Dear white friends: It's Black Friday when Black Mastodon celebrates its cultural heritage.

Follow the hashtag periodically today. I've already enjoyed music I haven't heard since I was a teenager; I've also seen some great artwork and bookmarked some reading material.

Expand your world with #BlackFriday every week. Boost Black and BIPOC voices as you do so.

And follow @BlackAzizAnansi who's made a great start increasing Mastodon's cultural diversity.

I was leaving a crowded store today, taking off my mask as two parents with a toddler prepared to enter.

"Time for our masks," said parent #1.

"We can pretend like we are going on an airplane" said parent #2.

"Yay" said the toddler.

And that's how it can be.

This was a #miniaturepainting I did of the #portoftacoma at #sunrise It was meant as a quick study for a larger #painting but I quite like how it turned out. Now if I can just get the larger version to look as good 😂
