Most Woke Activist on Campus Has 37 Stickers on Laptop

Upon arriving at Clark, local student Arianna Johnson is said to have quickly become aware of the popularity of activism across campus. And at the young age of twenty, she decided that she too should have a stake in social justice.

“I guess it all just kind of got to me,” Johnson said in an exclusive interview, “I recently saw this movie, Sorry to Bother You? I don’t know if you’ve heard of it. But anyway, I looked around the theater and I was the only white person in the audience, you know? And it got me thinking—what if I took a stand?”

And what a stand she took! With her laptop clad in stickers promising “Love is Love,” “Nasty Woman,” and “Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History,” this zealous junior assures The Freudian Slip that she is not only making a difference, but also holding those in the Clark community accountable. According to one eyewitness account, Johnson was recently seen passing out “Check Your Privilege” stickers in the middle of a meeting of the Black Student Union, reminding her fellow students that “ageism is prevalent in the workplace.” The BSU members lucky enough to be inspired through these sticky written words were forced to stop their discussion to, thankfully, really think about ageism.

In response to Johnson’s efforts, many students have taken to avoiding the AC, haunted by the reminder of their refusal to “spread hummus not hate.” As an endnote Johnson reminded our staff that, “As Grimes tweeted on my birthday week,” we confirmed, she’s in fact a Pisces, “‘be the change you want to see in the world.’ We need more than one brave individual to really alter this world. This weekend, do something crazy in the face of those good-for-nothing Republicans—put an ‘All Lives Matter’ sticker on your laptop.”

Hipster Quote of the Week:

The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
