that’s our (wo)man! 🤩 last night was just like we dreamed it!

“Crazy Dion” Diamond at one of his sit-ins as a teenager in Arlington, VA. June 10, 1960

he did these sit-ins by himself. like idk about you, but i always thought of sit-ins as organized by groups, what kind of bravery does it take, man

he didn’t tell anyone about it, like he was no glory-seeker about this. his parents didn’t even know until reporters started calling them up like “hey, did you know your son is in jail?

when someone called the cops he’d skedaddle out the back door although he was sent to prison multiple times

the last time he got arrested was in Baton Rouge, and the cops were so sick of him that they told inmates they’d put in a good word for anyone who gave Diamond a hard time. (the inmates didn’t take the bait.)

he’s still alive!

“I once believed love would be black and white but it’s golden and I can still see it all in my head, back and forth from New York, sneaking in your bed. I once believed love would be burning red but it’s golden...”

The results of stay stay stay-ing at home 25 days in a row, lots of Taylor music, the post buzz happiness of zoom calls with friends, and cat videos... lots of them.

Happy selfie night from your fav Chinese/Laotian gal!
