23 October 2000 - minor obscurantist

Why do I slave and slave away, day and night, night and day, to create the finest Daily Whale on the face of the planet Earth? Well, I do love y’all, but that’s not my reason. I know that eventually I’ll become a dead white male, and that means I’m sure to wind up on the syllabus for lit grad students who take Minor Obscurantists of the Early Post-Literate Period. I’m working hard to bring to future generations exactly what they need most, a good excuse to skip the reading.
