Gay hockey players are hot but boy do I have stories about gay martial artists. Grappling with a guy you have a crush on, on the mat and hiding affection in public was a teenage experience I hated to fucking love. 😰 someone write that book to series, please.

Born in Argentina, roots in Ukraine, yet claim Palestine as yours?
Audacity isn’t identity.

In lukumi at least an “unmarked” head is technically under the protection of Obatala. My main point is orisha is not a free for all, we have rules, protocol, tradition and culture to factor.
Until it has been confirmed through the APPROPRIATE divination protocols, you cannot claim to be officially a child of any orisha. Either you commit to the cultures or you witness and participate from the sidelines. You can be invited but the entitlement will not take you far.
I’ve never been to the West Indian parade. But I really want to go. Ppl know me know I rep West Indian Caribbean (fake trini mixed w Jamaican uvi accent heavy). Someone take me to where the gay and batty boy dem walk.
I'm finally sending requests for Oral History interviews for my research on Bomba in New York City!
I mostly use my own gear I’m looking for grants to upgrade software, tech and transcriptions. Anyone in my #OralHistory networks know of quick grant opportunities? 👀
