Help, I was reading a story called Bathtime, and the author is Catherine Morgenstern. The story took me to Wattpad and I even took a pix of the page by cant find it.

Thank you.

This is so incredibly important. Religious Jews who keep Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath) can’t use electronics (among other things) from sundown on Friday until nightfall on Saturday. As someone who used to keep Shabbat, it was so hard to participate in so many things. Simple things like electronic hotel door locks — or, in this case, RFID wristbands, can mean an event isn’t accessible to those who keep Shabbat. So, even though I’m not at VidCon myself (I’ve never been and I’m on the opposite side of the country!) and I don’t keep Shabbat anymore, I’m incredibly grateful and moved that they did this. This isn’t just a kind staffer waiving a rule for an individual, this is a convention-wide policy and system that allows observant Jews full participation in the con. This is what inclusion looks like. This is what welcoming diversity looks like. This is what making sure your space welcomes Jewish people looks like. Thank you thank you thank you.

(Non-Jews can definitely reblog this!)

C: I hope the same black men and women calling Serena Williams a traitor do the same thing to black men who date white/non-black women, because these double standards make no sense. I thought Serena was “too manly”(😒) for y'all but suddenly she gets with a white man and now it’s “but the white man is bad!” She was tired of waiting around for black men to like her, if anything I’m proud!
