i have many indigenous friends from the prairies that live on the coast and i talk a lot to them about moving back here a lot. they have concerns about rising white supremacy, transphobia, etc here. those fears are legit and it’s fucked up people feel unsafe on their own land.

then i see tweets daily from middle class cis white settlers saying they are fleeing the prairies because of the current political climate. it’s probably your extended family members creating that political climate! imagine existing with so little responsibility to place!

if you want to go, please do, but seeing your complaints all the time about how the prairies are ‘unliveable’ whether you’re talking about politics or the winter is insulting to the ppl whose land you occupy, who have been dealing with your treaty-breaching, unappreciative self.

lol at me using a lot but if you read any of my friends’ poems they’re like THE PRAIRIES THE PRAIRIES THE PRAIRIES so you get the point. we talk about the homelands a lot.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❣️" title="Herz Ausrufezeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Herz Ausrufezeichen">
