Day 1: Salt

The salt air teases your hair, my fingers trapped in its embrace. My eyes catch yours, the golden sand reflects back at me, teeth like pearls nibbling on the corner of the mouth that encases them and freckles dot your flushed cheeks at random intervals. The birds call out our song even as my lips find the tip of your nose, a gasp escapes you. Your hand finds the back of my neck teasing the bun my hair is swept up into. Everything feels so right. You call me your wonder woman, but my dear you have always been my Supergirl, together we stand. Frozen in time.

10 photos from my camera roll

As tagged by @malcolmtuckersthrobbingtemple​ thanks!

1. Rebecca Front looking beautiful as ever has become my phone wallpaper.

2. Coronation Street, I took this a few days ago on a long walk I went on. I can’t believe I had never noticed it before. 

3. Weird robotic bird plane thing I drew ages ago. I took a photo to send a friend who was talking about robotic birds.

4. An urbanised creek thing taken on the aforementioned walk

5. Cheese plater, cherry tomatoes and dukkah from dinner two nights ago

6. A cool alley way I discovered on a walk a few weeks ago

7. Flowers on my way back from the supermarket

8. A play ground I used to play on as a three year old

9. A very confusing error message I received the other day 

10. I saw this on the front fence of a house on a main road. I thought it was lovely. The fact that it’s handmade makes it so much nicer, it really brightened things up.

Yee Haw

Dustin was once again, stuck in history class. He absolutely hated this class with a burning passion. It wasn’t the class, mind you, but the teacher. He was just rude in general and showed no sense of mercy for the students, and Dustin picked up on that right away, deeming him as a bad teacher.

Dustin started bouncing his leg, waiting for the class to just end. He finally let his boredom get the best of him and did something he would regret later.

All was quiet in the classroom, save for a few whispers among peers. Everyone has begun to work on their assignments. Suddenly, the silence was broken by an eardrum-shattering scream. “YEEEEE HAAAWW”

The world of TikTok has created in me a new question for study.

We know that black folk (American) have become such fantastic cooks because of the multitudinous scenarios that played out between emancipation, segregation, cooking and cleaning for white families at the expense of their own families, etc. (Go watch or read The Help if you need some context)

What I want to do is a proper sociological study of (and there's no real way to do it because it would be a timelapses study over decades) if the population of young black folk that are now adults in the US (millennials and der gen Z) are so germaphobic as a direct correlation to their grannies having been cleaners for white folk in the 60s and 70s.

But as I said the time is passed, so. I'm so curious because I thought my couple black friends were just... Super picky and clean, kinda germaphobic... But now I'm seeing generational trends and I'm wondering if it's a new thing or if it's a trait passed down generationally.

If you're a young black person and your matriarchal head(s) were cleaners or housekeepers for white folk in the 60s and 70s, did you inherit a certain need for extreme cleaning and being utterly convinced that no one outside of YOU has proper health and housekeeping standards? If you were taught this behavior, do you know why? Who taught that person? What is the root of the cause in your family?

Then I want to branch out to other nationalities, enthicities, and races.

I am white. My family is from Detroit and flint, Michigan (two incredibly minority-bound and extremely povertous cities left behind after the car companies left Michigan. Think "we still don't have clean drinking water" Flint) and my family, particularly my dad, fever-cleans like he thinks stripping the sealant off the baseboards will prevent a single hair from invading his living space. Like he doesn't work a customer-facing job. He cleans like this every Saturday and cleans his kitchen like this daily.

I don't always clean like that because I have a heavy past in food service, a science degree, ADHD paralysis, and depression, all of which tell me that expending my energy like that I'd a lot of work for very little actual reward.

What's your story? Can I hear?
