Extremely grateful for community sharing and love, especially within the #QTBIPOC community. Bonded over a shared admiration and gratitude for #PauliMurray and #GloriaAnzaldúa today, was given a gift I will treasure forever, and felt so much genuine support and love. I’m ending this week with a heart full of #gratitude for my comrades, for both those who have come before and those presently with us in the struggle. I was blessed today. My cup feels full. 🌱🖤

Glad that #paulimurray is getting more attention (documentary, on a quarter), but still underappreciated. Too radical in 1938 for the NAACP, Murray "wrote the playbook" for the Civil Rights movement. "Openly queer and gender non-conforming," poet, lawyer, Murray's legacy is massive in several domains.

“Now you are strong
And we are but grapes aching with ripeness.
Crush us!
Squeeze from us all the brave life
Contained in these full skins.
But ours is a subtle strength
Potent with centuries of yearning,
Of being kegged and shut away
In dark forgotten places.

We shall endure
To steal your senses
In that lonely twilight
Of your winter’s grief.”

Happy birthday, Saint Pauli! Thank you for blazing a trail so many human beings could follow.

"Hope is a song in a weary throat.
Give me a song of hope
And a world where I can sing it.
Give me a song of faith
And a people to believe in it.
Give me a song of kindliness
And a country where I can live it.
Give me a song of hope and love
And a brown girl’s heart to hear it."
