I [Finally!] Told my #Dad he needs to first presume that the restaurant staff (likely the owners or managers at small eateries) can speak English fluently, and to respectfully talk in full sentences.

I did this disarmingly by acknowledging intentions, but learned he isn't aware of his oppressive #CodeSwitching
He has a #TBI, but the presumptions are value based, and that's what needs to be disrupted.

#Pride my dad attended the everyone is Gay and God loves us sermon at church 💖💖💖 Tell 'em!!

If I need to write a text in language A, the most efficient way for me is to initially write it in a terrible mix of languages A, B, and C, with a splash of languages D and E.
A word or expression I need may not pop up in the right language immediately, and if I start fishing for it in the deeper parts of my brain, I'll likely lose my train of thought.
Guess how this post was written!
#Translanguaging #codeswitching

I watched a video of a college recruiter who grew up in El Paso, who was showing group pictures of the many organizations she belonged to. She pronounced El Paso as El Pay-so. There was a nuance of deliberate aggression in her pronunciation and I thought to myself, she grew up there, how could she not know how to pronounce it? Sure enough, I went back and looked at her group pictures, each with about 30+ people. Not a single brown person. #MicroAgression or #codeswitching ? 🤔
