why i don't celebrate thanksgiving

so tomorrow is that day...the day when mythological happy pilgrims sat down w/ mythological happy native americans and had some mythological happy-meal of abundance and sharing.
ugh.
a group called the united american indians of new england will hold their 39th day of mourning tomorrow at coles hill plymouth, MA (plymouth rock).you can read all about it right HERE.

and while getting together w/ family to eat a bunch of food might be harmless enough, the least we can do is not perpetuate the gigantic lie that europeans peacefully occupied this mostly empty continent with the full blessing of the few native folks that just happen to be here.
debunk the myth people.
