I don't wear shoes in the summer unless a store specifically requires it or I'm mucking out stalls. My feet are very leathery. It's odd how people look at you if you are shoeless but aren't at the beach or something. Having no shoes historically meant 'poor.' To me, it means not conforming, and being natural and free of social constructs. Plus, my feet are wide, and shoes hurt!

It means we have no way of blocking out stimuli. I get 'sensory overload' from environments most people would consider fun: an amusement park, party, mall, concert. It's like our senses are set higher than other people's, and with no "off" switch. Bright lights, noise, strong smells and too many human energies can trigger extreme fight-or-flight responses, stress and anxiety. Because of this I have chosen to live far out in the woods, away from artificial stimuli and smells, in a sparsely decorated cabin. Now I am happy and at peace. I choose to go to town and pick my activities carefully. My friends understand that I sometimes need to go away and recharge, but that I will come back. I just have a lower tolerance for input than most people. I do not consider this a disability, just something I need to be aware of.

i've been on foodstamps at periods in my life and had a medical card when one of my girls was born. looking around at the clientele in the waiting room, you can tell who is long-term trash and who is just needing a little help. the slovenly vacant-eyed cigarette-smoking bitch yelling at her tangle-haired snotty nosed sickly litter of kids is usually white. the clean little kids with neatly braided hair and decent clothes are usually with a Black mom who is very conscious of other's eyes on her. This is in rural Oregon. i don't know how it is in the cities, but here, we have plenty of white trash and our Blacks are the ones trying hard to be independent. Maybe it's racial pride that they know they're being judged more harshly by the locals and they want to show them a thing or two.Same with Hispanics. They come here to work hard, and the lazy whites accuse them of taking all the jobs. BUt the white ones whould rather be on welfare than do 'spic work'. It's in the interests of the white elite to keep the white lower class blaming the 'minorities' for the problems. if the minorities and white lower class ever formed an allegiance, well my friends a genuine revolition just might happen. overthrow the plotocracy. Race is how they keep us divided.

Ugly comes in all sizes. It hurts to hear fat and ugly linked so often; it's almost become one word. I am fat - 5'3" and 200 lbs. I am not ugly, and I am quite happy with my size, as is my partner. Large & in charge. People MOVE out of my way and NOTICE me when I want something. Ugly is a state of mind; fat is a body type.
