— Artist Trisha Baga on the story of Plymouth Rock, which loosely inspired her work Plymouth Rock 2, opening tomorrow. 

I have successfully used the following terms in my english notes:

  • ship was a piece of crap
  • Indians were little shits at first
  • Indians told fellow tribes that they befriended the english and created peace treaty and to “deal with it”
