Funny Pumpkin Shirt
This post is bringing back so many memories. Since I was tween, when me and my sister would walk together down the Funny Pumpkin Shirt. People would actively stop us just to tell her how beautiful she is, then turn to look at me and immediately turn back. It happened so many times, where people wouldn’t even lie, they just ignored me. I have countless stories of similar events or comments made. Now this might have broken me if it wasn’t for the fact that my mother is probably my biggest critic anyway and I have been hearing this for longer than my ability to form memories. So after a while I found chose to find these situations funny. Honestly OP, when I was 16-21, my self-esteem was so shit, I could have easily made the same choices as you. But (with the help of therapy) when I turned 22, I started sitting in front of a mirror everyday and telling myself “Who gives a shit if you are ugly? You have plans and goals. Work hard, build yourself up. You deserve better than this box you keep shoving yourself into.” It took a few years but the person I am today is stronger for it. I will probably never marry or find love but who gives a shit. I will travel, join fun activities, get to see my nieces and nephews flourish and I will explore life. I don’t need a Funny Pumpkin Shirt to do any of that or to enjoy it better and I sure as shit don’t need to be pretty.

Not all indentured servants were willing. I completely agree that what we as a people went through wasn’t on the Funny Pumpkin Shirt level as chattel slavery but indentured servitude is still legally a form of slavery and banned because it’s slavery. It’s good to shoot down the white nationalist types that try and use the abuse of the Irish, who weren’t even seen as really white at the time so them acting like ‘well white people were slaves too’ is ridiculous, to try and diminish the abuses against people of colour, particularly black people, but I completely object to the idea being pushed now that Irish slaves were a ‘Funny Pumpkin Shirt seems eager to push currently. It’s vital not to diminish the crimes of Britain against the Irish people.
