oh yikes. another “let’s develop new ways to exploit immigrant labor and also make sure they don’t bring their poor and dirty relatives over here” solution to the war over immigration
Text: Here’s how the program would work: Imagine a woman named Mary Turner, who lives in Wheeling, West Virginia. She was recently laid off from a chicken-processing plant and makes ends meet by walking and taking care of her neighbors’ pets. Mary could expand her little business by hiring some workers, but no one in the area would accept a wage she can afford. Mary goes online—to a new kind of international gig economy website, a Fiverr for immigrants—and applies to sponsor a migrant. She enters information about what she needs: someone with rudimentary English skills, no criminal record and an affection for animals. She offers a room in her basement, meals and $5 an hour. (Sponsors under this program would be exempt from paying minimum wage.) The website offers Mary some matches—people living in foreign countries who would like to spend some time in the United States and earn some money. After some back and forth, Mary interviews a woman named Sofia who lives in Paraguay. Text: Sofia, who grew up in a village, has endured hardships that few Americans can imagine. She is eager to earn some money so that she could move to her nation’s capital city and get some vocational training. A few weeks later, Sofia arrives in Wheeling, after taking a one-week training course on American ways. If things don’t work out, the agency that runs the website will find a new match for Sofia, and Mary will find someone new as well.

also this scene when the pastor corners Amos to find out more about Good Stab

“This Fullblood Blackfeet, he takes no scalps, does he?”

“Two different people,” he said, obviously, one a divinity, the other a monster. (240)
not much of a spoiler here because this description of events only makes sense if you’ve read good stab’s account spoiler part is this: good stab being portrayed as a kind of divine being inserting himself as part of this young man’s spiritual quest which is paradox to good stab’s bloodthirsty habits

fyi: every gay is a sorcerer which means we don’t get our powers from a magic book; they’re innate

(blurred because major spoilers)
will is just like me or any other gay during the winter because we all get nose bleeds. also he just used his gay powers to save his best friends and wiping the blood from his nose with his sleeve while things continue to explode behind him

tmw Robin tells Will if you don’t love yourself how in the hell you gonna love somebody else
will is listening to robin talk about coming out to herself. his eyes are watering as she talks about being “scared of… who I really was”… robin smiles with tears in her eyes. when she realized it wasn’t about having a crush on a stupid girl who didn’t even pay attention to her but about loving herself. “it’s like I could fly. like I could finally be…” and will finishes her sentence “rockin robin”
