“Black males who refuse categorization are rare, for the price of visibility in the contemporary world of white supremacy is that black identity be defined in relation to the stereotype whether by embodying it or seeking to be other than it…Negative stereotypes about the nature of black masculinity continue to overdetermine the identities black males are allowed to fashion for themselves.”

“I want it and I do not want it. I want to be visible and I want to be invisible, or perhaps I want to be visible to some people and not to others. It seems unfair that I can't choose.”

“It’s also joy. The joy to be here, to be free and finally able to walk around with pride and dignity as a lesbian woman in the midst of all these life-affirming rainbows, without worrying about who might see and possibly judge me.”

“To be rich and talented at the same time is rare but possible, but the most talented; the genius, is the one crippled and bulldozed into oblivion by the scourge of poverty.”

“The old practice of doing your job and keeping your head down doesn’t work that well anymore. As an experienced professional, you must be out there and if you are not visible you might as well not exist. And if you are looking to change careers or jobs, visibility is not a luxury — it’s a necessity.”

“Is this okay?"
"Yes," I answered with a nod.
She slid her fingers down my pants and touched me.
"You're so wet," she said.
And I was. Turned on in a way that was new, I felt the sensation I had only managed to reach on my own until this point. My body quivered, I wish we'd been alone, but the presence of others snapped us out of it.
Being in proximity to Jessica changed me. Growing up with hardly any queers around, this person helped me discover myself, someone who had pushed through the fear and the shame to exist proudly. Running into her on the sidewalk, seeing her at a party, eating the wraps she made at the mall, I didn't have a crush, but I yearned to be near what was possible. Her visibility meant the world
to me.
I think about this as I walk through the world now.”

“How the world sees us, how other people see us is meaningless. What’s important is how we see ourselves. We must be visible to ourselves.”

“I've had my heart broken too many times to think that visibility means everything. I don't think it changes who steps up and who stands back. [...] For some people visibility is about saving a life, and for other people it's about making things more comfortable. But again my dears, it's not about comfort. Safety, yes please. But comfort, comfort is overrated. As far as I'm concerned, life is about being alive and being connected to our fellow creatures. Full stop. And you're generation is making it worse with your serious faces and safe spaces and goddamn trigger warnings... Hello my darlings, loosen up! Live a little. Such a dick. Tell a joke. Fall in love. Show up to start trouble when it's necessary and don't whine when the world doesn't hold your hand.”

“One article creates visibility, which in turn puts you in front of other journalists, creating the possibility of more articles and visibility.”

“I have never heard feedback from a boss that employees report too much.
No matter your rank or role, there is always a place for reporting. It can take many forms, so it is not one-size-fits-all. Good reporting helps make your audience smarter.”

“When we bring our whole selves to work and make connections with our users, we do our best work. Our personal identities allow patrons to see themselves in those who have power and authority in an institution, and our openness fosters partnership, empowering patrons in a world that often strips them of autonomy.”

“Books helped me figure out, in my mid-20s, that I'm queer. In fact, it was mainly young adult books aimed at teenagers that showed me parts of myself I'd been hiding from for more than two decades. So when I say that I think diverse books are important, and when I spotlight queer titles and stories, it's because they mean a lot to me. I might have realized who I was sooner if I’d read a broader selection of books as a teen.”

“Do the marginalized people in your community know they're welcome in your library? It's easy to create a welcoming space with subtle touches. Unobtrusive stickers on monitors, small flags, a pronoun pin on your lanyard, even choices of colors can create an environment that feels safe to marginalized people.”

“Young queer people often feel that they need to find their label, settle into it, and then they’re done—they have their answer for life. Though coming to terms with being gay has its own set of specific difficulties, ‘gay’ is a word that has a generally fixed meaning in today’s society and has done for decades. But in the online aro and ace communities, there are still debates going on about the meaning of the words themselves.”

“We look for ourselves in the pages. So to take books off the shelves that contain, for example, LQBTQIA+ characters and lives is extremely damaging, especially for queer teens on the brink of becoming who they are meant to be. It’s essentially saying: ‘This way of living isn’t palatable to us. We don’t accept it. Don’t do it.’ And what could be more painful and distressing than that?”

“Standardization is a double-edged sword. It will slice you open as easily as it optimizes efficiency.
Any tag-and-track system we make standard will be co-opted to capture or kill free drones. Let's keep our mismash patchwork, keep ourselves inscrutable and inefficient. Visibility is a trap.”

“But, as I’ve told you before that’s not enough. The perception of you as a doer is good, but you should also be a talker. Because it’s not
enough to do stuff, you’ve to show that you’ve done stuff. There’s a lot of competition and bosses have no time to get into who did what
and when, hence only those who stand out will be picked up for plum jobs, promotions, and so on.”
