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:

Juneteenth Digital Toolkit
A digital toolkit created with information about the origin of and how to observe Juneteenth, which is a time to celebrate, gather as a family, reflect on the past and look to the future.

This is your gentle reminder that Black people are only 14.4 percent of this country's population.

Black people cannot save you.

Made it to 43! It’s been an eventful rotation around the Earth and I’m blessed to have gone through it with family and friends along the way. 🎂

Happy Birthday to two of the best buddies in my life! Can’t believe it’s been 15 years since I saw them at a Petco adoption event and fell instantly 💕

With all the uncertainty around ICE raids, we need to ensure that we spread information, not fear.

If ICE comes to your workplace, stops you on the street or knocks on your door, you have rights! #KnowYourRights

I can absolutely see how the stress of racism killed our parents and grandparents generations. Why everybody was sick for years before they died. The stress of this has been 2 weeks and I feel like Im choking everyday. Im so happy I have my friends and my new gym and my God.

Hold fast your peace

Given The Horrors, it seems the right time to post this again.

Here's a gift link to an article that lays out how Title IV funds are protected (pell grants, loans, work study).

I get wanting to know stuff asap but please be careful of the sources of info you use. These people are bad at governing so confusion will continue.

Hey fam, lots of y'all know I foster a few pigeons every year. I've taken in a new foster, Peaches, who needs ongoing medical care. Being an out of work animation artist isn't ideal, but I couldn't just let him starve abandoned outside.

Anything helps <3
