Nary a day passes where ordinary WOC on Twitter aren't routinely harassed by random racists rolling into our personal spaces. Our stories are the ones that are never profiled in mainsteam media, yet we suffer the most from the #AbuserDynamics of White Supremacist behaviours.

It's not easy being caught between two worlds - the life you want to create for yourself and the one you were born into.

A story about racism from my youth.

What started out as a bit of light-hearted fun about wanting pizza, wings and a double mocha cappuccino at 6:33am turned into a teachable moment for many of my followers. Here is how they learned about some of my daily struggles as a #disabledWOC.

Another rant about colonialist oppressors in NDN Country. Oh the irony that Mixed-with-White NDNs and White Allies have far more traction with a lot of NDN Country folks than Black NDNs ever will. It's Anti-Blackness, straight up.

I became Homeless in early 2004. This is what I had to say about it - again.

I'm not sure why most of the "Status Natives" of NDN Country on Twitter following me even bother, given how virulently Anti-Black they are revealing themselves to be lately. Especially after my Storifys about Anti-Blackness in NDN Country generally and around the Pharrell War Bonnet controversy.

So Pharrell is on the cover of Elle UK wearing an NDN War Bonnet. The interview apparently mentions a Cherokee Grandmother. Of course many across NDN Country had a lot to say about it.

What wasn't cool was using racist Anti-Blackness as criticism, including the N-word on Facebook. Also - some NDNs piping up about Anti-Blackness also support NDNs who continue to show their Anti-Blackness. You can't walk straight with a foot on both sides of the fence.

Of course this BlackNDN remains unsurprised by any of it.

Some of the best fun on Twitter happens because of the most random things going on outside of it. Racist neighbours driving me crazy with noise inspired my #SoundtrackForRacists & #SoundtrackFor RacistsDEEPCUTS. Went down a treat from the feedback I've received directly.

We have Terrorism right here in 'Murrica instigated by the Powers-That-Be... as we always have since the earliest days of this Republic under the Founding Fathers.

Another day ending in y where I tackle ableism. Plus, my perspective as a Housebound #disabledWOC on the latest round of 'Hashtag Activism" bashing.

[therightkindofbrown]

When not being summarily ignored and erased, WOC on Twitter discussing Depression and other forms of Neurodiversity and Disabilities are routinely shamed for not being the "strong" women we are stereotyped as by WP and other POC. *ANGER AS AN INDICATOR OF DISTRESS* is never considered.

[therightkindofbrown]

A simple RT by me of someone else's rhetorical question unleashed a firestorm driven by a Black British Woman convinced that American Whites were in "Awe" of MLK. This escalated into me debunking old tropes about the South using #NotTheSouth bc of contd aggressive ignorance of another Black Briton.

Usually my disability-related rabble-rousing is within the confines of my @CreativeAspie account. This week I've also had to tackle Ableism / Ableist Language as @MochaLisaccino & @GeekPopLife. Ignorance on Twitter is the gift that keeps giving.
