2) Jewish Americans created comic books.
3) These things are said to be the only original American art forms.
This should be mentioned every time someone talks about how black people’s culture is “inferior” or how America is a “Christian nation”, because there is no original American art that is white and Christian in origin.

My sister and I were just having this discussion. She thought my life looked put together but really I’m just clawing my way along and just sometimes poop pretty schedule pages or good lesson plans. None of us know what we are doing and we’re all for the most part living so that we can sleep at night. Be good, smell nice, keep breathing.

Super glad to post this! And since it was awhile ago and I was doing a lot of things during that time, I’m thinking of revisiting and doing another piece of this stunning place!
