It's time for that highly depressive talk I did not want to have...
We have to talk about Caitlin R. Kiernan. A Thread.
Who is Caitlin R. Kiernan? She's an Irish-born writer of horror and weird fiction who doubles as a paleontologist. Several years back, I reviewed one of her works, "The Red Tree." It was a novel I really enjoyed.
...I saw a very weird retweet from someone I did not expect, and it's making me freak out a little.
I love playing the game, "Did a white person you follow hate retweet this racist take, was it a mistake, or are they going down a really terrible path? Tune in to find out!"

I genuinely hate the argument, "You CHOSE to go to college. Taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for YOUR choice."
Like it was ever a choice?
For children of my generation, we were not given a choice to go to college. College was a requirement. College was sold to us as the ONLY way to get a good life.

Okay, white liberals.
I'm gonna need you to stop claiming Democrats haven't "learned their lesson."
Okay? Hard as it is to believe, they aren't still promoting anti-abortion candidates and ignoring every solution out of pure ignorance.
They do it for money.
Maybe you haven't paid attention, but the higher-ups of capital have been sounding the alarm about "decreasing birth rates" for YEARS now.
They want more workers born without paying for the actual cost of childcare. They want their cake and to eat it, too.
I was once enrolled in an independent fundamentalist baptist school due to it being the "cheapest" private school my parents could afford.
A result of a mass disinvestment from Florida's public school system.
That school, Westwood, has official ties to Bob Jones University, the infamous unaccredited college that held onto a ban against interracial dating till 2006.
This school also had a majority of Latine brown students.

People rightfully throw shade at Fox News calling Latin American nations "Mexican countries," but, listen, I grew up being taught by people who said shit like that to a majority Latin student population. And it was legal. #ExposeChristianSchools
Let me tell a story: one time, my guidance counselor was teaching, and the topic turned to immigration. We students liked getting our bigoted or opinionated teachers off on rants to distract from boring lesson plans. It was really easy to get them going.
