As pointed out to me by [livejournal.com profile] xcerebraledemax, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE HOMOSEXUAL IS ABOUT.

Also, all the boys are all-American youths who have paper routes and play baseball and basketball after school. Fucking yeah.

Oh, Happy genocide-of-the-Native Americans-that-prompted-a-feast-that-is-now-called-Thanksgiving day. All that shit about Native Americans and Pilgrims getting together out of mutual love and friendship? Never happened. The first "thanksgiving" in Massachusetts Bay Colony was to celebrate the return of Pilgrims who had gone to massacre 700 Native Americans close-by. It's a blood-soaked holiday. Always has been, always will be. Somehow I kept my mouth shut during dinner. I was too busy being a bitch about Gone With The Wind, which is a good movie, but Christ, Rhett Butler is a rapist, everybody is racist, and all the black folk are just gosh-darn tickled to be servin' the white folk.

Anyway, when you sit down for your turkey (which is good, I will admit) and think about all you have to be thankful for (and thanksgiving feasts, harvest feasts, feasts of bounty, are by no means new or patently American, and I fully support thanksgiving feasts in principle), remember those whose suffering the holiday tries to make invisible or dress up with cute little kids' pageants.
