- Description
- The image shows an open journal page. On the left side, there is a photograph of a potato chip omelette on a plate with a floral-patterned background. Below the photo, the words "Potato Chip Omelette" are written in a handwritten style. The right side of the page contains handwritten text discussing the loss of homes, land, families, and bodies, and the hypothetical consequences of a vengeful God on white folks. The handwriting is in cursive and appears to be in a personal, expressive style.

LITTLE QUOTIDIAN JOYS
would be so destructive,
so unimaginable to us
white folks. We would
have to brutally lose
everything — the way
our ancestors risked
indigenous peoples +
people of color of
EVERYTHING — homes,
land, their families,
their bodies.
If God were a
vengeful God. Whoa baby,
White folks would be
for a big whupping. - Rights
