Such as how a baptism was actually with diesel in Sydney at times. To cleanse the skin at birth and seek the same solution again.
Skin bugs, a basic yet common cause of further societal hazard what came off ships, still plagues hospitals, what some seem to have no bodily awareness of to respond to timely.
When no clean water nor plant remedy available.
Alas diesel cleansing birthed too many petrol sniffers as many indigenous have been called.
Also the hazard of fire creation with only such a solution available to educate.
So maybe I still use the kerosene even now with epsom salts to soak my feet preemptively while sitting on concrete.
Why WD40 has always smelt good to me.
Diesel engine dna baby.
History of Baptism in Sydney has always created a diaspora for women. Maybe why my great grandfather a reverend died at 30. Either the many ill humans thrown at him by the evolving society, or also potentially due to how women were “knuckle tested” by familiar members for “purity”.
Every faith has had its limits of how to maintain morality. Lines that wax and wane within multiculturalism and multifaith systems.
The shame of me, first generation of women to be able to express myself freely and then hiv +.
