Header image is a yellow selection button that reads "I'm looking for potatoes to eat," nicked from someone here. Avatar is me, a middle-aged cis white woman dressed in all black, sitting in a sauropod footprint fossil at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh. I'm kicking up one leg straight out, and smiling hard with my white teeth showing and my dark eyes bugged out behind my dark-rimmed glasses.

Mother Nature seems to have mixed feelings about America's 250th birthday. The National Mall, home to US Capitol and the white house, was evacuated tonight ahead of looming thunderstorms. It is still uncertain if the massive fireworks show will happen. I am not too upset about this turn of events.

@coolandnormal Those are fascist thugs trying to intimidate people, especially people of color, and start violence. One photo worth a CW is the subway train full of only those white nationalists and a single Black woman, looking for support from the photographer. It might be US-exclusive fear, but it's greatly unsettled me, having been surrounded by a similar mob before. And I have my white skin to protect me. Her fear must be so much more fundamental. It's awful.

A lot of those photos are just dozens of Nazis out on a stroll, looking for trouble. I wouldn't CW that, but other people might feel differently. All this nonsense on our country's 250th. 😡
