“Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly, and focused on happier things than “politics.” They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren’t nice people? Resisters.”

— Naomi Shulman. Now is not the time to be ‘nice’ to white supremacists and neo-Nazis. Now is not the time to politely listen to ‘both sides’ in some misguided notion of ‘tolerance.’ Now is not the time for silence. NOW is the time for good people to resist. Loudly and unambiguously.

a gripping tale of the friendship between bonnie bennett and caroline forbes

In the twenty years before Albert Einstein died, he very rarely accepted invitations to speak at universities. In 1946, however, he accepted an invitation to Lincoln University in Pennsylvania which was the first school in America to grant college degrees to African American students. 

During his speech, he spoke about his disgust at racism in America. He said that racism is “a disease of white people” adding that he does “not intent to be quiet about it.” And quiet he was not; throughout his life, he open spoke about racial injustice as well as antisemitism.

So apparently last year the National Park Service in the US dropped an over 1200 page study of LGBTQ American History as part of their Who We Are program which includes studies on African-American history, Latino history, and Indigenous history. 

Like. This is awesome. But also it feels very surreal that maybe one of the most comprehensive examinations of LGBTQ history in America (it covers sports! art! race! historical sites! health! cities!) was just casually done by the parks service.

We used it in my LGBT history class and it’s SO WONDERFUL I LOVE it PLEASE READ at least some chapters. It has photos and sources and goes into detail in footnotes when it doesn’t have time for a tangent.

Favorite Movies [1/20] ★ When Harry Met Sally (1989)

The first time we met, we hated each other. No, you didn’t hate me. I hated you. The second time we met, you didn’t even remember me. I did, too! I remembered you. Third time we met, we became friends. We were friends for a long time. And then we weren’t. And then we fell in love. Three months later, we got married. Yeah, it only took three months. Twelve years and three months.
