- Me: Can I get rid of all my clothes down to a uniform of boots, jeans, and a loose black button-down top over a black nursing tank [what I'm wearing now and have worn every other time I've left the house since February]?
- Peter: Yeah.
- Me: You won't be bored with it?
- Peter: No. And we can turn the closet into a library...
I'm Here.
Right now: Brooklyn, New York
Not long ago: Austin, Texas
This one time: Richmond, Virginia
Once upon a time: Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Grant me the serendipity to change
the things I cannot accept.

AND refuses reward, saying it should go to the victims, but hey, rape culture, patriarchy and colonialism still (yawn…) guide your worldview enough that the takeaway here is the cheap LOL rather than the severe WTF.

“Don’t you know that slavery was outlawed?”
“No,” the guard said, “you’re wrong. Slavery was outlawed with the exception of prisons. Slavery is legal in prisons.”
I looked it up and sure enough, she was right. The Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution says:
“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
Well, that explained a lot of things. That explained why jails and prisons all over the country are filled to the brim with Black and Third World people, why so many Black people can’t find a job on the streets and are forced to survive the best way they know how. Once you’re in prison, there are plenty of jobs, and, if you don’t want to work, they beat you up and throw you in a hole. If every state had to pay workers to do the jobs prisoners are forced to do, the salaries would amount to billions… Prisons are a profitable business. They are a way of legally perpetuating slavery. In every state more and more prisons are being built and even more are on the drawing board. Who are they for? They certainly aren’t planning to put white people in them. Prisons are part of this government’s genocidal war against Black and Third World people.

Birthday: the thing that you almost forget, between having a kid and losing a grandma. It’s tomorrow…! Wah.
I can’t believe it’s not February anymore.
I can’t believe it was already a year ago that I flew from Austin to spend the month with Peter in New York.
I can’t believe it’s already almost a year that we’ve known about our little one.
Last year was a tumultuous blink. This year I’m working on keeping time from flying.
