Interesting praise from an art school colleague.

The other week, I was talking with an art school colleague about unionization stuff, and he was like, "And that's because a lot of people don't have the militancy that you do."

And he meant it as a compliment.

That made me laugh for a while when I thought about it, but overall I find it a lovely compliment.

I even called my mother and told her, and she liked the word "militancy", and I texted a few friends.

My one friend from Pittsburgh texted back and after quoting some line from a poem was like -

Well, militant is the main way to go anymore.
