God it's not just that we lost the presidential race. The consequences of this election are going to be so bad but that's not the worst part.

The worst part is that every fucking conspiracy theorist, maga uncle, stop the steal asshole is going to be. INSUFFERABLE for the next four fucking years.

excerpts from the interview:

The celebration of [European explorer Christopher] Columbus is really harmful. It gives us the idea that Native people were these passive people, just waiting for Columbus to arrive — just waiting to be discovered — when, in fact, they had many, many different cultures and were perfectly successful on their own…It’s the worst kind of settler colonial nonsense. It erases us and presents their version of history as the only true history. So these things are really embedded throughout American culture, and it’s really important to resist that and to call it out.

…

There are people who absolutely resist any truth-telling. They don’t want to hear about the genocide of Indigenous people. They want to have this very pretty George-Washington-and-cherry-pie kind of history that doesn’t tell the truth.

Honestly if Denmark bought the US I wouldn’t be too upset. Maybe now I could have affordable healthcare.

35/50, not bad for a European, eh? (spoilers under the cut)

inspired by the quiz i saw for the countries!

take this quiz to see how many USA states you can name in 10 minutes, because i was curious to see if i still remembered. i got all but blanked on wyoming, maryland, and oklahoma. (and i only got nebraska, missouri, and mississippi in the last 10 seconds. when i blank out i BLANK out.)
