I feel like I'm in a zombie movie, only so low budget they can't afford zombies.

[The Alamo @OfficialAlamo]

Visitors have asked daily about the basement at the Alamo thanks to the 1985 movie “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure.” We're grateful for Paul Reubens' unforgettable contribution to pop culture. There is no basement in the Alamo Church, but there is one under our gift shop! Rest in peace.

When we don’t go out of our way to be kind, what happens?

Ants put the colony before their own needs, so why won’t people wear masks or use a person’s correct pronouns?

@MichaelVeeSmith keeps returning to an anecdote of consequences:

I could eat watermelon and feta salad all year long. Maybe I do.

On this day in 1969, police raided the #Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in NYC.

The #LGBTQ rights movement began when the community, whose central figures were trans people of color, fought back against police for arresting them for living authentically. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
