Mum: Finding hair-dresser that can do braids shouldn’t have to be hard work … send out plea on yr blog and see what yr fan-dom can find ( :
Me: My fandom which has, as far as I can tell, 0 black people?
Me: (I swear this was unintentional)
Mum: yes, but this would be a treasure hunt … who has black friends? or who can acquire black friends fast enough to help Alison with her braids? ( :
Mum: or at the very least acquire information about black people … …
Mum: You’d be helping them broaden their cultural horizons … .
Me: I am putting this conversation on Tumblr.
Mum: oh yr wicked!
Me: Winner gets to add me to their (probably tiny, but growing!) pool of black friends
Hey, I kind of know (we’re working in the same conspiracy together, never met her IRL though because I’m an internet ghost to a lot of people) like one black person who I think has the relevant kind of hair (and who probably knows where to find someone who can braid… so the upper bound for the distance within a suitable black friend-of-a-friend can be found is less than 9000km! Not very helpful but intersectional feminism is actually really useful sometimes. (now that I think of it I could like seriously try to leverage some connections to find someone who’s actually in the right hemisphere at least…)
