Happy Native American Heritage Month

admittedly, when 'Indigenous People's Day' or 'Native American Heritage Month' come around, i can't help but feel a little angry. millions of my people suffered and died at the hands of this country - and they think one month of remembrance is enough to make up for it?

but as i've gotten older, i've started to feel more appreciative of the fact that i am even here to celebrate these holidays at all. because the truth is, i'm the survivor of a genocide. i think that i should try to celebrate the fact that i am alive today, rather than only being angry about moments in history that i can't change. not everyone is as lucky as me - especially right now, on the other side of the world where such horrendous things are happening all over again to someone else..

but i can't exactly stop the anger completely (especially with current events in mind) so maybe meeting halfway would be acceptable.

I lived, bitch!! they tried to kill us, but i'm still here! and that's worth celebrating.

also, polling places aren’t opening the whole day tomorrow. make sure you know when your polling places close and open.

our electric is on the emergency and the charges cost more than we can afford if we also want to eat for the next couple days

I'm sick of begging but I don't really have any choice

What I will always love about Over the Garden Wall, and what to me really makes it an autumn classic, is how the show presents the season as a transition. People like to say it’s a Halloween show, but it’s really an autumn show, autumn in all its faces.

Early in the show, we have autumn as the late, lingering summer. The fields are full, leaves cling to the branches. The world is painted in a greenish-gold, and it feels warm and rich and good.

And over the course of the show we lose that bit of summer. The colours bleach out. The mists come in. The harvest dances and music are done.

And by the end of the show, we get autumn as the harbinger of the coming season. Summer is long behind us. The long winter is ahead.

And I think it’s so appropriate that the show first premiered in November. When else are we more aware of how much the season has changed than when we are past smiling September and October and find ourselves with grey, patient November, watching the days get shorter and the nights grow longer.
