in the US we only have 3 genders. american beauty, american psycho, and american pie
I hate that as Indigenous people, we have to slowly explain the concept of LandBack to basically every colonizer.
Like no we're not going to just throw you out, or put you in camps, or any of that shit. We just want to be able to take care of our ancestral land and be the ones in charge of protecting it.
Like I know these people were raised with a colonial mindset but after a while I just start to lose sympathy.
Like oh you're worried about having your home violently ripped out from under you?? What a fucking tragedy.
I wasn't gonna add to this, but like, no, I wanna add to this.
What will change for you, Whitey McWhiterson, if LandBack takes place?
Not a whole fucking lot.
You might be incentivized to switch to less-polluting modes of transportation, such as biking. Gas might be discouraged.
The environment might be prioritized.
You might become a citizen of, say, Mi'kma'ki instead of the USA.
Your kids might be taught an Indigenous language in schools.
History class would be a lot more up front.
But your day to day life? Very little will change. You're not gonna be kicked out if your house. You're not gonna be rounded up and put into a camp. You might be required to have the minimum basic decency towards the environment. It will be the Sovreign Peoples running the show.
But you, Joe Shmoe, will be left alone to live your life.
Which is more than we can say your people did for us.
Fuck Yes. Grew up next to the Seneca Nation and never understood why this concept was hard for people to understand except colonialism fucks up your brain so bad you can't conceptualize anything like this that DOESN'T involve literally destroying the other culture/peoples. Same way a lot of scared white people are worried black people will get violent or aggressive with them because they know how their ancestors (or, often, they themselves) have treated black people in the past and they're worried about fucking retribution.
I like art that depicts women not posing seductively or gracefully but simply existing as human beings.
Oh, of all people to use that phrase for....
My dad told me a Queen Elizabeth x 9/11 combo joke but idk if it works in English
It goes something like this
Q: Why can’t Americans play chess against the British anymore?
A: Because the British are missing the queen and the Americans are missing two towers (rooks).
To whoever unfollowed me for this: I didn’t even come up with the joke myself, you should unfollow my dad instead.
all power to them but also may I suggest in the meantime sending your shit via USPS, which has had unions for a long long time, in case you were wondering why your republican uncle has been shit-talking it your whole life
percy already has the necklace with no beads in the teaser and now i can’t stop thinking about how we’re going to see him grow up and get all the beads and make friends and create a home and a family in that camp and i can’t stop crying

Okay but PLEASE

putting “lying to kids is ok” on the table immediately looks bad. but theres nuance. because kids deserve to have as much context and respect as anyone else you live with. but also. telling them that leaving doors open will make ants carry away the entire house is necessary until their brains can quantify the heating&air bill
