hmmn. so SO much of what you said resonated with me. actually thats not right. EVERYTHING that you said felt like it had been vomitted straight from my head, my heart, my FUCKING RAGE and onto your blog. i think what I really am grateful for is that I may be a maverick, a radical, what the hell ever but I have found amazing AMAZING radical crazy fools willing to stand strong and firm with me against the white, upper class, male, corporation of a bloody ivy league tower we attend. I don’t think it makes it any easier. I have my share of enemies. But it gave me the validation to know that it is NOT me that is the lunatic at a point when I was beginning to question myself. And all I can say is fuck that! I’m so proud and so happy and I literally get goosebumps when I think about the future and what change is going to be forced into happening and the awesome people that are going to force it.
The fact that you have found community even among the chaos is like the single most important thing in the world. I, too, had a small army to fight with me on that “no matter what happens we will all get through this together” and it made a hell of a difference as far as my sanity was concerned! I can only pray that when I get to the next leg of the journey, I find the same! ROCK ON GURL!
were you planning on becoming a professor?
Yes, among other things! 🙂
