As just a word of advise to white ppl as well as nbpoc, going fwd pls do not use this as a means to twist this in a way that applies to non Black cultures. This is a progressive act for Black People; not an invitation for non Black ppl to project their “wokeness” thru Black-popularized hairstyles or things fashionably synonymous for that matter — esp things that are signature to Black culture (i.e. braids, twists, bantu knots, knotless box braids, locs, fros/naturally textured curls, etc.)
Do not do it. Respect this. Let us have our own things.
Today 3/17/23, Arizona has banned hair discrimination by executive order.

Hello! Disabled person here. Did you know those of us declared legally disabled and collect SSI and benefits are barred from getting married? Yep! I’m also queer so this isn’t hate at all, it’s a call to action: if you love marriage equality, come help us fight for ours.
You know I wish fatphobia was less pervasive. Even among people who consider themself as progressive, it’s rampant. So quick reminder. No it’s actually not easy to stop being fat, and it sucks that we are treated differently for something we really can’t control.

You’re being a dick! Stop.

If people don’t admit that alcohol is a drug so help me God I will pour an entire bottle of wine on their hair.
Wine? Drugs. Beer? Drugs. That awful cocktail you made in your dorm room out of leftover coffee and orange juice and tequila? D-d-d-drugs.
This may sound obvious to you but society at large puts alcohol in this removed category away from other drugs. If you tell most wine moms that they have a drug problem they’d be appalled that you’d ever say such a thing. It’s just time for humanity to admit that we like doing drugs. Most people’s drug of choice just happens to be alcohol.
Also caffeine is a drug but like, it’s so baked into our culture because so many people rely on it to get through the workday, which should really say something about our relationship with work but that’s not a conversation the powers that be are eager to have
