I like the siding. Both the outsiding and the insiding.
Yes, let us judge literal children with practically zero agency.
I’m always amazed by how much of the neoliberal economy is held up by ads. Producers want people to buy their products so bad that they literally throw away hundreds, thousands, millions of dollars so that 1.0% of us rubes might click a link or go to a drive-thru.
My brother works in marketing. He’s explained the ROI for ads. I just don’t believe it. It’s a fucking shell game.
Not immediately throwing my clothes in a wash and showering when I got home like usual. That small mistake resulted in a months long battle with bedbugs. Never again.
“We did it, Patrick! We saved the city!”
I’m familiar with this. It’s Greek diaspora architecture. You can tell from the everything about it.
This is just my particular situation. I am fortunate enough to have some property on which to grow food. I try to keep abreast with current predictions for my locale. I know that my area will continue to get hotter and more humid, and flooding will increase. So I’m learning permaculture practices for climates that are already like that in anticipation of the changes. I also make as many connections with local produce growers as I can.
This is a very privileged answer to your question. But maybe looking at predictions for your area and meeting producers near you could ease some stress.
I can only tell you what worked for my partner. They were very politically apathetic for most of our relationship. They care deeply about the health of me and their family. They work in public health too. COVID has been a radicalizing force for them. I had already developed a pretty robust sense of class consciousness by 2020, so all I did was just engage them in conversation about public health. They know more about it than I ever will.
I work in education. We talked about the intersection of public health and education a lot that summer. During the protests and uprisings that summer, she remarked on how she appreciated the protestors wearing masks even though the science was undecided about their necessity outdoors. I told her about how it’s also a safety concern for the protestors to protect their identities. When schools in our area resumed with practically no safeguards, they took an interest in the understanding the reactionary forces that would place children in harms way. Independently they read about the successes combatting the virus in places like Vietnam and the devastation withholding vaccines did/continues to do to the global south.
As the pandemic continues they continues to use public health as their loadstone. They understand the connection between capitalism and ignoring public health. They are not a self-described socialist. Political theory does not interest them. But they’re a comrade.
Welcome to the field!
If you’re unfamiliar with pedagogies, it might be a little difficult to really dive into different frameworks without some familiarity with core concepts. It’s probably best to take a ed psyche course, but you can learn plenty from talking with other teachers/professors. And of course BOOKS! Here’s two of my favorites that are fairly accessible and offer a great intro to lots of educational concepts.
The Shame of the Nation by Jonathon Kozol
Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paublo Freire
I regret nothing
Second smallest domino - 2008 Subprime Mortgage Collapse
Some middle domino - “But it’s Nic Cage November. We have to watch a Nic Cage movie. We can watch City of Angels. It has that song you like.”
Second biggest domino - COVID-19 Pandemic
Little domino - “Yeah I can totally play Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.”
Big domino - “Our second child is finally asleep, but I think they pooped.”
Yeah, it’s a tough pill to swallow, but it’s much better academically speaking to get used to the idea that the majority of your work will subpar (by your own standards). You’re in undergrad, right? Undergraduate work has always bent towards efficiency more than proficiency. I’m not saying you should just fart out trash for every paper and bomb tests. Rather, allot enough time to finish assignments and prepare for tests. That’s all. And that’s hard enough.
If you’re really hung up about it, just email your professor after you turn it in. You can tell them you had trouble getting your thoughts on the subject worked or that you don’t think it’s your best work. Ask them if they think you’ve said anything interesting. Professors eat that shit up. Plus it shows you actually care about their course. Most liberal arts and humanities professors factor participation into how they grade. Emails count.
A half-assed, incomplete paper is worth more than no paper. Just turn something in. Believe me, your prof has read much worse.
I mean… didn’t you just answered your own question? Are you trying to understand how phrases like that are coined in the first place?
Tag yourself.
I’m a taffy fault. The plates moving away from one another are my childhood. The thinning section is a slinky.
Interesting. That’s something OP should definitely be made aware of I think.
I’m not trying to sound flippant here or anything, but if holding cutlery or similar objects like scissors causes you pain, then what’s the harm in trying to manipulate those objects in a different way? The worst that can happen is it doesn’t solve the problem.
