    1. 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?

    1. Concepts are not "psychical formations" at all; if we psychologise them, we discover only their substitutes in consciousness, spoken or written words, accompanied by a vague and indeterminate feeling.[27] Judgments, in the same way, belong to logic, and not primarily to psychology; logic and psychology approximate only as a result of the parallel growth, long continued, of conceptual thinking and its expression in language; our "conscious psychological [p. 116] processes" consist originally of nothing more than ideas and their connections.[28]

      This reminds me of the human-animal experiments that was briefly stated above. This could be the start of the need to understand people in their thoughts and actions. Having the basic knowledge that things in life can change over time and that applies to the intellectual basis within psychology.

    1. " Cultural Imperialism involves the universalization of a dominant group's experience and culture, and its establishment as the norm."

      This quote reminds me of something I see quite often on social media: nose jobs. Nose jobs are very common present day among young girls. They feel uncomfortable embracing their ethnic noses and feel the need to have them redone to look like more like a "European" nose( nose with a narrow bridge). European noses are the "norm".

    2. Someone who does not see a pane of glass does not know that he does not see d. Someone who, being placed differently, does see it does not know the other does not see it.

      I love the beginning of this, it reminds me of the color of the sky argument. If someone says the sky is red, but you see the sky as blue, how can you tell them what they are seeing is wrong? For you may be seeing blue, but you can not look through their eyes, so you can not say what they are seeing is incorrect, only that you do not see the same color that they are seeing. But then it gets even trickier, because we do not know if their red is your blue or vice versa. It's a complicated thought that circles around perspective, something that I think is not only profound but also intricately important to all arguments and matters of discussion. A change or understanding in one's perspective is the difference between peace and war, and it's understanding all sides of a situation that allow us to begin to comprehend why anyone would view oppression as an acceptable way to treat another human being.

    3. . A social group is defined not pri­marily by a set of shared attributes, but by a sense of identity. What defines Black Americans as a social group is not primarily their skin color; some per­sons whose skin coior is fairly light, for example, identify themselves as Black. Though sometimes objective attributes are a necessary condition for classify­ing oneself or others as belonging to a certain social group, it is identification with a certain social status, the common histor y that social status produces, and self-identification that define the group as a group.

      This is a great example and reminds me of the concept of being transracial. As there was a White women who identified as Black, which some would feel is wrong, but this causes me to think she may have felt she aligned with the Black community socially.

    1. "reminds Father of the open-air markets in Mexico"

      I happen to have been to a spanish open-air market. The vendors tried to jack up the price because they thought I was a "estúpido turista gringo". They gave me a discount when I replied to them in Spanish.

      Setting; Maxwell Street, open air market Created via smells, sights, and sounds. Takes place in past, author still young.

      Narrator is author, but main character is Father. Important event is father trying to haggle for shoes.

      Conflict, father can't haggle right, climax, pays too much for shoe.

      Lots of imagery, the church, the street, the shoes, etc.

    1. "lost so many children to death and residential schoo in The Pas" ( 92).

      • reminds me of the unmarked graves found in Canada. An indigenous nation in Canada says it has found 751 unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school in Saskatchewan. It comes weeks after the remains of 215 children were found at a similar residential school in British Columbia.
      • What are residential schools?
      • Between 1863 and 1998, more than 150,000 indigenous children were taken from their families and placed in these schools throughout Canada.
      • The children were often not allowed to speak their language or to practice their culture, and many were mistreated and abused.
    2. B2 Science is folkflore

      • i don't agree with this statement
      • especially because science is being attacked everyday through the debate of climate change
      • Science IS a true but sometimes the way it communicated to the public is flawed. Example the CDC with so many changes, people lose trust in the way it's communicated

        "immense knowledge and factual proof of many scientific theories does not extist"(30).

      • reminds me of the little high school argument between a biology teacher and a christian girl

      • this is very true, bering straight and big bang theory taught as fact when they are theory

    1. unless they read watered down or distorted versions about it in university political science and history courses.

      This here reminds me of how the media and news outlets portray the same crime committed by two different races. In the media when a white man commits a crime such as for example, selling drugs, the headline makes them appear to be innocent or even the photo used is a good photo of them, showing them in a guiltless light. On the other hand whenever we read about a POC in the news for committing a crime they are immediately painted as the guilty, dangerous criminal with a mugshot with a rude and stereotypical headline. This specific part in the reading bothered me a bit because it triggered how things we learn or read about are or can be (for lack of a better word) bullcrap.

    1. But sometimes the prodigy in me became impatient. "If you don't hurry up and get me out of here, I'm disappearing for good," it warned. “And then you'll always be nothing."

      The "little voice" inside her head negatively reminds her of what she can and cant do.

    1. begged Castillo to go and attend to a man who had been wounded, as well as to others that were sick and among whom, they said, was one on the point of death.

      This part reminds me of the Bible. Particularly the gospel of Mark when Jairus' begged Jesus to cure his sick daughter.

    1. For she is caught somewhere between accepting society's view of her - in which case she cannot accept herself -and coming to understand what this sexist society has done to her and why it is functional and nec-essary for it to do so.

      reminds me a lot of the toxic body positivity and self love movement

    1. les lettres que je reçois des Services adaptés en rendent plusieurs visibles

      Most of us have received those letters, indicating that some learners will require special accommodations. And students learn to fit the description. Reminds me of those learners in my classes who expressed surprise at obtaining a high grade on an assignment.

      For instance, a musician in my ethnomusicology course, back in 2006, came to me with something of a complaint:

      You gave me an A on this assignment!

      Right. What's the problem?

      I have a learning disability!

      Erm... Not in my course, you don't! ;-)

      Students like this musician had done exactly the work required to fulfill the requirements... which didn't match expected requirements (which are overwhelmingly scriptocentric).

      Conversely, some learners assume they'll always get good grades ("I'm an A student!"), typically because their writing style matches academic expectations.

      Surely, there's research on this labelling effect. Now, I'm not saying that it's the only effect coming from these letters (or from "dean's lists"). Accommodations can be particularly important in courses where there's a pressure to perform in a certain way. And it sounds like grade-based rewards are important in several social systems. I'm merely thinking of links between Howie Becker's best-known book and his unsung work.

    1. As a cultural practice, male ho mo sex u al ity involves a charac-teristic way of receiving, reinterpreting, and reusing mainstream cul-ture, of decoding and recoding the heterosexual or heteronormative meanings already encoded in that culture, so that they come to func-tion as vehicles of gay or queer meaning.

      This quote reminds me of José Esteban Muñoz's term "disidentification". The phrase refers to the negotiation of majority culture in a way that is not necessarily with or against certain works, but rather transforming these works for their own cultural purpose. Later in the passage, it mentions a bunch of people who have become "queer icons" and creating a stereotype of what gayness is. I'm interested in thinking about how this might lead to a greater need to disidentify more often?

    1. the media is also pushing the madness

      Another claim. The author had no clear thesis, so it's odd to see so many claims popping up out of no where. It reminds me of my timed write, except I wrote it in 40 minutes.

    1. Egypt of the pharaohs was a Bronze Age civilization as was the Babylonian empire.

      This reminds me of when Joseph became 2nd in power to the emperor and he framed his little brother into stealing the bronze chalice to see how the brothers would react before revealing his identity

    1. If some contemporary observers are to be believed, the court provided leadership only in vi

      I have done some personal research into certain members of the Este family and can see where this sort of ideology might stem from; it reminds me of a Ferrarese saying/ children's rhyme (scholars have said both) that was popular in Ferrara during the rule of Niccolo III d' Este. Roughly translated, the rhyme goes "On both sides of the River Po are the sons of Niccolo."

    1. hose who anticipate as a reward for their suffering the maintenance of their freedom, or those who cannot expect any other prize for the blows exchanged than the enslavement of others?

      This hypothetical and somewhat metaphoric question reminds me of the American civil war, a much more literal example of one group fighting for freedom, in this case slaves in the South. The Union fighting for the freedom of slaves defeated the Confederacy fighting to maintain the enslavement of others, providing an answer to Boétie's question.

    1. If anything, the city is oversaturated with scenes of IT work and workers.

      Haha, also reminds me of a saying by PUC teacher used, "If you throw a stone anywhere in Blore, it will either hit a dog or an engineer"

    2. The ghost-worker trope has been incredibly effective in drawing attention to a growing industry of data workers in the Global South, highlighting their centrality to the development of cutting-edge AI across the world.

      Reminds me of Facebook's content moderators plight for lack of mental health support from the organization.

    1. The first argument to the function is the name of the custom property to be substituted. The second argument to the function, if provided, is a fallback value, which is used as the substitution value when the referenced custom property is invalid.

      Reminds me of the IF function in Excel. Only that as per the next sentence, this only takes into consideration 2 parameters.

      Later on, it is stated that using a custom variable as one of the parameters can provide more than 1 fallback option, but with a cost in performance.

      I cannot but wonder if the two concepts could be merged for performance gains.

    1. It isn’t what a writer says that matters, it’s what a writer is

      Reminds me of maxims such as,

      • writing as reflection, as refining clarity of thought
      • And in Arendt's book, the performance of an action as the highest benchmark for excellence. Just being.
    1. We are entering the 'me' generation.

      This reminds me of something I'v read about recently that commented on the link between individualization/atomization and globalization. It is certainly undeniable that individualism is a characteristic of the modern age

    2. Prior to the re-branding of coffee, this aspect of price was largely invisible to the ordinary consumer. The roasters managed a mix that offset these pricing differentials to produce coffee of the lowest common denominator (Roseberry 1996: 766). Place was not important to the consumer at this time.

      this sentence stood out to me because it reminds me of how the re-branding of coffee is quite similar to branding of other farm products like rice, oranges, avocados, apples etc. Most of the time we, as consumers don't really think about where a product came from or whose labor was put into it. Which company employed these people? Are they paid, or underpaid? Are we buying locally? But, I recognize as well how there is a slow shift into paying more attention to these kind of mindset especially in this generation.

    3. Coffees offer us a way to look at our relationship to the larger world and see that sometimes our choices are not really our own, to think about how brands and larger market forces can help create what appear to be stable icons in our lives.

      This reminds me of how influential personalized ads are. These ads are created from social media use, google searches, and even through microphones in our phones and computers. Just as how coffee has become normalized in our society, the internet, and increased globalization influence how people think and act even if they don't notice it. Large brands and companies are able to influence our daily lives and that has become normalized just like the afternoon cup of coffee.

    4. The vision was a type of coffee to appeal to every person, including flavored coffees for the "soft drink generation."

      This reminds me of the tobacco industry in the modern-day. The use of cigarettes and tobacco has been declining for decades because of scientific research and campaigns to end smoking. The tobacco industry had to find a way to appeal to the younger generation who viewed smoking as "gross" and for older people. As a result, they started to make vapes with flavors to appeal to the younger generation.

    1. “There was a wave of concern, but then it cooled,

      This reminds me of how concern over social issues problems eventually fades away at a rate of time. It might be trending on twitter for a whole month but by the next month or so, its reach have gone down terribly and so most of the problems aren't solved, as problems cannot be solve in a matter of month or so. It is frustrating confronting so much power without resources, safety nets to back them up once they get screwed over, and little support from other nations and people as well. How then can we solve these problems? How deep rooted in the system are the causes of these problems?

    2. Last year, Brazil’s labor court held the clothing company Zara responsible when a subcontractor employed slave labor at a Brazilian factory.

      This reminds me of how lots of teenagers in the US have begun shopping from extraordinarily cheap online retailers like Shein, Romwe, Zara, and more. These clothing shops offer too-good-to-be-true prices, like tops for $5-10 and jeans for $15-20. Their prices may be affordable, but it's due to the fact that these retailers source their products from slave labor, poor worker conditions, and cheap material that creates tons of waste. When we, as American teens, choose to shop from these sellers, we are indirectly supporting these exploitive companies and benefiting from their free labor. Moreover, globalization is related to this because the products we buy are most often outsourced from other countries and impact their people, as well.

    3. You go there seeking a living wage and can end up in a coffin

      This reminds me of the paradox of the globalized world that was mentioned in the readings. The reading discussed how globalization often entails the spread of western ideas, but that western morals don't always transfer as well. Some countries have been able to greatly economically benefit from globalization without supporting human rights. This passage in the text highlights companies with poor working conditions that would not be tolerated in a western world. They are however, still benefitting in their own way from globalization.

    1. When the only lever developers can pull is the time players invest in the game, using game design that depended on leveraging money doesn't work as well, requiring a more thorough redesign than simply putting the ability to play more in the places where premium currency was supposed to be.

      This reminds me of online education, where trying to just port over the traditional curriculum and activities usually works poorly, and almost never works well.

    1. his body was found unaffected by decay, and carried away home to be buried. And on the twelfth day, as he was lying on the funeral pile, he returned to life and told them what he had seen in the other world.

      This whole myth, especially this part reminds me of Jesus' resurrection in the Christian religion.

    1. Every one of them, in short, constantly dwelling on wants, avidity, oppression, desires and pride, has transferred to the state of nature ideas which were acquired in society;

      This concept reminds me of how humans often are constantly striving for more, no matter what they have. But I never thought much about how it could lead to inequality when these ideas of wanting more for yourself are brought into society.

    1. The physical reality of packed switched routing, the awkward unlikely miracle of a bunch of computers – rocks we flattened and jammed lightning into – talking to each other. Interacting.

      This is a version of talking rocks in a whole different manner, but it reminds me of the book title The Pattern on the Stone about digital communications.

    1. The unfolded “mailer” showcases the particular bending, wear, and tear on prints as they travel from one destination to another, bearing singular traces of human touch. Tangible markers, like abstract patterns produced by the colorful tape holding folded images together, signify intimacy and personalization. There’s a sense that this piece of mail can’t or won’t be duplicated, that it’s bound for only one mailbox: yours.

      Reminds me when I wanted to mail postcards if art, but scratch lines into the image where it looked like the post office scratched those lines en route. But the lines would suspiciously be in exact strategic spots in the card. Eg marking a mustache on a portrait.

    1. We found that companies have often risked creating a “tragedy of the commons” when they put their short-term, individual self-interests ahead of the good of the consuming public or the industry overall, and, in the long term, destroy the environment that made them successful in the first place.

      This reminds me of the business slogan "the customer is always right", even when they are not because they make your company successful. You wouldn't want to lose the people that helped make your company successful to begin with. Pertaining to social media, people are starting to realize the negative effects of it and see that nothing is being done about it. People will soon not want to participate.

    1. His release strategy is based on spontaneity and immediacy rather than the deliberation and calculation of major label-style marketing and promotion; his mentality is pro-digital media and anti-middleman: “If I record the song right now, I can drop it on YouTube right now, and I’m going to get paid for it,” he says.

      reminds me of Buterin's anti publishing house thing.

    1. An unwavering rule-driven approach to writ-ing often causes more difficulties than it solves

      Rigid writing rules can block creativity and the natural flow of our mental processes which eventually becomes written material. This reminds me of what the author previously mentions- that a well known writing tip is to not make revisions of your first draft while writing it.

    1. Writing that is truly democratic values all languages and identities

      This reminds me of an episode of the Saved By the Bell reboot where a character who is a Dominicana tries to speak Spanish in Spanish class, and her (white) Spanish teacher tells her that the way that she's speaking it is "wrong," even though it's not "wrong," it's just different than the way that Spanish speakers from Spain would say it.

      (This is a good annotation because it makes a relevant connection to the course material from outside of the class to extend the point and make it more concrete. It would be great to also include a link to the clip if you have one!)

    1. Public education is also an enormous source of employment

      I can very much see how public education is a big source of employment since education provides knowledge and experience to individuals. More specifically, education leads to more job opportunities that a person who does not have educational experiences cannot acquire, especially since most companies look for employers who have experience and are capable of comprehending what their roles are. This reminds me of how in my other classes, IQ is shown to be very important because it shows how people are capable of picking things up quickly and how critically they think when it comes to being a good worker.

    2. the amount of taxes, not on their legitimacy

      This reminds me of the debates about student loan debts. I understand that it's not the same situation, but do you think this logic would still be able to sway those against canceling (or at least working towards minimizing) student loan debts (for the better of the community, even if they've already paid off their taxes, don't have any, etc)?

    1. But it illustrated a partial reversal of the centralizing impulse of the turn-of-the-century school system.

      It reminds me that all successes are not accidental. There are countless people who work for segregation. They may fight for the next generation because that is the hope.

    1. Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.

      This reminds me of a similar message in the movie, "Mother" that we just watched. There was a lot of wickedness and people doing wrong, when all that he wanted to see was love.

    1. Author Response

      Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

      The authors report the discovery of a new bacterium, termed HS-3, that displays a novel form of multicellularity consisting of long filamentous structures tightly packed into a two-dimensional structure with characteristics reminiscent of liquid crystals. Motivated by the occasional immersion of the bacterial structures in water due to flooding in their cave environment, laboratory immersion is found to disrupt these structures, which can transform into clusters of coccobacillus daughter cells released by contact with water.

      As a discovery, this paper will certainly trigger great interest in this bacterium for these unusual properties. In particular biophysicists studying active matter will be fascinated by the liquid crystalline order and topological defects, which are reminiscent of those in motor/microtubule systems studied recently. The observations of filamentous forms reminds me of the work of Mendelson many years ago on a mutant of B. subtilis that fails to separate daughter colonies after division, leading to growing filaments. But those were not in a colonial form seen here.

      The paper is, however, rather descriptive, without much physical quantification of the biophysical properties. More importantly, the presentation does not make contact with much recent (and not-so-recent) work on the problem of understanding evolutionary driving forces toward multicellularity, particularly as seen in green algae and choanoflagellates.

      We introduced a series of works in the Introduction, Discussion, and Figure 1, in terms of arguments of how single cell organisms could self-organize and sustain the cells in a certain order in the evolutionary process towards multicellularity. Together with the consideration about environmental settings in the cave as an ‘Ecological scaffolding’ and the liquid crystal-like self-organization, the finding of HS-3 was properly contextualized as a new example of multicellularity. As seen in Mendelson’s pioneering work, as well as in recent works on the field of applied hydrodynamics in biology, bacteria have potential to self-organize their cells. However, as far as we know, there is no extant species that clearly shows a relation between liquid crystal phenomenon and the origin of multicellularity. We think the features of HS-3 that we report would serve as an attractive model of bacterial multicellularity useful for future studies including physical analysis and theoretical study.

      Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

      I thought this was a very cool example of bacterial multicellularity, with the description of a newly discovered bacterium that forms a sort of simply differentiated colony- a sheet of cells which then develops to contain a large bolus of small, coccoid cells, which then release into the water column upon submergence. I wasn't totally convinced that this release was developmental, as suggested by the authors- evidence that other colonies released cells at the same time could be due to multiple colonies sharing the same biophysical basis of colony formation that is disrupted by immersion in water (diffusion of extracellular polysaccharides, or even the pressure from being underwater). However, it's notoriously difficult to rigorously test evolutionary hypotheses, and I think that the microbiology here is compelling- it's a form of bacterial multicellularity that I have never seen before.

      My largest issue with the paper is that it does a very poor job of contextualizing how the research affects our understanding of the evolution of multicellularity more broadly. This paper suggests that little is known about the ecological factors selecting for simple multicellularity, but there has actually been quite a bit of work on this topic. This list is far from exhaustive, but prior work has examined a range of selective agents that can favor simple multicellularity- these include predation (Boraas 1998, Herron 2020, Bernardes, 2021), protection from antibiotics (Smukulla 2008), cooperative metabolism (Koschwanez, 2011), dispersal (smith 2014), syntrophy (Libby and Ratcliff, 2021), resource competition (Heaton 2020), and motility / division of labor (Solari 2006). Indeed, one of the things about the evolution of multicellularity is that there is no one 'route'- there are many different reasons different lineages evolve to be multicellular

      The paper is focused around the idea that 'group life' is a hypothetical "missing link" to multicellularity (see Figure 1), but this is not an open hypothesis in the field. It's been a universally accepted fact for more than 50 years. Multicellular organisms had to have evolved from simpler social groups of cells- given their phylogenetic nesting in clades of unicellular organisms, there's no other way they could have come into existence. But there is also been a great deal of work examining simple multicellular relatives of complex multicellular lineages, most notably in the volvocine green algae, holozoans (e.g., choanoflagellates and ichthosporeans), fungi, charophyte algae leading to land plants, and red algae. There is also a body of work using experimental evolution of evolve progressively more complex multicellular lineages (e.g., snowflake yeast). My central problem with this paper is that the 'group phase' they have described is far less compelling than existing work showing a 'group phase' being ancestral to more complex lineages of multicellular organisms, particularly because this multicellular lineage is not contextualized within a clade that has ultimately evolved complex multicellularity.

      In the "recommendations for authors" section, I make suggestions for how to reframe the work to better highlight its novelty, focusing it around a) the discovery of a new form of bacterial multicellularity, and b) the possibility that this reflects ecological scaffolding, a hypothesis for how multicellular organisms could have evolved by developmentally co-opting ecologically-mediated life cycles.

      The manuscript submitted to eLife was actually a different version from the preprint version in bioRxiv, but we noted the comments were based on the preprint version. We apologize for this confusion, if we have missed some submission procedure. The term ‘group life’ has been amended in the present manuscript, and instead we used the term ‘ecological scaffolding’ at the center of the Figure 1, and we think this could correct the wrong impression that evolutionary process is ‘one-route’. We also revised the Introduction to appropriately contextualize HS-3 as a new example of multicellularity among the preceding works, together with references about physiological significance. In the Discussion, we also mentioned some experimental work on evolution including ‘snowflake yeast’ (reference 48 and 49).

      As for the comment about the release of coccoid cells, we also agree that release in water itself is not a programmed developmental process. The “crowded-out” phenomenon was seen on solid agar surface (not in water, Figure 4C), but if we consider the natural niche of HS-3, the significance of the formed structure is the capability to release coccoid cells upon the trigger of immersion in water.

    2. Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

    1. This book reminds me of me because I am funny. I like to joke around make funny faces and make people laugh. Yes I would recommend this book to reader’s ages 8-12 years old because it is hilarious and a good story. I think the drawings might interest the readers of this book.

      Recommendations

    1. Little by little the groups before the church dissolved. Some returned to their houses, after picking up all the news that was going; others, before departing, were for spending an hour in one of the two gathering places of the village; the curé's house or the general store

      Kind of reminds me of Little House on the Praire where the church was always a huge location for gatherings and where people always caught up with one another

    2. He had suddenly waked and put his hand out for the whip. Charles Eugene resigned himself and began to trot again. Many generations ago a Chapdelaine cherished a long feud with a neighbour who bore these names, and had forthwith bestowed them upon an old, tired, lame horse of his, that he might give himself the pleasure every day when passing the enemy's house of calling out very loudly:—"Charles Eugene, ill-favoured beast that you are! Wretched, badly brought up creature! Get along, Charles Eugene!" For a whole century the quarrel was dead and buried; but th

      This story reminds makes me think of an old man sitting at a table telling his grandchildren a old story. This is one way that history gets passed on!

    1. struggled anxiously to fake my expression, behaviour and look, because people spoke about me with such amazement and I shook for very shame and fear

      This heavily reminds me of how people stim or twitch and are ridiculed for it.

    1. You can't solve this problem by simply working every waking hour, because in many kinds of work there's a point beyond which the quality of the result will start to decline.

      Glad the author highlights this caveat. It's very easy to say "well, I'm supremely passionate about this thing, so why don't I just going to 'out work' everyone else who's also passionate about that thing?" This seems like a recipe for burnout and may result in a net loss of "work done" in the long-term.

      Reminds me of the quality line/preference curve mentioned in: https://mindingourway.com/half-assing-it-with-everything-youve-got/

    1. So I want to close this piece by generally discouraging people from "taking advice," in the sense of making a radically different decision than they would otherwise because of their interpretation of what some particular person would think they should do.

      Good caveat. Reminds me of the following idea: "Most career advice is bad because the person receiving the advice possesses almost all of the information (say, 90%) while the person giving the career advice has only a mere 10%."

    1. what wants to crumble you down, to sickenyou. I call for you

      negative connotation in the beginning, the "i call for you" has more of a positive view and reminds me of something you would hear in church when praying

      Annotated Bibliography #2: Exploring Immersion Schools

      While this school is a charter school, it reminds me very much of the ethnic studies program we learned about in Tucson. This school is a Spanish immersion school that focuses on Spanish-speaking youth in Albuquerque, NM. It seems to be genuine in teaching about culture as it focuses on Nahuatl culture and language as well.

    1. Trump’s allies used a distorted interpretation of the law, the Election Count Act of 1887, to try and convince Pence that he could toss out the election results during the joint session of Congress on January 6. Pence ultimately decided not to follow through with the pro-Trump interpretation, but there is still room under the statute for the House, which may well be in Republican hands in January 2025, to make plenty of mischief. So the committee is planning to issue recommendations to rewrite the law to prevent such action.

      This vaguely reminds me of the obscure use of a law to get Flynn in trouble.

    1. the chance to make a public comment on the song — let the world know what you think

      there is absolutely no value to this. It reminds me of soundcloud comments, which I found funny, but totally not necessaary or useful.

    1. When the victim or criminal is White, the media tend to use photos that paint a positive picture of the victim’s life. In the case of Black victims, however, media outlets tend to use compromising and damaging photos

      This reminds me of how white students who shoot schools are considered mentally unstable but a black individual is considered a thug.

    1. Out on the street, the largest riot since Conscription was passed in 1944 (bringing in the draft for the final year of the Second World War) broke out along a seven-block length of Rue Ste. Catherine, featuring overturned cars, smashed windows, a shot fired from somewhere and 137 arrests.

      Reminds me almost of a cult like following

      reminds me of almost a cult like following

    1. A small group of people, inside and outside this church, coordinated a divisive effort to use disinformation in order to persuade others to vote these men down as part of a broader effort to take control of this church,” David Platt,

      The irony.

      Suffering from their own formula being used against themselves. Reminds me, in smaller terms of scale obviously, of the West training and supplying al-Queda and other paramilitary bgroups (in Colombia especially) that ended up using those tactics and resources to subvert the goals of the West or at least created obstacles to their implementation. #micromacro

    1. I wonder if they are trying to have us start a war so that we finally get aid projects!

      Reminds me of aid-dependency issues everywhere: in the context of extreme poverty and hardship, attracting 'investment' into the community is a form of entrepreneurship.

      Memories of local activists being backed off moving a rubbish dump because others expect an NGO to show up and put money into the community. The romanticisation of the Local.

    1. Or else he expounds on a topic completely alien to the existential experience of the students.

      This reminds me, at least to some extent, about how many teachers will teach certain content to the students, and even if a majority of them don't understand, will continue to move on to the next content. This practice only hinders learning, because students must have the appropriate background knowledge before that can understand new material.

    1. as well as to examine issues of power as part of the production and distribution

      Issues of power as part of the production and distribution of media reminds me of the television show Succession. I'm interested to see where this paper is going on that thread of thought. Will it focus on the choices of people in positions of power (Murdoch, Zuckerburg, etc.), or the effects of that power?

    1. The mob — for by now it had become a mob — headed eastward down St. Catherine Street’s shopping district. They shattered display windows and carried away what they could. They crashed windows of banks and the post office. They terrified patrons of a restaurant and bar with the objects they flung through windows. They pulled cabbies from their taxis and beat them.

      This reminds me of present day riots. I can understand that people are upset, but why do you have to take it out on store fronts or other businesses that are apart of your own community?

    1. Numidia belonged to the ‘Punic world’, insofar asthat term designates those regions where Carthage exerted a culturalinfluence.

      This is interesting to read. it reminds me of the melting pot theory. Cultural influences from other people are constantly being brought to new regions. In this case, it was because of Massinissa.

    1. Daniel Cefaï insists on the variability and flexibility of these social forms, noting that some are “loosely connected universes of special interest” (Shibutani, 1955, p. 566; cited in Cefaï, 2016, p. 173), but also that they exist “only in and through communication”

      This specific diversion reminds me a lot of Reddit, as subreddits only exist based off people's mere interest, but only exist on the account of communication from the members of the subreddit's community.

    1. Crocks are, by (my) stipulative definition, rocks you (not just anyone, but you in particular) see, rocks that, therefore, you are (visually) aware of.

      This reminds me of Hrönir from Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius.

    1. As we discover, unknown unknowns become known unknowns (we become aware of new things we didn’t even know we were unaware about before) faster than known unknowns become known. So this process doesn’t even converge towards knowledge with a capital “K”. The ten thousand things simply become the ten trillion things.

      This reminds me of an old idea from Alan Watts, that the scientific lens is like a knife that cuts the world up into tinier and tinier bits to study them. Even the tiniest bit we currently have can be cut again.

    1. That is to say, the person who thinks he is hungry may actually be seeking more for comfort, or dependence, than for vitamins or proteins.

      People might be seeking to fulfill emotional needs. This reminds me of bulimia nervosa.

    1. Deloria says, ‘it is difficult to understand why Western peoples believe they are so clever. Any damn fool can treat a living thing as if it were a machine and establish conditions under which it is required to perform certain functions—all that is required is a sufficient application of brute force. The result of brute force is slavery’

      Reminds me of a quote from Kant about not treating people as a means to an end.

      "So act that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, always at the same time as an end, never merely as a means"

    1. Many young adolescents already possess these abilities; however, as with other urban literacies, this knowledge is not typically cultivated in schools.

      This reminds me of the article "when school is not enough" and also Gholdy Muhammad's idea of teaching the 'whole child'

    1. The concerns expressed by students of Latinx, Southeast Asian, and Punjabi descent mirrored what H. Samy Alim and Django Paris describe as a “saga of cultural and linguistic assault [that] has had and continues to have devastating effects on the access, achievement, and well- being of students of color in public schools” (1). Their experiences in and out-side of school reflected indifference to adult author-ity when their agency and voice are unconsidered and overlooked.

      As an Southeast Asian, what is described as "saga of cultural and linguistic assault... devastating effects on the access, achievement, and well-being of students of color in public schools" is something I can personally relate to. As the terms sweep and dirt are described in this article, it almost reminds me of the not so little jokes/comments/etc. people would make towards students of color and the sad reality that we would not recognize as being harmful and to keep harmony we would just laugh along with them. All relating back to the feeling of voicelessness and loss of freedom, opportunity, and self as a student.

    1. : (a) the inclusion of students, faculty, and administrators of color; (b) a curriculum that reflects the historical and contemporary experiences of people of color; (c) programs to support the recruitment, retention and graduation of students of color; and (d) a college/university mission that reinforces the institution's commitment to pluralism.

      this reminds me of when I was taking the AP US History exam, when a lot of pluralism-related content was cut off from the curriculum

    1. All through October, frosty and rainy days came alternately, and meanwhile the woods were putting on a dress of unearthly loveliness. Five hundred paces from the Chapdelaine house the bank of the Peribonka fell steeply to the rapid water and the huge blocks of stone above the fall, and across the river the opposite bank rose in the fashion of a rocky amphitheatre, mounting to loftier heights-an amphitheatre trending in a vast curve to the northward.

      This reminds me of the harsh weathers described by Files du Roi prior to their arrival.

    1. These culturalsegments can be correlated withfive areas that together make up asystem of mutual vulnerability or, conversely, can become one ofmutual sustainability.

      These cultural segments can be correlated with five areas that together make up a system of mutual vulnerability or, conversely, can become one of mutual sustainability.

      Metaphysical reminds me of metaphase which is a checkpoint, alignment, realignment, arresting all previous cycles

    1. Daybreak, the sun will rise soon. It isalready May, the cherry trees are in bloom, but it is chilly.

      I find these stage directions to be very effective in creating a specific mood and climate for the characters. I prefer expressive stage directions over bare stage directions when reading a play because it helps the play "jump" off the page. These stage directions invoke a feeling that the world is changing as it becomes spring, but winter has not surrendered yet. This reminds me of the impact the theme of memory has on the play.

    2. The human race goes forward, perfecting its powers.

      I did this monologue for my BFA college auditions because it is the only "classical" monologue that genuinely spoke to me. They do not call Trofimov the "eternal student" for no reason. It is evident in this speech that he is an intelligent individual constantly searching for the truth and for answers as to why society has become the way that it is. Trofimov does not associate positivity with the orchard, and blames Russian "intellectuals" for the poor status of Russia. He is an idealist, he believes the solutions are within reach and not within reach at the same time. His curiosity reminds me of my own which is why I identify with him so much.

    3. Chop it down? My dear, forgive me, but you understandnothing. If there’s one thing in the whole province that’sinteresting, even remarkable, it’s our cherry orchard.

      I can understand as to why she wouldn't want the cherry blossom tree cut down because it's part of her family's lineage. This reminds me of a certain play, I believe it was called The Piano Lesson.

    4. Every day some new catastrophe befalls me. And I don’tcomplain, I’m used to it, I even smile.

      he's smiling through the pain which I'm guessing that this is his way of dealing with these tough obstacles that are always in his way. This sorta reminds me of people who are always making jokes/laughing every single day, it's more of a coping mechanism to mask their pain. Not everyone is going to be happy go-lucky every single day of their lives, however it's the way you react to these troubles :/

    Annotators

    1. Though firmly rooted in Renaissance culture, Knight's carefully calibrated arguments also push forward to the digital present—engaging with the modern library archives where these works were rebound and remade, and showing how the custodianship of literary artifacts shapes our canons, chronologies, and contemporary interpretative practices.

      This passage reminds me of a conversation on 2021-11-16 at Liquid Margins with Will T. Monroe (@willtmonroe) about using Sönke Ahrens' book Smart Notes and Hypothes.is as a structure for getting groups of people (compared to Ahrens' focus on a single person) to do collection, curation, and creation of open education resources (OER).

      Here Jeffrey Todd Knight sounds like he's looking at it from the perspective of one (or maybe two) creators in conjunction (curator and binder/publisher) while I'm thinking about expanding behond

      This sort of pattern can also be seen in Mortimer J. Adler's group zettelkasten used to create The Great Books of the Western World series as well in larger wiki-based efforts like Wikipedia, so it's not new, but the question is how a teacher (or other leader) can help to better organize a community of creators around making larger works from smaller pieces. Robin DeRosa's example of using OER in the classroom is another example, but there, the process sounded much more difficult and manual.

      This is the sort of piece that Vannevar Bush completely missed as a mode of creation and research in his conceptualization of the Memex. Perhaps we need the "Inventiex" as a mode of larger group means of "inventio" using these methods in a digital setting?

    1. A lot of us may have felt pressure at times to find our purpose — to find our one true cause, our personal mission, what we personally should be doing and where we fit in

      This reminds me of how pressure makes/builds diamonds so use the pressure to build yourself and to overcome adversity

    1. Toput it another way, the mother is controlling the child's definitions of his own messages, as wellas the definition of his responses to her (e.g., by saying, "You don't really mean to say that," if heshould criticize her) by insisting that she is not concerned about herself but only about him

      "Letting other people control the definition of your messages" reminds me of other patterns. Something that used to happen a lot to me in highschool: I'd argue a point, the other would misinterpret my point and argue against their misinterpretation, and I'd get bamboozled into argue for their misinterpretation of my point! This happened way more than I was happy with.

    1. You are placed in the body of a fictionalcharacter, Michael Sterling, from childhood to adulthood.

      Reminds me of Richard Linklater's "Boyhood." The idea of growing up can be so compelling.

    1. To carry buildings and streets with you afterward wherever you go,

      Reminds me of Invisible Cities. You will bring the images of the city with you forever.

    1. Students don’t know how to make proper use of its vast research options—and they aren’t asking university librarians for help.

      This reminds me of The Breakfast Club where the kids are left alone in a giant library that's overwhelming

    1. Is there a moral difference between allowing a person to die and killing that person, if the intentions behind the actions are the same?

      This reminds me of the train situation from class. Where is was more moral to kill someone or let someone die as long as you had the right intentions. In the situation I would say that they are basically the same. Your intention is to end their suffering and not to just kill them. In either case, if they some how got better or killing them failed, you would be happy for them. Both methods have the same outcomes.

    1. I am a Korean schoolgirl. I come from the village of Inchon. We are very poor in my village. One time, my teacher came over and drank soju with my father. My father said, "How many daughters must I sacrifice before you will raise the dishonor that has fallen upon my house?" My teacher said, "You only must give one, and that is little So-So." Which is me. So my father shook hands with my teacher and then my teacher took me into a little room and took my virgi

      This just made me tear up, that's just sick. very very sick. Ina a way this reminds me of tea house. Both plays were selling their children as profits.

    2. A video of Young Jean crying appears against the back wall. A traditional Korean pansori song begins. Young Jean gets hit in the face repeatedly. The video is edited so that you never see the hand hitting her face-only her reaction as her head flies back and she tries to straighten her hair and regain her composure. She cries throughout. The slaps increase in intensity

      I remember learning pansori in my world music class. Pansori is like a Korean musical storytelling. I wonder why they did decided to use that. Also, may I add this is very disturbing. Casey shared the video to this play and that is a very weird way to start a play. Reminds me of krapp Tape

    1. So the Cretans followed him to Pytho, marching in time as they chanted the Ie Paean in the manner of the Cretan paean–singers and those in whose hearts the heavenly Muse has put sweet-voiced song. With tireless feet they approached the ridge and straightway came to Parnassus and the lovely place where they were to live honoured by many men.

      This reminds me of the folk story the pied piper, who can lure children away with music, but in this case it is Apollo drawing the men with his playing.

    2. The trampling of swift horses and the sound of mules watering at my sacred springs will always bother you, and men will prefer to gaze at the well-made chariots and stamping, swift-footed horses than at your great temple and the many treasures in it. But if I can persuade you – for you, lord, are stronger and mightier than I, and your strength is very great –build at Crisa below the glades of Parnassus: there, bright chariots will not clash, and there will be no noise from swift-footed horses near your well-built altar. But  the glorious tribes of men will bring gifts to you as they sing you hymns (calling to you, ‘Greetings, Healer!’)

      This reminds me of the "it is too loud and near the highway" talk. She can not say no to him as he could punish her, but she is really great at persuading him to another area while making him think this was his own idea.

    1. from the river and lay down again in the rushes and kissed the grain-givingsoil.

      Odysseus staggered from the river and lay down again in the rushes and kissed the grain-giving soil.

      This reference to "grain-giving soil" reminds me of this quote:

      History celebrates the battlefields whereon we meet our death, but scorns to speak of the ploughed fields whereby we thrive; it knows the names of king's bastards, but cannot tell us the origin of wheat. That is the way of human folly.<br/>—Les Merveilles de l'Instinct Chez les Insectes: Morceaux Choisis (The Wonders of Instinct in Insects: Selected Pieces) by Jean-Henri FabreJean-Henri Fabre (Librairie Ch. Delagrave (1913), page 242)

      ref: quote

      Culturally we often see people kneeling down and kissing the ground after long travels, but we miss the prior references and images and the underlying gratitude for why these things have become commonplace.

      "Grain-giving" = "life giving" here specifically. Compare this to modern audiences see the kissing of the ground more as a psychological "homecoming" action and the link to the grain is missing.

      It's possible that the phrase grain-giving was included for orality's sake to make the meter, but I would suggest that given the value of grain within the culture the poet would have figured out how to include this in any case.

      By my count "grain-giving" as a modifier variously to farmland, soil, earth, land, ground, and corn land appears eight times in the text. All these final words have similar meanings. I wonder if Lattimore used poetic license to change the translation of these final words or if they were all slightly different in the Greek, but kept the meter?

      This is an example of a phrase which may have been given an underlying common phrasing in daily life to highlight gratitude for the life giving qualities, but also served the bard's needs for maintaining meter. Perhaps comparing with other contemporaneous texts for this will reveal an answer?

    2. For if I wait out the uncomfortable night by the river,I fear that the female dew and the evil frost togetherwill be too much for my damaged strength, I am so exhausted, and in themorning a chilly wind will blow from the river; 470 but if I go up the slopeand into the shadowy forest,and lie down to sleep among the dense bushes, even if the chill andweariness let me be, and a sweet sleep comes upon me,I fear I may become spoil and prey to the wild animals.’

      There's something about the description here that reminds me of the closing paragraph of Charles Darwin's On The Origin of the Species (p 489):

      It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, [...]

      Both authors are writing about riverbanks, life, and uncertainty.

    1. I

      This repetition of I reminds me of an earlier text of Edgar Lee Masters. In his work I found that the I was emphasized in such a way to to put emphasis on the fact that it was "I" and no one else. It gave the feeling of isolation. However here in Hughes work the I feels collective. Like it's a we but in first person.

    1. Sorcerers, but had always asked us to make it rain. They believe that nothing is impossible for us. I told them that neither we nor any man could bring rain or fine weather; that he who made Heaven and earth alone was master of them

      Reminds me of stories from the bible where disciples were asked from the people to do certain things to show that they are with God. For example, I remember the story of Elijah and the priests of Baal. Elijah was asked to set fire to a wet log in order to show that God sent him there (if I remember this correctly).

    2. The missionaries are compiling a grammar and dictionary of the Huron dialect;

      This reminds me of what we have talked about in class. The Huron dialect is very important to the culture, beliefs, and different aspects of the community. I really like how they added this to the article.

    3. The "sorcerers," or medicine men, practice all their arts to bring rain, but without success, and attribute their failure to the cross erected by the missionaries.

      The use of word "sorcerers" reminds me of witchcraft. The word "medicine men" reminds me of a Indian doctor. The type of words used when telling a story does make a big difference.

    1. case of 12-year-old shooting victim Tamir Rice, who was killed by police in Cleveland, Ohio. Unfortunately, Rice was not viewed as “a boy playing with a toy in the park, but a Black male with a gun” (O’Malley, 2014). Many me-dia outlets characterized Rice as “big for his age,” as if this was a sufficient reason for the cause of his death.

      This reminds me of the Adam Toledo case. I felt like people was more coverage on why the officer did it and the pressure that got put on him to make a decision in a split-second, versus the young boy.

    1. From thispoint on, nothing would remain hidden from the ur.

      This reminds me of an incident when I was younger. I was at the very end of my church classes and was at the confessions part for my Confirmation. I totally dodged every opportunity to do my confessions because I'm not into religion like that. I got in trouble which is odd. I cannot imagine having the Church know every little thing about me.

    1. raming a mentoring identity as one who builds capacity in others is a necessary first step.

      Great definition of a mentor--"one who builds capacity in others." Reminds me of the TED triangle from last month's meeting in which we discussed being more of a coach rather than creating dependency in others. Rather, we want student teachers to develop capacity to lead their own classrooms.

    1. O NOT DISCUSS AFFAIRS OF STA T

      This line is a recurring motif throughout the play. This reinforces the idea of censorship within China and Chinese theatre and loosely reminds me of the Wannous play we read earlier in the semester. It interests me that the number of signs has increased and the Chinese characters are enlarged. It is such a clear indicator of times of censorship in Beijing at this time. I think the fact that there are so many signs is supposed to be a visual stimulus to the audience as well.

    2. PROLOGUE

      I know the playwright states that the exact reason for having this prologue is to allow other characters to change into other makeup, but I find that many plays from Asia and Asian theatre in general embraces the idea of having a prologue. This section reminds me of Kalidasa's Shakuntala which also has a (comedic?) prologue between a stagehand and a director. I'm not sure if this prologue is meant to read like that, but I think it's a good way to get the audience invested in the story before it begins. I also enjoy the rhyming aspect of it - it adds a childlike quality to the performance.

    3. Would you like a story to cheer you up, Of heroes and heroines, while you enjoy your cup?

      this reminds me of the wannous play...I'm wondering as to what other connections there is between the two

    1. At its core, education must be focused on the relationship between teachers and their students “and the extent to which that relationship nurtures the longing of the child to matter in the world” (Shriver & Buffett, 2015, p. xv). The fundamental role that SEL plays in classrooms hints at a broader consideration: What does it mean to matter (or #matter) in this world? In this way, SEL must address what it means to cultivate belonging in a broken world.

      This is an interesting idea. It very much reminds me of the TED talk video "Every Kid Needs a Champion.". The idea being that Kids don't learn from someone the don't like. It reminds me very much of a parent and child relationship or a mentorship. It just makes me realize just how important being a teacher is to a person. That we see kids so frequently that we can have a profound impact on them.

    1. declaration of faith in a religion other than his own.

      This reminds me of the upcoming chapters section in which it mentions how Baha'is cannot join into other religious organizations

    1. Y la interrogación que sube a mi gargantaal mirarlos pasar, me desciende, vencida:hablan extrañas lenguas y no la conmovidalengua que en tierras de oro mi pobre madre

      This reminds me of the quote about 'garganta prestada'. there is so much in Mistral about voicing and being heard/listened to.

    1. Hopper (1998) describes grammar as the “sediment of usage”

      A wonderfully pithy quote that reminds me of Daniel T. Willingham's "memory is the residue of thought."

    1. A critical literacy means that students probe who benefits and who suffers, how did it come to be this way, what are the alternatives, and how can we make things more just?

      This reminds me of Dutro's idea of Witness and Critical Witness. We are witnesses to our students testimonies, but a critical witness is one who takes action and advocates.

    2. My students’ voices and lives didn’t need “housekeeping”; they didn’t need to be told to “hush.” They needed a teacher who could unleash their beauty on the page and their capacity to discuss and argue in the classroom.

      This reminds me of the book The Vulnerable Heart of Teaching because in order for meaningful discussions to take place students need to feel that they are in safe space to share. The same applies with writing.

    3. I still hadn’t created classrooms that matched the classroom in my imagination, where students read, argued, and wrote passionately. I moved in the right direction when I stopped believing that I was the one who knew and they were the ones who needed to know. I became curious about what I didn’t know

      This part reminds me of the book "pose, wobble, flow"by Antero Garcia and Cindy O'Donnell-Allen, which suggests the "pose" or role of teachers as culturally proactive teacher, who will "wobble" over uncertainties despite the frustration, the "flow" to the right direction.

    1. “underground writers. . . .

      Love this! Reminds me of the Freedom Writers. It is important for us as educators to take in consideration that all writing is writing!! Just because it isn't "academic" does not mean it is not important. It is important for us to highlight and honor all types of writing in the classroom.

    2. Through Writing Our Lives, we aim to offer opportunities for students to write about their experiences, to tell their stories, and to participate in the global conversation.

      This reminds me of the idea of consistently providing students with invitations to voice their trauma and experiences, as seen in *The Vulnerable Heart of Literacy

    3. Over the years, I have been asked to articulate the “impact” of Writing Our Lives.

      Writing for Our Lives reminds me of Louder than a Bomb because it allows students to see the power in writing and using your own voice

    4. Teachers must be writers.n Students must see themselves as writers.n Teachers must cultivate spaces for students to write.n Students must have opportunities to write in multiple ways, for multiple purposes, and in multiple genres.n Teachers must honor and respect youth-led and youth-centered writing practices

      This very much reminds me of Pose, Wobble, Flow where it was stated one should assume the pose of a writer in order to teaching writing and said similar things about cultivating a space where students have opportunities to write. It is similar in the considering the context of the students as well. I wonder if the author would include social media in this new form of writing.

    1. The problem with that sentiment is that it leads to lowered expectations.

      Students need to be empowered! This reminds me of cultural wealth. Students should not be constantly reminded of how they are doing because of their background-- but rather they should feel empowered for what they have given, will give and continue to give.

    1. I want a [[community]], not an [[audience]]. Audience is stuff like reach, personality/celebrity, spectacle, anxiety, alienation, competition. Community is more like voice, discussion, comradery.

      I love this sentiment.

      It's an analogy that reminds me of a quote by Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington:

      Suppose that we were asked to arrange the following in two categories– distance, mass, electric force, entropy, beauty, melody. I think there are the strongest grounds for placing entropy alongside beauty and melody and not with the first three.

    1. Apart from that short-lived nervous­ness, the pseudopatient behaved on the ward as he "normally" behaved.

      This study reminds me of the metaphor created by the philosopher Foucault about the panopticon and human behavior and how hospitals have transformed to become a place where behavior is highly regulated and monitored.

    2. an convey the overwhelming sense of powerlessness which invades the indi­vidual as he is continually exposed to the depersonalization of the psychiatric hospital.

      this reminds me of the Stanford Experiment, if someone is made to feel like they are something and can't control anything, they will begin to believe it

    1. His shadow, so to speak, has been more real to him than his personality.

      This reminds me of the misconstrued ideas of the black community where there was offensive art and caricatures that were the only thing that was shown to society. Very much manipulating society and not giving the community any way to dispute.

    1. Finally, a third, essential way was to support the evolving culture of education that was emerging from seminars for teachers and parents led by progressive pedagogical leaders

      It's important to support research and parent outreach so you don't end up with outdated pedagogy! This reminds me of Ellen Hall switching BJS to Reggio 6 months or so after building and opening her new school

    2. n the late 1960s and early 1970s women, working women especially, were very actively asking for more equitable social laws and for participation in decision making. There was also a great deal of street protest by workers and students. Among notable changes that followed these active interventions was a national law passed in 1968 that established free education for all children from 3 years to 6 years of age.

      This reminds me how early childhood education is a political choice! We can enact huge change by increasing quality of life/education for children and families.

    1. All these sufferings are caused by the man himself, it is quite clear therefore that certain sorrows are the result of our own deeds

      this reminds me of something I think I heard Jared say once, that basically we are our own veils. It is a lot like how when you think you know the answer to something but you choose not to find out because you don't like the outcome.

    2. no right to prevent anyone from smoking

      This reminds me of the man who had attempted to quit smoking many times and felt great shame about it yet after approaching 'Abdu'l-Baha he talked to him about it and the response was basically that the men in Iran smoke way more to the point where their beards are filled with it and that it is nothing to worry about. The man experienced no shaming or a whole shpiel on "dont you know its super duper bad for you!!" nor a command to overcome his desire, just simply 'Abdu'l-Baha's understanding of the man and his loving kindness which he seemed to have grown so foreign of, that helped him fully lose the desire to smoke in the next few days after the conversation.

    1. "atelier, " which evoked the idea of a laboratory for many types of transformations, constructions, and visual expressions

      The photos of the way in which materials for projects are designed very much reminds me of a laboratory and I love this concept as a way to construct the environment for learning.

    1. oes my name belong to me? Does my face? What about my life? My story? Why is my name used to refer to events I had no hand in? I return to these questions again and again because others continue to profit off my identity, and my trauma, without my consent.

      Out of much consideration of the events and the media involvement in this case it reminds me so much of the unfair way media can portray us. Immediately once this case took place the media tore apart her whole life. They dug any and all negative information they could get their hands on about Amanda. Unfortunately this will forever cause her to be connected to this murder even though she was found to be innocents in all realms. She was sentenced without needing to be sentenced by random strangers because the details of the case that weren't even confirmed were being pushed out by media for attention.

    2. But I know that my wrongful convictions, and my trials, became the story that people obsessed over. I know they’re going to call it “the Amanda Knox saga” in perpetuity. I can’t change that, but I can ask that when people refer to these events, they make an effort to understand that how you talk about a crime affects the people involved: Meredith’s family, my family, my co-defendant, Raffaele Sollecito, and me.

      I remember hearing about Amanda Knox and the murder of Meredith Kercher in the late 00's. What I can remember most about the case was that Knox was a college student that was unjustly convicted of murdering Kercher. The media took the story by storm and it seemed like a soap opera drama.

      In this article, Knox states, "To the world, I wasn’t a suspect innocent until proven guilty, I was a cunning, psychopathic, dirty, drugged-up whore who was guilty until proven otherwise". This goes to show how responsible the media is and how much power they have when giving a person an identity in the public spotlight.

      Knox has been able to somewhat recreate her image by exclaiming her innocence and being let free rightfully so. By trying to "grab the bull by the horns", with the bull being the media, Knox is trying to educate those to not always jump to conclusions before it can ruin someone's identity.

      This article and "saga" reminds me of a film I saw recently about another trial-by-media. That movie is Richard Jewell, which is based on Richard Jewell and the 1996 Olympic bombing. The media assumed Jewell was the bomber, when Jewell was innocent.

      For Knox, the nightmare may continue with being a media victim. As Knox said, "Even the tiniest choices people make about how to refer to newsworthy events shape how they are perceived." Hopefully, she continues to use her voice to combat trial-by-media.

    1. the tools but we did discover some struggles and these this is what I want to talk about next we found we found out that students don't always have the imagination that they need to come up with their own ideas for projects we 00:16:16

      I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that most are always told what to do in school, so they lose the ability to think on their own? This reminds me of the Sir Ken Robinson video I watched previously that said students enter school with divergent thinking and it slowly disappears the more years they spend in school.

    1. We do, even asking in our conclusion, “How might the social life of annotation serve the public good?” Any social benefit mediated by annotation must address power.

      The parallel structure here reminds me of the book The Social Life of Information which is surely related to this idea in a subtle way. I wonder if they cited it in their bibliography? I wonder if it influenced this sentence?

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Life_of_Information

    1. MOW AND WEED I COOK LIKE BETTY CROCKER AND I LOOK LIKE DONNA REED fl:IERE'S PLASTIC ON THE FURNITUR

      I have always loved this song. The satire of a woman singing about wanting normal household things is incredible. This piece is typically done in an over the top fashion and I always appreciate it. The lyrics on paper are also fantastic to read. I mean singing a ballad about wanting a disposal in the sink, a washer, and a dryer is just very hilarious. I especially appreciate the line about the "big enormous twelve inch screen." If you weren't sure if this was satire, then this line really brings it home (it is just totally ridiculous). Reminds me of the episode of the office where Michael Scott has a few couples over for a dinner party, and shows off his 12" plasma flat screen tv. It is so small and hilarious to watch Michael so seriously bragging about it. This song gives us a look into Audrey's desires, and her motivations for pursuing a nerdy man like Seymour.

    1. Those perspectives need to be diverse and empowering as well—only showing Black suffering or slavery does not begin to break down problematic beliefs about Black people.

      Reminds. Reminds me throughout my childhood that we never talked about successful stories of black people. it was always about slavery

    1. Our understanding andour own being are a small part of a broader, inte-grated knowledge that holds the universe together.

      This reminds me of the mist metaphor in Mrs. Dalloway where Clarissa felt pieces of her soul in every person she knew. Her soul was a mist that spread far and wide, a constant connection to others. It also reminds me of a conspiracy board crisscrossed with red yarn. Each connection adds to the understanding of any given theory. Which then reminds me of the six degrees of separation.

    1. they can never judge the real extent to which the Word of God can influence the hearts and minds of the people, even those who appear to lack any power of receptivity to the Teachings.

      This reminds me that we cannot know others capacities as well as the story Katty told during orientation about how there was a guy that kept coming to her class(?) with his head down and he seemed to just be completely not for it but then in the end he was like, "I am totally for it". This quote helps motivate me to keep pushing through my challenges if it be in animating a JY group or doing home visits to know that I do not have to worry so hard if they are super invested in the book but more so if the effects the book is trying to convey are getting across and having an impact on them. This last part may seem misleading but I will explain it more in the deepening probably.

    2. human society and every walk of life. An eager response to the teachings will often be found in the most unexpected quarter

      This reminds me of what Saam said in the last deepening about trying to naturally bring up the Baha'i faith with most people we meet if it be at a bus station or at a grocery store. This quote brought me a new perspective on spreading the faith, I don't have to prepare for an extremely formal speech each time I introduce the faith to anyone and I don't have to go into the conversation looking to see if they have JY.

    1. hildren demonstrate that they have a voice, know how to listen and want to be listened to by others. Sociability is not taught to children: they are social beings.

      this reminds me of when I was young. All I wanted was to be heard but I come from a generation when you are seen, not heard. I am so greatful to learn this and pass to my children and students.

    1. If every time you missed a workout you had to donate $50 to a political party you don’t like, how much more motivated would you be to exercise?This is an example of a financial commitment device that is paired with one of your goals. You can apply this to waking up early or eating healthy. You are creating your own personal tax system.As a human, you are primed for loss aversion. Losing money stings more than gaining money, especially when your hard-earned dollar goes to an organization you don’t like.By levying a financial cost for your inaction, you are creating immediate consequences to your procrastination, which can be the motivating factor to get you moving.

      this reminds me of the experiments that Daniel Kahneman and Tversky did to understand the rationality of people and since we hate losses more than gains, why not use that to make ourselves disciplined This also reminds me of what Jordan Peterson said about improving your life and routines before you blame others and criticize the world. Blaming others mean that there's nothing you can do to change your circumstances but that's not true. You need to take responsibility of what's happening around you before curse the God for all the mishappenings that you underwent

    1. SARAH KANE 4.48 PSYCHOSIS 4 I am sad I feel that the future is hopeless and that things cannot improve I am bored and dissatisfied with everything I am a complete failure as a person I am guilty, I am being punished I

      This reminds me of being meta-cognitive. This character is revealing to us what they realize about themselves, this is much deeper than having an 'epiphany' they aren't content with who they are but having the ability to be true to themselves about their flaws and their feelings is important.

    1. He says that ideas such as “only women can understand feminine experience,” can actually create “polarizations that absolve and forgive ignorance and demagogy more than they enable knowledge”

      This idea reminds me of the word empathy and is what I think Said is trying to get at. Even if a certain experience doesn't impact you personally, you should do your best to learn how it makes others feel and actually put yourself in their shoes to understand WHY they feel that way. This will help fight ignorance and lack of care when it comes to issues of oppression.

    1. where new public transit stations are planned.

      This reminds me of the article on car culture in suburbia. Maybe it is easier to implement in those situations because there is not already a pre established culture surrounding public transportation there.

    1. bring families and friends closer together, while outings to restaurants, nightlife, sporting events, and outdoor activities create lifelong memories.

      This reminds me of the health and financial benefits of the previous article on cng busses and taxis.

    1. The premise of CBT is that thoughts, behaviors, and emotions interact and contribute to various mental disorders. For example, let’s consider how a CBT therapist would view a patient who compulsively washes her hands for hours every day. First, the therapist would identify the patient’s maladaptive thought: “If I don’t wash my hands like this, I will get a disease and die.” The therapist then identifies how this maladaptive thought leads to a maladaptive emotion: the feeling of anxiety when her hands aren’t being washed. And finally, this maladaptive emotion leads to the maladaptive behavior: the patient washing her hands for hours every day.

      reminds me of macbeth when his mom was obsessively washing her hands showing signs of ocd.

    1. bats with baby faces

      Interesting juxtaposition here - bats are wild creatures, babies are hapless innocents - reminds me of the way duality presents in single entities throughout the poem (good/evil, God/Satan, male/female)

    2. My friend, blood shaking my heart The awful daring of a moment’s surrender

      The reference to The White Devil speaks of infidelity, and the carnal crimes that arise from ego and earthly passion. Hindu philosophy implies that these deeds arise from a misunderstanding of the partition between the physical and spiritual - those who commit such crimes and are swayed by physical passion do so because they are spiritually incomplete. The passage in general (white devil) reminds me of The Cenci, a play on a similar theme by Percy Shelley. The play also speaks of the corruptibility of spirit, and that carnal strife can only lead to more physical impurity and spite. The main character, Beatrice, claims that she "has eyes full of blood" after having been corrupted by the evil of her father, the Count Cenci - this corruption eventually leads her to kill him in his sleep. A similar web of desire and vice decimates the Cenci family as is present in The white devil.

    1. When you’re interviewing someone you know nothing. You’re learning a completely new and fascinating subject: that person.

      This reminds me of a great lesson I was taught as a teenager doing martial arts that I never forgot - you can learn something from anyone and everyone.

      This applied in my world at the time when referring to more senior martial artists always open to learning from other students and practitioners (regardless of their rank) but it's a very humbling trait to always be mindful of - you can speak to anyone of any age, background or walk of life and rest assured you will learn something new every time.

    1. I hate transitions. I’m terrible at them, and I do it to myself all the time

      I also find myself often in this crossroad between having a hard time with transitions but constantly seeking them out because of the excitement and optimism around them. It also reminds me of airports, I love the airport/flights, being on the edge of a transition but having this time (once you have crossed security and checked in) where you literally have nothing to do but wait and reflect.

    2. He only realized where he was when Hagrid tapped him on the shoulder

      this reminds me of the concept of informal mentoring. finding someone who sees potential in you and takes you in to guide you in a journey. (oh, i continued reading and just saw the comments about mentorship).

    1. Maine had mismanaged tribal trust funds, interfered with tribal self-government, denied tribal hunting, fishing and trapping rights, and taken away the right of members to vote, from 1924 to 1967

      This reminds me of the letters and the land claims settlement. The Maine government has been taking land and rights from the Native people since the 1700's but this court case pretty recent (1975). It is interesting to see how history keeps repeating itself.

    2. that Maine had divested the Tribe of most of its aboriginal territory in a treaty negotiated in 1794; that Maine had wrongfully diverted 6,000 of the 23,000 acres reserved to the Tribe in that treaty

      This reminds me of how when we talked in class with state vs federal treaties. That if the treaty was never signed off by federal government than the document being presented has little to no meaning.

    1. The arts would then clearly be instructing us in a misalignment. And indeed, they would be making the case for reform, for more instruction, and ultimately for more art. But their art is far more partisan than this.

      Could of been a work of Institutional Critique (https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/i/institutional-critique)

      But this reminds me of the text written from Yacouba Konate on Dak'Art about when government gets control of the funding, it becomes a source of instutional power.

    2. Every aspect of us is perverted. Every aspect of individuality canbe improved, can be instructed.

      This kind of condemnation (declared perversion that requires intervention) reminds me of Melissa Febos thoughts on the origin of the word "slut" in her essay "The Mirror Test" from her book, Girlhood. She writes, "Before it carried any sexual connotation, the word 'slut' was a term for a slovenly woman, a poor housekeeper...Just think of all the things a woman could do rather than clean. Which is to say, think of all the pastimes that might make her a slut: reading; talking; listening; thinking; masturbating; eating; observing the sky...In the twentieth century its meaning solidifies as an immoral woman...It is a brilliant linguistic trajectory. Make the bad housekeeper a woman of poor morals. Make her maid service to men a moral duty, and every other act becomes a potentially immoral one...Make sex a moral duty, too, but pleasure in it a crime. This way you can punish her for anything. You can make her humanity monstrous. Now you can do anything you want to her."

    3. In contrast to the institution, there is something wrong with us

      This line and the paragraph above reminds me of the idea that our happiness-obsessed culture is a type of control. We are instructed to pursue happiness and if we don't achieve it all the time, it is a personal failure. It is never questioned that there could be institutional or societal reasons for unhappiness or that there are grave injustices or unsustainable practices preventing happiness that demand radical change.

    1. background, you feel financially stable, then you have the luxury of really caring about the work you do

      reminds me of this meme where you have three different stages of life - childhood, adulthood, older age where you have time, energy, no money, then energy, money but no time, and finally time, money and no energy - we simply have no need to waste our energy on something that we don't care about once we get to a certain age

    1. Unreal City Under the brown fog of a winter noon

      I definitely agree with Isuarez2 that this brown fog is a metaphor for death covering the city. The death that is laying over the city has taken so many that it may not even feel like the same city anymore. The streets are more empty and are not as lively as they once may have been. Almost reminds me of the pandemic when everyone was in their homes. I was still working in the city and it felt as there there way no more life here.

    2. The change of Philomel, by the barbarous king So rudely forced; yet there the nightingale Filled all the desert with inviolable voice And still she cried, and still the world pursues, “Jug Jug” to dirty ears.

      In the tragic story of Philomel, she is raped, tortured, and imprisoned by her sister's husband, King Tereus. To add to her suffering, he then cuts out her tongue so that she may not speak a word of his despicable actions. This results in Philomel's transformation into a nightingale. There seems to be a correlation between this symbolic death and a sense of rebirth. The transformation came as a necessity to end her extreme suffering. This reminds me of the countless themes that can be seen in films, books, poems, etc. of a rebirth coming soley out of the death of your former self. So basically, to get to our desired goals we must face difficult obstacles.

    1. But the very act of striving to serve, however unworthy one may feel, attracts the blessings of God and enables one to become more fitted for the task.

      This scenario reminds me of how we all are trying to look up to 'Abdu'l-Baha but even though we may not reach the same serenity and perfection in the cause as him it is still important that we strive to be like him. It also reminds me of the whole confirmation idea

    1. Each suburban wife struggled with it alone. Asshe made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slipcover material, ate peanut buttersandwiches with her children, chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside herhusband at night -- she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question -- "Is this all?"

      This makes me feel the decadent and powerless feeling of women, especially those who become mothers. This conveys me that suburban wife have a low sense of value at which they begin their lives by losing themselves. Even if they arrange their life in order, they still can't find their own direction. They repeat "work" with low technicality, which is swallowing women's enthusiasm and killing their minds. Everyday is submerged by the trivia of life, they tend to feel that their heart is more nowhere to place, and more confused and struggled. This makes them realize that they have gradually lost themselves in trivial life, because the focus of life is always home and children. This really makes me sad and reminds me of my mother who is greatest woman in the world for me.

    2. thought for the unfeminine problems of the world outside the home

      It reminds me of a post it about a woman who graduated from a top 10 school. She quit her job after having a kid. Her husband is upset few years after because he found out his wife don't know how to do taxes anymore.

    1. He is dead and gone, lady, He is dead and gone, At his head a grass-green turf, At his heels a stone."

      I find this creepy melody very engaging as a reader because it establishes that Antigona is in a different world than the other two characters. This creepy invokes a feeling of surrealism and reminds me of the opening to Woyzeck. I think opening works of theater in this way can help establish a mood which sets proper expectations with the audience for the remainder of the play.

    1. People suddenly stopped borrowing and buying. Industries built on debt-fueled purchases sold fewer goods. Retailers lowered prices and, when that did not attract enough buyers to turn profits, they laid off workers to lower labor costs. With so many people out of work and without income, shops sold even less, dropped their prices lower still, and then shed still more workers, creating a vicious downward cycle.

      This is crazy , because it reminds me of the beginning of the pandemic. Many people were laid off, gas prices were low, etc. More than half the country was on EDD, and were on it up until September this year!

    1. Many people have believed that it did so, and most still

      I find this to be an interesting comment essentially suggesting the human disconnection from our natural order. Our order being the cumulative addition to science and theories and our disconnect is the characters distortion of such knowledge. This reminds me of previous readings by which language includes signs for us to communicate the world to others. I think that even for the most intelligent theorists create these distortions and cause these processes to appear more complicated than they actually are. At the same time these scientific theories may be best understood loosely for the very nature of science is volatile based on the entire function of the environment.

    1. They ask the children what they need to conduct experiments—even when they realize that a particular approach or hypothesis is not “correct.”

      This reminds me of a time children wanted to fix a child's action figure and when I asked what they needed to fix it, a child said water! Instead of telling him that wouldn't work, I encouraged him to try, when they realized that didn't work, I asked what else they could try, etc. That helps me see the difference between facilitate and stimulate.

    2. “for the game to continue, the skills of the adult and child need appropriate adjustments to allow the growth through learning of the skills of the child”

      This reminds me of the 'serve and return' exchanges necessary for brain architecture. We can all learn so much from playing a game with others as it builds upon our existing knowledge and stimulates brain development.

    1. Whoever has made a voyage up the Hudson must remember the Catskill Mountains. They are a branch of the great Appalachian family, and are seen away to the west of the river, swelling up to a noble height, and lording it over the surrounding country.

      This all reminds me of the idea of the divine right of kings, as if the leaders come from the highest points on Earth.

    1. If you want to be a better swimmer, you practice. If you want to be a better magician, you practice. If you want to be a better reader, you practice.

      Practice leads to improvement. Reminds me of a quote: "Practice isn't important, perfect practice is important." You have to be focused on and know how to practice properly in order to improve, repetition isn't just enough.

    1. noticing provocative or insightful comments,

      This reminds me of the work we are doing for ODA in that when noticing provocative/insightful comments, we have to remember that these are subjective and are what WE find meaningful; others may pick out other things!

    2. “Your image of the child: Where teaching begins”

      This reminds me of Seen and Heard, the book that we read prior to the start of this program. That text was so pivotal for me in the ways that I view children and in turn, education. I feel that this quote really gets to the heart of the way that Reggio is a child-centered approach, rather than child-led. It speaks to the dynamic partnership that children and educators share.

    1. spectral

      "Spectral" here reminds me of now-Pres. Biden's comment during the debate with then-Pres. Trump about how Antifa doesn't exist. I suspect the families of those murdered by, and the owners of buildings burned down by, Antifa would beg to differ.

      What an authoritarian wishes to impose it first must declare to not exist.

    1. Pour ce qui était de Toronto, la ville est très dynamique et multiculturelle, je l’appelle souvent mon petit New-York.

      It is interesting that she finds Canada to be extremely diverse culturally, it reminds me of America

    1. A shape with lion body and the head of a man, 

      This one actually reminds me some of a verse from the bible that talks about the second coming; there will be a man, a figure with a lion head, another with an eagle's head (I think?), and a skeletal figure. I could be from this following example that the poet is drawing his influence from.

    1. A study a few years ago from Swansea University found that people experienced the psychological symptoms of withdrawal when they stopped using (this went for all internet use, not just social media).

      Reminds me of when I was a kid and got so upset about my phone being taken , although tat was more because I couldn't talk to my friends, not because i didn't have social media

    1. Dorland thought, shouldn’t there be some ethics? “What do you think we owe one another as writers in community?” she would wonder in an email, several months later, to The Times’s “Dear Sugars” advice podcast. (The show never responded.) “How does a writer like me, not suited to jadedness, learn to trust again after artistic betrayal?”

      Dang this is deep.

      Reminds of of Whistleblower story.

      What about it specifically made her feel betrayed? Was it the communication to the ‘more successful writer’ in the beginning that had it all gone differently there, if her story were to be more acknowledged and not just “taken or used in an exploitative / twisted way for the author’s sole gain” … and had there been up front discussion about the story being written. would things have been different?

    1. Truth and reality are concepts that the philosopher of science Ian Hackingcalls “elevator words”

      This concept might be similar to what we hinted at in the "Japan at Play" class. Fun and related practices are disregarded as something 'low' and 'unworthy' of academic research. In order to study them, therefore, one has to use some elevator words to make them more 'serious' and thus turn them into 'hgiher' subjects. Nevertheless, they are serious in their own regard and should be regarded as such.

      Moreover, it reminds me of other words used to 'elevate' the subject or the discussion, such as 'novel' in graphic novel, used in contexts such as the Italian one to differentiate them from mere comics (even though they're the same thing).

    1. “This particular artist gave artistic expression to…what African American people have had to live with,”

      This sentence and paragraph reminds me of our conversation about black artists being pressured to create Statement or protest pieces. The art is made by an individual, and his motives and reasons are his own, not something that can be assumed because of his race.

    1. Roy sighs. Once, The Daily Argus had fact-checkers, copy editors, legal advisers. Those people are gone now, and in their place there’s the Farm: a virtual machine populated with copies of a few trillion different bots.

      This reminds me of how I always thought the future would be AI working in place of humans. I think the farm symbolizes AI that is able to do the work that humans do. I find this scary, yet a possible reality in the future. Although there are many benefits to AI doing the work of humans, the fact that millions can lose their jobs is devastating.

    1. contagion effect: the tendency of a financial crisis to spread and "infect" other nations.

      The "Contagion Effect" reminds me of supply chains in exports between countries. Because a country exports an intermediate good to another, if there is a disruption that effects the export of the country, the other ends up having disruptions in their distribution/production. This shows that when a country becomes a free financial market and starts working with other international markets, they need to be aware that any economic or even political issues within the other country could likely affect their economy.

    1. was not in economics depart­ments; it remained primarily in business schools

      reminds me of when I first heard that UCSB did not have a business major, but an econ major!

    1. Words that behave this way are typically regarded as referring to entities that are seen as individual, countable units, and hence they are known as count nouns.

      I find it interesting that there's many phrases in English and subdivisions because it reminds me of math courses where they present a million formulas to solve one problem. Also, the irony of this being called a "count" noun and the other being called a "mass" noun reminds me of math. I'm still not clear on how neither noun works so that's another thing in common with math formulas.

    1. What are you doing?! Cowering again and feeling pity for Zeus‘s enemies? Be careful that you aren’t feeling sorry for yourself some day!

      I picked this text from Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound to do an annotation on because this one specifically, reminds me of how rulers usually like to operate and manage their underlings, which is in a cruel and ruthless way. There is a saying that you need to be tough and heartless in order to succeed as a tyrant. Likewise, I interpreted it as, if you do not listen to Zeus's orders as his ally then you will be his foe and one day be in the same position as Prometheus according to the text. Furthermore, a question I have for Prometheus is that if he is the God of forethought, then why is he not prepared and allowed himself to be in such a bad position, to be punished by Zeus? Perhaps is it because it was part of his plan to be punished for committing a sin to help the mortal humans of mankind?

    1. They are very thin, weak connections. If you never use the word again, you’ll forget it, because weak connections don’t last.
