YOU ARE A WIZARD

Our Minerva, and

This first thing I thought when I woke up from surgery was I am so hungry and I need ramen right now! but the second thing I thought was Oh my god, I'm safe.

I was safe.

I thought about having kids someday, but the thought was always divorced from the concept of having to grow them in my body. Whenever I thought about it, I would either start screaming or my mind would shut down. My worst nightmares featured discovering I was pregnant, and realizing I would have to keep it, and go through childbirth. I was terrified.

I got the surgery, and realized I was safe, and I never had those nightmares ever again. It was like finding out I was bulletproof.

Later, I looked at the broken condom, and I didn't see my life flash before my eyes. I didn't see my hopes and dreams turn to ash as I pivoted all my energy into a child I didn't want. I didn't see a possibility of starvation or homelessness because my already modest income went to a child I couldn't afford. I didn't see my disabled body becoming further disabled, or killed, by a pregnancy that I didn't want.

“I know that I didn’t say very much, so what exactly did you say to them?” 

“I said that you were African American women, I needed to explain what that meant. You see, many of the people in the audience are […] the ones who had been stolen away. They were chanting at you, ‘Welcome home.’

Like no we're not going to just throw you out, or put you in camps, or any of that shit. We just want to be able to take care of our ancestral land and be the ones in charge of protecting it.

Like I know these people were raised with a colonial mindset but after a while I just start to lose sympathy.

What will change for you, Whitey McWhiterson, if LandBack takes place?

Not a whole fucking lot.

You might be incentivized to switch to less-polluting modes of transportation, such as biking. Gas might be discouraged.

The environment might be prioritized.

You might become a citizen of, say, Mi'kma'ki instead of the USA.

Your kids might be taught an Indigenous language in schools.

History class would be a lot more up front.

But your day to day life? Very little will change. You're not gonna be kicked out if your house. You're not gonna be rounded up and put into a camp. You might be required to have the minimum basic decency towards the environment. It will be the Sovreign Peoples running the show.

But you, Joe Shmoe, will be left alone to live your life.

Yeah you've got a really good point here. The colonizer mindset is poisonous. Poor people of all non-Native races and classes - have absorbed the idea of Land Back as a threat through cultural osmosis.

And I won't deny there are those of us who are angry. I'M angry. Some days I'm so furious about the injustices still being done and people blaming us for our own genocide that it's all I can do to keep moving. There are those of us who would wish the comeuppance upon those who have oppressed us for generations - who would want them gone. Honestly? I can't blame them. That anger and resentment is fully justified and valid.

But we, mostly, know how it felt. We know that a lot of modern people also aren't here by choice. We have enough empathy to understand that pain and not want it to be inflicted on others, even if the thought of eye for an eye might give us temporary catharsis, even if people as individuals still treat us like shit to this day.

Our cultures are built on empathy and understanding, for better or worse.

They were deemed expendable over Covid. They die in heatwaves. They die because ambulances take 14 hours to get to them when they have falls. They die in the cold. They starve. There’s a cost of living crisis, this country is a hellscape, and one old fucker with blood on her hands is going to fuck us all over one more time from her coffin while other old people -

die.
