here's the thing:

since 9/11 am almost always stopped on account of either looking Arab or having an incorrectly sounding Arab name (Sabater is shoemaker in Català).

so now that i have no hair thanks to #cancer, i wear a head scarf. so not only am i looking MORE Arab. now that i use a cane thanks to #COVID19 and #chemo,
am also being surveilled for a potential weapon.

that's exactly what happened when i went to a store next door my oncologist.

fascism is here NOW and affects me daily.
