What’s The Opposite Of Diversity?

Until I see this published in the precolonial Mississauga Nishnaabe alphabet, I’m calling prank.

The author uses her “intersecting lenses of being a chronically ill neurodivergent Two-Spirit Mississauga Nishnaabe Lucbanin artist and scholar” to convey the importance of “ancestral knowledge encodements” through beadwork.

  1. One could suggest that this may be part of the Kamala Harris word salad soup but I doubt she could say many of those words in a conversation.

  3. “intersecting lenses of being a chronically ill neurodivergent Two-Spirit Mississauga Nishnaabe Lucbanin artist and scholar” to convey the importance of “ancestral knowledge encodements” through beadwork.

    Could have been shortened to: “Smokes too much weed.”

  4. “Mystical woo woo”
    BTW … does the author realize that her self description is perhaps the most unattractive imagery imaginable? I wouldn’t want to so much as be in the same room with her.

    1. Oh, we’d want her in the band. If she can rattle those beads, she’ll fit right in the rhythm section. And if she’s a Mississauga then she’s a natural rattler!

      1. I hope you don’t mind if I forgo the experience until you put out your “Greatest Hits” album.

          3. We play by semaphore?
            But we aren’t on Semaglutides …

            Too far a stretch? Puppetry of our …

  5. Y’know, not to be difficult or anything but “neruo-divergent” aka autism is a White People thing, specifically northern European/British and Ashkenazi Jewish. And around here, Scotland particularly. There’s a lot of Scots that are “a wee bit different” if you see what I’m sayin’.

    So if there’s “neuro-divergency” in a “Mississauga Nishnaabe Lucbanin” family then I’m calling Scots grandfather/great-grandfather.

    Because “One Drop Rule” is the thing if you’re going to rage on about racial purity and stuff like that. One drop of Scotland makes you a Whitey, and that’s that. Too bad/so sad.

    Hey, I don’t make these rules. I just like to remind Lefties when they pretend their rules don’t apply to them.

  6. Now I’m thinking of those teachers who bought PhDs from Florida universities back in the 1970s, so they could become principals, as “brilliant”.

  7. Indigenous knowledge is racism masquerading as mysticism. Fifty years after Les Bewley wrote in the Vancouver Sun that “humanities faculties should be replaced with library cards”, the consequences of not heeding his advice are now ubiquitous and indicative of a society bordering on total insanity.

  8. How High Are Ya
    How Hihg ar y
    Hi How are ya

    This **”literally” translates into Nishnaabe
    1) “Indian Title is higher title than Fee Simple Title, or Your 1863 Crown Patent signed directly by the King , even earlier than most Indian Surrender Treaties , means we Indians, even if we just took a Dump there, 400 years ago, or even if we just ran north to escape the Americans, still own your Property”

    or
    2) “Don’t crush my Smokes, Dad”.
    But its prolly the other one.
    **”Literally, was Literally used to appeal to the GenZ readers. Literally.

  10. For Odin’s sake, everyone knows you have to have peer appeal to get ahead in the arts academic community these days. This poor soul is just trying to keep their job. Good for them.

    Personally, I practice Taqiyya with these types: I ask them when they were last vaxed, lie about my own status, and encourage them to get vaxed again. (Helps ward off the Lumbago, don’t you know). I learnt that from Rules for Radicals.

    1. “New row divergent” was what they told me when I lost the ploughing championship…
