This is a “fede ring” (image: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_1857-0928-1 ) a gold ring bearing two clasped hands, from the 1300s. It could symbolise faith, trust, friendship, or love. If you could bestow a fede ring to anyone, who would it be and why?
What has your household done to support black people in your community?
I live alone. I advocate online, share info on Black-owned businesses, made a shirt for eBay with profits to Color of Change, and attended this year’s BLM rally/march in the nearest big city. Scroll down my feed for the sign I made.
Who plans on taking the Covid vaccination
I will, although I expect unpleasant side effects due to muscular dystrophy. COVID would be way worse, likely deadly, so I will deal with the vaccine.
NOLA has the best food in the country, IMO. Of course I haven’t been everywhere 😅 so I guess I’m biased. I’m from nearby in Mississippi but now live on the Alabama coast and we have a lot going on as well. Some people call us Little New Orleans because of the similarities. It was all Louisiana territory back when my ancestors settled here, and that influence remains solid today. We just have better traffic...barely. 😂
that's amazing! The body is fascinating. We feel limited and boom we are told we are a gift! I've got to ask my mom what hers is. Its not as rare as yours but it's the kind they want for the infants too.
It was such an interesting thing to learn about and I wish that I had known when I was much much younger. Not only am I Rh negative, but also missing the Fy(a) antibody in the Duffy blood group that most white people have, but somehow I don’t! I’m also C negative, E negative, K negative, and Jk(b) negative. So I am ultra rare. Fascinating stuff! They were really happy I was willing, and I’m grateful to be able to help.
On the 1st, I learned my blood is so rare that I am among 6% of the world population that can donate blood to infants needing transfusion. I’ll do it regularly as long as I’m physically well enough. It gives me purpose.
