Who knows about Sally Hemings?

She was Thomas Jefferson's slave.

Called his "mistress," but how can you be a mistress when you were a slave, a child, and could not consent? Had absolutely no choice?

She bore him 6, perhaps as many as 8 children. He kept her locked in a basement room.

The room was recently unearthed, and DNA evidence has proven the lineage of Sally's children.

She was beteeen 12 and 14 years old when he started raping her, and Jefferson was in his forties. He freed the children that he had with her, but not Sally. Her daughter had to free her mother after Jefferson passed away.

This is not taught in schools. This side of history. We are supposed to consider the founding fathers as great men, fighting for justice and freedom, guided by God... when they are evil men. Selfish men who did nothing, save that it was for their own aggrandisement, personal benefit, and financial gain.

I would also like to add that Sally was Jefferson's dead wife's half sister. Sally's mother was raped by her owner, who was Martha (wife of Thomas) Jefferson's father.

These people left a legacy.

A legacy of entitlement under the most criminal of circumstances, and White Supremacist beliefs which pervade U.S. Society and Culture, to this very day.

life saving surgery for my dad

this is posted July 2, 2019!

Hello, I just discovered that Gofundme does not work in the country I live in! More coherent post now that I’ve calmed down.

Hello! My name is Caleb and I am a trans guy of color who loves folklore, storytelling and drawing! I am raising money for my dad’s surgery + us getting back on our feet. He is 56 years old and his surgery is to remove kidney stones that are causing him significant pain +  is life threatening . My dad is a funny and incredible guy, He loves cats and singing and he had sacrificed everything for my mom, my sister and I.  Both him and my mom are diabetic and disabled, as when I was 9 years old, my mom had suffered a sudden sepsis attack, which had caused her to go brain dead for a few minutes, before being revived and fall in a coma for 3 months. When my mother woke up from her coma, she was paralyzed, even her vocal cords were paralyzed!! Ever since then it was just me and my dad who took care of our family, and then, when I graduated college, it was just me as dad got sick as well. I am only in my very early twenties and the sole caretaker of my family, my two disabled parents, my sister who is a minor, and our cats and dog.  My dad’s surgery was estimated to be 120 thousand pesos- 200 thousand pesos, which is 2,345.88 US dollars at least, and 3,909.80 US dollars at most.

I have a job, I just need a little bit of help.

1 US dollar = 50 Ph Pesos We live in the Philippines,  and my dad is taking an ultrasound tomorrow to see just what they can do about it. I will try to update as much as I can. Anything extra will go to my mom’s diapers, toiletries, etc, my dad’s maintenance medicine, and my sister’s lunch money for school. Thank you and sorry for my english;

(I used to have a youcaring for this, but as youcaring merged with gofundme, I believe that all the existing pages have been deleted. I have gathered about 30 thousand pesos on youcaring, and about 25 thousand pesos + today. I cannot thank you all enough) Thank you so so much for taking the time to read this, and I hope you are all well.

I will update as much as I can!

Dirk Gently’s holistic detective agency 🔍

Ok, well um. It’s gonna be a long post.

I only found out about the show “Dirk Gently’s holistic detective agency” in 2018

I really liked it! And recently I decided to read the original story. I am currently reading “The long dark tea-time of the soul”. Idk, but this piece makes me very happy.

(I am grateful to the 2016 series, because I found a book that I enjoy reading). I tried to draw the characters of the book as I see them…

Well, it came out like this

(sorry for the long text, I needed to share with someone) .
