my english lit class genuinely has me feeling like

my english lit class genuinely has me feeling like I’m on another plane of reality from the people around me. today we read essays and the professor spent 10 minutes talking about a political dream she had where, along with dancing with Steve bannon and meeting Obama, she witnessed a Native American man biting a biracial woman’s tongue as part of a “ritual”. she described the woman as “mulatto” twice. half the class ended up staying like an hour late sitting in a circle in the hallway to talk for longer about one student’s paper and when she prompted a student to speak more about her dead ex boyfriend, and the student declined, she prompted again, and when another student said maybe she shouldn’t she said there was “a method to this madness”. she asked everyone if we wanted to hear “the mating call of a psychopath” and then played us a nine year old voicemail from her abusive ex. one student said that she could never understand what another student was saying, and the teacher echoed/amplified the statement, saying that the things student two soar came out of left field and she had to have a third student as a translator. and everyone??? loves her???

she says racist shit constantly (e.g. today’s mess, referring to someone coming into her “Native American talking circle” wearing a Blackhawks shirt as “synchronicity”, correcting the grammar in an edwidge danticat novel) and when people call her on it she brushes it off, e.g. someone advised her that the Blackhawks shirt was an appropriation mascot and she said she wanted to “return to [her] delusional thinking that it was a spiritual symbol of us coming together”, the method to the madness thing

she has a doctorate in psychology and runs the class like a giant group therapy session half the time but she says ableist shit CONSTANTLY e.g. armchair diagnosing public figures, talking about “insanity” and “craziness”, delusions, etc. in very casual, idiomatic, and joking ways. her shit’s outdated too, like she had multiple personality disorder in her coursepack for some reason despite, you know, that not having been a recognized term for like a decade. like. it’s EXTRAVAGANTLY out of touch with… any serious sense of care for the dignity of people with mental illnesses???? seemingly?????

AND EVERYONE FUCKING LOVES HER. everyone’s like, she’s such a cool person, who cares about social justice and encourages critical thinking and being in her class is such a healing experience but she pulls this shit??? constantly,?? and every time? I’ve tried to call her on anything even in the gentlest way possible? she’s accused me of attacking her?????

the second half of this post got deleted, probably because I used a text heart containing a left carer, because, you know, good website. anyway, it strikes me that the original wording makes it sound kind of like I deliberately choose who I’m attracted to, which isn’t really what’s up, it’s more that I deliberately choose which people I’m attracted to to focus on. anyway this is a post about how wentworth miller’s hair is going gray.
