AND be constantly on the phone troubleshooting meaningless bullshit for over-privileged, unappreciative assholes.
TRUTH BOMB OF THE CENTURY
I used to imagine this as well. Oh pretty piece of paper on my wall I spent so much money and time to get, what ARE you good for?
I have a Bachelor’s in Mass Communication.
I might as well find a nice abandoned warehouse to squat in right now.
Good luck studying information you’ll never use in the job you won’t have when you graduate.

Unlike the beautiful 6-year old Jonbenett Ramsey who received coverage all over the media - every tabloid, newspaper, news channel, talk show, 7-year old Aiyana Stanley was killed by a police officer during a raid while she was sleep and her murder received very little coverage.
Police, searching for a murder suspect, threw a flash grenade through the window of her family’s apartment around midnight. According to Aiyana’s father, it landed on the couch, setting Aiyana on fire. A police officer’s gun then went off, and shot Aiyana in the neck.
Aiyana was asleep on the living room sofa in her family’s apartment when Detroit police, searching for a homicide suspect, burst in and an officer’s gun went off, fatally striking the girl in the neck, family members said.
Her father, 25-year-old Charles Jones, told The Detroit News he had just gone to bed early Sunday after covering his daughter with her favorite blanket when he heard a flash grenade followed by a gunshot. When he rushed into the living room, he said, police forced him to lie on the ground, with his face in his daughter’s blood.
“I’ll never be the same. That’s my only daughter,” Jones told.
We haven’t forgotten about you baby. R.I.P.
Random things that make me sad because they don’t make any sense.
- Internalized homophobia. “Straight-Acting”, “Masc Only”, etc. We’re already a stigmatized and mistreated group; why would you be so cruel to people who are in the same boat as you?
- Internalized racism. “You give us all a bad name.” “Her name is so ghetto.” “Why are you so bougie?” There is no one way to be ANYTHING, and if you think that certain people who are the same ethnicity as you are disgracing your race, you’re buying into the idea that 1.) whiteness is next to rightness and 2.) other people’s realities aren’t as viable as yours. Neither of those assumptions are true.
- Racism and xenophobia among people of color. It’s an obvious side effect of the white kyriarchy and so disheartening. We should recognize and LOVE our differences, not give in to stereotypes slapped upon us over years of white rule.
- Bi, Trans*, and Asexual erasure and mistreatment within the so-called LGBTQIA “community” and in the media and social consciousness. There is a complete lack of representation for bisexual men in the media and anytime they do come up, they’re played for laughs. Same for trans* characters. I don’t even think many people know or understand what asexuality is.
- Cissexism and Homophobia in differing facets of the feminist movement.
- White supremacy and privilege denying within differing facets of the feminist movement.
- Gender rigidity and unconscious osmosis of the kyriarchy in general within the feminist movement. The idea that certain things are black and white with no gray areas.
(i wish i could put this on a business card and hand it out to people who make rape jokes. the flip side would say FUCK YOU.)
(My cards would be laced with anthrax.)
