What would you do if

You signed up for a political theory class because you thought someone rad was going to teach it, and specifically focus on things you are interested in, like feminism, critical race theory, and queers.

Now, let’s say they changed the professor and it’s now taught by this white dude. This white dude who replaced the critical race theory with one James Baldwin essay (that you’ve already read and besides you are taking a course on him this semester anyway) and stuff white people have to say about race, pushed the week on feminism and punk to the end of the semester and replaced it with chapter 1 of “Feminist Theory: from Margin to Center” (which you have read many times, bless your heart) and Betty fucking Friedan, and replaced the queer theory with, um, nothing so unless that one introductory Foucault reading counts (and yes there is only one Foucault reading in a class with POWER in the title) the class will be pretty heteroboring. Also, there are mad smug white dudes, and you kind of just want to stay in the class so you can be mean to them.

Now let’s say there’s this other class, called Reading Feminist and Queer Texts. It sounds great, you’ve met the professor, and you’d take it in a heartbeat IF IT WASN’T AT 8AM IN THE DAMN MORNING.

What would, uh, “you” do?

I am majoring in being unemployed and living in my parents' house. I'm hoping once I'm a big kid and I look down to the ground it'll seem further away.
