@Freiheit - CA that's what I'm trying to understand. Apparently she is 0.5% Indian and 99.5% white. So which is she?

Closest at all I could come was my dad was from New York and my mom was from Texas and how that kind of played out

An English class of mine in hs had a project of this kind, on our great diversity and what those in our roots had to overcome to become American. This was in a mostly Asian Jewish and brown class
And I not even being fully woke at the time wrote about my ancestors having to fight the Indians and such
Cause it was like I'm white what am I supposed to say

I belong here unlike the implication of this project
@Ald I am relocating to MN for the winter starting in Dec. (you asked about the MN chapter)

Yes
@ophiuchus Good idea, make sure to bring that to your coordinator and/or @wayne peek
Good morning IE! What's on everybody's reading list today?
My fiancée just made a Soviet Russia joke. In Soviet Russia, alligators don’t eat you, you eat the alligators. Idk what people are talking about when they say women can’t be funny 😆
@Roland that snazzy cover tells me we might find some NYT Bestseller POZ in there. Hope I'm wrong.
"The Varangian guard were actually more queer Afro-Levantine druze than you may have known."
How is it?
Lol. If it isn't a primary source, I take it with a grain of salt.
Just started reading it so idk yet
Egalitarianism is a revolt against nature, which never loses.
