Every single week for the last two years, I have p

Every single week for the last two years, I have published a blog post on Fairly Southern. Every Sunday. Until a week ago.
.
I’ve been on a much needed (socially distanced) vacation and was bummed that I’d have to spend my Sunday afternoon inside writing instead of enjoying the sun and sand. I just hadn’t had time to prep the post before leaving town.
.
Then, I remembered that I’m an adult and the boss of me. I remembered that I’m also the boss of my own blog. So I shut down my computer and hit the beach. I skipped my post last week and this week too, and I feel like a physical weight has dropped from my shoulders.
.
Putting myself on a strict weekly writing schedule was a really good thing for a while. I had so many posts I wanted to write that I hadn’t previously made time for. I knew I needed to start being more consistent. So I made the weekly commitment to myself, and I have a lot to show for it.
.
But lately, there have been too many Sundays when I am mega stressed about finishing (or heck, just starting) my weekly post. And it’s such a relief to finally throw in that towel and say that that’s not going to work for me anymore.
.
Don’t worry, FS isn’t going anywhere. I don’t know what my new schedule is going to look like or if I’ll even have a schedule! But I wanted y’all to know why you haven’t had an email in your inbox the last two weeks. Everything is okay...in fact, things are great! 😎
.
I’m excited to see where Fairly Southern continues to take me/us. If you have feedback, suggestions, or ideas of what you’d like to see, let me know. Fairly Southern is a little bit for me, but mostly it’s for you. 💙

If you’ve been following me a while, then you already know that the 4th of July brings up tricky feelings for me. This year, I am more disillusioned with the USA than ever before. I can’t even begin to celebrate freedom and justice when those words have long meant absolutely nothing for a large portion of people living in the US.
🇺🇸
My family has been taking turns reading this tattered (my fault for getting it soaked in my beach bag, sorry Mom) copy of Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson. We didn’t plan it this way, but all of us finished it just in time for us to watch the movie Just Mercy together tonight. Honestly, I can’t think of a better way to honor the 4th than by learning from the experiences of a Black American lawyer fighting for justice for wrongly and unfairly convicted individuals while also confronting racial inequities in our country. He has saved so many American lives. A true patriot. May we all follow in his shoes by continuing to fight for freedom and justice for all.

What is something you stopped doing during quarant

What is something you stopped doing during quarantine that you don’t plan to pick back up again? Or something you started doing that you plan to continue? I stopped painting my toenails! This may hardly seem revolutionary, but I haven’t spent more than a day or two without brightly painted nails since my early teens. I discovered that I actually quite like my natural look! My nails look a lot healthier now that the stained top layer has grown out, and I’m glad to be saving myself from some toxic chemicals. I’m not saying I won’t ever paint them again, because I’m sure I will (I love variety!). But I broke a cycle of feeling like I HAVE to do things a certain way, and it feels good to have that fall away.
💅
Okay, now I want to hear yours! What have you let fall away?

Keep protesting, keep fighting. This is all connected—racism is not just police brutality. It is literally in the air we breathe and the water we drink. White allies...environmental activism has to be inclusive. (Sorry for all the typos—Canva is very hard for me to navigate on my phone!!) (no one is tagged on this post because I made it myself. Thank you all so much for the concern though!)

Do shampoo bars ACTUALLY work?? —my first though

Happy Juneteenth friends! In case you aren't aware, June 19th marks the actual day enslaved people in America were freed.
.
.
Although Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in January of 1863, there was resistance in Texas and slavery continued there for another 2.5 years, like nothing ever happened. On June 19th, 1865 a Union General arrived in Texas with enough troops to overpower the resistance and the remaining enslaved were finally freed. June 19th became an annual day of jubilant celebration and the name "Juneteenth" was coined.
.
.
Over the years, the importance of Juneteenth became stifled for many reasons, including the miseducation shared in classrooms which only cited Lincoln's 1863 proclamation as the formal end of slavery. Thankfully, there has been a resurgence of Juneteenth celebrations in recent history but it's still not widely known (granted, I didn't grow up in the US but I never learned about it in college and didn't hear the term until well into adulthood).
.
.
In 1980, Juneteenth became an official state holiday in Texas. I think it's time other states follow suit! [note from @fairlysouthern: the country needs to follow suit too! Check out my stories and go sign the petition. Plus other Juneteenth content in my stories as well! And be sure to also go follow @iamgiagraham ....she is such a talented artist!]

“They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds.”
🌵
Incredibly powerful piece by @katelynrichelleart. Be sure to look at some of the seed details in the second photo. Each one bears a name.
🌵
We all need to do our part to water the seeds and grow a garden of justice for those who were scattered on the ground. Say their names. Don’t look away from the headlines. Listen and learn. And, most importantly, ACT. Pick a way to get involved, and start gardening. It’s going to take a lot of us doing our part to grow justice.

Last week I only listened to people of color on social media and only shared content from people of color. I have SO MANY takeaways from this experience and highly recommend that every white person reading this engage in this practice as well. Head to my latest blog post to read my reflections on the experience, including things that made me angry, things that left me feeling inspired, and more. There was just way too much to fit in an Instagram caption. Link in bio.

Been flying since June 1 and can’t stop won’t stop. Happy Pride Month, LGBTQIA+ friends! You are loved! (Also please notice the actual rainbow God snuck into this pic. 😭😭 She loves and celebrates all of y’all too.)
