Let's add some intersectionality to today's #BlackHistoryMonth post.
The #LGBTQ+ community owes a great deal to Black and Latino #DragQueens and #Trans folks. They led the way. Let's not leave them behind.

In case it's not evident, there's a link to a brief history of Dreadlocks in the post above.
I'm reposting it here because, for some reason, the preview isn't showing up.

Where Did Dreadlocks Originate? The True History of Dreadlocks https://www.curlcentric.com/where-did-dreadlocks-originate/
No matter who you are or where you come from, most likely your hair--or lack thereof--is your identity. Black, brown, blonde, curly, straight, long, short; we spend a lot of time & money on it. But how many of us know anything about Dreadlocks?
As a bald white guy, the only thing I knew about dreads is that I think they're cute. What I learned is that dreads have been around for thousands of years

If you look at #DragQueens and think sex, the problem is you.
If you see #trans and automatically think genitalia, the problem is you.
If #SameSexMarriage makes you think of butt stuff, the problem is still you.
If you say you believe in parental rights but want to stop parents from giving gender affirming care to their #transgender child, you are a hypocrite and need to mind your own fucking business.

The best way to prevent nuclear war is to resist nuclear blackmail. If nuclear blackmail is successful, then every small power with nuclear weapons is encouraged to try it to get their agenda realized; and that increases the likelihood of nuclear war, localized or general, rather than decreasing it.
It's January. Hyacinths don't normally make an appearance until late March. I don't know if they'll survive a cold snap. 🙁

When did common decency become demonized as "politically correct"?
Also, Can we play hashtag games here? 🤔
