[APPLAUSE]

00:00:01.410 --> 00:00:04.885 align:middle line:84%
Well, let's see how
low this can go.

00:00:04.885 --> 00:00:07.500 align:middle line:90%
Let's see how low y'all can go.

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:13.260 align:middle line:84%
Isn't my life partner so
cute and entertaining?

00:00:13.260 --> 00:00:17.100 align:middle line:90%
Sorry that I'm me.

00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:23.223 align:middle line:84%
Less cute, less
entertaining, sorry, as real.

00:00:23.223 --> 00:00:25.140 align:middle line:84%
But I'm going to start
with a Tommy Pico poem,

00:00:25.140 --> 00:00:28.035 align:middle line:84%
just ease into the whole
Morgan Parker experience.

00:00:28.035 --> 00:00:29.910 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:29.910 --> 00:00:30.420 align:middle line:90%
OK?

00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:32.220 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:32.220 --> 00:00:35.370 align:middle line:84%
This is my favorite part
of Tommy's book Nature

00:00:35.370 --> 00:00:37.870 align:middle line:90%
Poem, which I love.

00:00:37.870 --> 00:00:38.370 align:middle line:90%
I love--

00:00:38.370 --> 00:00:38.790 align:middle line:90%
I love you.

00:00:38.790 --> 00:00:39.665 align:middle line:90%
I love all the books.

00:00:39.665 --> 00:00:41.850 align:middle line:90%
I blurbed I think I--

00:00:41.850 --> 00:00:44.550 align:middle line:90%
was it Junk that are blurred?

00:00:44.550 --> 00:00:46.620 align:middle line:90%
So I approve.

00:00:46.620 --> 00:00:47.700 align:middle line:90%
Please buy it.

00:00:47.700 --> 00:00:49.460 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:49.460 --> 00:00:50.340 align:middle line:90%


00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:53.580 align:middle line:84%
I can't read a nature poem
because that conversation

00:00:53.580 --> 00:00:56.160 align:middle line:84%
happens in the whole of
South American peoples

00:00:56.160 --> 00:00:58.890 align:middle line:84%
and the American Museum
of Natural History,

00:00:58.890 --> 00:01:02.490 align:middle line:84%
between two white
ladies in buttery shawls

00:01:02.490 --> 00:01:07.170 align:middle line:84%
as they pass a display
case of traditional garb

00:01:07.170 --> 00:01:08.670 align:middle line:90%
from one tribe or another.

00:01:08.670 --> 00:01:11.520 align:middle line:84%
It doesn't really
matter to anyone.

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:18.660 align:middle line:84%
And that word natural in
natural history, hangs.

00:01:18.660 --> 00:01:25.050 align:middle line:90%
Also history, also peoples.

00:01:25.050 --> 00:01:28.650 align:middle line:90%
Hangs as in frames.

00:01:28.650 --> 00:01:33.000 align:middle line:84%
It's horrible how their
culture was destroyed.

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.970 align:middle line:90%
As if in some reckless storm.

00:01:35.970 --> 00:01:41.880 align:middle line:84%
But thank god, we were able to
save some of these artifacts.

00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:45.510 align:middle line:90%
History is so important.

00:01:45.510 --> 00:01:48.690 align:middle line:84%
Will you look at
this needlework?

00:01:48.690 --> 00:01:49.680 align:middle line:90%
I could cry.

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.230 align:middle line:90%


00:01:52.230 --> 00:01:57.030 align:middle line:84%
Look I'm sure you really do
want to wear those dreamcatcher

00:01:57.030 --> 00:01:58.800 align:middle line:90%
earrings.

00:01:58.800 --> 00:02:01.410 align:middle line:90%
They're beautiful.

00:02:01.410 --> 00:02:03.600 align:middle line:84%
I'm sure you don't
mean any harm.

00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:08.520 align:middle line:84%
I'm sure you don't really
think about us at all.

00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:12.270 align:middle line:84%
I'm sure you don't understand
the concept of off limits.

00:02:12.270 --> 00:02:16.770 align:middle line:84%
But what if by not wearing a
headdress in your music video,

00:02:16.770 --> 00:02:20.670 align:middle line:84%
or changing your damn
mascot, and perhaps adding

00:02:20.670 --> 00:02:26.190 align:middle line:84%
0.5% of personal annoyance to
your life for the 20 minutes

00:02:26.190 --> 00:02:29.790 align:middle line:84%
it lasts, the 103
young people who

00:02:29.790 --> 00:02:33.060 align:middle line:84%
tried to kill themselves on the
Pine Ridge Indian Reservation

00:02:33.060 --> 00:02:40.120 align:middle line:84%
over the past four months
wanted to live 50% more.

00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:45.040 align:middle line:84%
I don't want to
be seen generally.

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:47.050 align:middle line:90%
I'm a natural introvert.

00:02:47.050 --> 00:02:49.510 align:middle line:84%
And I def don't want to
be seen by white ladies

00:02:49.510 --> 00:02:52.300 align:middle line:90%
in buttery shawls.

00:02:52.300 --> 00:02:55.500 align:middle line:84%
But I will literally
die if I don't scream.

00:02:55.500 --> 00:02:56.000 align:middle line:90%
