Notes 11/20: 
-I usually interview activists, but this week I spoke to my co-worker who was not politically active. Listening to it now a few years later, there's definitely some problematic things in here, but I decided it still has value to sort of show us struggling to learn. This is an example of an off-the-cuff conversation and if you have conversations like this I hope you do a better job!

- Don't use the term "war paint" to describe makeup, it's racist.

-Also, internalized beauty standards are racist and ableist. A couple articles about that:

Spoke this week about makeup shaming, tear gas, Power Brows, the YPJ, WWII female Russian snipers, Lady Death, dealing with bangs, male dominated spaces, sexism, being bubbly, taking space, inopportune periods, shopping, fighting dirty, boys, gold hoop earrings, work out routines, gym memberships, glitter bombing, silly string, and how All Cats Are Beautiful. 

Notes:
-If anyone has the video of Richard Spencer getting glitter bombed, please send it my way
-I can't find a reference on the origins of ACAB, but it looks like it goes back much further than the 80's
