Hello! Welcome to COTL, a discussion place for BIPOC. Posted the first 3 Wednesdays of the month
Thread Rules
- We ask that only those who identify as people of color participate in this discussion. White Avocados, while valued members of this community, should remain in ‘lurk’ mode.
- Shaming and hateful speech are unacceptable.
- Please keep potentially traumatic content safely behind spoiler tags.
- Nobody on this thread is more or less a person of color than anyone else. (We will not set clearly delineated boundaries on who qualifies as a ‘person of color.’ As a starting point, this thread uses the definition of ‘non-European heritage of sufficient prominence to affect one’s navigation of a society built on white normativity.’ However, we recognize that there are identities which skirt either side of the divide. If people feel that they meaningfully experience the identity of being a person of color, then they are welcome to participate.)
Hello everyone 👋🏽. Hope y’all are doing well.
Eid al-Fitr just passed and whilst I’m sure no one here celebrates? I thought it’d be nice to wish Eid muburak to anyone who does. 🙏🏽
Can’t tell if that’s the famous Blue Mosque, but here’s some pictures of it that I took last month:
Also worth noting that the ‘Avocado Live Seder’ signup thread just went up & it’s really nice & enjoyable to celebrate Passover with avocados, even if you’re not Jewish. It’s an inclusive space.
Severance is kind of blowing up at the moment & this video feels apt. Especially in relation to topics HP has discussed in detail before 🙏🏽 (spoilers):
Prompt: how have you’re work experiences been?
Feel free to talk about whatever else you’d like! 🙏🏽
