Academic hills I will die on:

-Land-use history didn’t begin with European colonization and if, like me, your research focuses on post-settlement land use it’s important to acknowledge that fact.

-The great American wilderness is a grossly inaccurate colonialist fantasy.

-Human influence, specifically that of indigenous people, is all over the ecology of what is currently called America.

-Human interaction with other organisms is not inherently negative
because it’s “unnatural.” We’re all family whether we want to admit it
or not.

-Human/Nature dualism is awful and wrong.

-Environmentalism that focuses on “humans are bad” and verges on some Catholic-style “fallen man” ideology is also awful.

-Environmentalism that uses this mentality to reproduce colonialism by supposedly protecting nature from indigenous land management needs to stop.

Clark Kent is not a coward, he just hates Superman. The reason he runs off every time disaster occurs is cause he knows Superman will be there soon and he can’t stand the guy.

Oh lord, the idea of a running gag of Clark having to come up with more and more elaborate reasons to hate the most beloved guy on Earth would be comedy gold.

“I loaned him thirty four bucks three weeks ago and he STILL hasn’t paid me back”

“I saw him littering once”

“He’s friends with an asshole like Batman!”

“We’re not friends anymore AND HE KNOWS WHY!”

“HE KEEPS HITTING ON MY WIFE”
