I spent half my life being told critical thinking skills were essential and then the country turned on a dime and said "no, not like that" as soon as we started talking about the material realities of bigotry and oppression.

Now it's, "We can't let white kids think about racism because they'll get the sads."

@gwynnion we’re all like court jesters! Paid by the lords to make fun of them, making them relatable. So we gorge at the party instead of revolting.

But still, I’m glad that artists are getting paid at all!
