good thing they burned the poem immediately after it was written instead of posting it up on our country’s front door and using it in elementary schools to explain how our country works to EVERYONE who’s ever grown up here... otherwise, it might mean something.

How do we know she wasn’t on fire before she went out into the street?

Does he literally think that people collect all those straws, put them into school buses, and dump them in the ocean? Does he believe children have to walk to school now because we prioritize our buses for storing plastic straws that will be dumped into the ocean?

I think that you’re confusing the strawman argument that people like her give with ACTUAL cultural appropriation. I have no problem with people wearing the clothing associated with my culture, incorporating our foods, etc. That is not appropriation. Appropriation is when OUR VOICES ARE SILENCED, and their…

If today is Ava Phillippe’s 17th birthday, that means she was born on 9/9/99, and that’s rad.

I think you are a bad commenter because... you are boring the fuck out of me.

I would hazard that there are no farmers in said alliance. Just uptight suburban housewifes/kept men who have too much time and really like the vistas on their Sunday drive.

With every barn that comes down, the classic landscape of American farmland littered with wooden barns fades away. The National Barn Alliance is trying to make sure that doesn’t happen by preserving the buildings it can and documenting those that will come down.

Yeah, that’s excessive for sure. But I’m not going to hate on small farmers (a notoriously wealthy group, right) for making some money off of something that would cost them if there wasn’t a demand.

I basically agree with you. However, my neighbor did order reclaimed barn wood from the other side of the country in order to create an
“accent wall” in her kitchen. I think it looks cool, but I’m not sure that shipping reclaimed wood across 12 states is either economic or environmentally sound. So some of the hate…

Recycling is good, particularly wood, even if it’s hipsters doing it. I don’t understand all the sudden hate for reclaimed wood. Just throw it all in the dumpster, amirite, or burn it! That would be much better.
