This is going to be unpopular.

I keep seeing people say they're shocked how anti-Indigenous Australia is, and when I go look at their profiles they all have "leftist" written.

You all need to understand what this means for how your leftism is tied in to white supremacy.

If you're shocked to find out that a colonised country is racist, you haven't been listening.

If your leftist selves haven't been listening to Indigenous people on this Stolen Land, you're leaning into white supremacy.

When you learn about Indian Residential Schools, you're not learning about Indigenous Peoples; you are learning about the church.

Mastodon needs more #Mohawk people posting so the top results aren't photos of hair. I'd guess the search results are similarly muddied for #Apache #Cherokee #Winnebago #Cree and others. They steal our people and our names. They try to erase us.

If you're part of the #TwitterMigration and still getting a feel for what makes #Mastodon different (like me!) here's another reason why it's better not to have the option to #QuoteRetweet.

When we quote retweet on the birdsite, it's usually about adding our own commentary:
🐦 THIS is why this is important to ME...
🐦 MY opinion is more compelling because...
🐦 THAT'S NOTHING! Listen to MY story...

When we quote retweet, we take someone else's post and make it about US. This can get problematic when the original tweet was from from a #bipoc, #indigenous, #LGBTQPlus, or other #marginalized or #vulnerable person.

When we boost a toot, we're using OUR voices and influence to amplify others'. And we're doing so on their terms, not our own. If we feel strongly about the original post, we can always add our own voices to the conversation, but without using our #privilege to talk over people who might need to be heard more than us.

As a little girl, I only ever saw people like me in books about Thanksgiving, written by white people.
This is how my bookstore, Paperbacks & Frybread came to be.
We launched online March of this year, vowing to help families of all kinds have easier access to THEIR stories and other #diverse & inclusive #reads.
It has been the most joy curating our selection and hearing feedback from people who didn’t realize there were #books and #authors with people just like them.

Essay by Sean Sherman

"No matter where you are in North America, you are on indigenous land. ...I urge people to explore a deeper connection to what are called “American” foods by understanding true Native-American histories, and begin using what grows naturally around us, and to support Native-American growers. There is no need to make Thanksgiving about a false past. It is so much better when it celebrates the beauty of the present."

#Indigenous #Thanksgiving

The Thanksgiving Tale We Tell Is a Harmful Lie. As a Native American, I’ve Found a Better Way to Celebrate the Holiday

The story of the pilgrims and the Indians was fabricated to create division instead of unity—so instead, let's focus on what we share: food.

So, I'm asking, as embarrassing as it is that I don't have enough diversity in my network to do it on my own:

Can you amplify this to help us find #francophone, #Black, #indigenous, and #Asian #Canadian people, able and willing to do the hard work of helping a group remember to take diverse needs into account at the offset, so we can make a good #SocialSpace for everyone from the get go?

If that sounds like you, bless you, could you let me know so we can get a conversation started?

Thanks.
