Since people like to misunderstand what intersectionality is (it's not a checklist of identities, folks!), here's a link to the original article where Kimberle Crenshaw defines it:

@ this account and a hug will be sent their way.

Mastodon is home to more ❤ than other networks, it's time we join 🤝 and spread the ❤ one 🤗 at a time.

OMG @compassionate ❤️
Self care reminder: love yourself first, care what people think second.
