Derrick Jensen tonight. There are so many things I want to say. There are so many things I NEED to say. About him. About the world. About the culture. About people in general. About my cat. About the eagle family down the street. About the apple tree I asked for help on my homework and helped me get a decent grade on a paper. About everything. But I'm tired. After the beginning of the 4th hour, the black rings under my eyes grew just a little blacker..
Derrick Jensen is fucking amazing. And no matter what anyone says, I think this man is fucking fantastic.
**He said that of all the 700-800 hate letters he's received in the past 6 or so years, two have been from rightwingers. One was a death threat because of Derrick's affiliation with Ward Churchill. The other was more of a critique. All the rest were from, you guessed it, left wing activists.**
