“and I say ‘him’ because let’s be honest: dudes do this. dudes are this stuffy and pretentious” – my late romanticism professor
also:
- “welcome to class! have you thought about your own death yet today?”
- “I brought cupcakes and macaroons, but I want to clarify that I have done it to make a rhetorical point. but also because they’re delicious.”
- “so if you look at the kind of history we talk about, it turns out it’s mostly just white men killing one another and then never shutting up about it.”
- “doesn’t that sound great? decomposing to become one with nature?”
- “more snake women today! keats might have had a fetish.”
- “it’s a horror story, but the horror is capitalistic exploitation. do you know who made the clothes you’re wearing? no? well, keats is disappointed with you.”
- “ rejecting the societal expectation of monogamous romantic marriage and going with polyamory is a-ok. super cool. jazzy.”
I would take a class with this professor.
