Good Morning Friends,

I sat down a little while ago and spoke with my cismale friend Jamal over a soy pumpkin spice latte. Anyways we dug real deep in a topic that Jamal cares deeply about ... hurricane names. He was outraged that hurricanes are rarely given “brothah” or “sistah” names as he puts it. Instead of Hurricane Tyrone or Lakreisha we get Hurricane Sally????

Hello this is 2020 not 1865! It’s time to end this form of system racism!!!

I’m literally in tears right now because I saw how hurt Jamal is over this.

FWIW, I've personally never met a white Katrina.

He had Omar. It's not our fault it didn't get any media attention.

Yeah, I was thinking Katrina, but then I looked it up and there are tons of white Katrina's in Australia/NZ.

And NOAA addressed this a while back, which is why we have names like Nana.

It took them 25 years to stop naming them with female only names...can't wait until they throw additional confusion onto the pile with requests for non-binary or unicorn-kin names.


"Hurricane RainbowSparkles has been upgraded to Category 3 as it makes landfall with the Atlantic Coast."

I'm offended by the name Marco.

European conquistadors still conquering native lands.

When does it stop

We had Marco. I associate that with the people of Mexico and South America. Not necessarily black, but certainly brown.

Yay, progress!!!

It's unfortunate there isn't a rollback feature here.

Sally actually feels like a boy so she has asked that her name be changed to Steve
