I am lucky enough to be able to keep up with most of our nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, and grand-nephews via social media (that isn’t Facebook). Today, I was struck very much by a page Cassidy shared, a re-post from Celisia Stanton:
It’s an hour ’til midnight now, and I’m still thinking about this. No doubt 2020, half gone, has been horrible and challenging. And yes, July Fourth is different for this white woman this year.
A thing I still believe: In the worst of times, there are moments of joy, grace, redemption, learning, and growth. Growth is never without pain.
Anyway, I put together this MagPo poem. Hope you’re all safe and sane and remembering to see the wonders and feel the joys.

I love Daveed Diggs, and I thought this was powerful.
The comments on it are mind-numbing.
He’s familiar. I must know him from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, because I looked at him on IMDB and that’s all I’ve seen.
