So… yeah. There’s a sick cat who probably won’t make it to the end of the year.
They wish to have it taxidermied. No car and cannot drive so it has to be in SF.
Are there any options? If there’s truly none here they can try and plan to take a vacation to bus it somewhere close by.
Thank you for reading.
I’m American.
I’m triracial and everyone always assumes that I have food, language, and special traditions passed down to me. And when I express that I don’t, I’m met with disappointment and being pushed out of a group.
My family is entirely American assimilated. Going back to my grandparents. No recipes. No language. No traditions.
I live like and grew up as a basically anglosaxon american, while consistently being questioned my whole life. I only ate tv dinners and celebrated the basics of American holidays. English has been the only language for generations.
What has made it worse is when I go abroad. I am always given the benefit of the doubt being American. And for some reason I am unlike the other Americans I deal with abroad. No connection because I only ever seem to run into monoracials. They tend to see me as racially ambiguous and disengage, despite us both being Americans.
Idk. I just don’t know how to deal with the assumption from every single person that I meet that thinks I have a “rich culture”. Even in this subreddit, many mention having double the food and how their two different cultures clash… when this has never been my experience. It makes me feel less than. Even in America, it’s the same irl. They all have cultural touchstones and unique traditions and bond over that with each other. When they hear I don’t, it’s a basic, “oh that sucks” and then basically ignoring me.
So yeah. Anyone else that can commiserate with this experience? I’m in my 30s as well and queer in every sense of the word.
