#BlackJoy has so much to celebrate this month! First up is PRIDE. This Resolution was passed in honor of Jaci Adams. Adams was a remarkable transwoman whose life embodied resilience.

Cait the Proud Trans WomanI am having a painful day.
Would you kind folks, in the next 24 hours or so, tag me on a post you make about the last moment (or much longer?) you had or saw some #TransJoy ? Or #NBJoy ? Or #AgenderJoy ? Now you see why I'm asking? Too many possible sources. #BlackJoy or #DisabledJoy or #DeafJoy or so many others.
If you've a marginalised identity and found joy recently, tell me what it was. Don't be afraid to say it was about discomfiting your oppressor. Speak your joy. Doesn't matter if I share an identity with your oppressor, I don't do defensive. If I've done what you say, I'll apologise and/or accept responsibility for my failures and misdeeds and privilege. If I haven't, then I will share your victory joy, bc any oppressor is too many.
I just want to hear what's bringing you joy in an identity important to you?
Thread RULE: if it isn't about you, don't make it about you. You need to defend yourself for some reason? This is neither time nor place. Joy only. You wanna hurt someone? Not here. This is a braver space than that.
What's your joy, if you want to share?

Stevie Wonder’s 1972 funk anthem "Superstition." He leveraged his sonic superstardom to speak truth to power-
It came at the height of the Black Power movement, focusing on Black consciousness, self-reliance, and rejecting oppressive societal narratives. #BlackJoy
