For #BlackHistoryMonth, let's remember Bayard Rustin.

The civil rights leader, when he is remembered at all these days, is remembered for brilliantly organizing the 1963 March on Washington.

Not everyone appreciated his pioneering approach to intersectionality - and as a gay man, he was sometimes seen as a liability.

His biographer makes a case for Rustin as the signature radical voice during the 20th century

That's why we need to go back to the 50s, when men were men. They wouldn't have been caught dead dressing up like a woman.

I work remote, so I spend most of my workdays in pajamas because most of our zoom meetings are just audio, but every so often I will put on a nice outfit and do my hair and makeup even if it’s not a video meeting just because I want to be the only person to turn on their camera looking totes business profesh so it will then make all of my coworkers panic and scramble to make themselves look presentable before turning on their own cameras.

Happy Birthday, Penny!
