“Getting sober never felt like I had pulled myself up by my own spiritual bootstraps. It felt instead like I was on one path toward destruction and God pulled me off of it by the scruff of my collar, me hopelessly kicking and flailing and saying, 'Screw you. I’ll take the destruction please.' God looked at tiny, little red-faced me and said, 'that’s adorable,' and then plunked me down on an entirely different path.”

“I'm from the Lenape Tribe.
There're no full blooded Lenape alive. Interracial is assimilatory genocide, especially for Indiginous and Minorities worldwide.
Especially when specific suggestion on a mass scale is applied. For many tribes, Interracial was the only way to survive.”
