“In 1621 there was no Thanksgiving. It was gunfire, drinking, partying."
“We knew these people were not to be trusted. They came, they killed, they stole land, they enslaved people.”

“Freedom from Safety”

I was inspired by The Disabled Ginger’s post of Violet Affleck (masked) working with her parents (unmasked) to serve thanksgiving, while wearing other public health precautions (hair nets). This one goes out to all the single maskers in your family, community, life. You’re not alone, even if it feels that way.

TBH I don’t love how this turned out, but my skill is a lot more in nature and semi-abstract than realism, so I hope it gets the point across.

Happy #Thanksgiving from #DCG201!

We originally planned to have a meeting featuring #indigenous peoples in #STEM but plans fell through, we'll revisit in 2023. Instead we urge #hackers to donate to #truthsgiving:

*Truthsgiving*

Frail colonizers landed
With ailments and greedy minds
Taught to farm for nourishment
Taught to cultivate the land
Cured from scurvy and malnutrition
By empathetic hearts

Autumn harvest soon upon them
Thankful for their plentiful land
Kindly introduced pilgrim migrants
To the bounty Earth provides
Not foreseeing the betrayal
The white devils had in mind
-lcsn_musings-

For those celebrating #NationalDayofMourning today, remember to acknowledge and reflect on the bloodshed the pilgrims brought upon this land.

#Truthsgiving, is a concept coined by Indigenous activist Christine Nobiss to dismantle common misunderstandings about #Thanksgiving

The First Thanksgiving: Separating Myth From Fact

On the 400th anniversary of the landing at Plymouth Rock, it’s worth remembering the true story of the first Thanksgiving and all the Native lives lost at the hands of English settlers.

Spent today in a UN workshop on access to remedy for corporate human rights abuses. I am thankful to do this work, but thought about the people not represented in the room -- and the people for whom Thanksgiving is a memorial to genocide. #Truthsgiving
