Live and let live man. This world has seen enough hate and violence to last a million lifetimes, and it’s not working. It’s time to try something else. Try love and acceptance, one day at a time, one person at a time. Start with yourself and once you master that, it’ll radiate out from you. It’ll be effortless.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act, legislation barring discrimination in the workplace on the basis of sex now also protects LGBTQ employees from being fired because of their sexual orientation. 🎉🌈

This morning at my daughters elementary zoom graduation. This was the screen share for the first few minutes. The principal made a speech, and after reading this first slide aloud, shared the second slide of things we can do to help. Our kids can handle more than we think, and I am excited for this next generation to do great things. 💜💜💜

Ibram X Kendi, author of How To Be An Anti-Racist, joins us today to give us the right language for discussing racial issues and policies. He talks about treating racism like an addiction and how it’s an every day struggle. It was an incredibly informative chat and we are so grateful he gave us his time and knowledge. Please enjoy @ibramxk 🍒🍒🍒

There are some awesome women sharing awesome stories on Instagram today. I cannot wait to see and learn, heres a list of the great takeovers happening today!

When the world listens to women, it listens to white women. For far too long, Black women’s voices have gone unheard, even though they’ve been using their voices loudly for centuries to enact change. Today, more than ever, it is NECESSARY that we create a unifying action to center Black women’s lives, stories, and calls to action. We need to listen to Black women.
This is why we created #ShareTheMicNow.
Tomorrow, Black women will speak from the Instagram accounts of white women.

The intention of this campaign is to magnify Black women and the important work that they’re doing in order to catalyze the change that will only come when we truly hear each other’s voices.

I signed. The only way to truly explore the depth of the human experience, is to prioritize the stories that are not being told.

I signed. The change we are experiencing and that is being demanded is exhilarating and profound and necessary. We are moving the ground beneath our feet to make more room and the truth is that THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM FOR EVERYONE. Let’s keep going. This is only the beginning.

Tia Stokes, a mom of 5, is fighting her recent diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia in the best way she knows how, with lots of dancing (seriously, her TikTok videos are amazing!) and keeping a positive attitude. Before her diagnosis, Tia founded Kalamity, a non-profit dance team in St. George, Utah, that has raised money and awareness for more than 50 different causes. In the midst of everything, she wants to spread hope and love and we love YOU for it! We’re wishing you a full and fast recovery and sending a Year of Hello Bello Bundles for your littlest one. 💛

😂😂😂It's ok to laugh. It's good for the soul.

Calling all mamas. Let's fight for all the babies, even the ones who are all grown up. Because we know. We know what that feeling is to hear them call for us.
Hit me with a ✊ in the comments if youre in. ✊✊✊✊

White privilege is not having to have this conversation with your white kids. I could not even imagine.💔💔💔

If you are feeling at any point, "ok already with the posts on this topic" I beg u to analyze and check ur priviledge. If not anything more than the priviledge you have to ignore this conversation, because it isnt your life every day like it is for some.
This is a time to raise our voices about injustice. We can post cute stories about life later. Right now this IS life. And we are obligated, as people w/a moral compass, to stand up for what is right.
I dont want the fact that I have been posting images of cops participating in the protests as anything other than this: I like seeing images of people that are part of the PROBLEM become part of the SOLUTION.
I do not fear for my life when I am out in the world. And Ill make a promise here and now to acknowledge where I see problems of injustice, and learn about the ones I dont see- and strive to fix them.
To not ignore this conversation, even when it gets uncomfortable, even when I misstep. I am here to learn. I am here to be a part of the solution.
In support of the astounding mind of @heathercmcghee i made a 50k contribution to @colorofchange. Im not looking for a pat on the back. I'm looking to be part of the solution. **for clarity, i posted a version of this post a dew days ago, and had used the black lives matter hashtag. After speaking with some BLM leaders i now understand that so many posts using that hashtag was crowing thier ability to organize and relay important information, and editing the hashtag out was not enough. So this is the repost. Xo

PODCAST out today🎙💡 @armchairexppod Took a minute for a free-wheeling & surprising convo w/ @daxshepard & @mlpadman Who knew Dax knew the real talk on racism & the financial crisis? But lots he didn’t know, and we get into it. Tell me what you think. Available wherever you get your podcasts - Link in bio⬆️

Lupe Morán, mom of 8 kids, lives a few blocks from the Latino business corridor in South Minneapolis where many minority owned businesses have experienced property damage this week. She also runs her own house cleaning business, which has been hit hard by Covid-19. Lupe is known in the community as a caretaker, looking after neighbors in need and helping friends at her church. She’s taken on so much, so we wanted to send a Year of Hello Bello Bundles to help care for her sweet infant, Lucy. Lupe, thank you for being such a hero to so many in your community! Sending all our 💛 to you.

Update: You might see some interviews tomorrow that I recorded days ago and tried to have removed. I don't have control of that but do have control of this platform- where I will be standing down, closing my mouth and opening my ears. 🖤

Dear friends, as many of you know, I have a children's book coming out tomorrow. And tomorrow was supposed to be the day that I would talk about this new book. And I was supposed to ask you to buy this new book and tell you all the great things that I feel about it. But tomorrow is no longer a day for that.

Instead tomorrow will be a day for a continued acknowledgment of the systemic racism plaguing our country and the need for justice. Tomorrow I will be supporting #blackouttuesday and I hope you will too.

Tomorrow I also hope that you might look at and support these children's books that have better messengers for this time.

I know it gets your adrenaline going to see fires and riot. Me too, but I URGE you to unfollow and stop tuning in to CNN, FOX, MSNBC, and whoever else is trading your sanity for clicks and advertising dollars. If you stop watching violence, they’ll stop airing violence. The overwhelming majority of protests are peaceful and cooperative, but you’d never know that if you turn on the news. And it’s not their fault, it’s ours. WE tune in, follow, and retweet. Stop doing all of that. I’m not saying to pretend it’s not happening, but also don’t pretend like that’s ALL that’s happening either. THIS is happening.

Peaceful protests with organized groups of non violent citizens are happening all over this country. Dont let the only narrative you see be violent looting. Dont put yourself at risk for more fear and hate. You owe it to yourself to see the full story.

I want to see more Posts more like this. This image is important. Black men protecting one white cop who was separated from his other officers.
These images exist- of people who do not want more violence, but want to protest because now is the time for change and the violence must stop.

Things you won't see in the mainstream media: A cop who got separated from his team, was heavily outnumbered by violent protestors, and in serious danger, being protected by a group of black men who formed a chain around him and prevented any violence from occurring.

The mainstream media won't show this because it doesn't fit their narrative. As soon as people realize they have been, and still are, fed a steady stream of brainwashing propaganda, we can all work together to fix the problems in this country. #IAMHUMANFIRST

Woke up to a present on my night stand this morning. She woke up early and said she felt creative. I might never be prouder of anything in my life than raising thoughtful daughters who think of things that will make others smile.💜💜💜

This.

You can’t ignore what’s going on. You just can’t. And I am deciding to use my platform for what I think is the right purpose. I am struggling to find the right words to say.. let alone eloquently... so let’s be real. What happened to #GeorgeFloyd is WRONG. I have been doing my research on the best thing I can do right now. Yes the petitions and texting ‘FLOYD’ to 55156 matter... but speaking up matters too. I stand with George and I hope you will join me in standing for this fight against injustice!! // #justiceforgeorgefloyd // via @cleowade

Welp, now I love the Karen's!

@hartben is one of my favorite people.
And we have a favor to ask of you...

Independent bookstores have given so much to so many of us. Right now they could really use some extra support. So we have a favor to ask you. Buy our book at an indie bookstore. Better yet, buy a lot of books at an indie bookstore. Because if we’re being honest, now feels like a pretty great time to pick up a reading habit. Go to indiebound.com to find your local bookstore. #indiebookstore

Never have I been more proud and honored to be a part of something. Three years ago my buddy @kevinmax333 and I walked into to a room with the creators of #BobsBurgers Loren Bouchard and Nora Smith and pitched a musical set in #CentralPark and now tomorrow you get to see the fruits of our labor on @appletv . This is a show to celebrate with your entire family. It is a respite from the darkness we all find ourselves in right now and a celebration of the light (that I promise) exists at the end of this tunnel. It is a love letter to New York City. It is a love letter to passion. It is a love letter to life. It is a musical celebration of all that makes us who we are and it will lift you up and make you soar. Tomorrow our journey begins. And I cannot begin to thank all of the incredible people who helped make it possible, from our animators to our writing team to our music partners. And of course, a very special thank you to the insane cast that has brought these characters to life: @kristenanniebell @daveeddiggs @leslieodomjr @stanleytucci @instatituss @mrroryomalley and #KathrynHahn - tomorrow see the show that critics are celebrating as one of the best of the year. Tomorrow come with us to #CentralPark @centralparkofficial 🌳🌳🌳

See recipe below for the MOST delicious burger @the.kitch_witch made today using @lightlifefoods plant based burger. She’s a true wizard. Happy national burger day friends! 🍔 —————————————————————— -Saute 1 small diced sweet onion in olive oil and salt/pepper. Once softened, add 1 large clove of minced garlic and 1/4 cup sherry wine. Cook until soaked in. -Add onions to food processor with 1/4 cup of your fav mayo and 2 heaping cups of fresh basil and puree. -Marinate some tomato slices in balsamic vinagar and fig glaze (or just leave them fresh if you prefer) -Grill your buns and then in same pan, grill your Lightlife Burgers. -Slather (yeah, “slather” it) the basil mayo onto one side of your bun and smashed avocado on the other.. -When your burgers are done, throw some fresh burata or mozzarella on top and put it under the broiler until melted. -Build your burger: Lettuce, marinated tomato, burger, VOILA!pangaia

@chrysler and @nokidhungry are working together to get kids the meals they need during this difficult time. Everyday, kids are missing school meals due to COVID-19 and to help @Chrysler has offered to donate $1 million to No Kid Hungry to make sure kids get the meals they need. Also, they will be making a donation from the sale of every Chrysler Pacifica up to $1.25 million through the end of June to further help meal efforts. Thank you @chrysler

White Women:
“We are mugs filled to the brim, and we keep getting bumped. If we are filled with coffee, coffee will spill out. If we are filled with tea, tea will spill out. Getting bumped is inevitable. If we want to change what spills out of us, we have to work to change what’s inside us.” - Untamed
She got bumped. Racism spilled out because she is filled with it. That is what happened.

Sarah is a mom of three kids, Gold Star Sister and military spouse. Her brother, Captain Andrew Patrick Ross, was killed in action in Afghanistan and Sarah lives her life in Andrew’s honor - she continues to tell stories about him and named her baby after him. She’s now stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina with her husband, Major Brian Geisen. On this Memorial Day weekend, we wanted to honor Andrew and say thank you to those who have served and their families. Sarah, a Year of Hello Bello Bundles is on its way to you. 💛
