Ramblings about my writing and current mental state under the cut because nobody cares.

Oh, dear, I’m so sorry that I haven’t been able to get you the HUNDRED FUCKING DOLLARS you need for me to be in your ~~~fancy honors society~~~ but see there’s this thing called MY PARENTS DON’T PAY FOR MY SHIT and pay day is tomorrow, so you can chill your ass until then.
Jesus fucking CHRIST.

But right now I have to pack and everything is the worst because packing is the worst.

Yo, ya’ll.
So, I might have blabbered about this somewhere, but I’ve been a) super busy and b) super sick for a while, but, uh… I’m in New York City right now? I got here a few days ago, and I’ll be here for the next three months interning at somewhere (you know. Eventually. sigh.) and doing an arts immersion thingy through the college.

I am fueled pretty much exclusively by pain, anti-Zionism, and caffeine right now.
I really don’t think I’m answer the question.
I really don’t care.
Bring. It. On.

It totally answers the question using specific examples that I can write about for pretty much forever, which makes it super easy, so WHATEVER I DO WHAT I WANT.
But because this is an anthropology paper, it also means I had to make two paragraphs basically saying I AM EXTREMELY BIASED BUT LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY AND WHY MY BIAS IS TOTALLY RELEVENT, THE END.
Reasons why I am a historian: see above.

So either I get to take more of the good shit and not get anything done tonight, or, now that it’s worn off and I’ve pinched a nerve in my neck, take Aleve and drink and do my best to get shit written.
I can’t think with the good shit; with a bit of whiskey in my system to smooth out the “oh, fuck, ow” response and some Aleve, I might get some work done. It will also hurt a lot more.
This is the actual worst. I have not been in this much pain since I was dropped and fallen upon last year, around this time.
I hate everything, is the moral of the story here.

- Introduction: What policies did the Četniks and the Partisans adopt towards the national question and how important were those to the outcome of the war?
- Thesis: The popular success of the Partisans was largely due to to their idea of a pan-Yugoslav brotherhood, where no ethnicity was dominant and no BODY CARES OH MY GOD SERB DOMINANCE WAS NOT GOING TO FUCKING WORK AND THERE WAS ALSO COMMUNISM WOOHOO ETC.
- Without clear leadership and an organized movement, the Četniks were doomed to never agree on any ideas on the national question or about anything ever, so they basically just sat around wanting things to go back to how they were, which wasn’t going to work, because nobody liked what was happening before the war anyway
- Because dictatorship and failed everything
- Also occupation clearly illustrates how the government didn’t work at all
Clearly this is going well.

First of all: Really?
Secondly: No, seriously. Really?
Thirdly: Jew-ish does not mean Jewish.
Fourthly: Jew-ish does not mean pro-Israel.
Finally: Zionism is and always was a terrible, terrible idea.
They also thought that nobody knows what’s going on in Guantanamo. Which, uh. Everybody knows what’s going on in Guantanamo, or at least that there are massive human rights violations being done right in front of everyone’s noses. I know it. My country knows it. Your country knows it. They just can’t do anything about it because it’s technically not within US borders, but people know about it. One of my friends wrote a paper about it.
Fact check before rambling on about non-applicable anthropological theory for a half an hour, would you?
Also, theory is very pretty, but also kind of subjective and occasionally utterly useless.Sometimes people, which is what you, the anthropologists, are supposed to be studying, have overlapping interests and practices and do confusing things and have different norms, and not everything needs a fucking name, and not every theory proves a universal truth, for the love of fuck.I, the foreign historian playing in your sandbox, should not have remind you how your own discipline functions.Get it together, people.
