As an older fictive who has been entrenched in kin and system communities, there is one takeaway above all else that I wish for the younger crowds to understand. Wanting friends who understand your experiences, or even who share a source, is a valid reason to reach out and connect with others, but you must be wary of those who may be close for this reason alone. You deserve to be known for who you are as well as were, and if you find someone demanding that you only conform to an image of you they've built in their head- RUN. Similarly, expect people you meet to be more than the image you may have made in your head. We are people, the entire point of a new life is to be someone new. Allow yourself and others to grow into that.

King Arthur Flour is getting boycotted—after conservatives discover it has a baking program for people of color

King Arthur Baking Company is coming under fire for holding a competition exclusively for people of color-owned businesses and brands.

According to the company’s website, “Baking Pitchfest 2024” offers a product edition geared toward baking brands founded and owned by people of color across the U.S., and a bakery edition, which focuses on people of color-owned bakeries in the Northeast and Washington state. “Half mentorship, half competition, Baking Pitchfest is an accelerator program designed to foster greater inclusivity and creativity in the baking world by providing equitable opportunities for People of Color entrepreneurs,” the website states, adding that winners will receive financial support, mentorship, and exposure. But the initiative has generated outrage amongst conservatives online, who have blasted the competition eligibility rules as discriminatory against white people.

One X user critical of King Arthur Baking’s contest posted an email she received from the company in response to her complaining. “Helping build joyful, equitable communities that celebrate diversity is an important part of who we are as a company,” the email states, later adding: “We love baking with anyone and everyone. Our simple expectation is that everyone show respect for one another.”
