Will 🏳️‍🌈<p>I did it. I faced a tired queer stereotype head-on and owned it: I cut my own hair! 😊</p><p>Seriously, I am now the owner of a set of clippers with a long history. My dad, his dad, and *his* dad all used them and then passed them down. Made me proud to be part of the lineage.</p><p>I don’t have anyone to continue the chain, but at least I can search for someone who can use them with respect.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/OwningStereotype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OwningStereotype</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Legacies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Legacies</span></a></p>

Kida<p>For all that I enjoy technology, I also love the continuity of doing things my ancestors likely did hundreds and thousands of years ago: Getting up at night to tend the fire. Eating fresh-baked bread with cheese. Singing a baby to sleep. Covering new-sprouted plants with straw to protect against a late frost. Praising my proud cat for the mouse she brought me. Bathing in a cold river in the morning.</p><p>Growing up in rural poverty, I used this idea of legacy as a way to cope, to find meaning in difficulty: I am doing what humans do. My foremothers ten thousand years ago hauled their water and foraged for food and checked for snakes before squatting in the grass, and I can do it too.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Humanity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Humanity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Legacies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Legacies</span></a></p>
