Years ago I started traveling for my birthday because I realized Aquarius season is the coldest time of the year
I didn’t feel like traveling this year but also looking out the window and thinking it’s not too late for a last-minute escape

Went to a talk last week and an audience member asked the panelists about barriers.
One said: sometimes the barrier to you is you.

Theoharis's myth-shattering book argues that Martin Luther King, Jr.'s pivotal work was not just in the South, but also in his often-overlooked campaigns in Boston, New York City, and Chicago.

Today would be Dr King’s 97th birthday. A reminder; the holiday should be a day of direct action, not charity. Dr King called out the structures of inequality. When a white woman asked why Black people didn’t just clean up their own neighborhood, he made clear, ”That was the job of sanitation.”
