In 2016, I received an email that knocked me off my feet. It was a tip about Jesuit priests who sold 272 people in 1838 to save Georgetown University. This wasn't news to historians, but it it astounded me. Catholic priests participated in the slave trade? Why didn’t I know?
This ⬇ is for all you 0/1 types giving ME and others, such as @KamalaHarris specifically, static for c0dE sHiFtInG.
FU!
(Btw KH, anything you can do to get me back my cane that the Oakland PD stole from me would be VERY appreciated!)
@rockfan Yes, also happens in my mixed fam. Then, after a new arrival, rels obsessively check EYE COLOR.
I was told stories of grandparents insisting my eyes were going to turn black like theirs.
Rascist advice to my black-eyed bebé: "nah you tell'em you have beautifulBrown eyes". [smh]
Unbeknownst to me, this ⬇ guy was using me as his beard.
When the 2nd one (a *mechanic*, unsurprisingly) *also* used me as a beard, I had to wonder...
jfc, how masculine am I anyway?!!
(i hope you can hear all the Repuglican gIrLz telling me to wear more makeup right now. 🤣)
@SureReality @andyinTOONT@24tog I had to show my first ex all things 🚗. He thought doing anything mechanical was CLASS-related! Bragged about his ignorance by offensively declaring that *his* family *HIRED* people for *that* kind of work!!
Grrr. Talk about the mistakes I've made! That one lasted way too long.

@historyoarmani2 Being fingerprinted by a bunch of governmentGoons against my will.
It was 1966; I was 11.
(Go ahead, ask me what planet I'm from... 🤣🤣🤣)
@Theresaroets911 I did before moving back to the southwest. I feel like i'm swimming against the current here, & it's exhausting.
I went to a 🌈meetup soon after arriving, but was greeted w/ expressions of defeat - not one smile! I left.
I was seeking camaraderie, not commiseration. Am I wrong?
@DrLearnALot Yes. Which is why I'm betting the sympathetically racist captain coached the p0oR persecutedPerp on how to avoid the charge.
