let the summer vacation begin

my philosophy notebook
i finished my last paper. yay for me. it is about how shadow work maintains the social fabric of oppression. do you know what shadow work is? well, you should. it is any work that is necessary to keep a social structure in place but that is not recognized or acknowledged as work. examples of this are cooking dinner, doing laundry, rearing children, or any other work that an oppressed person (or group) does in order to keep the dominant person (or group) feeling dominant.
