Black & white photo of the Stonewall Inn in NYC back in the day with the following text overlaid: ANNIVERSARY OF THE STONEWALL REBELLION On June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a New York City bar that welcomed the most marginalized members of the fledgling queer "community": young, poor, and BIPOC LGBTQ+ people. Fed up with being on the receiving end of state violence, drag performers, trans and gender nonconforming people, homeless youth, and queer people of color fought back. The scuffle became a weeklong riot and marked a pivotal turning point in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States. New Jersey's own Marsha P. Johnson, who arrived at the bar after the riots had started, was instrumental in channeling the post-rebellion fervor for queer liberation among the city's poor, homeless, trans and gender nonconforming youth of color. One year later, the first Pride marches were held to honor the bravery of the veterans of the rebellion and continue the fight for equality they galvanized that night. From Garden State Equality

I just got a phone call from someone claiming to be a “public opinion survey”

They asked me only one question.

“Are you Hispanic or Latino”

If you get such a phone call, regardless of your race or ethnicity, please do not answer the question

From now on, I ask that everyone list their race as “decline to answer” whenever they are asked. The more who do this, the better

What's most fascinating to me about the discourse around the Trump interview is how many people think Scott's opening question was "hostile". It really reflects the reality of so many folks-- where literally just saying that someone has done something racist (especially in the workplace), even just repeating back their own racist words/ actions, (no matter *what* tone you use) gets you labeled "hostile" or "aggressive" or "angry". Saying the question was "hostile" speaks volumes.

Oh FFS

Racists are angry at King Arthur Flour for having a competition/ mentorship program for bakers.

As a baker I can attest that King Arthur makes excellent flour, and now I'm especially appreciative of the company. Highly recommend this brand.

Hey, if you’re a baker that uses King Arthur flour (I’ve heard it’s popular), this would be an amazing time to let them know that you support, appreciate and value their initiatives as well as their commitment to diversity.
