  1. I actually am too food motivated / conflict avoidant to actually go on rant at Thanksgiving. But I got history and colonization.

    “Look, if we’re going to celebrate a “holiday” that both downplays and glorifies violence again Indigenous people, we might as well TALK ABOUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.”

  2. Love this but I’m an anti-Zionist in a family of zionists and trump fans, I already know how I’m crashing out this holiday (although there’s a non zero chance abt me also crashing out re:the big one) (why limit myself)
