less detectable collaboration between researchers and teachers, or researchers and students
Is it because its gate kept; reminds me of one article from what Yinanna shared that having too many stakeholders involved leads too complex LA tools; however, in my argument, why aren't we allowing our users in the known; isn't it bias to assume what humans do and know about how they use a technology.
revert into an object
Reminds me of Heidegger's zuhanden/vorhanden-distinction.
I never asked to become a public person. The Italian authorities and global media made that choice for me. And when I was acquitted and freed, the media and the public wouldn’t allow me to become a private citizen again. I have not been allowed to return to the relative anonymity I had before Perugia. I have no choice but to accept the fact that I live in a world where my life, and my reputation, are freely available for distortion by a voracious content mill.
Amanda Knox's story really reminds me of Steven Avery's story, which was recorded in the Netflix documentary "How to Make a Murderer." Both Amanda and Steven were accused of murder by police who entered the investigation with preconceived notions of the suspect, and charged their suspect with murder based almost solely on confirming their own narratives.
I know how wrong people were about me, and I don’t ever want to be that wrong about another person.
This line reminds me that, although her story may be getting exploited, such as in the Tom McCarthy film, it does not mean we need to vilify him or anyone a part of it; at the end of the day these are real people working their real jobs. It can be hard to "pick a side" in a situation like this.
I return to these questions again and again because others continue to profit off my identity, and my trauma, without my consent.
And since every action is cached, subsequent runs will be quicker
since docker ppl created seems analogous to layers..also reminds me of how caching is done on Bazel to reduce need for rerunning stuff
Desegregation enhanced the long-term life chances of many African American students and rarely hurt white students, but the movement to complete or maintain it has largely been over for 2 5 years.
This reminds me of an interview last year where a White news reporter interviewed a Black protester. When asking if he dislike any of the rioting he witnessed he simply stated no. He said the lifestyle he lives along with other people of his race results from the "repercussions of the White man ancestors". The same goes with education. We tend to see a lot more Whites at an advance level compared to Blacks simply because they were at an advantage and were given a head start when it comes to quality education.
Many issues in education policy have therefore come down to an apparent choice between the individual success of comparatively privileged students and the collective good of all students or the nation as a whole.
This reminds me of the paradox of the American Revolution that I learned about in my history of education class. Basically, the concept of individualism was crucial to America, especially with the influence John Locke had on the declaration of independence. However, in order for the nation to stay together, especially when tensions were high, people needed something that would bind them together, and education played a huge role by engineering citizens. I think the paradox is important for understanding some of our issues.
I think it's very ignorant for people to think this way. This sort of reminds me of when individuals suggest homeless people to work so that they’re not homeless anymore. Like just because things are offered does not mean they are easily reachable.
(how good they are at doing something — or, worse, how their performance compares to others’) that they’re no longer thinking about the learning itself.
This reminds me of the ranking system used in school. I never realized how problematic grades were until my senior year of high school, when my classmates were discussing their class ranks and how they could have ranked higher or done better throughout their academic careers. Rather than applauding themselves for learning and doing well, many students were disappointed in themselves because of their class ranks. That was disheartening to see.
supervised learning, self-supervised learning, and reinforced learning,
this reminds me of teaching !
everything else in Orthodox tradition, be it ever so venerable, beautiful, or spiritually nourishing, can possess at most the authority of accepted custom, licit conjecture, or fruitful practice
I love this -- it reminds me of the high school theory of knowledge idea of different sources of knowledge, justifications of knowledge. Custom (community), conjecture (reason), practice (experience) -- all meshed into each other, naturally (custom's sense of what's fruitful, reason's eye on custom).
Thus it is imperative to move beyond open-versus-closed dichotomies and even beyond unified conceptions of openness. Openness requires a critical approach.
I deem it crucial that the author is stressing the need of moving beyond dichotomies and that she reminds us of the role of critical thinking, which finds in me a big supporter. However, I'm starting to interrogate this word - "critical" - as it seems a schizophrenic concept, at least in Academia where it is both a "buzzword" and a "tabu".
not only of openness but also of hope, equality, and justice
This quote reminds me of bell hooks' foundational book "Teaching to Transgress. Education as the Practice of Freedom" (1994). in particular when, in chapter 1, she says "To teach in a manner that respects and cares for the souls of our students is essential if we are to provide the necessary conditions where learning can most deeply and intimately begin" (p. 13).
United States, researchers have long found that echo chambers are smaller and less prevalent than commonly assumed
research continues to show that echo chambers are not as prevalent or important as we may think
Knowing the influence I had obtained over the minds of my fellow servants, (not by the means of conjuring and such like tricks–for to them I always spoke of such things with contempt) but by the communion of the Spirit whose revelations I often communicated to them, and they believed and said my wisdom came from God
This reminds me of the way colonists used religion to justify slavery and westward expansion through manifest destiny.
The idea of writing Mary Prince’s history was first suggested by herself. She wished it to be done, she said, that good people in England might hear from a slave what a slave had felt and suffered;
This idea of "writing Mary Prince's history" and her being the one that *chooses * to tell it reminds me of Hartman's questions of representation in the Archive. Mary Prince's story is a first hand account with an explicit purpose regarding slavery: that the "good people might hear from a slave what a slave had felt and suffered." In Contrast, Hartman characterizes the Archive as lacking of first point of views and first hand accounts. I wonder what Hartman thinks of stories such as Mary Prince's and similar stories that never got told.
My dear mistress teaches me daily to read the word of God, and takes great pains to make me understand it. I enjoy the great privilege of being enabled to attend church three times on the Sunday
I have often encountered this component in abolitionist literature: the idea of Christianization and being saved. This reminds me of Frederick Douglass's writings about the perceived dangers of literacy amongst enslaved people. Because literacy opens up an arena of agency, the contextualizing force of Christianized reading becomes not only oppressive, but also totalizing and erasive.
Mrs. Williams was kind-hearted good woman, and she treated all her slaves well.
This sentiment reminds me of a key issue of cognitive dissonance underlying Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, in that someone could at once actively enslave people and be kind to them. What are the ramifications of these enclaves of "kindness"? What psychological and sociological complexes are constructed through this narrative of well-meaning enslavement? In a space where inaction can cohabit with feelings of remorse and distress, new complications arise.
was not a man but a child. It did not threaten white women but innocently served them their chocolate, looking at them faithfully and loyally with big round eyes.
reminds me so much of the article we read about the liveries and macaronis "mungo macaroni and the slavish swell"
- note how Epstein repeats the indeterminate "it." Epstein's inability "to take it in" is per- haps the distinguishing feature of the Holocaust photograp
I think these are powerful lines. Its never easy to comprehend "Holocaust" pictures particularly when you know that the people you are seeing in pictures went through the worst humanity can imagine. It reminds of the film "The Pianist" which sensitized me about war. I couldn't take it in either, unless I saw my own people die in wars. Today when we see an archive footage of a friend/journalist killed in our regions evokes the same kind of feeling. He may be alive in the frame but is no more there.
I thought the journey to learning new words was always exciting. I thought I would have the same delightful epiphany like how my teacher delighted herself saying the word flamboyant describing Barbie in class. But all I could remember was my sister’s doll, and how it reminded me of the word shame.
This literature reminds us that language is also learned in daily experiences. I like how this teaches me that more than giving exemplary English lessons in the future, it also counts for something that I become a teacher of good character and treat children with kindness in my class. Beyond the stresses of being a teacher, rage wouldn't be an option for me.
While helpful and maybe necessary for students who need accommodations, the mixtapes also provide support for students facing other learning barriers, such as time limitations due to work or long commutes.
This reminds me of the idea that different people learn best in different ways, and so it's important to have a lot of different means of teaching material. I wonder how much overlap there is between designing for disabilities and designing to help students who work best with different types of teaching.
Design mediates so much of our realities and has tremendous impact on our lives, yet very few of us participate in design processes. In particular, the people who are most adversely affected by design decisions—about visual culture, new technologies, the planning of our communities, or the structure of our political and economic systems—tend to have the least influence on those decisions and how they are made."13
This idea of one group of people being impacted by a certain issue, but having very little control over what’s being done to combat these problems reminds me of the Combahee River Collective Statement. The statement emphasizes how black women should be at the forefront of black feminist movements because they are the closest to their own experiences. In the same way, it would make sense for people who are most affected by design decisions should be those who are making the design decisions because they azure closest to their own marginalized experiences and know their needs best.
And when they bombed other people’s houses, we protested but not enough, we opposed them but not
this reminds me of BLM, no matter how much we protest it feels like its never enough or our message isn't reaching the people it needs to.
While piles of applications and an ultra-low acceptance rate are certainly marks of popularity, these things are in truth indications of a poorly designed system in need of long-overdue improvements.
This reminds me of Coates' "notes from the second year." Specifically the part where he says “College is often thought of as the line between the power to secure yourself and your family and the power of someone else securing you in a prison or grave. I was, by then, seemingly well beyond the grasp of streets.” (page 73) I feel like the author making the claim of a poorly designed system ties in perfectly with Coates' opinion of college and the ability to attend college as an African-American. It is the only way "beyond the streets", but as acceptance rates are lowering, the ability to go beyond is also lowering. and the ability to push past the stereotypes African Americans face with the continuation of discriminatory is also lowering. As Coates says “ “College dropout” means something different when you’re black.” (Page 73).
This reminds me of when we learned about women warriors. There seems to be a common pattern that if a woman performs some kind of service (entertainment or leadership) she is regarded with much more respect and freedom.
i really like this connection and the analysis you made about woman's roles and how they are viewed
This is perhaps because UX consists of multiple variables that are not agreed-upon or consistently considered and because it lacks a coherent unit of analysis. In this sense, a parallel can be drawn between UX and LXD, in that terms and concepts related to LXD abound in practice, despite the lack of clear definitions and methodological frameworks
Reminds me of last week's readings and videos where we discussed the difficulty of defining what LXD is (and how it differs from ID)
Similarly, the SMEs with whom learning designers might collaborate (e.g., physicians, nurses) may have deep domain knowledge and practice-based experience but be professionally distant from the lived experiences their patients might face.
This reminds me of my child, who was seeing a psychologist. He didn't think she could help him because she didn't have his disorders. I suggested he ask her about that, to ask why she thinks she could help.
Listening produces questions, not answer
This is so true! It reminds me of Augusta's response in our last assignment when she replied to my question with a question.
freelance writing career
this reminds me of Tuesdays guest speaker who encouraged us to follow our passions and to not view life as a straight line.
Exact temporal windows
This reminds me of the childhood sensitive periods during which synaptic plasticity being higher allows for the acquisition of different languages. Based on the content of this article, it seems like early life plasticity in general allows experiences to seriously alter how the brain develops, so something like exercise has much longer lasting or more permanent positive impact. I wonder if this works the other way, as well. Like, could trauma experienced during early life have a longer-lasting or more permanent negative impact than trauma experienced during adulthood?
This is just one example se-lected from a countless number in which millions of people spent billions of dollars on a worthless product.
It reminds me pop-it and fidget spinner craze which claim to decrease stress level who play with them. But I think this is the sale tactics. At the end of the day, they earn millions. Here is an article on Forbes. https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2017/05/19/heres-the-science-behind-the-fidget-spinner-craze/?sh=44fb0cb53af0
Elites presumably care about what people think because they want them tobehave in certain ways
This reminds me of the theory of egocentrism. In that theory, all people act with selfish intentions, even when doing something altruistic. It wouldn't be surprising to know that society's elites feign caring about the issues of the public to garner their own benefits.
he same systemof ‘first neighbours’ and substitution, the same serial model of reciprocity,is used to call up anything that requires more hands than a single family canprovide: from planting and harvesting to cheese-making and slaughteringpigs. It follows that households cannot simply schedule their daily labour inline with their own needs.
this almost reminds me of the concept of a godparent- they step in when the family needs help and they have an obligation to one another
“The kids we teach, if we are being realistic, they need skills for hands-on jobs, like how to fix a (car). If they learn technology it’s for that purpose.”
This is particularly startling. It's interesting the way the teacher identifies all students "the kids we teach" as having the same prospects. This reminds me of research finding that teachers tend to view students belonging to minoritized racial/ethnic group as one student instead of individuals.
As I am a true knight I swear my troth that ye shall come to the Green Chapel to achieve your task on New Year’s morn, long before prime. Therefore abide ye in your bed, and I will hunt in this wood, and hold ye to the covenant to exchange with me against all the spoil I may bring hither.
This reminds me of the greek value of xenia. which essentially is "a law/custom of offering protection and hospitality to strangers". It seems to go hand in hand with chivalric values. They both encompass this nobleness that warriors and knights are supposed to represent.
Characterised variously as `an incredulity toward metanarratives', `a crisis of cultural authority' and `the shift from production to reproduction', and tossed into conversation in the company of words like `decentred', `simulation', `schizophrenic' and `anti-aesthetic', postmodernism seems to exist tenuously, as a thing that can only be defined as the negation of something else. To a student of the subject, postmodernism may feel very much like Narcissus' reflection in the water, which disintegrates the moment one reaches out to grasp it. This, as it turns out, is a very postmodern way to be.
Aimee Benedict It's interesting to think of postmodernism as being like Narcissus' reflection in the water, disintegrating when one grasps it because it is simultaneously saying postmodernism is both reproduction and reflection- both re- words. It reminds me of a song I can't remember which's lyrics-"the world's just a shadow of what went before; the world gives off none of its own light". its kind of a similar idea. "Western Sky" by Mark Eitzel.
turning attention to the area of inattention
Don't know if I am too superficially thinking here, but this reminds me of thoughts about mindfulness - Gives me the idea, that coping with new media will be more successful if it is done mindfully
which is one word materialists, we mean by it that theywrite of unimportant things; that they spend immenseskill and immense industry making the trivial and thetransitory appear the true and the enduring
reminds me of realism, making the everyday object something important simply as it is
Perhaps the super rich still do aristocratic tutoring, in secret? It turns out these are mostly, again, interventions, even if we look at the most expensive tutor:. . . the tutor he placed for $400,000 a year was for a rich family on the West Coast. The student was having trouble with school and with substance abuse, so the tutor had to home-school the student and coach the student and his family through rehab.
This example of how the best tutor is being used on a wasted youth is sad to see.
This reminds me of Upload Season 2 where one character throws a hissy fit because they can't raise a AI baby in the digital sims after life they live in. Bad parenting and below average children are fixed with tutoring.
In Ontario Ontario there is a gifted program for smart kids where they go to a different school one a week to engage amongst themselves in a more unstructured way. These kids did not turn out much better than anyone else that was university bound.....
In December 2007, a series of signs in the style of ransom notes started appearing around New York City. One read, in part, “We have your son. We will make sure he will not be able to care for himself or interact socially as long as he lives.” It was signed “Autism.” The sign and others were part of a provocative ad campaign by New York University’s Child Study Center. The campaign unintentionally provoked an onslaught of criticism and rage from some advocacy groups against the center, which offers ABA. Many of the vocal activists once received ABA, and they reject both the therapy’s methods and its goals.
oh my god—
that's horrible. This reminds me of that one Autism Speaks ad that's often criticized where the narrator is supposed to be personification of Autism and portrays it as a debilitating condition. I can't remember exactly what was said in the ad but I remember completely understanding why people are pissed about it.
The Brain—is wider than the Sky—
This reminds me of a picture I saw a while ago, where a brain neuron and a galaxy were put side by side. They looked almost identical.
Giving students choices in their learning is beneficial because it leads to higher levels of motivation and engagement, accounts for different learning styles, needs, and interests, and provides students with a sense of autonomy.
This reminds me of my 8th grade science class where as students, we were able to learn the information for the chapter in any format or way we wanted. Basically, the teacher would give us a list of assignments with different point values for each. For example, we could listen to her lecture for 10 points, listen to a podcast for 15, complete a JogNog tower for 30 points, or do a hands on lab for a certain amount of points. All she would require is that we completed 200 points by the deadline. There were about 300 points available, and it gave us students the opportunity to work on finding what learning style worked best for us. Everyone also seemed to like that class, because they could go at their own speed and do what worked best for them to learn the material. I like how she incorporated some of the activities as whole class ones too, so if you needed or wanted more support or input from peers, you could participate in those ones. I personally liked the structure of class and feel as though I learned a lot about the subject of science, but perhaps even more about myself as a learner. I was able to develop new skills and ways to study in the future. Also, it was helpful in preparing us for doing more independent work in high school.
In the last few months, I’ve moved houses no less than 35 times. I have been threatened, beaten, strip-searched, thrown in prison, tortured and made to watch as my mother knelt weeping at the dirty feet of tribal leaders to beg for any information about my kidnapped father. I have waited at countless checkpoints, praying that no one finds the bread, the money, the schoolbooks, the chocolates I have hidden in my bag, on my body, trying to smuggle them through to people on the other side. I have buried seven husbands, three fiancés, fifteen sons and a two-week old daughter I finally agreed to have at 42 for my husband’s sake, to bring life back to his tongue after we laid our two grown, handsome sons to rest, one after the other, and grief took all his words away. Our daughter did not die because of a bullet or mortar shell or carbomb, like my father, sister, brother, cousin, mother, neighbor, pharmacist, teacher. She died because the siege had cut off not only our food and electricity, but also our medicine and medical supplies. There were no child-size incubators to be found in our city. My husband rushed her slowly asphyxiating body from one hospital to another until he finally found one in the next town over. He left her with the nurses there and came home at dawn, exhausted but joyful in his relief. In the afternoon he went back to bring her home, and was led away from the small pediatric ward and down to the morgue, where her perfect blue body lay among countless others they had not yet found place enough to bury. Her name was Fatma.
It is really tragic but I like the way she started her article by grapping people's emotions and sympathy without telling any information about her and the name of the city and without mentioning the purpose of the article and what she will express later on. I find it interesting when she did not mention the name of the city at the very beginning and she kept focused on addressing the audiences' sympathy first. This reminds me of the reaction of the entire world nowadays towards the recent events in Ukraine which are absolutely heart breaking. Nevertheless, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraqi, and endless list of countries have undergone the same situation for dozen of years and the media and also the world did not show as much interest as they show for Ukraine which is again very sad. I really hate this duality in standards. I would call it bias or prejudice. The reason why some people do not feel any shit towards Palestinian is that they are Arab and they are biased against Arab. Thus, I really like how she started her article and she focused on direct empathy to a human case regardless her nationality and identity because some people when they now that from the beginning, their prejudice might control them and they will start judging and making assumptions. Though the name of the Article include the women of Syria but that does not necessarily mean she will start her article writing about Syria or she herself is a Syrian. Maybe she is writing about other countries and want to reflect ion some events in her country. I don't know to be honest but I felt there might be a reason behind this tragic introduction that lack of details and focused on portraying some dramatic and sad events
told me that people who are for Wyclef are tired of the seasoned politi-cians who keep promising change and don’t deliver. His financial success is another reason why many insist that he will be a leader of a different kind, less likely to engage in corruption
Reminds me of 2016-- people were tired of corrupt politicians
His ideas are dangerous.
Friend 2 is worried that some ideas should not be talked about. Reminds me of the divide over ignorance or knowing being better but with more nuance.
How should it cloy with length of use? She suck’d and suck’d and suck’d the more Fruits which that unknown orchard bore; She suck’d until her lips were sore;
Also reminds me of the Fae and how if you ate from their faery fruit you'd dream of its taste until you die from starvation
For others, though, it was a breathtakingly radical call to cast off the heavy weight of Victorian moralism and Christian doctrine in the name of art.
Reminds me of Jane Eyre, how because she was an "ugly child" she was condemned as a bad and lying kid
“We also have compelling evidence that our core product mechanics, such as vitality, recommendations, and optimizing for engagement, are a significant part of why these types of speech flourish on the platform,” said the 2019 memo.
This reminds me of the internet maxim, "enragement = engagement," used often by journalist Kara Swisher.
I ask them to take responsibility for their own access in my classroom both physically and intellectually, because access is important to me. I ask them to change positions in class if they cannot hear or see me
This reminds me of M. Remi Yergeau's invitation at every presentation I have been to with them where they advocate the same autonomy but note the individualized ways in which this autonomy can bodily manifest...and that those individual ways are okay and supported as being what is good.
I was invited to fly to Boston to work with the students as they developed a unique object to fit the needs of a short-statured body.
This reminds me of Dolmage's work and his advocation that one must consult the constituents/stakeholders before one works to make something more accessible. What one person may find accessible another may not, and it is in the conversation and co-creative process access can really be created.
Faculty and staff power dynamics
This. Reminds me of this tweet:
If you are a prof chiding ppl for talking about your field when they have no background in it, but then giving keynotes/speeches on course design even though ID isn’t your field… maybe consider why it is ok for you to speak on things outside your field but not ok for others?
Each emotion involves a particular pattern of physiological changes. Although Wat-son noted that emotional responses do involve overt movements, he believed that theinternal responses were predominant. Thus, emotion is a form of implicit behavior inwhich internal reactions are evident in physical manifestations, such as blushing, perspi-ration, or increased pulse rate.
Reading statements likes these, reminds me that there are different psychology practices. As someone that wants to be a psychologist, I can't see myself being so oblivious to the idea of humans having non-scientific emotions. In my opinion, emotions are not just a biological reaction to external stimuli.
Positive movies do not necessarily have happy endings; their characters’ personal relationships trump personal achievements; and male and female viewers differ in how they define a character’s accomplishments.
This was enlightening. My reasoning for choosing to dive into my chosen topic of the factors that make a movie great and successful is to find gems like this to help me in my own filmmaking journey. This reminds me of a Bonnie and Clyde type of movie. Regardless of the ending, I (and the audience) put value on them making it out together or dying together as a couple. It really wasn't about what situation they ended up in, it just mattered that they made it out together.
Doran is confirming that in her research. It's about the relationships among the characters more than the ending. Another example would be the Notebook. I was told I needed to watch that movie because it was a classic. In all honesty, it was terrible that they both died at the end. Not a happy ending at all. However, it's considered such a great movie because of the undying love and bond that the two shared.
They are geared towards helping each person in the group grow, kick ass and have as much fun as possible along the way.
This reminds me of something bemoaning the shifting expectations of marriage partners. It's not enough to perform a social role well now; you have to help them fuckin' self-actualize.
Today, people who can’t speak or write because of paralysis have very limited ways of communicating
This reminds me of a child I saw on Facebook, that used his tablet to communicate to his family but the process was slow.
Every time I heard that the principles of data mesh are 'nothing new', it always reminds me of this part of the movie 'Flash of Genius':
nothing new
As Pyburn (Chapter 9) reminds us, we should not mistake poverty for tradition, or deny subaltern communities the opportunity to benefit from modern technology. It is about allowing cultures to thrive as living entities, adopting new practices as they wish, in keeping with their own value system (Koohafkan and Price, Chapter 6).
Reminds me of the idea of the "noble savage". the idealization of "untouched" communities because they have not be corrupted by western civilization/ modern technology
Local knowledge can be branded as obsolete because it is not scientific.
Reminds me of the book Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer about indigenous knowledge
Blackness was on the move before my ancestors were legally free to be. It was on the move before my ancestors even knew what they had. It was on the move because white people were moving it. And the white person most frequently identified as its prime mover is Thomas Dartmouth Rice, a New Yorker who performed as T.D. Rice and, in acclaim, was lusted after as “Daddy” Rice, “the negro par excellence.” Rice was a minstrel, which by the 1830s, when his stardom was at its most refulgent, meant he painted his face with burned cork to approximate those of the enslaved black people he was imitating.
Similar to the Minstrel podcast, which spoke of the "white culture" during Slave America and what it meant to be black during this time period, this part talks about the inaccurate "blackness" that moved "before my ancestors were legally free". This just reminds me that although despised, African Americans really have shaped parts of the "American Culture" which is still seen in full affect today.
consider the grand magasin as a second home, larger, more beautiful, more luxurious than the other, where, as the case may be, she will be able to pass all the time that the concerns of her private life do not take from her, and where she will find about her only friendly faces. .
reminds me of the discussion of the coffeehouse like an extension of the home in Metropolis when talking about Vienna- I wonder if this notion extended to all countries with the spread of the department store, or if cafe culture superseded it some
When you register for an account, you are usually asked to share personally identifiable information, like your name, email address, age, and/or gender. You will also be asked to review and accept the end-user license agreement or terms of service, which may involve giving away even more data, such as your IP address, device information, browser information, geolocation, and Internet browsing data.
This reminds me of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, as well as "The Social Dilemma" Netflix documentary. It is scary how much information that companies have about their consumers, and who they're selling it to. Whether it's to promote political propaganda or to advertise products, they use this information to influence large populations to hand their vote or money over. The misuse and general collecting of data are, in my opinion, not ethical whatsoever. There needs to be better rules established against data practices to protect people, especially children or elderly people who may be more gullible.
Apps and digital tools targeted to teachers as “free” often come with underlying costs. Many tools used in the classroom, such as Canva, a graphic illustrator tool, or Wakelet, a digital curation app, require you to register for an account to use the tool. When you register for an account, you are usually asked to share personally identifiable information, like your name, email address, age, and/or gender. You will also be asked to review and accept the end-user license agreement or terms of service, which may involve giving away even more data, such as your IP address, device information, browser information, geolocation, and Internet browsing data.
I wish this was something of more common knowledge, because I see it all the time. This reminds me of a well known idea that "if you're not paying for the product, you are the product". This is not just a problem with edtech, this is a problem with social medias, free games, and so much more.
Read the Terms of Service or End-User License Agreement
This reminds me of something that most Venmo users do not know. If you have not read the Venmo terms of service, then you would not know that Venmo takes the money that people leave in their Venmo accounts (before you transfer it to your real bank account) and invests it in order to profit. However, if they make a bad investment or if the stock market crashes, or if Venmo is hacked, that money is not protected and you have no rights to it. You will not get it back. If you are a Venmo user, you should immediately transfer any money that you receive into your real bank account.
Learning experiences and environments that are flexible, multimodal, and student centered are more equitable, accessible, and inclusive.
this reminds me of a class I took last semester, which was a special education class in the college of education. in that course, we talked A LOT about UDL, what it is, what it looks like in a classroom, tips and tricks for making education more universal, and more
Many students complained about how long it took to load the tool due to the slow school wifi. The students were frustrated and stressed and too much class time was wasted on figuring out the tool rather than using the tool for learning.
This reminds me of when we had to download a tool in astronomy last semester. The tool was called Stellarium and as soon as everyone was told to download it on their computers, thew wifi stopped working since everyone was downloading a big package all at once. This caused for the downloading of the app to take at least an hour, which meant that the class period and even some time after was being used to just download the tool. Therefore, I understand the struggle of how long some tools take to download and how stressful it can be at the time.
However, most textbookversions of Albert's conditioning suffer from in-accuracies of various degrees.
This reminds me of our first lesson on historiography where there are authors who retell a story but due to biases the story gets misinterpreted and the information may not always be true.
It is not just religion or ethnicity alone that explains each conflict but often the overlay of multiple identities with specific cultural, geographic, and political histories and grievances that may be rekindled under certain conditions.6
reminds me of the definition of genocide
Studies since the 1950s demonstrate the tendency of people to identify with whom they are grouped, no matter how arbitrary or even silly the group boundaries may be, and to judge members of their own group as superior.
This reminds me of the idea of high school where you have "the jocks", "the nerds", "the popular girls", "the other athletes" and "the nobodies". Where one group always sat themselves higher than individuals within one school. Looking at it from a bigger perspective of the world some religions, races, or sexes also find themselves superior to one another. I feel as if this issue however could have risen when society placed families in "social classes" based off their income.
Probably the most influential student of Wertheimer’s was Solomon Asch. He expanded clas al Gestalt. thinking into social psychology and was an active and effective proponent of the Gestalt view in the psychology of memory.
Solomon Asch believed that social acts depended on the setting the person was in. One of his experiments showed that people would change their answers in order to fit in and have the same answer as the rest of the people in the setting. This reminds me of the children I teach, I have observed that when I ask them a question many children will change their answer to their classmate’s response. For example, if I asked them what their favorite color and more than half of the class said purple and the rest said blue; most of the students who said blue would have changed their answer to purple.
s exported through the returning travelers or by the sheer intellectual force of the grand old man of American psychology, Edward Bradford Titchener (a German-trained Englishman)—was the dominant force.
This reminds me of the video we watched last week ,I remember reading that Titchener was considered Wundt’s American ambassador since Titchener studied under Wundt for many years.
In many innovative pedagogies, there’s a power shared between educator and student. Students learn more independently, instead of following a set course of lectures and textbooks from an instructor. In many cases, students thrive in self-directed learning methods, while educators can use lecture time more effectively for discussion and collaborative work.
The idea of incorporating Independent study methods in which students work at their own pace facilitated by the instructor. However the question is if the mode of instruction is different for different students in a class, how is it managed by the instructor? One example could be that in a remote class setting there could be videos posted for some students but for those who don't have access to the internet there would be reference books, notes etc and the performance will be assessed accordingly. With students coming from such different backgrounds in Higher Education, I can see this going ahead as it will bridge the different cultural and educational gaps that are a part of it. This reminds me of ‘Individualized studies’ programs offered at Hennepin Technical college that offers a two year degree and Metrostate that offers a Bachelors. The difference is that it is a personalized curriculum instead of pedagogy.
And the very spirit of Satan seemed suddenly to take hold of him in his dealings with the slaves. Désirée was miserable enough to die.
This reminds me of "The Yellow Wallpaper" because during this time the happiness of a woman almost completely depended on the happiness of her husband. She says that it seems like Satan has taken control over him and she could die because she is so unhappy. It's just another example of the discrimination towards women and how they were only allowed to feel a certain way when her husband feels that way. Him being away from home and being angry all the time was probably something she wasn't even allowed to discuss with others so she just bottles it up.
“Well, it’s Open Source, I guess I could go download the source code… but… meh, it’s so far out of my way, not worth it,” and the urge fizzles out. I think that a lot of potential human creativity is being wasted this way.
This reminds me of physical tinkering, like building or fixing your own small furniture. That's also hard with the products we often buy today -- it's difficult to fix minature electronics which are meant to be replaced.
But with software (esp. open source) it could be easier, as everyone can have the same tools. I very much resonate with the idea of tinkering more and using less standards.

McKittrick reminds me to wonder what is geography? (Going to present at American Assc of Geographers this weekend): per Merriam Webster:
Definition of geography
1 : a science that deals with the description, distribution, and interaction of the diverse physical, biological, and cultural features of the earth's surface 2 : the geographic features of an area 3 : a treatise on geography 4a : a delineation or systematic arrangement of constituent elements : configuration the philosophers … have tried to construct geographies of human reason — Times Literary Supplement b : makeup sense 1 her emotional geography
This is a call tore-approach housing in its use-value, without foreclosing the possibility ofradical theory and practice in the dominant (often generalizing) theorizingaround its exchange-value. From the ground of use-value–of what hous-ingdoesfor people–the‘radicality’of resistance against housing precarityis not defined a-priori, but traced as it emerges from uncanny places, unin-habitable‘homes’and multiple violent histories.
This reminds me of what we looked at in our Puerto Rico trip with the goal of relocating people into housing developments that fail regularly. The people will move back to the precarious situation they once resided in because the new environments didn't reach their expectations or goals.
Just because a proposition leads to some unfavorable result does not mean that it is false.
This one is a bit difficult for me to understand. It seems to me that good arguments can often be made under this fallacy. This is somewhat cleared up in the final sentence of the page but it is still a bit confusing. I think it is saying that not all arguments are good because of the ends, there is more involved. This reminds me a bit of the old saying "the ends justify the means", though this passage is in obvious contradiction.

This reminds me of finding sustenance because it shows how the mothers made the risk to jump borders and go somewhere different and unique.

This reminds me of when I was in New Mexico with my Mom and brother and thee was this local shop owned by a guy and his family. We visited many times and he told us that three legged ceramic pigs were good luck.

This phrase reminds me of the Koul's "There's No Recipe for Growing Up" because she constantly asked for her mother's advice on proportions to no avail.
There is an Asian guy blowing his girlfriend’s mind, introducing her to a whole new world of avors and textures. He shows herhow to eat mul naengmyeon, a cold noodle soup that tastes better if you add vinegar and hot mustard rst.
This reminds me of Akbar's "How I Found Poetry In Childhood Prayer" because of the aspect of teaching and learning from someone.
The notion is absurd, because it not only asks that teachers be replaced by machines but creates an environment in which students must also become like machines in order to succeed.
This reminds me of a book I read on public school systems. Our public school system runs as it did from the industrial revolution. We deliver information and teach kids as if it were an assembly line. This worked at the time, because students were often working towards factory or manual labor jobs. Our world today is nowhere near this same dynamic and yet, the public school system has bsrely changed, as if studetns are still on an assembly line. This article poses an interesting question though, on the other extreme, we prepare students for the technological world we live in by treating them like technologies themselves. Once again, education is missing the mark of meaningful human learning!
According to him, the boy-hero and his girlfriend were having a spat. In a fit of anger, he locked her in the car and then set it ablaze. Almost immediately he had second thoughts, and so he smashed the passenger side window and hauled her out.
This reminds me of a case in my business law class
Disability Services, offer up their diagnosis, and have that diagnosis matched with a stock set of accommodations. This foregrounding of diagnosis gets at what Ellen Samuels cal
Again, this reminds me of my Bar Exam experience. When I applied for the exam, there were no accommodations. This meant I was refused accommodations automatically. I successfully called the Dept. of Civil Rights to have pressure put on the state bar. Now there is a application process, and I'm told most applicants are denied accommodation-not on any reasonable basis.
“lawsuits waiting to happen.”
This reminds me of an OpEd by Dr Dot Nary; she writes about being bone-tired of having to be the one who complains about accessibility or lack thereof in order for others to become aware or compliant.
Ethnic Studies Pedagogy as CxRxPx
When I first read about the Ethnic Studies Pedagogy as CxRxPx my first thought was when I see Rx it reminds me of prescriptions that people pick up at the pharmacy to take. In this way it's important to "take" Cx, Rx and Px and add them to our system, add these tools and necessitates we take and need within the classroom.
Friend Indian
The term "Friend Indian" reminds me of the 'reformations' and 'reeducation' Indigenous people were forced to undergo. The term implies that once the Indian conforms to western standards he can become a friend like the typical man "walking down Boston."
Although he refused to retire, he was aware that he was called in only for hopeless cases, but he considered this a form of specialization too.
reminds me of rural medicine and shortage of physicians as Dr. Urbino is 81 years of age
Rather than the "Westward Movement" or "Men and
This reminds me of an issue that was discussed in my global studies class. Often times, history is told from a Westernized perspective and limits the representation of a global history. This results from the fact that public education has enforced the idea of presenting the “West” as being a dominant and superior power over other inferior cultures and diverse communities. As a result, this limits the accurate representation of the authentic experiences of ethnic minorities and creates a global history that is primarily influenced by the efforts of the “West.” Therefore, it is important for public institutions to change their curriculum and allow for the inclusion of diverse cultures in students education.
major assumption of multicultural education is that some groups of students-because their cultural characteristics are more consistent with the culture, norms, and expectations of the school than are those of other groups of students-have greater opportunit
This reminds me of a previous reading regarding how first-generation students are more likely to place a larger emphasis on their education than second-generation students. I think that this statement can be valid to a certain extent because first-generation students may have more support from their family to succeed in their education because they are sacrificing many factors to ensure that their children have an opportunity to succeed. However, this is also extremely dependent on individual circumstances of each student. Students that are second-generation may have an advantage in their academic opportunities because they have become familiarized with American language and culture. As a result, this may lead to second-generation students having a higher likelihood of succeeding in the social capital aspect of their education. However, first-generation students may face additional challenges when transitioning from a different ethnic environment and culture.
Zwier, 2012). Teachers cannot comprehensively understand the beha
This reminds me of a previous reading that emphasized the importance of teachers becoming aware of the cultural diversity in the classroom. Often times, teachers have traditionally made assumptions based on a student’s racial identity which categorizes students into certain stereotypes and impacts their ability to academically succeed. If teachers became more familiarized with the cultural practices of their students, they could find better solutions that are personalized to each individual student. This would ultimately improve the interactions that students have with their teachers during instruction and help them identify certain limitations that impact their ability to engage with their education.
People began to feel that tech companies were not just neutral hosts; they bore some responsibility for what their algorithms circulated.
This sentiment reminds me of the learning materials that we read through in Module 4 regarding Facebook knowing that teen girls were suffering from what algorithms were suggesting them. We even read this week that when it comes to shifting algorithms to stop suggesting misinformation, social media companies "want to do the right thing, but don’t follow through because it hurts engagement on the platform" (Van der Linden, 2021).
every man against every man
This reminds me of like a safari, where every animal must protect itself, because at any given time that animals can become someones prey.
this reminds me of the story the Tortoise and the Hare. The strongest person may think they don't have to try as hard because they are stronger but they are wrong. The "weaker" person has to think logically and keeps going because what else do they have to lose.
The first makes men invade for •gain
Reminds me of the European barbarism in the conquest of this continent and how we celebrate a national holiday that is centered on the genocide of indigenous people.
So that in the nature of man, we find three principa
For some reasons this reminds me of the 3 G’s linked to European colonialism exploration/imperialism: Gold, God, & Glory. Gold was to increase the wealth of the nation, & whoever discovered it first in the New World would be deemed superior which reflects on competition. God was a motivation in terms of escaping religious persecution which can be linked to distrust & then Glory was found in the expansion of one’s empire which ultimately related to more territory= more power. The parallel is quite fascinating.
the weakest man is strong enough to kill the strongest, eitherby a secret plot or by an alliance with others who are in thesame danger that he is in.
This reminds me of certain movies or tv shows where the characters underestimate the weakest person. And they end up being the ones that come up on top.
Every man wants his associates to value himas highly as he values himself;
This is very true. I believe we should not allow people to look at us, talk about us or undermine us in ways we wouldn't talk about ourselves. It reminds me of the saying, if you wouldn't want it said or done to you don't say or do it to others.

Almost reminds me of news stations consistently using the word "alleged" and then proceed to show a video of the literal crime being committed. smh.
It was a strategy of deliberate opacity that letthe company hide its fraud in plain sight, legally speaking (confusedstock analysts mainly stayed mum for fear they’d be laughed out of theirjobs).
This is actually hilarious and reminds me of when politicians use big words to cause enough confusion to hide what they're actually doing.
It’s expensive to fly. You burn out. You fry the machine. You melt the engine.
Good use of 'analogy' and something I had never considered before reading. It reminds me of some old Neil Young lyrics: "It's better to burn out than fade away." As an engineer, I can relate to the analogies the author uses.

Race switching (see Wilton, Sanchez, & Garcia, 2013) allows individuals to identify and de-identify with different parts of their identity. This process of identification and de-identification is often dictated by the constraints or opportunities in the social milieu.
This author's term is accurate, and it reminds me a lot of how I've interacted with people throughout my life. Since I was ten years old, I've occasionally considered myself fortunate to be biracial since I was able to "race switch" depending on who I was with. Though "race switching" may appear to be a negative trait, it actually helped me to be more versatile and appealing to the people I met. I appreciate the author opening this essay with this topic since it removes the notion that being biracial is a character flaw. Lastly, throughout the rest of this term I hope to shine light on the positives of being biracial rather than the negatives.
It was the secrets of heaven and earth that I desired to learn; and whether it was the outward substance of things or the inner spirit of nature and the mysterious soul of man that occupied me, still my inquiries were directed to the metaphysical, or in its highest sense, the physical secrets of the world.
This reminds me of "the sublime"
He believed, however, that our physical bodies are gov-erned by the laws of nature. Thus, whereas purpose is a mentalphenomenon, it is physically realized in the systems of naturalphenomena and laws.
This reminds me of the law of attraction which states that the energy you exude or feel, manifests into physical. Most people have heard of the book *The Secret * but what most people do not know is that it is based on science. It seems that this could be one of the early developments of these laws

This reminds me of the other article I read that said .....
What has been said and what can be said about Venus take for granted the traffic between fact, fantasy, desire, and violence.
this reminds me again of an attempt to view history and reality in a narrative way or account narratively when sometimes reality isn't meant to be a story but is just wrongness.
For me, narrating counter-histories of slavery has always been inseparable from writing a history of present, by which I mean the incomplete project of freedom, and the precarious life of the ex-slave, a condition defined by the vulnerability to premature death and to gratuitous acts of violence.12
It reminds me of last week's Sharpe reading about these slaves still existing in the present, namely as atoms at the bottom of the ocean. Here, it is unfortunately the experience of violence which bridges the gap between the past and the present, and informs present struggles for freedom
This reminds me of when I watched a sociology lecture on how Indigenous peoples have totally different cultures and don't see themselves as similar, but Europeans just clumped them together anyway.
enhances our understanding of how race, gender, and sexuality were formed in British Atlantic slave societies and how these constructions of identity directed and influenced the life experiences of urban enslaved women
This reminds me of the discourse surrounding intersectionality.
language of criminality.
Tangent point but reminds me of when Tocqueville discussed criminal laws in his essays (Democracy in America) he mentioned it as firmly rooted in and from the old world, something that is inflexible and carries the mentality of oppression. Reading it together with this, it is as if that the mentality behind those code still persist beyond just colonial age to today when we consider criminality. What's the boundary between civil and criminal laws and how much of it, still are "structures built on racial and gendered subjugation and spectacles of terror." A question, I think, much lingered on even today.
What you did on the internet would become intertwined with what everyone else did, and the things other people liked would become the things that you would see.
This reminds me of social media more so than the Internet.

The structuring process of editing suppresses someinterpretations while it emphasizes —and manufactures—others. Importantaspects of a subject’s experience or perspective may remain silenced
This reminds me of how heavily edited Mary Prince's narrative, about her experience as a slave, was so that her audience, a court and white people, weren't made uncomfortable
While we respond to this griefthrough participation in AIDS organizing and political struggle, the airingof this film was a dramatic reminder of how rarely the U.S. public allowsor recognizes the articulation of this pain.1
this reminds me of the pose episode we watched in class once because they touched on AIDS (if i remember correctly) but i feel like the U.S. public saw this crisis as a burden created by gay men rather than actually acknowledge the pain, grieving, and suffering people were going through
The making of the film, rather than the taking of his pills, is the way to enhance, if not prolong, his life
This reminds me of Shakespeare's Sonnet (#1 i think) that immortalizes the beauty of the lover through writing

This is an idiom used to signify almost impossible odds and signifies that it is very unlikely to happen. This is describing how Brandon might have felt how impossible him reaching his goals were. This could be due too the many songwriters rising at the time and competition with other bigger, bands and he felt that the odds were against him but he kept on pushing and finally made his way to the top, overcoming all the odds and let himself known. This makes me reflect on the theme of underdogs and how brandon felt smaller and outmatched by the odds but pressed on, until he reached his goals. This reminds me of a time that i had an assignment in tuition and i did not think that i could score higher than my higher level peers. But i pulled through and got highest in class. I understand the feeling of the odds being stacked up against you and empathise with him.
n Vertigo, subjective camera predominates. Apart from one flash-back from Judy's point of view, the narrative is woven around what Scottie sees or fails to see. The audience follows the growth of his erotic obsession and subsequent despair precisely from his point of view. Scottie's voyeurism is blatant: he falls in love with a woman he follows and spies on without speaking to.
Reminds me of the story/movie Lolita where the audience sees the world through the eye of the pedophile
she can exist only in relation to castration and cannot transcend it
this reminds me of Wittig's piece through the way both writers recognize the way in which women always live in relation to something else and not in relation to themselves
To summarize briefly:
this sentence is giving me Sigmund Freud vibes by the way it's written and what it means, talking about how a woman feels about her real absence of a penis reminds me of his penis envy theory

Reminds me of Orwell's War is Peace. By being in perpetual war, the citizens are united against a common enemy, thus alluding to peace
Traditionalism implies the rejection of modernism.

In 1942, at the age of ten, I received the First Provincial Award of Ludi Juveniles (avoluntary, compulsory competition for young Italian Fascists
Age ten is very young and it reminds me of the movie Jojo Rabbit. The movie takes place during the fall of Nazi Germany from the point of view of a 10 year old boy. He was in a junior group of the Hitler Youth. Controlled information fed to the young will usually result in blind loyalty.
GUF, the fascist university students' association,
Reminds me of groups like SDS & SNCC which were student-organized groups fighting what they believed in. Protests would occur on campus, like the youth at Kent State who were an anti-war movement. The youth really have the power/influence for any political movement to spread or cease.
In my country today there are those who are saying that the myth of the Resistance was aCommunist lie
This reminds me of how BB/The Party said all Goldstein did was spread lies and made him out to be the evil/bad guy. The Party wanted to ensure everyone stayed in line and even made up their own "myth of resistance" to keep the supported flowing for BB
the age of ten
This kind of reminds me of The Hunger Games, as Rue, was just a young girl as well forced to participate in something so ruthless. At this age you can't really comprehend what's going on you just obey the authority figures around you.
and the ladies neither notice nor reject the slighter pleasures of their slavery.
I this this section speaks to the fact that white women have often benefitted from white supremacy and slavery. Often arguing for more rights for themselves however ignoring and even finding it okay that Black people were subjected to that kind of oppression. it reminds me of susan b Anthony who was quite a vile racists but her past is sanitized just because she helped white women gain the right to vote.
anger
The usage of the word "anger" reminds me of the connection to the feminist rage and second wave feminism that Audre Lorde was a part of.
the top 1 percent of accounts were responsible for 35 percent of all observed interactions; the top 3 percent were responsible for 52 percent.

Ms. López begins to understand that Yamaira has an inquisitive historical mind, even though she is struggling with reading the textbook.
Ms. Lopez was always there for Yamaira whenever she needed help or she wasn't understanding a concept. This reminds me of my middle school history teacher who was there to support me when I wasn't doing so great in class. There is always a big impact that teachers make on students whether it is good or bad.
'The sight of the rooms below and of the gratings above filled me both with melancholy and horror. I found soon afterwards a fire of indignation kindling within me…'
The description reminds me of what would traditionally be considered a cargo hold in old ships, which attests to the horrible conditions these people were put through.
umbaba said, 'Enkidu, what you have spoken is evil: you, a hireling, dependent for your bread! In envy and for fear of a rival you have spoken evil words.' Enkidu said, ‘Do not listen, Gilgamesh: this Humbaba must die. Kill Humbaba first and his servants after
Humbaba reminds me a lot of Goliath, and since he tried to trick Enkidu, maybe cunning like the devil.
A life
from here to the end of this paragraph, it reminds me a lot of Wittig's piece because it talks about the way the straight mind has created this heteronormative customs and behaviors that becoming the ruling forces in society
The mestizo continues to be a key figure in this history, often illustrative of the ambivalence structuring the origin and location of particular human characteristics, as well as their perceived strengths and fragilities.
Really interesting. I wonder to what degree the celebration of mestizaje was about the whitening of the population, away from Indigeneity, and to what degree it was really about celebrating racial mixtures. This reminds me of questions within Black eugenic thought of the early 20th century, with authors such as Pauline Hopkins celebrating racially mixed people/characters as the "highest" types (though she does have some non-mixed eugenically superior Black characters as well).
Within and between these increasingly structured domains, ‘memory agents’ and remembering agency can

The Cycle of Oppression reminds me of the cycle of poverty. I think that in this reading they are explained similarly and I believe that they are in fact related. The cycle of poverty is created by unfair discrimination, which has been impacting people for generations just like oppression.
These are the asterisked histories of slavery, of property, of thingification, and their afterlives. I can’t help but see that word “risk” in “asterisk.” And to link that risk and those asterisked histories to the seas and to the beginnings of the insurance trade subtended by a trade in Africans.
this reminds me of the reading we did about how extinction is a dangerous word but now I am also thinking about afterlives that are not extinctions but become thingifcations... and that's relationship to the cycle of consumption / that is consuming and eating up histories in context of insurable risk/ which is to say: say the history of slavery and genocide and "extinctions" , the deaths acquired through these historical processes are being viewed in terms of life insurance-- let them happen/ protect against death- and maybe you'll receive cashback
Victims of bullying
its reminds me of old days in school were the children was bullying at me because of me hair was a little mess .
As homework, students were tasked with identifying and explaining in writing another example of heteronormativity they encoun-tered that day. When the students returned to class, they were surprised and generally indignant about their dis-coveries, responses similar to those they’d had while looking at the advertisements. One student talked about the heteronormative organization of the chil-dren’s clothing section at Target. Another furiously waved her phone where she had saved an article from social media that listed TV shows recommended for “girls.” A third student was up in arms about another teacher’s heteronormative comments about middle school students’ interests
I'm glad that this was brought up as a homework assignment because once you are aware of WHAT heteronormativity is, you see it everywhere. I like how the third student talked about how another teacher's behaviors/comments were listed as an example of "gendering" or pushing heteronormativity when it comes to students' interests. It kind of hits close to home where I'm from in southern West Virginia because there have been some teacher comments that are questionable, especially if a dude says that they are not a fan of sports. It also reminds me how a lot of dudes don't know how to cook - and I personally know guys who have told me this - because it was taught to them that cooking was something that women did, not men. That was not taught in my family, so I thought it was so odd
establising
This reminds me of the Silicon Valley buzz word "disruption." Part of the mythology of Big Data is that it will disrupt (rather than value) the ways of approaching reality/challenges/communities/scholarship that have come before.
the journalist yearned to be accepted among the local educated eliteand viewed Candomblé as an outdated practice, incompatible with“progressivethinking”(Graden 1998: 59).

Perhaps it is just the personification of household appliances, but this bit reminds me a lot of Caroline or Change, whose cast includes a washing machine and a dryer. Interestingly, that musical also deals with a woman's unraveling mental state, although it does not share the same sexual themes and plot.
indictments of assimilation to a white feminist agenda
This reminds me of "The Combahee River Collective Statement" made in 1977.
Black feminists found difficulty challenging sexism within the leadership of the Civil Rights movement, and pretty much forced to choose a side (fight racism or sexism). They found it difficult to relate to white feminism which did not have an intersectional lens (and still have that issue).
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
Throughout the poem there is a lot of emphasis on tangible, concrete things, especially the body. It reminds me (a little) of Frankenstein, the emphasis on creation and fear and beauty.
Why were the police there? Why did the police use force? And why this force? Who is responsible?
this reminds me of how even though there really isn't police on USC campus, i believe there used to be (or maybe still is) a time where some DPS carried weapons
This is why sexual work is still one ofthe main occupations for women and prostitution under-lines every sexual encounter.
this also reminds me of how men are deemed as the most sexual beings, glorify sex so much, and are the very first people to ever seek it out (even if they have to forcefully take it from someone) but they're the very first ones to have something to say about sex work
The same

this reminds me of the same perspective i used to have. housework didn't seem like an important thing to me really but when my little brother was born, i saw the amount of work it takes to be a caretaker and a mom. i then realized this is a lot more labor and also then, the pandemic put more emphasis on house work
eace comes dropping slow,
This is what's great about poetry, because in this case, the author mentions that he 'shall have peace there", and it will come slowly. To me, this reminds me of the why many of us seek nature for peace. Living our daily lives as busy as we do, it may take a minute to actually feel that peace. Also, I can't emphasize enough just how much this reminds of Walden by Thoreau.
Their Beef here is very well tasted, and good, unless when Guinea Hen weed rises in the Savannas, which is immediately after Rains, or when they are so parch’d that Cattle can find nothing else to feed on, this having a very deep Root, and being then green.
The dutiful calculation of all the things that they offer is so interesting and it reminds me so much of the other reading we had to do this weekend. I can't stop thinking about the danger of the word "extinction" and how by using it, it's easy to place the problem in the past as something settled and gone. But also the sentiment that.colonization and the colonized can never really be extinct because the effects and the current understanding of different species and the land stemmed from colonization among other reasons
flesh’d
Reminds me that at start of the book, extensive remarks were made about the abundance of sun and light that gives great produces that are not white and tender--it seems this standard carries over to visual aspects of judging produce in the new world, and in a way, materializes and transforms things into commodities and to be seen only as that, rather than their actual usefulness and relationship to the people living off of them.
the West-Indies, &c. one shall meet with Words, and Names of Things, one has no Notion or Conception of:
This reminds me of what I read elsewhere about Saussure and structuralism in linguistics: that language and words often create the realities we share. In a way, the perspective and perception of the people that were annihilated by colonists now perceive the world like the colonists, yet are constantly forced out of that perception by that same category of language and perception of reality (Bentham's Principle of Utility breaks down here?). The more personal connections that were supposedly there before aren't present, or, extinct, in a way.

reminds me of the song, "old age" by nirvana/hole
3. Jennifer Lopez's #InTheMorningChallenge
Jennifer Lopez's dance challenge reminds me a bit of what Drake uses to promote his brand. Drake released a video for his song "Toosie Slide" which featured dance moves he had specifically worked on with the intention of going viral. He enlisted the help of several influential people to post videos of them dancing along to the song which resulted in the dance going viral on TikTok which only further promoted his music and brand. Jennifer Lopez and Drake are great examples of talented musicians who are also great digital marketers.
Resting on their wings, she saw them all gather: loons, otters, swans, beavers, fish of all kinds. A great turtle floated in their midst and offered his back for he
I think this shows the uniqueness of earth, that although there is a lot wrong with it, people are always willing to help one another. The famous saying, 'it takes a village to raise a child', reminds me of this scene because every animal had come together to hold her above the water so that she wouldn't drown. Moreover, unity creates bonds stronger than most forces, and the togetherness present in this scene represents the new worlds hope that was previously hinted at.
The defining narrative of our online moment concerns the decline of text, and the exploding reach and power of audio and video.
This reminds me that our generation’s attention spans are very low, and maybe that is why.
One study from Duke University estimated that habits, rather than conscious decision-making, shape 45 percent of the choices we make every day
reminds me of the discussion around choice architecture
“ … Coldest … on earth,” was all I heard. My pencil etched shaggy marks as my shaking hands attempted to write something in the 20 seconds remaining.
this reminds me of the geography bee
I like to call myself and be called fat
right off the rip, this reminds me of how black people prefer to be called black instead of African American (simply because not all black people are African) and I think it's the same idea with fatness - not everyone is unhealthily heavy set so I think the term 'fat' is more simplified to fit those who fit the spectrum of fatness
asteland and an impenetrable barrier to cultural exchange between black and whit
Did this have advantages to a certain extent? It reminds me how past people called an icy terrain Greenland and a bountiful terrain Iceland though there to deter people from coming to exploit Greenland of its fruits.
The Saharan texts, however, have been rarely subjected to systematic recording and publication.17 In the absence of any bilingual texts, the translation of Saharan inscriptions is extremely difficult.
This reminds me of Essi Catherine comment in which she said that African texts should be preserved by writing them down in comparison to oral history. I wonder how many stories, identities, and lives we have lost because we have not recorded them.
It has long been suggested that Nilo-Saharan languages might correlate with barbed bone points, the so-called "Aqualithic" (35). Fig. 3 superimposes the sites of known barbed bone points on a map of current Nilo-Saharan languages, showing a remark able similarity in spatial distribution, and also a notable corre spondence with Holocene distribution of large aquatic species
It is very interesting how language interacts with our surroundings. This reminds me of the Hmong who use whistles in their speech.
Each word had a particular sign, a species of mark; the last were very complicated
This reminds me of the episode on memory from the Netflix doc. 'The Mind, Explained" where they describe how memory competitors practice by taking numbers and converts them to narratives while using a 'memory palace' to sequence the events which helps them remember the very long lists of numbers.
s on the contrary your enemy, that you should love him as yourself.
This reminds me of the saying keep your friend's close and your enemy closer
They tagged the posts #BOO and linked to a website that sold a product called Black Oxygen Organics.
This reminds me of the required social media posts that LuLaRoe representatives had to make in order to show off their products. They would post pictures of themselves, their children, the nice cars that they were able to buy, and parties that they hosted, promoting an "affluent" and glamorized lifestyle that they would attribute to their work with LuLaRoe. I highly recommend the Amazon Prime documentary "LuLaRich" for anyone who is interested in examining misinformation in MLMs.
But unlike people in her new BOO Facebook group who posted miraculous testimonials of cured diseases, weight loss, clearer skin, whiter teeth, regrown hair, reclaimed energy, expelled worms and even changes in eye color (from brown to blue), Wong didn’t feel like any toxins were leaving her body. In fact, she started having stomach pains.
This reminds me of how people were trying to use Ivermectin, an anti-parastic drug, in lieu of getting the COVID-19 vaccine and were getting very sick or even dying because they were overdosing on it to prevent something that the drug wasn't intended to be used for. Also, it's impossible to "naturally" change your eye color. Sure, you can have surgery or wear contacts, but drinking a supplement can't change your genetics. Additionally, praising the change of your eye color from brown to blue reeks of European white-washed beauty standards, so that's an issue in its own right.
“the end product and smallest particle of the decomposition of ancient, organic matter.”
This description ought to raise a few questions. I specifically want to know what is considered "ancient, organic matter". The entire statement reminds me of a sentence that someone would use to try and woo you with simple, but alluring, words. That aside, I can see why others would think this product sounds exciting. They definitely want to use as many words and phrases as possible to explain what dirt is without calling it 'dirt' directly.
And if that entity shares human values, it can allow human values to flourish unconstrained by natural law. I realize that sounds like hubris – it certainly did to Hurlock – but I think it’s the opposite of hubris, or at least a hubris-minimizing position. To expect God to care about you or your personal values or the values of your civilization, that’s hubris. To expect God to bargain with you, to allow you to survive and prosper as long as you submit to Him, that’s hubris. To expect to wall off a garden where God can’t get to you and hurt you, that’s hubris. To expect to be able to remove God from the picture entirely… well, at least it’s an actionable strategy. I am a transhumanist because I do not have enough hubris not to try to kill God.
I get the argument ... and I don't agree with it.
Aside: i would love some editing on these posts. It reminds me of that aphorism: "sorry this letter is so long, i didn't have the time to make it short"
my best friend’s baby who’s talking now
Reminds me of the seasonality of human development and how we can change so much a short span of time.
BIPOC care about conservation, we want to be involved in creating a better natural world for future generations. We shouldn’t each feel like the reason to persist is ‘because who else will if I don’t’. We want to be embraced for our contributions and our perspectives
This internal fight to leave or to commit reminds me of the by-stander effect. BIPOC face their history and nature being threatened, but there's the internal conflict of whether its worth the fight. Not if it matters- but if its worth putting ones lifetime into. With all the pain, money, time, discrimination, and racism faced, is it worth it? In the end, it always go back to the individual when it comes to the perseverance while participating in conservation. But the prize with the perseverance, is their own unique perspective and culture brought into their work community and field.
When BIPOC are threatened for simply being outside, we cannot say that the field of conservation welcomes diversity. Indeed, evidence of failures to make conservation inclusive abound
Its ironic that in an organization that values diversity so highly, there can be such ignorance of diversity. It just reminds me of our contradictory nature as people.
3 dimensional world into a 2 dimensional plane
reminds me of the painting of a pipe - "its not actually a pipe"
We are constantly surrounded by images and texts that are supposed to trigger reactions. Hall stated that “We must recognize that the discursive form of the message has a privileged position in the communicative exchange… and that the moments of ‘encoding’ and ‘decoding,’ though only ‘relatively autonomous’ in relation to the communicative process as a whole, are determinate moments” (Hall, 1973). Hall argues that though media is encoding with one meaning, each one of us interacts with our media in different ways.
This reminds me of a theory I came across while reading Dan Ariely's 'Predictably Irrational'. "We are constantly surrounded by images and texts that are supposed to trigger reactions." -- The human brain is irrational in nature, and is subject to the natural phenomena of ‘imprinting’ which implies that our first impression or perception of a certain object or entity (which Ariely refers to as an anchor) has the power to influence future decisions we make relating to that object or entity. In terms of markets and prices for example, although initial prices we pay or are subject to are arbitrary in nature, they shape present and future prices and decisions because they become established anchors in the minds of consumers. Similarly, a message promoted by Colgate in its advertisement for toothpaste, is bound to influence the way we decode every other advertisement about toothpaste in relation to it. This phenomena, called the "Arbitrary Coherence Theory" is therefore actually the root cause of the disparity in encoding and decoding messages, and can be applied to everything from a fiction book, to a ted-talk about success. We never view anything in absolute, and therefore it is impossible to decode a message someone is delivering to us in absolute terms too.
In your text, treat Africa as if it were one country. It is hot and dusty with rolling grasslands and huge herds of animals and tall, thin people who are starving
This reminds me of the discussion we had in class last week about preconceptions on the Sahara. The fact in this age of modernization, technology and internet, many people still think of Africa as a country, of Africans as people living the jungle, with animals (I have friends who have been asked this), or of the Sahara as no man's land shows how powerful historical accounts can be and how important it is then to be as accurate as possible.
Parental education and SES
not related but this reminds me of research papers reporting that parental education and SES can have an effect on suicidal rate of children
that "hee that will forget God will alsoe forget
This reminds me of EH 321 - advanced grammar - and how we learned to spell things phonetically
Social capital can be conceived of as an asset that arises from and enables the use of networks existing in a community in such a way that norms of trust and reciprocity are promoted.C166
reminds me of utility coins from crypto networks that facilitate the usage of the network
Cosmopolitan localism fosters a global network of mutually supportive communities (neighbourhoods, villages, towns, cities and regions) who share and exchange knowledge, ideas, skills, technology, culture and (where socially and ecologically sustainable) resources.
reminds me of the agora
Moving beyond text alone, one might also include the Zen-inflected compositional ideas of John Cage or the choreographic approaches of Merce Cunningham.
This reminds me of "Listen to Wikipedia," a live site that turns edits into a very zen soundtrack! http://listen.hatnote.com/
Even if a text is above a student’s reading level, that doesn’t mean it’s above their comprehension level.
This idea reminds me of the Chapter 2 presentation I did for Reading Strategies of Math Textbooks. This article says "If the text is above the students' reading level..." My presentation basically said you can count on the Math textbook being above their reading level because a math textbook is formatted differently than any other book. A math textbook is not easy reading.
Similarly, to the idea of math teachers need to think aloud for solving problems, math teachers should read aloud the reading techniques so students can practice better habits on their own.
For example, consider the linear system in Example 1.2.3 x+3y+6z=252x+7y+14z=582y+5z=19x+3y+6z=252x+7y+14z=582y+5z=19\begin{array}{c} x+3y+6z=25 \\ 2x+7y+14z=58 \\ 2y+5z=19 \end{array}\nonumber This system can be written as an augmented matrix, as follows ⎡⎣⎢⎢1203726145255819⎤⎦⎥⎥
This reminds me of my other stem classes when I have multiple unknown variables and I had to put them into the calculator to get i,j, and k. I never knew how the process worked until reading it.
How can 'mere' matter, properly configured, manage to be conscious? Are chimpanzees or elephants conscious? Can a computer be conscious?
This reminds me of Godel, Escher, Bach.
Applied anthropologists are employed outside of academic settings, in both the public and private sectors, including business or consulting firms, advertising companies, city government, law enforcement, the medical field, nongovernmental organizations, and even the military
reminds me a little of sociology
A cultural anthropologist studying marriage in a small village in India might consider local gender norms, existing family networks, laws regarding marriage, religious rules, and economic requisites in order to understand the particular meanings of marriage in that context
this reminds me of the cultural anthropology course here at Berg and the focus on how to approach different cultures in different parts of the world
building a model, reflect-ing on it, debugging and sharing.
This reminds me of Dine College's Educational Philosophy with is Sa'ah Naaghai Bik'eh Hozhoo which has to do with thinking or goal setting, planning or plan ahead, living or have a satisfactoring academic progress and finally assuring or preparing for future success.
This philosophy has helped me with my educational journey, because I have always followed this outline when I first enrolled with Navajo Technical University back in the Fall of 2015.
The strikes made have only a distant relation to the set-up in the rest of the world.
here, Jastrow offfers that experimental pyschology does not represent real life scenarios and as such is not an indicator of efficacy. he goes on to mention that having measurable outcomes does not necessarily make it significant. this reminds me of Kant's position about science and psychology, that science is not needed to study mental states,and neither could it be measured by mathematics.
But the favorites of a tyrant can never feel entirely secure,and the less so because he has learned from them that he is allpowerful and unlimited by any law or obligation. Thus it becomeshis wont to consider his own will as reason enough, and to be master of all with never a compeer
In just a moment, a tyrant could kill or get ride of their close adviser, even if they were useful, such as Hitler's Night of the Long Knives. It also reminds me of Trump constantly turning over personnel in his White House as his temper and mood shifted constantly, threatening those who even still aligned with him.

I've finished [[read]]ing [[Clarice Lispector]]'s [[Uma aprendizagem ou o livro dos prazeres]].
This reminds me that I only learnt 1-2w ago that Clarice Lispector wrote in Portuguese -- my partner told me. I've never read anything by her, but I was surprised about how little I know about her. I intend to correct this -- what's a good place to start, if you have one off the top of your head?
