Among the most hideous & ubiquitous historical fables taught in this country are about the “discovery” of America and the “settling” of North America by pioneers. But there’s even more.

This Indigenous People’s Day,decide to learn.Ned Blackhawk & @rebeccanagle.bsky.social’s works are extraordinary.

It is fascinating how many men
a. know nothing about the WNBA
b. are not interested in the WNBA
c. have immensely strong opinions about the economics of the WNBA

We need to create special WNBA Dunning-Kruger stickers for these men:

"Congratulations! You are a WNBA Dunning-Kruger Effect!"🤣
