Boeing built planes with faulty systems that caused hundreds of deaths when two 737 Max-8s crashed. But hey, I just got served an ad for their gay pride shirts on Facebook so they're all good, right? I should totally *pay them to advertise their brand*...

(I have a personal gripe, too, from when one of their security guards told me I wasn't allowed to photograph the Boeing building in downtown Chicago. Try and stop me you power-tripping goon.)

I said that I don't know what to do at this point. I still have few good ideas. One good idea comes from my housemate who wrote about wearing his pink triangle necklace today.

For a long time, as a queer, agender person who easily passes for male and heterosexual, I've felt a low level of guilt about riding the coattails of that social privilege, but I haven't come up with any good ways to be casually visible as a queer person. I'm going to commission my good friend and wireworker Lisa to make a pink triangle necklace for me that I plan to wear regularly. Perhaps you'd consider taking steps to be be a small but visible presence against the forces of bigotry and hatred too? And commissioning such a symbol of visibility from an individual craftsperson supports the kind of economic relationships I'd like to see more of as well.
