In 2013 I decided to leave white people and all their academic labor arguments alone because I had written dozens of essays on just how utterly white they all were. All I got from it was a list of people I got to cuss out should I ever meet them on the street.
And oh god the great quit lit debacle of 2015! Lol I had forgotten
Oh and that white woman who threw a temper tantrum on me and used the word "fee fees" when she did it because I said her argument was white privilege in a Les Mis costume? Gotta cuss her out.
Oh! And how the adjunct crisis has been a strategy acted out on black Studies and AAS since their inception and so revisit your genealogy of the crisis? Gotta cuss all those folks out for crying over that one. Smh
I had to leave plenty of places after telling white people that quitting a job isn't radical if you 1) only quit for yourself and by yourself and 2) only have something to say after you quit.
But now I just leave them alone because by the time I cuss out everyone already on my list I won't have much time for anything else
