I 100% mean to be that person but let’s remember who Christopher Columbus’ expoditions explicitly hurt: The Taíno, and the other nations of the Caribbean.
We are all allowed to be unified in our hatred for the colonizers who hurt us on Indigenous’ Peoples Day, but this man hurt them first and foremost, and we need to have respect for the nations that persist in secret 500 years later.
A strong indigenous person PihĂȘsiw is asking for help to cover disability expenses so they can live comfortably without pain everyday! They put in so much labour into the native community. They need help for the expenses of a wheelchair and a service dog! Since indian affairs and Canadian healthcare can be awful to Indigenous people especially if they have a disbillty.
Lets help PihĂȘsiw get a wheelchair and service dog!!!!!!
this is their story (they/them pronouns)
âï»żSince the age of 5 I have been disabled. During my second heart surgery I had what they call a spinal chord infarction, essentially a stroke in the spine. At first I was told I would never walk again, but fortunately regained some feeling and usage of my legs. I spent the next 9 years in and out of rehabilitation, physio therapy and multiple surgeries. As I get older I get weaker, I deal with chronic muscular and skeletal pain, nerve pain and partial paralysis. I use a cane but lately have been needing something for more me to live a more comfortable life to continue to be independent so I am fundraising money for a wheelchair. Unfortunately FNIHB will not cover wheelchair costs until I get an assessment done by a OT but due to COVID-19 that could be months. I am also in the process of getting a mobility service dog, a well trained service dog costs up to 30,000$. A mobility service dog assist in many tasks, a few to name would be stabilizing and bracing, alerting bystanders if I have fallen, bringing my wheelchair to me if I am unable and many other tasks. All proceeds will be going to a light weight active wheelchair, installation of medical equipment for me to easily and safely access my home and a service dog.  (shower aid installations, etc) so I continue living my everyday life comfortably.  I deeply appreciate the community support to helping me fulfill my financial goal.â

Imagine someone shoots you, very likely tried to kill you and after that trauma you expect sympathy and maybe an outpouring of support but instead your trauma becomes a meme and everyone is laughing at your pain.
And this is truly the burden of black women. The world tears us down to nothing so we build up these hard exteriors to protect ourselves (which usually manifests as what appears to be unwavering confidence) and are praised for our âstrengthâ but really for how much abuse we can take. And the result of that is people feeling free to treat us any kind of way without remorse because weâre expected to handle everything better than other women. Weâre rarely seen as victims, sympathetic characters, vulnerable, and deserving of affection.
