hey fuck the 4th of july I’m now only celebrating the 3rd of july which is emancipation day in the now-US Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. John, & St. Croix) celebrating when in 1848 my ancestors started burning the plantations and shops and everything bc the Danish monarchy told them they were going to be freed gradually over a couple of years and the formerly-enslaved people said absolutely not we’re gonna be free NOW
