Pick the Ones that Last

Opal Lee walked from Fort Worth to Washington, D.C., to deliver 1.6 million signatures in support of making Juneteenth a national holiday when she was 89 years old.

She began her walk in September 2016, gathering pledges and signatures along the 1,360-mile route, and arrived in Washington in January 2017. Her Juneteenth walk sparked renewed interest in making the day a federal holiday.

Getting very close to the end but I really enjoyed making this one. The pose was so strong and the lighting turned out so well, I just had a great time working on it. Even if the emotion is a bit more gut wrenching, it is a strong moment that I think speaks to Quinlan's struggles with the dark side and his own failings, his fight to be better for those he cares so much about. I will never stop loving him.

Okey

If you're a member of your local library, find their social media and say something nice about these programs and posts, please? Especially if you're in one of the less liberal leaning areas. It would mean a lot to us. And attend them too! Say something nice about a Pride display (or any themed display) if you're in the building!

Attend these events. If you can't, send an email, leave a comment. Thank them for how they welcome EVERYONE.

Be kind. Be supportive. Be present.

Obviously it doesn't cover 100% of intolerant people, but I think it explains a decent chunk tbh.
