You may or may not be familiar with (former?) Wellesley professor Peggy McIntosh's article "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack."
If you are not, go read it, right now. It's very good, and this will make a bit more sense.

I did not read it, but I bookmarked it so I can check it out later. Jim Shepard's book is keeping me pretty occupied, though if the Chuck Palahniuk book I ordered comes in tomorrow than fuck it. Fuck it allllllll.

Which Palahniuk book? I don't know Jim Shepard.
And why won't my damn lj-cut work?

[prettyvacunt]

Are there italics included in the cut? That could be interfering. If it's not that, I have no idea what really. It looks spiffy to me.

I ordered Fugitives and Refugees: A Walk in Portland. Also ordered Don DeLillo's The Body Artist, but Chuck's coming first. As for Jim Shepard, I saw the name on a friend's interests and did some research. I'm reading his collection of short stories called "Love and Hydrogen". So far, I am impressed.

Keep in mind, I agree with a lot of this stuff, a lot of the reason the bullcrap on this list pisses me off is that it illegitimizes the rest of it. Also, bullcrap pisses me off

You make me think. That's why I love you.
