chinese fishing companies are decimating the west african coral reefs, killing african marine life, and using indonesian slave labor but i’m wrong for noticing
nyt can you please have some decency about a decorated war veteran combat surgeon who saved tammy duckworth's life, who treated 9/11 first responders and was in gaza during the genocide. i get that he's muslim and antizionist but this is a shameful and racist subheader!
this why you gotta read bc james baldwin said, “to be a negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in rage almost all time”. and it’s reigned true for me bc to be aware of reality and how society can be structured against you…. man…
happy pride to everybody who saw the predominant ways of the world and knew, somewhere deep and undeniable inside of them, there was another way to be.
happy pride to everybody not just carrying queer legacies but also forging new paths, knowing the costs
thank you
@GenealogyJuden@WKrautism@Mayvee793 Art history is a wonderful field filled with incredible insights into the cultural forces that influence the artwork that was created in a certain time and place, but if you're not interested then you don't have to interact.
These studies on the left were done in 1613 and the painting on the right was done in 1594, it really just comes down to whether the artist gave a shit about depicting Black people as human beings
It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
Discrimination based on gender identity or expression is illegal in New York City.
Trans New Yorkers are protected by law. Our City will protect your rights, defend your humanity and stand beside you without hesitation. https://t.co/Ptoy3nAKz4
The pride flag was designed in 1978 by Gilbert Baker, at the behest of gay activist and city official Harvey Milk, who thought that the Gay Pride movement needed a logo.
The original-purpose flag was constructed by Baker with hand-dyed fabric and consisted of eight stripes.
