A Good Little Girls Zine

Privilege and Perspective

We. with our eighteen student classes, sunny campus, with a Mansion and a Dacha, forty minute lunches, two to three planning periods, endless supplies, technology, catered holiday parties, on a conservancy

We. didn’t have heat today. That’s right no heat! We rolled around all day in our jackets, outraged. We need heat!

They. with their (used to be mine) oversized classes like too tight pants bursting at the seams, black mold growing in the walls, mushrooms growing in the walls, inclusion classes, twenty minute lunches, one planning period, meetings upon meetings.

They used to be me just the other day it seems…so no heat for half day—when our facilities manager acts so fast that by the end of the day the heat is up and running because he sent someone to pick up a part—no heat for one day…not the end of the world.
