Eating pets will be another popular one too.

I am not a troll. This is a serious issue.

You think trolls don't post about serious issues just to rile people up? Can we have a little perspective about what constitutes a serious issue? My three year old dressing up like her hero Pocahontas...it's not that. The VA state legislature trying to police history and what our kids learn? That. That's serious. When you make everything serious nothing is serious.

Years ago I posted asking if my daughter could dress up as Pocahontas and was annihilated on here.

I’m ordinarily pretty lax about this stuff but the Pocahontas stuff sort of creeps me out because she’s an actual person that has been totally co-opted in a way that is kind of weird and uncomfortable for me. I wouldn’t judge you for letting your kid dress as Pocahontas, but I think i noxed it for my own kid because it just makes me thiink of a young girl who was kidnapped as a teen, married an older man under circumstances that probably weren’t totally voluntary, and died of some awful disease when she was only 20, far fell her home and family. And everyone treats her as a happy cartoon. It’s just icky to me. It’s my least favorite disney movie.

This is a different concern. Dressing as Pocahontas is not racist. You are uncomfortable with it because her story is sad, and I think some tribal leaders have expressed that the white mythology around her is so insensitive that dressing like her is hard to do respectfully. But it's different from putting on a wig with feathers and saying you're an Indian.

It would absolutely be racist to dress your child as Pocahontas if she is white.

I met my husband on Halloween. He was dressed as a pregnant nun. Love at first sight?

My European white- East Asian child dressed as Pocahontas one year and it was great fun. I don't care what you think. In Europe and Asia, this is fine to do. In the US, you'll just have to unclench a little. No one said anything, BTW. They were all like: "So cute!". And if they thought "how racist" inside their head... well, that's their problem.

I wanted to go as the two stranded astronauts and carry signs like "Earth or Bust" and carry a copy of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, pretending to hitchhike home. He said "this is a serious situation, that's not funny at all."

I thought it was.

It is. And also a little dark.

It's brilliant! He doesn't deserve you.

I got him a sheet to be a ghost and he was going to drive his tractor around dressed in a white sheet. I thought better if it, though, since we live in a majority black neighborhood.

Come on, people! This may be the last time, God willing, that we can dress as Trump or MAGA, or something about JD Vance.

Go Crazy!
