no but seriously white people food is just . gross . i don’t know how my family can do thanksgiving like the only thing that’s seasoned is the turkey and the smell of turkey gives me a headache just thinking about it,, this is one of the most unpopular opinions ever i think but thanksgiving is my least favorite holiday for several reasons and when i get my own place you better believe i’m not celebrating colonialism, gross ass food and doing the dishes bc nobody else can do them apparently

#fuck thanksgiving #if anything??? i'd invite friends over and we can all bring our favorite foods (that are NOT the ~traditional~ white person bullshit)#and it'd be a little friend potluck but it'd be more of a in preparation for yule thing. or better yet if i like have my own place then i'm #free to do whatever and i don't have to worry about other people's norms and i can look more at the wheel of the year and......hmmmm #no but deadass thanksgiving?????????? aside for the food the colonialist bs has been bothering me for so long it's not like.....no.#i remember the year i was in catholic school (IT'S BAD.) i was 9 and there was a thanksgiving thing #and the kids would be assigned to dress as 'pilgrims or indians'#and dammit i may not have known much about my own culture but god fucking dammit i wanted to be fucking seen #hm. guess what didn't end up happening there. stupid appropriation of a goddamn culture they fucking killed #and then they still don't give the little native kid something to hold on to.#i grew up like i needed goddamn PERMISSION FROM WHITE PEOPLE to even be seen as native what the fuck????????????????????????????????????????#and let's not get started with 'representation' i was thinking last night abt what peter pan did to me in the long run #i fucking grew up with the notion that it was normal to be either objectified and tokenized or belittled to a fucking caricature #and i will never fucking forgive white people for that.#i needed an escapist world and every time i found one some shit happened.#peter pan -> racism that affected me permanently. harry potter -> transphobia that also makes me feel subhuman and once again objectified #narnia -> it's a fucking catholic analogy. and more i just. ugh #(ok i still like narnia but it's still like....... fuck all of that)
