Black people started Memorial Day.
It was originally called Decoration Day and it included a parade, but the most remarkable detail to me is that the newly freed dug up bodies of Union soldiers from mass graves, identified them and gave proper burials.

@HHBagels in the @Delta terminal at @LGAairport is the worst and I feel bad for non-NYer who comes here. I asked for a bagel scooped out she said "No, I can't. If I do it for you I have to do it for everybody." Who's everybody!? There's no one here 🙄
Convos w my 12 yr old:
Me: What did you learn today?
B: I learned that Moses went into the desert. And there was a burning bush. God was talking to him. But it wasn't a real fire. Then Percy Jackson...
Me: What?
B: Wait, that's not right. I'm getting my 2 books confused.
Saw my 4 yr old niece sitting by herself. I go over and ask if I can join her. She says, " Of course!"
"How's school going?" I ask. "It's good. I love my family soooo much!"
Then she continues,
"How is everything at home, Auntie? Are YOU okay?"
She is 4 😩
@AmericanAir why must you pack in people on your flights!? i've taken extreme precautions for the past 11 months, take tests weekly w negative results, and if I (knock on wood) test positive for covid, this will be why. smh.
