In the past 36 hours on this site you have seen two Black women express why they don't really feel safe here, a white person explaining to other white people why that is, and then that white person attacked by white people, mainly dudes, who either want everything to be beautiful or to just shut up and bake.
Banana bread!
In August!
I will never shut up.

A safe place doesn't mean a completely comfortable place.
It's not bed on Sunday Morning with coffee.
This is and should be a safe place for everyone to be themselves and speak without censure.
If a person complains about their day in these racist United States don't holler to hashtag politics.
It's life.
But if you complain about your day that other people would be delighted to have- don't get mad if no one replies.
