  6. CW: shitpost + serious reminder

    "Fuck Columbus" is necrophilia.

    No, but seriously, please stop using language of sexualized violence to voice condemnation against people. We should be better than that.

  8. Patrick Wyman on how Columbus was kind of mid, actually

    hooks a little too hard into sports analogies for my taste but some of the intro stuff's good

    "pluck a sea-captain off the deck of a caravel or carrack in Lisbon or Seville or Genoa in 1490 or so, we would probably find him to be much like Columbus in most respects...His ideas about commercial profits, the use of violence in acquiring those profits, and the potential of enslavement to meet that goal were likewise pretty standard"

  10. Columbus didn't "discover America", people were already living there and he only passed briefly along the coasts of South and Central America cromwell-intl.com/travel/usa/e #history #ColumbusDay #IndigenousPeoplesDay

  16. Controversy of the day: 2nd Monday in October is #ColumbusDay: Oct 12, 1492, Columbus landed in the Americas, but didn't "discover" it. It was already populated for 25,000+ years. That event brought written #history to the Americas, which written history considers significant. Some regions recognize #IndigenousPeoplesDay today, marking the upheaval brought to the native peoples. Today, none of us are ones who caused that. All of us can do a part to show respect and move forward together. #TDIH

  18. Things might have been different in America if Columbus had just admitted he was lost and asked for directions instead of claiming he'd found the way to India.

  20. Arguing to my groupchat that we should replace Columbus Day with Fiorello La Guardia Day. The closest before next year New York ever got to electing a straight up socialist even though he was technically a Republican, probably the only true great Mayor and master reformer our largest city ever had and one of the greatest Italian-American politicians ever.

  27. I don't know how people can still celebrate #ColumbusDay after Christopher Columbus put Donald Trump in Home Alone 2.
