One last thing: #SSB was composed for a London men’s club in the 1770s before Key wrote new lyrics in 1814. Johnson wrote #LEV to commemorate #Lincoln’s birthday, highlighting the struggles of post-#Reconstruction. It was debuted by 500 schoolchildren in 1900 & quickly spread across the US, long before the SSB was taken on (thanks to campaigning by the Daughters of the #Confederacy) as the US official #anthem.

PS: #SSB (1814) was deemed controversial even when Key was alive bc said lyricist had such a bad track record of white supremacy, even by 19th c standards👀 When it was made the official anthem in 1931, it was seen as a neo-Confederate victory: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/08/28/even-republicans-should-care-about-racist-history-star-spangled-banner/

#LiftEveryVoiceAndSing is 123 yrs old. The prayer of freedom was written BEFORE SSB was est. as our national anthem (by executive order in 1916 & officially by public law in 1931).

When you get mad about this hymn, you expose your ignorance. You got mad 123 yrs too late.

Y’all are mad at these lyrics? They are the soul of what’s virtuous about the US. Take several seats. And pick up a book; maybe enroll in AP African American History.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! #Blackmastodon #superbowl

Pressuring people to keep their cameras on during #Zoom meetings can put #disabled ppl in a really difficult position. I had a conference during an #fnd flare up & was unable to look at the screen. I also had to lie down while waiting for the storm to pass. But you need to see my “smiling face” so bad? ?? 3 hrs ago, I had Zoom lectures while caring for a sick relative. I was crying after trying to keep her alive while waiting for emergency care & was still told: camera on. Do we really need to?

#ship30for30 Day 2!

I’ve never really written about my partial paralysis due to #fnd, or the odd period that followed. Lockdown was easing in the UK & my uni friends were thirsty for their youth. I became aware of the clash btw my age & my body.

#AtomicEssays are helping me relearn how to write — exciting! I’m considering using this challenge as a chance to explore #patientnarrative, adding a heartbeat & soul to the passive subject on an examination table.

Years ago, my mom told me that #UGA bribed Black students to go anywhere but there. Today, she told me that once they started letting Black kids go there, white students actively tried to run them over with their cars. One vehicle hit her friend’s sister.

This was the 1970s, not the 30s.

Growing up in #GA, probably 90% of my high school class went there for college. They’d stoned me, whispered the n word in my ear, etc.

I’m sure UGA’s changed. Still fled north to #NYU😅. #blackmastodon

Hey #WritingCommunity! Have any of you ever experienced a loss of literacy / difficulty #writing due to an #illness or #disability? I don’t mean the inability to type or hold a pen; I mean the inability to spin the thoughts that become your craft.

I’ve decided to do #ship30for30! On the tube this morning, a woman openly gawked at me the whole ride, inspiring my 1st #AtomicEssay.

I’m 25, #disabled, I sometimes need a walking stick thanks to #FND, & yes, it is natural to look. But I see you, too.

As a patient who works in #raredisease, it’s interesting to see how the #medical community loves to hear from me when I talk about surviving fatal illness & exceeding their very low expectations, but wants me to keep quiet when I point out the fact that patients like me still have a low quality of life due to long term complications.

This is sad, bc they’re the ones who can offer us followup care, address research gaps, etc. But we can’t have one without the other.

And considering the history of medicine’s treatment of Black women, I would say doubly so for someone like me.

As a patient who does #raredisease advocacy work, research, outreach, etc, in the back of my mind, I wonder if I’m seen as a professional or as #HenriettaLacks

#Medmastodon we need to establish that even though I’m a #patient, I’m not a scientific topic or #opportunity. I’m a full human being.

To make the shift to a more #equitable culture that ultimately does the most good, this is something you need to understand.
