I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass by Yo La Tengo.

I only like the first song but I like that song enough that I bought the album on Vinyl.

This. Great album too.

I print recipes (don’t want to worry about spilling on devices), worksheets for my daughter, and gov’t/bank documents that require physical signatures. Occasionally I’ll make a print and play game as well.

I don’t like the obsolescence cycle of tablets.

There’s a material reason that the narrative takes this form on top of the colonialist/supremacist reasons.

When Europeans first made contact, they brought disease that destroyed native civilization. I’ve read that more than 90% of the population was wiped out by smallpox and other diseases. By the time Europeans came back to settle, the continent felt empty and unclaimed.

To add even more to the bullshit narrative, indigenous cultivation was no longer possible. Vast swaths of land went from carefully managed prairie and farm field to feral forest. However, the forest was young enough to be cleared easily. The settler’s ease at clearing the “wild” forest was evidence of their superiority over the backwards and lazy natives, who couldn’t put such blessed land to good and Godly use.

The native cultivation was/is highly advanced and developed for specific climates- it’s really fascinating. I find it depressing that the way many people are taught erases that in favor of eminent domain style narratives.
