The true 1621 harvest celebration at Plymouth was not the idyllic, planned First Thanksgiving we are often taught, but rather a complex, three-day event rooted in a fragile political and military alliance between struggling English settlers and powerful Wampanoag Nation.
The Pilgrims held a feast to celebrate their first successful harvest, likely accompanied by a traditional European display of military drills and gunfire. The noise of the guns attracted the Wampanoag leader, Ousamequin (Massasoit), and approximately 90 of his men, who arrived to investigate and were then invited to join.
The Wampanoag, who significantly outnumbered the roughly 50 surviving Pilgrims, contributed by bringing five deer to the gathering, ensuring everyone had enough food. Crucially, the alliance itself was strategic: the Wampanoag sought protection against their rival, the Narragansett, after their own population had been devastated by European plagues, while the Pilgrims needed the Wampanoag's knowledge and protection to survive. The peace was short-lived, with relations deteriorating rapidly over the next generation.

Do people understand how advantageous the Democrats' position is right now? Abortion rights will likely be on the ballot in Arizona and Nevada. Trump is a historically weak candidate - a convicted felon! Keeping Biden as the candidate would be historic, epic malpractice.
Gross how entitled the media is w/ Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis.
The details of the Princess’s health should ONLY be the concern of her doctors, trusted family members, & anti-Semitic conspiracy youtubers.
The end of physical media is depressing. You don’t actually own digital media streaming companies can literally delete it and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Best Buy confirms it's ending sales on physical Media Next Year (in-store and online). But will continue to sell games.
“To state the obvious, the way we watch movies and TV shows is much different today than it was decades ago. Making this change gives us more space and opportunity to bring customers new and innovative tech for them to explore, discover and enjoy.”
I get why ppl find this funny. It is ridiculous, of course, that this woman has to go to such lengths to just eat a friggin ice cream cone. But I see this and I feel such rage for her. I lived that life. I was her. I, too was indoctrinated to think this was all I deserved. To think I wasn’t worthy of anything more. To think I didn’t deserve a normal life of freedom like everyone else. Stop. Stop wasting your life. You know that this is dehumanizing. You know this diminishes you. Stop accepting this for yourself. Despite what your religion says, you are enough. You are a valuable and precious goddess. Love yourself enough to recognize that you’ve been indoctrinated to hate yourself.
