  • Reminds me of when I saw a Mountain Spring Water filling station ornamented with a picture of a snow-capped mountain at a Wal-Mart about 500 miles from the nearest mountain and nearly 2k miles from the nearest snow-capped mountain. The thing had pipes out the back going into the wall. That was straight city water that maybe that dispenser filtered a little more if it was properly maintained.







  • Africans and their descendants were also traded like property, so many lost contact with their families. They weren’t allowed to talk about their heritage, so the next generation had no idea. If anyone here hasn’t seen Roots, give it a watch. It’s was hard for me, but I needed to see it. There’s a lot of tragedy, but even in that, there’s impressive resilience.

    “European-American” doesn’t really make sense in the same context, because generally speaking we all know the exact countries our ancestors came from. Whiteness, itself, is intended as a social construct to unite all the disparate European identities into a white USAmerican identity, so they’d stop having loyalties to their ancestral lands and so they’d recognize themselves as part of a privileged racial cast. It’s a whole thing.

    Thank youuuu! I wish there was a European ancestry movement to get White people to stop thinking they’ve been the “default American” since George Washington. Some people act like they own the country because they’re White and have the White accent, yet their ancestry got here two generations ago. Plus, this dichotomous model of ancestry and culture based on skin-tone is lacking. I want more cool cultures.








  • From what I remember about a year ago, Adderall made me feel a little strange, but the worst of it was the urinary retention. Maybe I didn’t take a high enough dose cause I only tried it for a month. I didn’t even finish the bottle. Now, I’m on Focalin after trying Ritalin for a while. It kinda feels like it turns everything down. Noises bother me less, I’m more focused, I’m less worried about what I’m doing or upsetting other people, and I’m more likely to eat. I am more calm going to places. I drive calmer. Without meds, I’m speeding, upset at everyone, can’t handle how people drive. On Focalin, I’m going 5 under wondering why everyone is in a hurry lol. Everything is kinda toned down. I don’t know why they call these things stimulants. They make me even af.
