    My grandmother, who was sent to Siberia for 10 yrs, said that in February, birds wld freeze to the ground. So, prisoners, who were sent to work, wld grab small birds, put them under their armpits. By the time prisoners got back to barracks, the birds would thaw out & fly away.

    What's tough is how much the treatment you receive - even socially- is tied to notion of "prof accomplishment," esp. as a woman of color.

    ugh can’t believe I wasted all these years believing in the power of institutions when I could have believed in something fun like horoscopes

    Over the years I've seen old pictures of the moving desks of the Central Social Institution of Prague, but I had no idea they were still in use.

    The word “heartland” has also resurfaced. I grew up in the so-called heartland. Land of casseroles and county fairs and Friday night bingo. And yet it seems that term does not encompass the neighborhoods where I lived and the folk of the great migration that raised me. Ya know?

    Heartland is code. And I'm over it. It erases the legitimacy of the experiences and reality of Black mid-Westerners and cloaks white mid-Western communities in a gauzy innocence and authenticity.

    This is a systemic problem for drivers. If they use the restroom at the airport, they get ticketed. If they ask to use the toilet in ppls homes, they are put on blast. And even the restaurants who benefit from their labor won’t let them use the bathroom. It is so dehumanizing.
