TOMORROW IS CHRISTMAS EVE!!!

This is a day that's absolutely saturated with cultural and generational trauma for us. It's okay to feel anger and grief and confusion today, and it's okay to express that. It doesn't matter that we weren't around to see the events transpire. We're still feeling the trauma in our bones. You aren't being dramatic or overreactive, and you are not alone.

To non-natives, please support us by giving us a space and platform to feel and discuss the pain that is deeply engrained in us surrounding this holiday.

It’s being forced to shop online and spend more money because the store doesnt carry your size

Its “we only sell this tshirt in unisex in your size” [many places only offer “womens” tees large and below]

Its having to buy two plane tickets for one person

Its having medical conditions overlooked because of your weight

It’s having fat people in media only be comic relief or the villain [or not featured at all]

Its people saying to your partner “you’re with *them*?”

It’s being found disgusting for sweating - even when you’re exercising

It’s being considered a fetish

It’s Native American Heritage Day!

Here’s are some things about my people, the Taino:

・The word “Boricua” comes from the word “Boriquen/Boriken” which used to be the name of Puerto Rico until Christopher Columbus changed it. We call ourselves Boricua to remember our past.

・Words you might use everyday came from the Taino such as Barbacoa(Barbecue), and Jurakan(Hurricane)
