Learning about the cautionary tale/warning for the black community to not go outside at night; lest they get captured by the “night doctor”,which was when people were paid to capture black individuals walking around at night,take them to the asylum&GET PAID $25 PER PATIENTS BROUGHT IN!&the asylum to prison pipeline is atrocious.Patients left in bare,white rooms in solitary cells

~When you swallow your pain,it never does digest.I suspect untreated pain curdles in your blood&changes your code.It sinks into the bone,blisters to the surface&then it presents as diabetes,alcoholism,depression,obsessive compulsiveness or cancer.Or that is how it looks in my family.My fathers & his fathers pain,likely became my own unease&obsession.In changing his own DNA,he changed mine~

Hearing about the lynching of Matthew Williams & George Armwood is heartbreaking… I somehow never knew about the racist past of the eastern shore & Sailsbury & Princess Anne’s… mob mentality & getting away with literal torture & murder. Just for white people to be able to say “We STILL own you - your job perspectives, your narrative, your wages, your life!” Infuriating & vile
