I was going to answer individually but, shockingly, Atlanta fans vocabulary is really limited so they just repeat each other. Here's my response.
Yes I: am fat, have blue bangs, could eat more salads
No I: am not a guy, white, going to fuck myself/die
Oh! And...
For those simply tweeting my profile pic I feel bad that you can't use your words so here's some more for you to choose from so I don't get bored. Again.
Thanks for the chance to look at some really great memories!
There you go.
And one last thing.
When you come for me you have to come correct. You haven't been so quit wasting my time and my battery.

When the federal Indian boarding "schools" (reeducation camps) closed the land was supposed to revert back to the Native Nations it came from.*
The catholic church currently illegally occupies 10,000 acres of stolen land on which they held prisoner
#landback
and abused our young Native relatives. Between the church and the catholic bureau of Indian missions they were responsible for 67 reeducation camps in the so called united states.
In June the u.s. catholic bishops apologized for their role in the reeducation camps.
As catholics who confess their sins they should understand that apologies are not enough. As part of the sacrament of reconciliation confession is not complete without penance. Penance on their part should start with #LandBack.
Today is the anniversary of the largest mass shooting in American history, Wounded Knee, a massacre on December 29, 1890 that has been relegated to history as a "battle". 🧵
The Wounded Knee massacre saw 250-300 disarmed Lakota slaughtered. Half that number were women and children.
A father found his wife dead, shot through the breast that still had their 22 day old baby suckling it, filling the child's mouth with blood rather than mother's milk. The baby died a few days later.
Today is the 160th anniversary of the largest mass execution in u.s. history, carried out on the orders of The Great Emancipator, abraham lincoln.
In 1862 Minnesota was considered the new frontier. White settlers had been pushing Dakota Indians further west, making false promises of peace and breaking treaties amongst both groups. The u.s. promised to deliver food and supplies to the Dakota
as partial payment for their giving up their lands to whites. Corralled into reservations and limited to their traditional ways of hunting, the Dakota were being starved purposely.
Why then is Jackie still talking about the blood quantum of an enrollee in order to invalidate their Indigeneity?
To enroll in Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma in most cases one has to be a lineal descendant of an ancestor listed on the Dawes Final Rolls of Citizens and Freedman of the Five Civilized Tribes.
andrew jackson signed the Indian removal act today in 1830. You may remember it from not being covered in your history class, or as the thing that happened so "oklahoma" can celebrate Land Run Day, or
as that time that gave you a great, great grandma who was maybe an Indian princess probably and also gives you have permission to wear headdresses at music festivals.
It was really just the crowning effort of extermination from the architect of Native genocide who is celebrated on your $20 bill even though it cost so very many their families and their lives as the the largest genocide in US history, a genocide that continues today.
