so anyway, if you celebrate today, understand that they lied to you about your own culture, and celebrate by getting together and eating good food and watching football, and fuck the racists and the colonizers

wikipedia claims that thanksgiving was originally just a time for folks in New England to get together, eat good food, and watch football, and which wasn’t Christmas (because they were Christian but not the kind of Christian that fucked with Christmas)

and it only became strongly associated with colonialism as part of the late-ninteenth and twentieth century nationalist project, because having a holiday about colonialism made it easier to teach people a nationalist perspective on it, especially children and immigrants who lacked a lot of the historical context for what was going on

and thus was invented the thanksgiving pageant thru which its primary colonial myths were perpetuated

Mutual Aid Request!

My girlfriend is a struggling artisan in BC working multiple part time jobs but struggling to make ends meet due to rising costs, insufficient wages, long covid, and disordered sleep. A postal strike is also affecting many small businesses like hers at this time of year, which they normally rely on to get them through the next few months. Anything to help keep her fed and housed so she can keep working and get through this slump would be so greatly appreciated.

Linked below are my PayPal and CashApp; asking for mutual aid was my idea, and we decided it would be easier for me to be a go-between to keep her bookkeeping as tidy as possible.

I love photos like this. There’s nothing unusual going on, someone just saw him and said “Oh he’s so HANDSOME. I have to take picture.” From my collection, 1959.

Mother and Son, 1954. ❤️ https://christchurchartgallery.org.nz/collection/7226/eileen-mayo/mother-and-son

as always i hate to do this, but our family has been hit by a bunch of major expenses in a row and is still without a car, which means over $100 in ubers every day for the main moneymaker to go to their job (there is Zero public transit here)

it's taking forever for my paycheck to come in due to various shenanigans (such as cashapp closing my account without notice when i tried to update my legal name) and even then it's not even close to enough to deal with everything, especially with medical expenses coming in due to insurance dragging their feet, and we need some liquid assets to do a down payment

basically all of my money has gone to government filing fees and food

please pitch in if you can? i hope i can stop making these posts sooooon
