Apparently, I'm not Black.

That hurts.

I'm not being literal, of course. I know I am Black. I am treated as Black by the world. I could tell people that I am 100% African, and they would believe me.

But there is a portion of the Black community who holds that mixed-race people are not truly Black, and they often go unchallenged.

That is the source of the pain.

The Black community was the last thing I had.

Seriously.

I hardly associate with anything else about myself at this point.

I don't care that much about any queer communities anymore.

A sense of connection with communities around my views, such as veganism, Marxism, and atheism seemed to diminish more and more.

My interests? I love metal and writing music, but even that is a community I cannot care about.

But my Blackness? It was all I had, and now I do not even know if I have the community anymore.

I'm in tears.

I am stranded. I called 988, even, just to have someone to talk to, and what I get is some clueless white lady.

This hurts because, if I do not have Black people, I have no one.

I think I am alone.

That plate got messy!

Tofu:

• 1 block of tofu (firm, extra-firm, or super-firm)
• 2 tbsp of neutral oil (I used vegetable oil)
• 1 tbsp of cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp of onion powder
• 1/2 tsp of paprika
• 3/4 tsp of poultry seasoning
• 1/4 tsp of salt
• 1 tbsp of teriyaki sauce (I used a store-bought thin teriyaki marinade, but regular soy sauce or tamari works fine, too)

Sauce:

• 1/4 cup of hot sauce
• 3 tbsp of agave
• 1 tbsp of neutral oil
• 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions:

1. Press the tofu if you are not using super-firm tofu. If you do not have a tofu press, wrap the block in a clean towel and stack on top a pan with some cans inside for about 30 minutes. After that, cut it into whatever shape you want.
2. Coat the tofu in the neutral oil and gently toss it. After that, put all the seasonings and toss it again. After that, I put the tbsp of teriyaki sauce and did one more toss until it was nice and evenly coat.
3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and air fry anywhere from 12 to 16 minutes (depending on how crispy you want it). I did 16 minutes, and make sure you flip halfway through!
4. The sauce I prepared by mixing everything together and then microwaving. I heated it up for 40 seconds and stirred halfway through at 20 seconds, and then I stirred again after it was done microwaving. After that I put the tofu in the same container and tossed it to coat. Even after coating, I had some residual sauce that I used for dipping. You can either pour that leftover sauce over the tofu once you transfer it to a plate or dip like I did!
5. Enjoy!

The clip of Curtis Sliwa saying "glazing" got me trippin'
