I need to be in Hawaii, Florida or California between January and April. I would only return to New York in late April. I need Fun in the Sun.

Little known Black History ~~ Onesimus

Lionel Sneed Ministries

Inoculation was introduced to America by a slave.

Few details are known about the birth of Onesimus, but it is assumed he was born in Africa in the late seventeenth century before eventually landing in Boston. One of a thousand people of African descent living in the Massachusetts colony, Onesimus was a gift to the Puritan church minister Cotton Mather from his congregation in 1706.

Onesimus told Mather about the centuries old tradition of inoculation practiced in Africa. By extracting the material from an infected person and scratching it into the skin of an uninfected person, you could deliberately introduce smallpox to the healthy individual making them immune. Considered extremely dangerous at the time, Cotton Mather convinced Dr. Zabdiel Boylston to experiment with the procedure when a smallpox epidemic hit Boston in 1721 and over 240 people were inoculated. Opposed politically, religiously and medically in the United States and abroad…

“I Could Not Afford To Fail” Admiral Samuel Gravely Jr. and Civil Rights

Cannot Afford to Fail ~~ Admiral Samuel Gravely, Jr.

The Inglorius Padre Steve's World

Vice Admiral Samuel Gravely Jr.

Friends of Padre Steve’s World,

Today in keeping with the theme of Black H“African Americans in Time of War” I am posting an article about a pioneer of civil rights in the United States Navy.

Vice Admiral Samuel Gravely Jr. is among the great pioneers of civil rights in the U.S. Military. The first African-American ever to be promoted to Flag rank he helped pave the way for so many others. Gravely understood the pressures on him at every stage of his career, He wrote:

“I was sure that I could not afford to fail. I thought that would affect other members of my race if I failed anywhere along the line. I was always conscious of that, particularly in midshipman school and any other schools I went to…I tried to set a record of perfect conduct ashore and at sea.”

Can’t Touch This

Can’t Touch This

WARNING!!

At the end of this blog post is a true life incident that happened to me earlier today. Another #MeToo incident. May contain triggers but it will also explain why I keep my distance from people and I don’t trust anyone.

My Theme song for the outstretched arms people who besieged Loners and Solitary both Left and Right

Feel the need to envelop you in folds of sweaty germ laden flesh. Suffocating you in the name or dimensions of comfort. Theirs not yours.

Smiling Bitch Face

She Likened them to the demands of strange men who expect Kewpie Barbie Stepford Wives fake painted on smiles

Well brother She bequeath to you and all smile obessed males…..Resting Bitch Face.

Works well on a subway, bus or street near you.

Resting Bitch Face

She projectile vomit your antiquarian views across the floor.

Got my Mind Right No dumbing down for your pitiful expectations.

In the meantime go rent yourself a plastic sex doll with the gaping maw that won’t quit. Heard that there’s a Twilight version made just for you complete with razor sharp canines.

True Experience

Reasons why I don’t trust people, ask for help and why I remain cynical and jaded.

Via is a car service similar to Lyft and Uber

The Via driver kept asking me for my phone number because he wanted to date me. I’m 59. He is 37. Plus you are not supposed to be propositioning your riders. The entire conversation was wrong but when you are a woman alone in a car with a man you learn to placate them because Men can be and are violent. Plus I just wanted to get home in one piece.

I decided to report the Via driver. He was unprofessional. I also asked for a refund. You’d think in this age of #MeToo men would stop their bad behavior but nothing stops males. It’s like they are on a mission to conquer women or add them as a notch on their belt.

I began taking car services for safety and health reasons. It has become very difficult for me to climb up and down subway stairs. However at this point I may as well take my chances of tripping and falling on the subway steps as opposed to crazy Via drivers asking me for a date.

Women aren’t safe anywhere in America or at any time. No matter what precautions we take it always backfires. At least for me anyway.

Via gave me a $10 credit. I won’t use it. They can keep their credit. Thinking of deleting the App on my phone. Why is it that when Ladies take precautions for safety that it backfires? There needs to be a car service run by and only for women. Maybe that would be better.

Guys you give yourselves bad reputations. Mothers Please teach your sons better because women can be just as much at fault as men. Where do guys get these stupid ideas that it’s okay to see women as sex objects? It can just be from male relatives. A lot of this mess comes from their Mothers!
