I create #whimsicalart because it feeds joy and helps maintain our spirits. I am alarmed by the book bans, the writing of hate into law all of the anti-woman anti-gay and anti-trans bills and efforts (to name a few) currently happening in Republican areas of the US - and as we're able to help each other keep our spirits we keep this fight for #HumanRights sustainable. Yes, let's keep an eye on the extremists nefarious words and deeds but let's remember to support each other - whoever we are - and sustain our human spirits in the process. That's how we win.

Biden takes new steps to address racial inequality in gov't

President Joe Biden on Thursday ordered the federal government to do more to address racial inequality as the challenges and complexities of systemic racism are again drawing the public’s attention
The new order also directs federal agencies to have equity teams and name senior leaders who would be accountable for increasing equity and addressing bias.

Putting a message out for help: I'm looking for diversity/inclusion consultants based in Kjipuktuk/Halifax. Specifically for the Black, Mi'kmaq, disabled and LGBTQ2IA+ communities. Hoping to do better advocation for these groups in a video game project I'm helping to design.
