Happy Juneteenth 2026

For Juneteenth this year, I'd like to share some information about a woman who few may have heard of. Her name is Dr. Opal Lee and she is considered the Grandmother of Juneteenth. She is still alive today as of June 19th 2026 at 99 years old!

Known as the “Grandmother of Juneteenth,” Dr. Opal Lee was present on June 17, 2021, when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act bill that established June 19 or “Juneteenth” a federal holiday. Ms. Lee said on that day, “Now we can celebrate freedom from the 19th of June to the 4th of July!” Opal Lee was born in Marshal, Texas, in 1926 and moved to Fort Worth, Texas, in 1937. At the age of 12, her family’s home was destroyed on June 19, 1939, but she nor her family allowed that to deter them from making an impact in the community.

*I have no confirmation if these blogs are queer in any way, shape, or form. If you own one of these blogs and would like it removed from this list, please let me know!

it’s all “kill all fascists” until someone asks for actual antiracist action. its all “punch nazis” until a Black woman says racists should not be made to feel comfortable in their racism

(and by saying this i’m not saying You were saying Punch Racists, i’m pointing out how insane it is that people talk so much game about being antiracist and are still deeply concerned with white people who “don’t know they’re being racist” or whatever)

Yeah 😅 I don't quite understand it myself.

This year has been the year of me realizing that things like

"racists shouldn't be comfortable being racist"

"saying the n word is not funny nor acceptable no matter what"

"hanging with white supremacists makes you complicit with their white supremacy", and

"no amount of being queer cancels out being racist"

are all apparently things that are just... Too hard to grasp?

And it's really wild because it exposes who thinks they're the ones being pointed out. Because I've never in my life felt the need to defend someone's right to be racist to someone else. Like... Who are y'all fighting for? Who is this imaginary other group that Needs To Be Protected, so badly, that racism just Has To Happen? That it just Can't Be Responded To? And why do y'all always think that We have to be the sacrifice for that?
