I had a womens studies professor try to coax a class to understand
that it’s not ’wrong’ for an alcoholic homeless person
to take your change you tossed and spend it on alcohol.
People were livid lol.

I once taught a whole lesson on the narratives of deservedness in the very strange concept of “stealing” books from something conspicuously branded as a “free” little library. The students struggled with it. A lot of internalized beliefs about poverty and worth. But I think it was a good lesson. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Es ist ermüdend wie die Medien immer wieder das Narrativ der fehlenden Fachkräfte bedienen. Es gibt genug Fachkräfte, aber die sind über 35 Jahre alt und wollen nicht mit einem Allmosen abgespeist werden. Die Recruiter sind hoffnungslos stereotyp. Und heulen dann herum. #fail

Die MINT-Lücke bleibt trotz Konjunkturschwäche groß

Neurotypical folk: "You seem like an interesting person. Let's hang out and see where this takes us."
Neuroatypical me: "You seem like an interesting person. Here's a list of things I can't stand. If you somehow happen to think likewise (or at least you can adjust without me having remorse about you having to give stuff up because of me), let's be a couple for the rest of our lives."

Ich mache mich mal unbeliebt:
Auch wenn ihr euch sehr über das #Stadtbild Narativ von #Merz ärgert.

Ihr werdet ihn nicht ändern, ihr interessiert ihn nicht einmal und seid nicht sein Zielpublikum.

Neurotypowi ludzie: "Wydajesz się interesującą osobą. Umówmy się i zobaczymy, co z tego wyjdzie."
Neuronietypowy ja: "Wydajesz się interesującą osobą. Oto lista rzeczy, których nie mogę znieść. Jeżeli jakimś cudem myślisz podobnie (albo przynajmniej jesteś w stanie się dostosować w taki sposób, żebym nie miał wyrzutów sumienia, że przeze mnie musisz z czegoś rezygnować), to zostańmy parą na resztę życia."

From 1977 to 1979,
June Jordan and Toni Morrison were both a part of "The Sisterhood",
a group of Black women writers who met in a New York City apartment to eat and drink together while discussing liberation.
Whether addressing genocide, imperialism or the American literary establishment,
the writers in the group,
which included Alice Walker and Ntozake Shange,
saw their work as a means to make interventions against dominant narratives of colon…

Toni Morrison on Fascism and Censorship
In this reprint of "Peril" and "Racism and Fascism," Toni Morrison warns of the creative depths of fascism's reach.

Day 10: Stacey Mason
Another academic, but this time one of my compatriots; we overlapped at UC Santa Cruz as advisees of Michael Mates, and even collaborated on a Twitch stream called ScholarsPlay for a bit, although we never coauthored any papers. We did chat about our research, and I had many good discussions with her about agency in interactive fiction, a topic we both published on.
