I’ve talked a bit about my family, the Pamunkey tribe’s historic anti-blackness, and the enrollment case for which we have enlisted the help of Congresswoman @RepGwenMoore and a tribal lawyer, but now I want to take time to explain the whole story.

Ok, I’m out on this app✌🏾
Will be keeping it up because I think there are good things I’ve shared. I dunno if that’s the ethical choice or if I should delete the account completely. But that’s where we are now. 👋🏾

Over four years ago, Brian protested with March For Our Lives to demand action on gun violence in our schools and communities.
This week, he was shot in both hands and through his neck by an AR-15 at his school in St. Louis. He jumped out of a window to save his life.

I think they confusion comes because “Black” in America is a race and ethnicity - it specifically means African Americans in much of its usage. But outside of America, people, including Indigenous Africans, are Black and call themselves Black people.

As far as the similarities to us, well in 2017 they just got around to renaming Mt N*****, Mt Jim Crow National Park, and seven places called N***** Creek. This is in North Queensland which has a history of sugar plantation slavery.
That is some Black sh*t to have to deal with.

But when it is said aloud, there is no difference. Which is why it’s simply a matter of preference.
There are ethnic, cultural and historic differences among all Black people around the world.
They have been racially defined as Black. So they have as much right to the term.

I have noticed that Black Australians in the cities use the term Blak in writing more. I wonder if they find a need to distinguish from recent African immigrants in cities.
The term originates w an art show in the 90s. The artist took the “c” out to symbolize the c-word (slur).

African Americans and Aboriginal people even forged alliances during our concurring Civil Rights Movements. There were several chapters of the Black Panther Party in Australia.

The fact that we are just out here winging it, when science only recently discovered the connection between viruses and debilitating autoimmune disorders, which in turn means we could potentially have several generations worth of immune dysfunction is HORRENDOUS.

Look, I was sick constantly as a child. I had viral bronchitis that progressed to bacterial bronchitis at least once a year. My mother would check me at night to see if my lips were blue.
Surprise! I have autoimmune disease. Probably more than one. And extreme food allergies.

And I know we can’t prevent viruses from “going around”. Just like we couldn’t prevent bacterial infections before penicillin was discovered. But people used to put maggots in their gaping wounds to eat out the flesh or cut off an entire limb. I feel like we can wear a mask?!?

I mean, there is now research that Type 1 diabetes may initiate with a very bad virus in childhood.
Anecdotally, a friend of mine’s entire childhood friend group was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Their only common denominator was having passed colds and flus between each other

I should say that the most impressive common denominator to the researchers who studied them for a short period of time before the presumably lost funding, was that they had all gotten the same viruses, a few being considerably bad.

I wrote a poem about how I don’t want to UberEats anymore. And I haven’t since. So I’m here to tell you that poetry works.

I never noticed that the graphics on the Dunkin’ app make it look like it’s food to take with you when you flee the country.
