So a wonderful person told me to start talking about my headspace. While it’s something I struggle with completely internally, sharing my headspace with others is wildly out of my comfort zone. I think this year, I’m going to really try talking about it. Thank you 💚

#BreakingNews from @nytimes: In a landmark decision, #SCOTUS ruled this morning that the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, also includes sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes!

Normalise asking children for consent to touch them. Whether it is a hug, a kiss, an arm rub. Ask for consent. Teach them from a young age that they have autonomy over their personal space and they have a right to be upset if it is violated.

I personally think it's really cool how we all went from learning how to make banana bread to learning how to abolish the police in a matter of weeks

I’m getting scared that we’re forgetting Breonna Taylor- those cops haven’t even been arrested. Please remember black women. Please let’s keep fighting for her.

I’m very confused. Half my timeline is telling me if I don’t post a black square to my Instagram, I’m complicit. The other half says if I do, I’m performative. I really don’t want to fuel more distraction. Instead, I’m donating money, encouraging voting, and amplifying POC voices

[Schuyler Borges @PlanetSkyentist]

Those of us attending a protest &/or donating to 1 organization & forgetting about it 2 months later is the reason why things are going down. It's because we don't do enough EVERY DAY. There are LISTS & LISTS of things white people can do EVERY DAY. Do them

Cheers babe 🖤

I know my “family” and most South Asians would not be okay if their grocery/restaurants burned down. I’m happy to see that this Bangladeshi man is setting an example for the #Bangladeshi community on what is important right now. #BlackLivesMatter

“We can rebuild a building. But we cannot give this man back to his family.”

A family whose restaurant burned down in the Minneapolis protests wants one thing: Justice for George Floyd https://t.co/CNZ2FA2TTx

Tbh it has been hard to sleep. there’s so much happening and I can only give so much. it feels unbearable and everyone’s anxieties are at an all time high. Am I doing enough? Are my black friends ok?

it’s harder to focus at work & all I want to do is hug people & support
