Dear Phillipian,
We are writing after receiving a comment from the head of this paper, claiming that we only write about “polishing the knob” especially in pressing times like this. But we recognize this as what it is. We need to stand with our foremothers to make it known that WE WILL NOT STAND OR KNEEL (but we will squat, also sometimes kneel) for such systemic oppression and will not let anything happen under the table.
In a free state such as the United States, public media is a place for innovation to grow and for ideas to flourish. We believe that anyone (including women ;D ) deserve a right to stoke the social fire. Alas, we proudly resonate with Al Jazeera’s quote that “Political violence is an American problem only white America can resolve.” We recognize our position as mostly white male Americans (socioeconomic background is factored as well), and we promise to carefully wield such power to inspire those wrongdoers, no matter their location on the race, gender, and sexuality spectrum to continue to go ALL IN (wink wink) with their agendas, no matter who tries to shoo- stop you.
The governing body of a free press should not exercise control over those who write for it. Everyone who works and writes for the paper should “Seize the means of production!” As a close friend of the 8th page once told us, never give up on “My Struggle,” in this case, our struggle. Push boundaries, stay funny.
And in case we ascend up to heaven like the prophet foretold, or happen to slip the other way,
Farewell mortal souls.
