"I want to do the right thing and not hide anymore. I want to march for tolerance, acceptance and understanding. I want to take a stand and say, 'Me, too.'" - Jason Collins

One of the reasons I created the Native Son movement is so that we as Black gay men could know who we are, where we come from, and take ownership of our own narrative. Our visibility is key to our self actualization and self acceptance. Today, we stand on the shoulders of #JamesBaldwin #AlvinAiley #MarlonRiggs #EssexHemphill #GeorgeFaison #WillieSmith #GeorgeCWolfe #AndreLeonTalley #IsaacJulien #ELynnHarris #ReggieVanLee #DarrenWalker #LeeDaniels #JasonCollins #BMichael #DarrinGayles #TarellAlvinMcCraney and countless other Black gay men who dared to live their lives authentically and to elevate our culture and community. Now, it’s time for us to celebrate these Brothers and to see our own greatness and possibilities in them. Let’s make Black History now! @nativesonnow #BlackHistory #Legends #ForTheCulture #BlackManMagic #OurStory #OurVoice #OurPower #NativeSon

There’s a hidden message on Jason Collins’ jersey. The basketball player selected number 98 as an homage to Matthew Shepard, who was murdered in 1998 for being gay. Collins would play most of his professional basketball career without publicly acknowledging he was gay. In 2011, he came out to close friends and family. When he publicly announced he was gay in 2013, Collins was one of the first male major league athletes to do so. In 2014, Collins announced his retirement. Now he now serves as an NBA ambassador and is a gay rights activist. #EntertainmentHistory #SportsHistory #BasketballHistory #Basketball #SmithsonianPride #Pride #Pride2019 #Stonewall50 #JasonCollins #AfricanAmericanHistory #BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #LGBTQ #LGBTQHistory #LGBTQIA http://bit.ly/2YeVFfa

Ubuntu Mate17.10 Review

Ubuntu Mate is an officially endorsed spin of Ubuntu built around a Mate desktop environment. With The 17.10 version recently released and an ever increasing number of people recommending for a fair range of audiences, I figured it was worth trying to see for myself to whom Ubuntu Mate would be suited and for what purposes. Welcome Screen On first boot (and all subsequent boots unless changed,) Ubuntu Mate greets you with a well polished, animated welcome screen which provides links marked: Introduction - which explain their intentions for the OS and such Features - page detailing various aspects of the Ubuntu Mate OS Getting Started - with links for quick post installation fixes and configurations Community Chat Room Software - which opens Ubuntu Mate's 'Software Boutique' Get Involved - for those who wish to help with the development of the OS Shop - with links to buy merchandise Donate Overall, pretty similar to most welcome screens but very nicely designed. Theming and Tweaking The first thing most users will want to do once Ubuntu Mate is installed on their computer is spend some time playing with the Mate Tweak tool. Pre-installed  with a wide range of panel layouts, Mate will configure to suit almost anyone. As standard, Ubuntu Mate is configured with the 'Traditional' panel layout, a choice of which the Ubuntu Mate team would have liked to have changed but chose not to based on their community's comments. The traditional panel layout is also Mate's standard and is intended to replicate the Gnome 2 desktop, the original aim of Mate's DE. The other layout options are also intended to mimic the user experience of what ever desktop environment people may be migrating from, with the 'Redmond' layout resembling an experience similar to that of traditional Windows desktops, 'Mutiny', a desktop solution for those missing Ubuntu's Unity desktop, although unfortunately with no option of global menus or HUD, Mutiny on Ubuntu Mate still won't fully replace Unity for some users, 'Cupertino' or 'Pantheon' for those who would prefer a more Mac-like experience as well as a few others to help individualise your desktop. The different panel layouts on offer will also change the menu provided to you as standard. The various menus on offer provide plenty of room for user preferences, ranging from basic drop-down lists to heavily designed modern menu styles with search bars and sound effects. Ubuntu Mate's choices of menus have a massive impact on how it feels to use this OS, making it feel more like a high quality system along with many smaller features that often get overlooked in some distros however, they are also the area in which most bugs would appear to occur, although this generally only means the occasional crash with a dialogue box immediately, offering to reload it straight away which it does with no further issues in most cases. Beyond this, there are all the standard theming options that you may expect with the window theming working nicely across all windows even with dark themes and the wallpapers provided as standard generally look pretty good with a reasonable range of choices. Software The software pre-installed on Ubuntu Mate will suffice for most users straight away and then most more specific tasks can be achieved with programs from the 'Software Boutique'. The Software Boutique provides a highly curated experience by cherry-picking only the most stable and well functioning software. This includes a range of office apps, educational apps, developers' tools, games and more which should keep most people content. Items can be added to a list ready to install whist you look over other items in the boutique. When you have finished browsing, the Software Boutique's bulk install tool will lock the app whilst all the apps from the list are installed, which prevents the Software Boutique from freezing and suffering from the bugs other software centres sometimes do. The software availability is not limited to that which is available in the boutique. However, being based on the six-monthly release cycle of Ubuntu, Ubuntu Mate utilises the most up to date software repositories Ubuntu has to offer so whilst it may lack the latest, most cutting-edge software that is sometimes present in certain rolling releases, users of Ubuntu Mate usually don't need to wait too long to be up to date. To gain access to more software, the Software Boutique has a link under its software categories to a list on which is the synaptic software manager and the Gnome software centre with a much larger collection of software to download. Who is it for then? As is clear from the above reviewed features, Ubuntu Mate could be used by someone coming from pretty much any platform quite easily and is also highly suitable for the less techy people who don't want their computer to be complicated or hard to use, Ubuntu Mate might not be my first suggestion for all of these users but as a go to distro to recommend it is hard to beat. The tools required to break the system are also well hidden so users who click on things they perhaps oughtn't would find themselves breaking less on here than they may on other operating systems. With that in mind, it still isn't unsuitable for more advanced users as all tools and applications that can be found on regular Ubuntu are also available here, so long term users of Ubuntu or other distros should be quite alright on it and may wish to swap over if perhaps miss Ubuntu's Unity DE and want the Mutiny theme for some level of continuity or if they want a desktop not as heavy as Gnome 3 but also not as basic as LXDE. Overall, Ubuntu Mate is a well polished and very stable OS with some really nice features. I would say that if your trying to choose an OS for almost any kind of use and you haven't yet tried it, then its worth trying. Feel free to request more info in comments.
