To be saying Free Palestine 🇵🇸, Free Congo 🇨🇩, Free Sudan 🇸🇩 etc and then say fuck Africans is one of the most nonsensical things I’ve seen in these social media streets

‘uMhlangano is a queer-led gathering born from our shared longing for connection, belonging & meaning beyond commercialised, exclusionary spaces.
We’re co-creating space for reflection, music & conversation, honouring agnostic spiritual expression.

Would like to raise money for this org that helps hundreds of cats per year. If you donate at least $10 and post a screenshot in my replies, I'll answer a style-related question for you. Their donation info is linked at the end of their thread (promise no nasty pics in there).
