Random and inconsistent snippets from an unstructured mind. My truth may not be your truth. A fact is a fact only by standing on it.
It can't fall down, there is nothing holding it up...
Except some sort of capitalist exploitation. The writer is a 3rd generation Indigenous Australian. Not, i might add, Aboriginal - two different concepts.

Indiginies Indigent. or indigenous
Will put my hand up for both.. but cannot claim aboriginal heritage.
I claimed it for sentimental reasons on the most recent UK census. We had to say what our ethnic background was from a list of choices and it struck me as daft so I put "other" with a little elaboration. If you go back far enough you don't know what you might find.
Um, have only been able, at this point, to trace back 14 generations .. and it's Lincolnshire, mostly.. with quite a lot of Scots, and probably some Scandinavian. My deep interest in Aboriginal affairs is purely philosophicaly indiginous. (and I misspelt "indiginies" .. I really meant "indigent" .. heh.
