yeah okay ill reblog that

So...will they provide subtitles for this?

i had to read and reread so much of marx's writing for my dissertation and i did not find it particularly fun nor at all easy. economic and philosophic manuscripts of 1844 is about as dense as it gets and i complained about it at length while i was reading it and found it often times extraordinarily hard to wrap my brain around and the things that i did to further my understanding of the material that i was not initially understanding involved 1) reading the text multiple times 2) talking to people about it and 3) reading rigorous academic critiques and responses to it. what i did not do was go onto genius dot com and pretend that reading random internet annotations would be a reasonable substitute for parsing the text itself or engaging with other academic analyses. hope this helps!

i continually talk about this all the time with my students when i assign them difficult texts. i'm not going into our discussions presuming that they completely understand what they've read—that would be irresponsible pedagogically speaking!—the point is that we can have a conversation and determine what they do comprehend (and have thoughts/opinions on) and what areas they need more support in. i assign texts i STILL struggle with! because it's about engaging with the source, not either simplifying it or running from it!

My old person take today is that I feel like people have normalized being on your phone every single moment including when you're spending "quality" time with others so much that they're defensive if someone isn't ok with it. Yes, you have a problematic relationship with your phone and social media if you physically cannot put it down for a couple of hours to like, have dinner with your friends. It's a show of respect for other people's time and energy as well as important to be present and connect with people around you. Your parents who told you no phone at the table were right for that one.

Ok but when you say "restorative justice" do you mean "hegemonic power structures need to provide ways for people who've done bad things to reintegrate into society" or do you mean "you, personally, someone with no hegemonic power whatsoever, need to keep forgiving people who've hurt you forever" because those are like. Pretty different.

Do you mean community as in "broad coalition of people united by some shared material interests" or do you mean "Discord server"

my devoted but dangerously unstable knight will be hearing about this

"shipping and blorbofication are not inherently at odds with understanding a story's deep themes" and "some people can't grasp the themes of a story because they never learned how to engage with stories outside of the lens of shipping and blorbofication" are two statements that can coexist

children are so fucking funny man. i just overheard a kid go “i just learned a new way to pinch, wanna see it? it hurts a lot more!” followed by a loud, notably pained scream

you know I never put it together that he built his platform on draining the swamp and then like went and made a swamp and now refuses to drain it

6. Spread conspiracy theories that the Democrats have deliberately sabotaged the pool and arrest whoever pulls out the floating paint chunks as vandals.

the scariest thing about old tv isnt really the racism or the sexisim because you kinda go in braced for that it's all the scenes where suddenly an actress is holding a lion cub or a chimpanzee is in the same room as a toddler, or suddenly theres a lion, or there's a chimpanzee again but it's driving a car, or holding a lighter, or holding fireworks. You just kind of watch in horror as over and over an actress performs with only 1960s tv film shootings best animal handling between her and the opening to Nope.
