#Target's stock value has dropped more than 12.6% in the 8 trading days since the "controversy" over it's #Pride products began on May 17th.

That amounts to about $9.3 billion in the company's market value.

#Target made the mistake of pulling some items to appease bigots who continue their boycott because *any Pride merch is too much.

AS

Many #LGBTQIA shoppers and aware-allies have also stopped shopping at Target because the chain caved to bigots.

Double Boycott = Lose/Lose for Target.

:deadbird: If you're still an active Twitter user, you're a collaborator in Elon Musk's racism and anti-Semitism.

I don't know how to put it more plainly or urgently than LEAVE TWITTER and stop collaborating.

There is no excuse not to, and there are no exceptions.

📷 Camellia after the frost.

Yesterday, most of the just-opening buds like this one had fallen to the ground. There are hundreds of unopened buds, but I don't expect any more flowers this season.

Hurry, Spring!

"Jolene" backed off, left Tennessee, and hadn't been heard from in 50 years, until #LilNasX covered the song about her on BBC.

TMZ found her in Tahoe, but she declined to appear on camera or answer any questions.

RIP Richard Roundtree.

Roundtree's name is synonymous with SHAFT, but he accomplished much before and after that historic movie.

Roundtree began modeling for EBONY while in college on a full football scholarship. After school, he went to NY where he studied acting and joined Negro Ensemble Company. There, he played boxer Jack Johnson in THE GREAT WHITE HOPE, Off-Broadway.

THE MUSEUM OF UNCUT FUNK met and talked to Roundtree and published this profile.

🎧 📺 THE WAR ON DISCO will air/stream Monday, October 30 at 9/8c on #PBS AMERICAN EXPERIENCE.

It's no secret that the backlash against Disco was racist and homophobic. People of Color and queer people came together to dance and have fun, in public, in a safe space, and the "Afraid Somebody Somewhere Might Be Having Fun" crowd hated us for it.

I saw this while browsing an antique shop the other day, and it made me laugh!

Share something that made you laugh, and let's pretend it's not almost Monday again.
