With Halloween less than three weeks away, this is a good time to share a few things about what you shouldn& #39;t do on Halloween:
1) Someone& #39;s race, ethnicity, culture, religion, or a stereotype of any of those things is NOT a costume. Don& #39;t do it. /1

2) It& #39;s not cute or funny to dress up as someone who is incarcerated. It& #39;s also not cute or funny to poke fun at folks with mental health issues. Don& #39;t do things like wear straitjackets. /2
Dressing up as "Covid" isn& #39;t funny. Many people have gotten sick; many people have died; many people have friends, family; co-workers; colleagues, etc. who have died. /3
Do NOT paint your face or skin to resemble a person of a race/color different than yours. If people don& #39;t & #39;get& #39; your costume without painting your face/skin, your costume is bad. /4
Your costume shouldn& #39;t be shaming or making fun of someone& #39;s body. You also don& #39;t need to be objectifying someone& #39;s body either. /5
Avoid anything that& #39;s transphobic or in any way making fun of LGBTQ+ individuals. People& #39;s lived experiences aren& #39;t something to joke about. /6
