Decolonizng

 I've been trying to understand the mechanics of decolonizing in a psychological way.  

There are obvious things like decentralizing whiteness. In my current world that doesn't mean a lot. I'm alone most of the time. Hood River is very white. So, I live in white space on a micro and a macro way. But I've lived and worked in less white space for years. Restaurant kitchens are multi-cultural, generally.

I'm thinking more about the smaller and more subtle things, which are really hard to explain. Mostly because I don't understand them yet. 

Also. Cleaning out my file cabinet. Which is way easier.

 Just ate a bunch of cherries. Fresh from a tree. Thank you, Jane. 

My stomach is less likely to expel everything I eat but still easily annoyed. Usually in the early part of the evening I think about what ate during the day and it's never much. But my stomach is done for the day. I just never really know how much is enough. But I know to err on the side of less. 

Or else. 

Two of my favorite things are coming in season. Peaches and tomatoes. Last year they were too acidic. This year, I guess we'll see.
