>picks up a book

>get stopped and told it's a feminist retelling of a classic

>ask if it's actually feminist or just misogynistic in a modern way

>they don't get it

>ask if it remains faithful to the themes of the source material while also deconstructing it's misogyny, or if it just updates the kind of misogyny from classical to modern

>"haha its a feminist retelling"

>look inside

>misogyny

i really wanna know which marketing clown convinced so many companies that their employees need to be constantly trying to talk to customers because 90% of the time it just makes me feel like a trapped animal. if i walk into a store and someone approaches me like "HI CAN I HELP YOU" i am gonna say no thanks and probably awkwardly leave without buying anything. the fixed smiles on your cashiers make me feel bad for them. i surely cannot be alone in this. you are losing customers. good job idiots.

I wish I had the setup and the spoons to start doing those long deep dive YouTube video essays. There are so many moments in American history I would love to discuss.

byjove

non-exhaustive list of things I’d love to make videos on:

The history of county-run poor farms/poorhouses in rural America.

The consequences of Bacon's Rebellion.

The ideology of Puritanism and its impact on its followers.

The Temperance Movement.

The early history and ideology of the eugenics movement in the U.S.

Lost Cause rhetoric in the south and the neo-confederate organization that continue to perpetuate it.

The Pueblo Revolt of 1680.

The first iteration of the Ku Klux Klan and its suppression.

A brief history of Santa Fe de Nuevo México.

United States Colored Troops in the Civil War.

Black politicians, community leaders and society in the Reconstruction Era South before Jim Crow laws began to tighten.

History of gay and transgender people in colonial and early America.

Have you considered making a podcast

I think there are too many white men in their 20s with podcasts and I wouldn’t want to contribute to the white guy in his 20s with a podcast epidemic.

I think it sucks that you have to go to so many different kinds of doctor to take care of yourself. It's the 21st century. I should be able to go to a single office where they scan me with a big xerox machine and tell me what I'm allergic to and why my tummy hurts and if I have any cancer or cavities or if my glasses prescription has changed. And then I should get a sticker.
