if you have any money, chip in to black and indigenous folks' mutual aid funds today. pay your reparations now. if there's anything to be grateful for in this colonizer shithole it's because of them.

here's a list of fundraising requests im aware of: terror.black/@sayyid_qishta/11

sorry to my friends in the area but fur today the correct opinion is FUCK chicago. cat bros.

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
