I wrote about it in a newsletter a few weeks ago, but didn't fully explain the issue. I also won't do that here, but November consisted of:
Feeling bad about myself because I look white but also don't look white, and I never know where to fit in or what to call myself.
I started to use threads (instagram's version of twitter) a bit more and then stirred shit up on threads by having an opinion about thanksgiving's existence and my own racial identity.
I think of kids growing up in group homes who either don't receive a single gift or have to pick from a pile of crap repurposed as charity. I think of poor families who cannot afford to buy their kids anything and try desperately to make the memories anyway.
