Doofus child had some sort of allergic reaction at daycare yesterday that effectively mirrored chicken pox. Red spots all over her face and back. Nothing she ate was anything new though, and she's only allergic to raw eggs (that we know of).

She likes giving a ton of hugs, so I wonder if she somehow is allergic to detergent that another parent uses?

It's mostly gone today, but that shit came on within like 10 mins yesterday per her daycare people.

Yeah, there's a church down the street from me that has a banner out front that says "WE ARE ON CATAWBA LAND" and I'm like "no one gives a fuck." Do you say a prayer for the Catawbas at the beginning of every worship service over there or something ?

I was born in America.

Have we asked people w/actual Native American ancestry how they feel about land acknowledgements? If they give a shit, I give a shit.

Really rich when a church does it. Like remember when we not only settled your land but violently converted you and relegated your religion to history books? Anyway, Sunday services are at 8, 10, and 11:30.

i imagine it's probably somewhat divisive depending on context

but the context is almost always self-serving and incredibly performative imo

Nah. Just don't complain about the land acknowledgements because it isn't for me to begin with.
