We just got done with Thanksgiving, and with it comes talk online of the need to “decolonize” the holiday, ditch the turkey, potatoes and get togethers and just make it a normal day. So y’all, it’s time to have a discussion of the tradition of Thanksgiving in the US, because although we aren’t arguing about the history of the holiday, we shouldn’t be throwing the whole tradition away. Join us in this episode for a breakdown of what parts are actually really important to melanated folks and those with marginalized identities, why we CAN’T actually decolonize the holiday, the healing elements to be found here, and what we think we should be doing instead of opting out of the whole thing. We’re exploring: -Something that really irks Trudi and why it’s NOT helpful when you do it -THIS practice that’s the main way you can spot the commodification of social justice -Why the advice to totally opt out of all Thanksgiving traditions is not only not helpful, but harmful (and what to do instead) -The reason that the BLM movement, anti-racism work, and anti-oppression work thrived during the pandemic -How illuminating something and shaming are different and where they’re similar (and why you need to be aware of this fine line!) -The difference between disruption and agitation and why it’s important to understand what these REALLY mean -And more! Grab your spot for the first LIVE That’s Not How That Works workshop in 2 years!
