from Facebook:

Jessica S is currently overwhelmed with and slightly disgusted by the reinforcement and restrictions of gender norms, gender expectations, lack of androgyny, and heterosexism that exists so prominently (and unnecessarily) in our lackluster hyper-capitalistic culture.
Ted G I get what you are saying, bet prepare for my global comment, meant lovingly, of course; It sounds like you should live in Alabama or somewhere where you can make real change. It's all perspective. As a heterosexual white male, I'm sick of all the sexism and destruction aimed at my group, so I know how you feel. I'm sure if my white male ancestors were to see the poor treatment they would retrospectively receive, they would have sat back and let this place stay Third World so that there would not be the standard of living we have that allows the luxury of gender studies classes for folks who would otherwise be stuck outside working in the fields of the Tualitin Valley on this overcast Tuesday morning. But they kept going at it until they built for us all of the luxuries of roads and utilities and computers we all take for granted and allow men and women an easy life. When you see an old man that doesn't 'get you', stop and thank him for his contribution. [emphasis mine]

I can't tell whether or not he's kidding.

sdkgnlsd. I actually really want to buy this, I NEED TO BE RICH YOU GUYS :[


also! new goal: I want to memorize one new poem every month for the rest of this year. individual poems have yet to be decided, but I definitely want to try and do Sweeney Among The Nightingales, Jabberwocky, The Myth of Innocence, and at least one Shakespearean sonnet. I'm probably going to start with the Glück poem, since I memorized it last year for my English poem presentation; it should be easier that way. if I can, I'm going to try and do twelve total poems, but given that I've missed two months already, I'm setting my goal at ten.

talkin trash under your breath
