   One of my favorite #abolitionists is being spoken about on BlueSky so sharing it here: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/quaker-comet-greatest-abolitionist-never-heard-180964401/

   A story of his that I love to talk and think about is how often this man, no taller than 4 feet, would cause mayhem in advocacy people that he had more operating privilege over.

   Anytime someone would say something in support of slavery, he'd yell and call them a "negro-master". MAKE BIGOTS EMBARRASSED (and call them directly by their bigotry)!

     This feels like a good time to plug https://briefs.video/videos/what-is-react/ in case you don't know what React is

     I think about this one particular person in the React community that threw up a white supremacist-adjacent symbol at a conference; a person of color called him out for it (not a Black person, mind you) and they made her life HELL.

     Y'all could start with the bare minimum. But hey, gotta keep that DOM rendered!
