Still Pretty Eh

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

i am not going to die on this hill i am going to kill on it and win. i cannot fucking stand all this bullshit discourse that one way or another tries to make a list of who is an actual reader and who is a fake reader, or who is a better reader or a more real reader. that only discourages people who might want to pick the hobby up. “if you only read certain stuff you are not an actual reader” but if you read “too much” you are faking it, and this thing is actually better than that one. noooo if you are struggling with your time and still manage to squeeze in a lighthearted read that is so good bc guess what? you are reading. okay i'll stop ranting. for now. cris speaks. bookblr. booklr.
