sleepy joe you’ve got two months. go crazy. eliminate all student debt. legalize marijuana. make tampons and condoms free. ban cybertrucks. shit in the oval office’s air vent. kidnap barron. the world is your oyster buddy
i don’t expect a billionaire to lead the revolution or anything i’m just confused as to why one would make a movie about standing up for what’s right at any cost only to literally never stand for anything again
It's honestly so weird reading academic articles or books about us, members of the Brothertown Indian Nation, not written by us but by "professors" and "scholars" of Native American Studies. It feels dehumanizing, like we no longer exist or only exist as test subjects.
Rodgers is a classic American type: the iconoclastic conformist. He thinks he’s “fighting the power” by invoking MLK while supporting crackpot anti-vax theories and bar stool demagogues like Joe Rogan. But he’s a just rich dude who rejects civic obligation—we mass produce those.
I'm trying really hard to stop telling my students they need to develop "thick skin" to be a writer because it feels very "capitalist" to me. Capitalism wants us not to have emotions or be vulnerable with our art. I want my students to be open and vulnerable in their writing.
Just because I'm non-binary doesn't mean that I can't speak to womanhood or the "female." Like I still get treated like a female on a daily basis because of how I look and am perceived.
I'm just so sick of ppl (usually older cis-woman) telling me that "because I'm trans/non-binary" I can no longer relate to women or womanhood or speak to either of these things.
Like I know it's a trope that Midwesterners don't like to talk about shit in the past, but this is definitely something we need to talk about (preferably in group therapy lol)
The hardest part of dredging up my family's past is definitely having to reckon with centuries of generational trauma as a result of war, forced labor, forced displacement, internalized anti-Indigenous hatred, and intergenerational childhood mistreatment. Like shit.
