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 everyone had a good Juneteenth for those who celebrate 🙏🏽. Sorry I don’t have much to say. Wish I was a bit more on top of celebrating Pride too, now that I think about it. Haven’t really been feeling the Pride bug (a lot going on), but I’ve been coming out & talking to people close to me & new people too, so I guess there’s that 🤷🏾♀️.
Prompt: do you celebrate pride? How about protests or marches?
Feel free to talk about anything else 🙏🏽.
