To highlight Juneteenth, I was commissioned by the New Yorker to illustrate the cover!The words of historian Mitch Kachun can resonate with all of us that day: “celebrations of the end of slavery should have three goals: to celebrate, to educate, and to agitate.”

More private handwritten declarations of love to each other. Keep it off social media sometimes. Tell the person by looking in their eyes. They need to know, not your followers.

Black people do not need to be excellent to be worthy of love.

I teach a course on race in legal history. I always teach Asian American history in that course because you cannot teach serious history of US law as an instrument of racial injustice without the history of Asian Americans...

[Schessa Garbutt @the_schessa]

Looking forward to this! 🌻

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

Self-love is revolutionary. We cannot fight for others when we're fighting a war inside ourselves. Compassion is a power that we first bestow on ourselves & then give away through our actions—to people, to our planet. When we recognize this, that is when love becomes our legacy.

Just signed on to a zoom call and a yt woman asked me “where’s your wild hair today?!?!” Referring to my afro. Please, for the love of god, STOP COMMENTING ON BLACK FOLKS HAIR

I gotta say it. Multi-factor authentication is super inaccessible if you have disabilities that make it hard to switch between a bunch of applications and fill out forms, like Autism and ADHD, or if you're poor with inconsistent cell phone service or wi-fi access!

@stbridelibrary @agyeidesign Wish I could have gone! Was it recorded?

[Jason Garner @Thejasongarner]

Don’t try to clear your mind. Just notice your mind. One is an act of aggression. The other a gesture of intimacy.

[Aaron Chu @aaron_chu_]

Stop throwing words like allyship and inclusion around and confessing how much you "care" if you ain't ready to look into the mirror and have hard conversations with yourself.

[shahi killa @sennahmad]

swiss designers love white space because swiss design is, quite literally, a "white space"

[kemi @kemimarie]

your ancestors are proud of you
