  • From beneath a glass table, the camera looking upward, three gamers examine a series of cards laid out, a series of brightly colored polyhedral dice, and a few gummy bears in a clear plastic container. A bookcase behind one player holds stacks of board games; one that's visible is Risk.
    The binary that’s done more harm than any of the others is Us versus Them.

  • In a living room, a Black woman wearing an African-print top blows out a match. On the Kwanzaa table in front of her, draped with Kente cloth in shades of gold, green, and red, are ears of corn and a kinara: a Kwanzaa candle holder with three red taper candles, three green, and one black candle in the center, which is lit. There are gifts and gift bags propped around the table, and on the wall above the Kwanzaa table is a purple banner that says "Kwanzaa" under a stylized kinara with seven lit candles.
    I’ve never lived a year of my life without Kwanzaa. The Nguzo Saba, Kwanzaa’s 7 principles, still help me.

  • A table covered with a red tablecloth and a purple tablecloth. The front is labeled with the word PRIDE, with each letter handwritten on a separate piece of letter paper. On the center of the table is a clear box filled with large serving spoons. The rest of the table is completely covered by many loose spoons. Among the spoons are many handwritten signs labeled with types of disabilities: “cognitive,” “developmental,” “sensory,” “hidden,” and so on.
    This two-part ritual, inspired by the disability justice concept of spoon theory, includes a litany of things that can “take spoons away” from people. Part of the WorshipWeb collection “Worth and Dignity of All Bodies.”
