Today we honor the birthday of the man who said, “You think your pain and your heartache are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.” Born Aug. 2, 1954, James Baldwin wrote with an ethos of justice infused with humanitarian love, inspiring activists & writers around the world.

A shout out to everyone who attended Pride marches and protests in June! 🌈 I left the NYC protest even more certain in my knowing that queer joy is power and that there is great joy in resilience. #pride #pridemonth #joyfullyjust
