Butchin’ It
|
This chapter is for sisters, women, housewives, bachelorettes, everybody in the LGBTQ+ salad bowl. We are the ones who think we have to do things the hard way. Have you ever noticed that most men find an easy way to do something? While they discuss business, they play golf or relax with a beer. They delegate to you and everyone else in your family things called “chores”.

Homeless since 1970
|
I’ve been homeless since Sept. 29, 1970 — longer than anybody else out here. In those nearly 55 years, I’ve learned: Don’t ask for stuff from people on the street. It’s heartbreaking when they say no, it’s rejection. You don’t wanna ask nobody else, they’re gonna say the same thing.

Backbone
|
One thing about backbones. They rarely develop a consciousness that they are a backbone. Take white women, for example. We don’t realize that we’re the backbone of patriarchy! Or that we willingly or unwillingly support the whole structure that oppresses our fellow bones, ligaments and muscles that would be Black people, any people of color, Native Americans … Fellow women of all descriptions.

Coffee Shop Discrimination
|
There’s a coffee place that discriminated against a deaf person I know and called the police on her because she couldn’t hear. The staff told her she had to come in to order and when she did they called the cops because she was taking too long to order and holding up the line. I will not be buying my coffee at this establishment anymore. I can’t say the name, but it is a chain and it is a famous chain where everybody gets their coffee. It’s expensive coffee and you walk up to a window and everything.
