There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.”
Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

☮️ steps of resistance I’ve taken the last few days:
*got a Costco membership 💰
*kept my she/they pronouns on work email signatures 🏳️🌈
*drank more water and not given in to the intended overwhelm 💧
*began using mindfulness app 🧘🏻♀️
❤️ I’d love to hear what you all are doing, no matter how “small.”

Stop letting unfunny men tell you there’s something wrong with you for not getting their “jokes”. Stop fake laughing. Let their reality reflect the truth of how fundamentally they misunderstand humor. Neuter their ability to use “it was a joke” for emotional cover. Make them see nobody laugh.
