California is burning again. Good time to remind everyone that:
1) These fires are a direct consequence of colonialism & capitalism - the settlers do not know how to steward the land.
2) Imprisoned people shouldn't be forced to fight these fires for absurdly low wages.
I'm always laughing at the audacious hypocrisy of white people in the northern/rural parts of this state preventing housing development under the guise of "protecting the environment."

For the people that care: Dolezal stole the term transracial & bent it to fit her. The term was coined in the 1960s by BLACK & INDIGENOUS adoptees who experienced erasure from being adopted by white people who didn't care about their adopted kids' heritage & culture.
If you do a search "transracial adoptees" you'll find: 1) A lot of recent & not recent articles confirming this isn't a new term;
and 2) Not one transracial adoptee ever took it to mean you "pick your race."
