hell yes to this acceptance speech from Qween Jean, who just became the first openly trans person to ever win a Tony
"We are here for the legacy of queer people. Trans people, we have to take up space. We have to shift the paradigm...the world right now is deeply, deeply combating so many ailments, and we know as a society that when we come together we can make real, permanent change."
Qween won Best Costume Design for a Musical for Cats: The Jellicle Ball

YouTuber Ash Alk EXPOSED the sundown town of Vidor, Texas by getting locals to sign anti-Black petitions, investigating claims of segregation, and even confronting a man he identified as an alleged KKK leader 😳👀
