Donāt forget, it has been a traumatic year for Black people. White people, how are you going into this new Gregorian year without adding to the problem (and not just writing BLM in your bioš§)

āontological slavery happens *before* the enslaver interacts directly with the enslaved. they have already decided what you are & what you will be, what "rights" you do or don't have. what happens from there is just details.
many beings have been ontologically oppressed for some period of time, by someone, at one point or another.
what is unique about anti-Blackness is the *global consensus* on the status of Black people, and its enduring length - since at least the 7th century (the 600s) A.D.
Hi! Iām Tai. 22 yr old non binary neurodivergent Black and Taiwanese/Chinese somatic practitioner. Things I love are: cats, lgbtq and black justice memes, the forest. I want to share somatic healing and anti oppressive content here. I also like to share my creative expressions of poetry, dancing, songs, etc.

Although I did learn that the US caused the Gulf of Tonkin in a false flag, causing the Vietnam war. Learned that in a HS class with a teacher who made us read A Peopleās History by Howard Zinn. We also learned about how race was utilized as a divide and conquer when poor black and white farmers came together to try to rebel against and overthrow higher status people. Govt enforced racial discrimination to divide the ppl so those with more $ and status couldnāt be overthrown

Taking a Disability Studies class changed my life because it was one of the first classes Iād taken in which society was said to be at fault and the roots of these faults were explored, while celebrating those who didnāt fit into norms, those with differences from the norms
Constructing Normalcy on page 3 is a great read. I hate how disability studies can be too white though. Black Disability studies are where itās at. Anyone have resources?^
European invention of the word normal in relation to bodies around 1840s
In order to justify that only bodies that could work in industrial places could be considered okay. This creeped into beauty standards, body standards, etc.
Highly suggest the āConstructing Normalcyā by Davis
in this free Disability Studies reader.
Writing to you tonight. Iām so sorry. Why you and not me? Could have been any of us neurodivergent Black people.

Matthew, Iām sorry. When you get back to your home (and out of modern day plantations), you will be embraced by the most love in the world.
