Make America Learn History Again: Columbus Day

It’s real history, force-fed to the “All American Men” in my inbox

Today we celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day while the right celebrates Columbus Day and mourns the loss of his glory. What are they celebrating? It seems so many don’t know.

If you enjoy reading these, please subscribe to support me. I’m funded by all of you. Subscriptions are only $5 a month and you gain access to bonus posts only my paid subscribers can see.

(As a reminder I do not know these men. They are messaging a satirical Facebook profile of me as a conservative.)

I’m not sure either.

I’m working on updating my posts to be ready to publish in a book. Do you want your name listed in my book as a supporter? My $100 yearly subscribers will all be listed in my book. It takes time to create these, and although I wish I had endless amounts of time to spend on my passions, we all have to make money to survive. If I’m not making money on this, then I need to increase my work outside of this, and that leaves less time for telling history. When you subscribe you’re helping me support my family and helping me get closer to my dream of this being my job again.

You can also subscribe for $5 a month or $50 a year. I appreciate all of you.

As always, I would appreciate you heart reacting this post for me. More engagement means more people might see my work. ♥️
