We have acknowledged #Juneteenth here for generations, without acknowledgement from the federal gov’t or corporate sponsorship. We will continue to do so. Them folks can only gentrify our holiday if we let them. Some background: nmaahc.si.edu/explore/mome...

Well this book is a bit of a hit…bought it last week but already borrowed and read by 3 children. All saying it’s fab! Having read it I absolutely agree. “A Box Full of Murders” by @janicehallett.bsky.social is a brilliantly constructed mystery written in text and found document. Pacy, enormous fun

My sign from the #nokings march today in Seattle. We marched shoulder-to-shoulder in massive crowd extending 1.5 miles long. 70k people marched in this location, with 2000 other marches around the country. For the entire four hours, all I saw was kindness, support, passion, concern, and bravery.

Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.
