Tuesday night I treated myself to a live Janelle Monáe show. Life has been overwhelming lately (moving is always stressful) and I was dead tired. But it was just what I needed. So much love and positivity and acceptance in that space. Thankfully I was able to sleep in a bit the following morning, the 4th of July. Many found it difficult to celebrate the holiday with the current state of affairs in this country, myself included. But I chose to treat it as a paid day off to spend with friends.
Five Good Things for this Thursday that feels like a Monday:
- Activist Therese Patricia Okoumou climbed the base of the Statute of Liberty on Independence Day in protest of the Trump administration’s zero tolerance immigration policy. Hell yeah. Dissent is patriotic. And other protestors showed up to support her yesterday.
- Seriously appreciated this as well: Indianapolis church puts holy family in ‘ICE detention’ in bold statement about immigration policy
- And from the brilliant Aparna Nancharla:
hey it’s july 4th this nation was founded by people leaving their home country to seek a better life so dont hate on the same life hack today
- These dancing women are risking jail time by violating Iran’s ridiculous modesty laws. Go them!
- My crush on Taika Waititi continues to bloom. Can’t wait to see his new Wellington Paranormal series, a spinoff of the delightful What We Do in the Shadows.
