the thing is. you can't let anger overtake your heart. it will turn you bitter and helpless, chewing your own tongue till it bleeds while nothing gets done. you have to let your love for the indigenous peoples of turtle island, of aotearoa, of australia, of palestine, to guide you to action, to ignite your heart in hope. justice is possible. many hands make the burden light

#these past few days have been a definite turning point for me #i was never particularly patriotic. i was critical of ''canada'' before #but now i have nothing but disgust and anger towards the nation calling itself ''canada''#i watched a woman cry for her stolen children. her rage and grief were so visceral as she sang to us (the colonizers! the settlers!)#and begged us to fight for her #and i watched the major news outlets' gross miscoverage of the event. focusing on one mention of hamas' hostages instead the numbers #of palestinians dead. the airstrikes on the hospitals. the descendants of holocaust survivors calling it a genocide #(the news called them ''''self identified''' jews. what a slap in the face to someone who lost their father in the holocaust!)#I have to try and turn that disgust and anger for ''canada'' into love and hope for the first peoples of turtle island #and all colonized people #i have to try and fight for them #a.txt
