@matrix what's the curriculum for an environmentalism minor?
When i was in school i took every writing class i could find and signed up for nature writing. I thought it would be like walt whitman or ernest hemingway stuff, learning how to describe natural environments in a more lyrical way than "ay tone lookit dese fuckin trees" but boy was i wrong. It was all about memorizing and regurgitating Greta Thunberg-esque "The world is going to end in 10 years and it is all your fault, suburbanites" and "tongue-kiss a spotted owl".
One day the mongs were planning some kind of a rally and they were going to make endangered species costumes and run around shouting like fucked-up proto-furries, and the shitshow was going to be covered by a major network so they were hoping to get on national news. So i piped up and said, why not just wear a suit and make your case calmly, because while the sideshow might play well here in California, they're just gonna laugh and ignore you in the midwest. And i guess telling a bunch of hippies to take a shower and put on some nice clothes was the wrong thing to say because they were FUCKING PISSED and even the professor was getting argumentative with me because he was a tree-hugging taint-licking fag afaik. Anyway they did their fucked-up hippie furcon as planned and they didn't get on the national news the end.
