Look for ways that you are racist, rather than ways to prove you’re not. — Sara Milstein
When you say or read #BlackLivesMatter it does not mean all lives do not matter.

Until 2008 when marriage equality sort of happened in California, I was in a committed “domestic partnership” relationship. No box for that! After 2008, I could check off ‘Married’ on my state tax forms but had to check ‘Single’ on my federal tax forms. Fun stuff!
Next question:
