I don’t acknowledge Columbus Day because it’s more of the same; entitled men making unilateral decisions without regard for anything but their own selfishness.
How fitting they’re trying to push a Supreme Court appointment that will once again unilaterally strip me of my right to my own body.
Even my AB 2.0 knows what this day really is all about, good for my son/DIL talking TRUTH.
I agree about the symbolism, but Columbus actually was pretty cool, he went to a lot of trouble to follow his dream, and it did not turn out well. Europeans would have done what they did no matter if Columbus never existed. Christianity and Islam have had terrible effects on the world, but that is not the fault of the Profit or the Christ or Christianity or Islam. What was once considered good often turns out to be bad, but that doesn’t mean it was never good, or even that “good” and “bad” are absolutes.

I have had some very odd/unsettling dreams lately, and waking up at 4am, so get some peaceful rest!
