    1. “seek to understand the issues and interact critically with the contents of particular teaching materials, relate ideas to previous knowledge and experience, and examine the logic of the arguments and relate the evidence presented to the conclusions”

      It reminds me of the cognitive presence is the CoI model.

    1. Given the costs of having an experienced advisor regularly available to students, it’s not always realistic. But AI could be the experienced advisor, powered by learnings from big data.

      This reminds me of the "illustrated primer" in Stephenson, N. (1995). The diamond age. Although that's an AI-based system entirely, with no human interaction necessary.

    1. escapeoutoftheland

      So already there is this sense that the Egyptians don't want the Israelites to leave. Reminds me of Alter's notes on Joseph's attendance at Jacob's death/funeral, when the Pharaoh sent a large retinue with him so that he would be sure to return to Egypt.

    1. “A photographed kiss cannot actually be synchronized with an eight-bar phrase.”

      This reminds me of the term Mickey-mousing where the music is synched with the action. Though, as this seems like a live-action, it expresses how the eight-bar phrase is not fitting and synchronized to the kiss. This depicts how humans are not a case of animation, since they are more natural in action, and not strict or controlled puppets.

    1. one tames the work of art

      Reminds me of the structuralists. I think it is interesting how we are progressively surrendering the limits to what we can know to be "truth"

    1. lly doing.

      I agree with Claire and I'd add that this question of terms reminds me also of the term "antiracism," buzzword used as a personal marker rather than a something related to action.

    2. So, my humble suggestion, till you are actually willing and able to do the work of decolonizing the structures you (and even me) benefit from currently, let us think of better words to do what we are actually doing.

      Yes...my Indigenous colleague reminds me that to Indigenize my work means I have to decolonize the self and that work must come first.

    1. On the other hand I was drawn to the Mapping Poverty in America map by how tame and static the map is.

      I like this observation about the difference between dynamic vs more static or "tame" maps. It reminds me of the Data Feminism chapter that (I believe) we read for this week, and the notion that sometimes breaking the rules of data visualization, namely creating messy or overwhelming visualizations, can be an effective form of commentary. Obviously this depends on the outlet, and the NYT is primarily focused on providing accessible information rather than an accompanying conclusion. Still, I found it a bit unnerving to see the egregious income inequality in our country represented so "tamely" and without comment.

    1. I had to rely less on my content knowledge and skills as a teacher

      reminds me of @slamteacher's talk the previous day about only bringing a bag of tricks = cheating both ourselves and our teachers

    1. However, it may have a negative cultural social justice impact if the majority of content and editors reproduce dominant views of knowledge (

      This reminds me of when some Wikipedia editor decided to remove women authors from a list of American Novelist and creating a separate list for Women American Novelists..

    2. while students creating their own OER can be considered learner-centric OEP, depending on the role of the teacher

      Reminds me of how Felicia Rose Chavez The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop recommends having the students select the readings.

    3. content-centric to process-centric, teacher-centric to learner-centric, and practices that are primarily for pedagogical purposes to primarily for social justice (Bali 2017).

      Reading this also reminds me of an article that along with content, teacher, and student interaction, we should consider "interface" = which tech and what tech is being use to deliver the knowledge & material.

    1. cultivate intellectual and social environments where all students have the opportunity to achieve academic success

      This reminds me of the NCSU surveys for which white respondents ranked NCSU as much more welcoming and inclusive toward marginalized demographics, than did members of those marginalized populations.

    1. Gyuri Lajos 1 day ago (edited) • 34:10 "that little bit of uncanny valley at 9" reminds me of the inverted bell curve distribution of marks I gave out when teaching Prolog to an Introduction to AI course with 200+ students. Virtually no middle grade score, either failed, pass, poor, or good to top marks no score in the middle. Its a kind of threshold need to be reached. The rest is on a path of learning yet to cross that threshold if ever.

      uncanny valley

    1. Experts have identified the species of animals used for British legal documents dating from the 13th to 20th century, and have discovered they were almost always written on sheepskin, rather than goatskin or calfskin vellum. This may have been because the structure of sheepskin made attempts to remove or modify text obvious. Sheep deposit fat in-between the various layers of their skin. During parchment manufacture, the skin is submerged in lime, which draws out the fat leaving voids between the layers. Attempts to scrape off the ink would result in these layers detaching—known as delamination—leaving a visible blemish highlighting any attempts to change any writing. Sheepskin has a very high fat content, accounting for as much as 30 to 50 percent, compared to 3 to 10 percent in goatskin and just 2 to 3 percent in cattle. Consequently, the potential for scraping to detach these layers is considerably greater in sheepskin than those of other animals.

      For some reason this reminds me of Jesse not understanding the significance of the plastic and the acid...

    1. Although the goal is for humans to eventually rely on machines, for now it’s machines that must rely on humans

      This extract reminds me that controversial question of whether machines will ever replace humans, assuming that we would consider that humans and machines would have the same abilities, but we don't. On the one hand, machines are faster, more accurate and can perform time consuming activities humans would not be able to do. On the other hand, humans have feelings, emotions and are culturaly sensitive. This makes the difference in activities like education where it needs more interaction and it is not about transmiting concepts and memorizing formulas.

    1. Ideal

      This format of title reminds me of “her first ball”. It turns out that Leila’s first ball is also her last ball. This makes me wonder feel ideal will implies something not so ideal in the article.

    1. Within this systemic approach, which means that each part is involved in reciprocal relations with the others,

      This description reminds me of a 'Systems Thinking' approach.

    1. Equiano’s account was one of the first widely read “slave narratives”

      I find this interesting because the colonizing European force would justify slavery by stating the exact opposite of Equiano’s story. They would say that people of color are uneducated and that they are doing them a favor by enslaving them because their life would be so much worse without it. When in reality it is the exact opposite. And Equiano, like many others, became the opposite of the narrative in a system that was looking for excuses to dehumanize them. A vestigial power structure that is similar still exists today, and there are many people just like Equiano that are going strong despite it. However, there are still many people that are having their stories closed too early. This story reminds me of how important it is to listen to and bolster people’s stories.

    1. What the network might not have expected was for the message to be almost immediately undermined by the network’s biggest star, Tucker Carlson.

      The guy is dangerous, just doesn't care about anything but ratings (reminds me of someone...)

    1. Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships

      I know it is just in the story, but seeing things like this reminds me of how much knowledge exists in the world. Whether practical or impractical, theoretical or applied, it goes to show that there is a lot to learn, and one person can never learn everything. It makes you (or at least me) want to chase after the knowledge that you are passionate about as there is always a wellspring where you least expect it.

      I forget that data and visualization show up in entertainment as well. It is like this section says, you have to look outside of spreadsheets and text files to see that photos and status updates could also qualify. This just reminds me that data can be used in so many different ways and not just the more common ones you may think of off the top of your head. People like their entertainment so Facebook and OkCupid were most likely successful in using their data in that way.

    1. heavilyusedtechnologicalartifactssuchasthesearchenginehavebecomesuchanormativepartofourexperiencewithdigitaltechnologyandcomputersthattheysocializeusintobelievingthattheseartifactsmustthereforealsoprovideaccesstocredible,accurateinformationthatisdepoliticizedandneutral

      This portion here reminds me of a show on Netflix , Coded Bias, where in one particular episode a black developer is working on creating a facial recognition A.I. and was struggling to make it work, until she realized the program could only accurately identify white faces, due to the database for facial recognition for most part uses mostly white faces. She discovered that wearing a white mask would make her program work, but it would not recognize her own face. This I think helps support the idea presented in this article that programs themselves can be made racist with racial bias, regardless of the users interacting and creating with them.

    1. All the fields you see by each file in file explorer is actually metadata. The actual data is inside those files. Metadata includes: file name, type, size, creation date and time, last modification date and time.

      This reminds me of the front and back of house concept. Where data makes up the front of house, and metadata the back. So depending on which end you work, dictates the data you see or work with first. for example say the data is a photo, a viewer would access the data first (most likely) and could then move towards metadata if they so chose. The photographer however would be most familiar with the files, editing, location etc, that is all related to the meta data first. This idea sort of helps me structure the two in my mind better. Maybe the idea might help a few others to wrap their brains around the idea of data/metadata

    1. young people are more vulnerable to mental health problems,

      Reminds me of an article I've read which basically goes over how experiencing homelessness was proven to have caused symptoms of mental illness among-st those experiencing it. The same article also brought up an interesting point of how it can be the other way around with mental illness causing people to become homeless.

    1. Indian conspiracy to steal it.

      Is it stealing if it belonged to the Indians to begin with? Reminds me of the British Museum and how they stole artifacts from other countries to promote themselves.

    2. Oh merciful Death, let me see it before your arms enfold me, before your voice whispers to me, “Rest at last!”

      Interesting, capitalization of death, personifying it further by calling it merciful. Also, Ezra is being quite dramatic, reminds me of writings in Shakespearian times.

    3. “And mind, if you ever take to growing roses, the white moss rose is all the better for not being budded on the dog-rose, whatever the gardener may say to the contrary!”

      I can't tell if all the commentary on the rose garden is pat of the mystery/plot or just part of Sergeant's quirks. Sergeant Cuff reminds me of Detective Blanc from Knives Out. I wonder if the seemingly goofy/silly yet intelligent detective trope comes from The Moonstone

    4. I address these lines–written in India–to my relatives in England.

      I haven't read much literature from the 19th century, but this reminds me a lot of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and how much of the novel took the form of letters, lending it an air of authenticity. I suppose this is kind of a precursor to "found footage" style movies or mockumentaries today.

    5. nd I declare, on my word of honour, that what I am now about to write is, strictly and literally, the truth.

      This reminds me of the intro to Gulliver's Travels which also opens with a letter or 'extracted family paper' declaring the text's appeal to authority and truthfulness.

    1. For example, there is a difference between “No thanks, I’m not hungry” and “I’ve told you, I’m not hungry.”

      Reminds of the Robot devil's quote “Your lyrics lack subtlety! You can't just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!"

    1. I deliver PDFs daily as an art director; not ideal, but they work in most cases. There's certainly nothing rebellious or non-commercial about them

      It reminds me of The Chronicle's exhorting ordinary people to support the then-underway cause intended to banish Uber and Lyft from Austin, on ostensibly populist grounds, when in reality the cause was aimed at preserving the commercial interests of an entrenched, unworthy industry. I saw a similar thing with the popular sentiment against Facebook's PATENTS.txt—a clever hack on par with copyleft which had the prospect of making patent trolls' weapons ineffective, subverted by a meme that ended with people convinced to work against their own interests and in favor of the trolls.

      Maybe it's worth coining a new term ("anti-rebellion"?) for this sort of thing. Se also: useful idiot

    1. A critically acclaimed young African-American poet was surprised to learn last year that he had been promoted by a Nuyorican Poet's Cafe impresario as a former L.A. gang member, which he never was. And while performing Border Brujoin the late 1980s, Gomez-Pena encountered numerous presenters and audience members who were disappointed that he was not a "real shaman" and that his "tongues" were not Nahuatl but a fictitious language

      Reading this paragraph reminds me of all of the misperceptions of people that are told. This topic was brought up in another one of my classes and it's crazy to see it happening again here.

    1. The 20th century is full of attempts to realize the objectives of authentic pedagogy.

      This reminds me of all of my years of teaching and every few years there is a new and improved curriculum or theory. Sometimes it is hard to know which ones will stick around.

    2. t means to be told things rather than to find them out for yourself. It positions the teacher as an authority figure and the student as a beneficiary of the knowledge they convey. It involves the transmission of knowledge from the knowing expert to the as- yet- unknowing novice. And of course, in a certain perspective education is, inevitably and always, all of these things. However, the critics of didactic pedagogy seize on its peculiar emphases that position students as passive recipients of knowledge and compliant objects of authority

      This concept reminds me very much so of when I was a student. There were not many leadership opportunities, collaborative learning, and the teacher rarely facilitated the learning. Instead, it was more of a lecture. This is an approach that I try to stray from as much as possible. I find the best lessons I plan are when my students are taking control of the environment and I am there as a means of support and guidance to the learning.

    3. To me, multiliteracies is addressing the multiple modes and forms people learn best. In a way, it reminds me of the curriculum I use (Lucy Calkins Workshop Model). We transitioned from novel studies to allowing students to read any book they want (as long it was the same genre). I know the comparison seems far fetched, but when boiled down, multiliteracies and Lucy Calkins differentiate and take individualism into consideration for the best learning outcomes possible.

    1. It refuses both the clarity and cleanliness associated with the best practices of data visualization and the homogenizing and “cleanliness” associated with the forces of gentrification that lead to evictions in the first place.

      I think that the way the Narratives map utilizes occlusion to demonstrate the inherently problematic-- and dehumanizing-- nature of gentrification and using data visualization to depict it. This reminds me of other ethical discussions we've had, about how interpreting certain sources/issues as data can be problematic because it erases personal stories and lived experiences. I really like the idea of making the data visualization purposefully messy and overwhelming. However, I think it's also important to include more understandable visualizations as well, so that people can also understand the problem and be motivated to fix it-- a solution requires both emotion and competence, so we should strive to make our data visualizations easy to understand, but also emotionally impactful.

    1. The analogy of a conversation is a good way to describe scholarship in general.

      This reminds me of the text "They Say, I Say" that I and others use in Composition. It's focused on rhetorical moves in writing, and it highlights the fact that writing is part of a larger conversation.

    1. Listening should welcome and be open todifferences, recognizing the value of the other's point of view and inte

      This reminds me of the PYP learner profile. Being open minded and having perspective

    2. In this way, not only does the indi-vidual child learn how to learn, but the group becomes conscious of itself as a •teaching place," where the languages are enriched, multiplied, refined and generated but al o where they collide and hybridize with each other, and are renewed.

      Reminds me of the saying that if you want to really learn something well, teach it to someone else.

    1. 1. Slow growth (the early phase of exponential growth)

      This reminds me of what Gab Leydon says in the Invest Like the Best podcast - he believes our innovation may hit a human limit. The rapid growth he believes in will be using AI to drive innovation.

    1. The explosiveness of its parting lyrics, its referencesto drugs and vigilantism caught the public’s attention and broke boundaries: Something taboo was being uttered on a record for the firsttime in a popular song by a Black woman entertainer. Bradford’s gamble on “a Black woman nobody’s ever heard of,” as the popular musichistorian Elijah Wald put it in a phone interview, was “a huge conceptual leap.

      This reminds me about the transition of reggaton going from love-felt stories to a rhyme scheme of the degradation of women. Catchy, but still a bit sexist, probably tied to our "machismo" factor that still takes part in South American male culture

    1. Young people today have the world at their fingertips in ways that were unimaginable just a generation ago.

      I think this really emphasizes the ease it is to gain connections and have learning opportunities available and accessible. It reminds me of the comparison of how people don't need a degree as much anymore.

    1. Claudia: What's been the hardest part back in Mexico?Yosell: The hardest part here in Mexico is actually I'm trying to live here with the economy that they have. One day transport is cheap, the next day it goes up, and then it keeps going up, and you're just like, "Oh." It's just really hard to keep up with it.Claudia: What have you been up to in this past year and a half that you've been here?Yosell: This past year I moved in with my girlfriend, so I've been here ever since, and we met each other here. So I ended up moving out with her, and I'm trying to do my university but it's kind of hard and stuff like that.Claudia: What are you trying to study?Yosell: I was actually doing a graphic designs and stuff like that.Claudia: Cool!Yosell: That was always something I did like. And now in the States I actually had an administration, so that was probably one of those two.Claudia: Are you currently working or what are you doing?Yosell: Yeah, currently I had a cousin that got me to work here at T-Tech, so I guess that was it.Claudia: Do you like T-Tech?Yosell: Yeah, it’s a pretty interesting place.Claudia: In what ways?Yosell: It kind of reminds me of the high school out in the States. That's basically that's all I can say about it. [Chuckle]Claudia: In what way does it remind you of a high school?Yosell: With all the people in there, basically it's a high school. That's how high school is out there. It just reminded me exactly like in California high school.

    1. Anita:That's fascinating. To go back to something else, I asked you what you missed from the United States. Let me ask you that again. You said you missed the tastes. Can you expand on that?Beto:I miss the taste. I miss the relaxation, everything that's around in the States. It's very –you don't stress that much. I used to travel around at work and the view is beautiful. There's a lot of places that are beautiful. I haven't had a chance to travel here. But the food, the American stuff, the things I used to do early in the morning like to go to this American restaurant and ask for my hash browns, my bacon, jar of orange juice and a coffee, it’s just amazing. The cook was my friend and, he knew me already. "Hey Beto." "Hey my friend. Same?" It was amazing. Something that we don't have here. Something that's missing here when you go in, the way they treat you, it's beautiful.Anita:What do you mean the way they treat you?Beto:Like they always smile at you. They actually say good morning, good afternoon. I never had a bad experience at a restaurant. Most likely, in a public area, never had a bad experience.Anita:When you went in there, he remembered your order.Beto:Yes. They remember my order. It was amazing because they got me there. Now I know why Starbucks puts your name on the little thing because by putting your name, it's like you are part of this place. They make you feel like you are part of that specific restaurant. Not like what you see in the movies. But I had a lot of restaurants where I used to go in, and they were all my friends and they told me here, "Why don't you change your name when you, when you make- " "I don't have to, everybody knows Beto."Beto:I go, they know Beto everywhere. Every time it's like, "Beto, hey Beto, amigo, same?" "Yes. But now make a little bit more toasty." It is beautiful. I mean I got the taste of American food and all of the areas. I even went to Chinese places. There's a lot of people there. I mean I never had a bad experience. It was good.Anita:The last thing is, tell me this lasagna story again.Beto:Oh, the lasagna.Anita:Then I'll let you go.Beto:[31:47] Okay, well we're talking about discrimination in this case. I was just cooking lasagna and my family told me, "What are you doing?" "I'm cooking a lasagna. You guys want some?" This was a beautiful lasagna in a crystal base. They told me, "Why don't you cook something Mexican? You're in Mexico." "What do you want me to cook, beans?" "Some beans, I don't know, something Mexican." "But I love lasagna. You guys want to have some lasagna?" "No, it looks nasty. No." This is one of the things that you encounter when you're here that we're talking about people that are trying to learn and people who don’t want to know what's going on. It's like, "Taste lasagna. Have a little taste?" "No but it looks nasty." "It's just pasta there and then tomato. Take a little taste." "No, I’ll just go back to my kitchen and have some beans and chicharron and all this Mexican food."Beto:I mean, I like it, but I also like to have something from over there or what I used to eat over there. I brought my microwave. I'm living like I’m in the States. I mean I try to make my living like in the States: nice and easy. When I met my wife, I had all my stuff, my cooking stuff. She was like, "What is this?" I have my [inaudible 00:34:04] I don't know like heat, not the microwave. The other one.Anita:A toaster oven?Beto:Toaster oven, yes. "Why is that? What's that for?" "Well, I cook lasagna, and I make potatoes with cheese and I put a lot of stuff on it and I cook there." "I didn't know you cook." "Yes, I do.” Sometimes I don't like to eat a lot of greasy stuff from here. I do want something else. I want something that can remind me of the States. That's true. I cook. I also make, for myself, big pieces of meat, and I cook them there. Yes. It's like, "Why are you like that?" Because I used to go to restaurants, Black Angus. Oh my God, beautiful meat. I love meat. That reminds me of the meat. I can even have it medium like I like it. It's not that I really love to cook, but I have to cook because I want a little bit of over there.Anita:What's the food that most reminds you of over there?Beto:American breakfast. It reminds me the most. American breakfast is the best. Sausages. I love sausages. When I had my first sausages with honey, it's like meat and sweet, but that taste in your mouth, it takes you to some other place. Like, this is good. It's like the American breakfast with sausages and bacon. I used to put a lot of honey syrup. It's like, "This is great. Let me have another one." Or I used to stop by in the mornings. That's one of the things that really reminds me, because the morning there, everybody's awake early and there's a lot of places already open for you to have this good American breakfast. It reminds me a lot because you go there, and I have my hash browns, bacon, my big orange juice and coffee, American coffee. Here, well it's very tough to decide. There's nothing like over there. It reminds me a lot.

    1. Perhaps she felt like the world was ending and she could not stand facing the rapture in confinement.

      something about the ambiguity, the inability to find an objective, logical, empirical "answer," reminds me of the sand. it is the stuff of legends, of tales, of inherited stories that shift as they move through generations--a duppy epistemology. It reminds me of the question, who is in charge? what is the source of the power that is exerted over this landscape?

    2. An inky, bottomless black, as if the night sky had descended from above and settled on the shore to kiss the sea

      I love how the night appears; how blackness appears. Something that can shift and move and kiss. Reminds me of this Fred Moten phrase, the "midnight of category's beyond" (Black & Blur, 226).

    1. Feel free to play hopscotch

      This idea of playing hopscotch#%22Table_of_Instructions%22_and_structure) through a text reminds me of some mathematics texts I've come across where the author draws out a diagram of potential readings and which portions are prerequisites so that professors using the book might pick and choose chapters to skip in their presentations.

      Also reminiscent of the Choose Your Own Adventure books from childhood too.

    1. When the Eye Jumps Over the Wall (1980) and The Hundred Languages of Children (1987). He was aware of the power of the documentation that was produced through the educational creative work of the teachers and atelieristi with the support of the pedagogical coordinators.

      I like the idea also of 'if we could jump over the walls' looking at ideas from multiple perspectives...reminds me of the ideas shared in an Orthogonal Mind. https://joebalcom.blog/orthogonal/

    1. My interest was sparked during Open Education Week when I almost randomly picked a lightning talk session from the University of Alberta, and happened to hear about a project there aimed at bringing educational content to remote parts of the Northwest Territories. They shared a platform called Nimble 1 originally developed for use in South Africa (does anyone know more about this?). I heard that the current project from University of Alberta was able to run Pressbooks/H5P from this platform.

      I am part of this and would love to discuss it with any of you. It reminds me somewhat of @cogdog biking across the west with a wifi box some years ago..

    1. Claudia: Do you like T-Tech?Yosell: Yeah, it’s a pretty interesting place.Claudia: In what ways?Yosell: It kind of reminds me of the high school out in the States. That's basically that's all I can say about it. [Chuckle]Claudia: In what way does it remind you of a high school?Yosell: With all the people in there, basically it's a high school. That's how high school is out there. It just reminded me exactly like in California high school.

    1. educational values,

      This is a great concept to include in learning. Reminds me of the children from last week's videos who were talking about race and special rights.

    1. As most communication technology is privately owned, the ability to study its impact, much less enact evidence-based policy, is constrained by the willingness of companies to cooperate.

      Reminds me of the issues around Facebook NOT making public the information about which ads are served to which people, and then banning a plugin that provided this information to researchers who were interested in this data.

      The information about who sees which ads is extremely useful in our society where so many are willing to spend hard cash (or at least donated cash) to spread disinformation, but you can't study how the algorithms impact this without access to the data.

    1. People were expected to be in a certain place at a certain time. The notions of being 'on time' and 'running late' became much more important

      This reminds me of how email has changed our workplace experience. Things that were once only a part of our actual workday are now communicated outside of work hours and even on the weekends. It has become increasingly difficult to separate our work and home lives. Email has also eliminated a cooling off period when we are upset and allowed us to dehumanize people. In the past a person that was upset would need to wait to have a conversation face to face or take the time to look up a number to call someone on the phone. In both scenarios you had to listen to the persons response. Email has allowed people to vent out whatever grievances they have without an immediate response from a second party.

    1. My dictionary defines civilization as “the stage of human social development and organization that is considered most advanced.” Aside from being a sort of useless definition, this points out the prejudice inherent in civilization. It says: “We are advanced. You are primitive. What’s more, history and development is purely linear in nature, progress only moves forward, and any deviation from the course we are on is regressive.”

      reminds me of Walker's connection btwn Eurocentric linear time, Darwinism, and the advanced-primitive dichotomy

    1. Yes. Yes, I did. I didn't know it, I was just [mumbling 00:46:07] didn't know. But then I learned it. I remember we used to do the Pledge of Allegiance, it was every morning, every morning. After that, I don't know what happened to schools. They stopped doing it, but it was every day. I used to do it every day. The Pledge of Allegiance. I even learned the American anthem, but all of a sudden everything started changing. I really don't know why. Times change. Things change. It reminds me a lot when I used to ride my bicycle to school, put the lock on it. I felt like in the movies. When I was little, I felt like I was in the movies, because of me on a bicycle, putting my bicycle and locking it. I felt like the Back to the Future guy, and I always wanted some Nikes like this guy. It was difficult for the language. It was difficult for the culture because it got me mixed up with the American culture and Chicano culture. There was a big division there because I had to learn from both.Beto:That's when you get like a Chicano burrito, Americans potato, mashed potatoes in this. Then, okay, Chicano goes to LA Dodgers stadium, and he's American. Cinco de Mayo, he's Mexican. What's going on? It's like, what's going on with this guy? But then American culture, [sings] “take me out to the ballgame.” I asked my mom a lot of stuff. I asked my dad a lot of stuff, and I believe I mentioned when you asked me how I felt, American or Mexican? That's what they taught me. "You're Mexican. You're Mexican, you know the pyramids. You been there, you studied there. You remember this?" "Yes." Okay. Then you're Mexican. You're not American, but you're learning the American culture. Okay? Chicano, it's different. Way, totally, completely out of, don't pay attention. Yes. Pay attention. But don't go too much into it. You're Mexican."

    1. Too sound is his slumber, the slayer is near him, Who with bow and arrow aimeth in malice.

      In this whole passage, Beowulf is being compared to Heremod's failures in order to further lift him up and praise him. Then I think Hrothgar goes on to criticize men who live in luxury and enjoy earthly pleasures, lucky to live such an easy life, who become arrogant inside and passive to danger. This line I have highlighted is the fate he suspects for men like this. They let their pride get the best of them and they will die because of it. this implies then that the most noble of men live in constant fear and cannot fully enjoy life. This was a theme is the other Anglo-saxon poetry too - that living less favorably while alive is more honorable and holy. This mention of sleeping soundly also reminds me of Beowulf's comment to the king before.

    2. The bairn of her bosom to bear to the fire, Queen Hildeburg has her son burnt along with That his body be burned and borne to the pyre

      I like the use of rhyme here. The repeated references to fire make me think of the fire within her. Her love for them both burns within and this ceremonial act of burning them together binds them further. It's a powerful image and their corpses in flames reminds me of their fate to be taken from a hellish creature.

    1. Reviewer #1 (Public Review): 

      In this paper the authors associate genetic variation in regulatory sequences of the gene cortex with the presence/absence of a yellow band of color in the wings of two species of Heliconius butterflies. They show that cortex is spatially regulated in larval wings, but the expression of this gene does not correlate with the presence or absence of the yellow band. Then they show that the gene is expressed in the nuclei of all cells of the pupal wing. By disrupting cortex they show that black cells (Type II) become white or yellow (Type I), and red scales (Type III) become paler across the whole wing. 

      By examining open regions of chromatin around cortex, they discover that at least in one of the species, the insertion of two transposable elements in an open region of chromatin associates with the presence of the yellow band. They show that disrupting this regulatory region in a race of butterflies that does not contain the yellow band, nor the TE insertions, leads to the loss of the black color in a band-like shape, and the appearance of yellow scales in that region of the wing. They identify a different region of open-chromatin in the other Heliconius species that when disrupted also leads to the transformation of black scales into yellow scales in a band-like pattern. 

      The authors achieved their aims and the results support their conclusions. 

      The strength of this manuscript lies in the use of multiple approaches to identify the likely causal genetic variation in the cortex locus that is responsible for the presence/absence of the yellow band. The only weakness (if I can call it that) is that it is still not clear how cortex, which is also expressed in the nuclei of the yellow scales in races that supposedly have the TE insertion and closed chromatin in that enhancer region, fail to develop black scales in that region of the wing. 

      This is one of the first few papers that examines the function of specific open regions of chromatin in the DNA of butterfly species using CRISPR-Cas9. The main novelty of this paper is in identifying how a gene with a homogeneous expression pattern across the wing (during the pupal stage) can still have "hidden" modular regulatory regions that drive unique functions (albeit not expression) is specific regions of the wing. 

      This work reminds me of the regulation of the vestigial gene in the wings of Drosophila. vestigial also has homogeneous expression across the wing pouch but it achieves this homogeneous expression via two separate enhancers that have complementary expression patterns.

    1. Children love tolearn among themselves, and they learn things thatit would never be possible to learn from interactionswith an adult.

      This reminds me of that phrase from pg. 2, "Of course not all children are the same — each child brings a part of something that’s different into the school."

      Each child brings in different knowledge and ideas to class. I love the collaboration amongst children and how they share knowledge with one another. Hearing them share with their parents that they learned something new from the peers is amazing.

    2. Children are very sensitive and can see andsense very quickly the spirit of what is going onamong the adults in their world.

      Absolutely! Children respond, react, absorb, imitate us and the world around them. This reminds me of how healthy vs unhealthy environments can impact children!

    1. It’s tattooed back here. Realism to me was … it's real. Human beings are selfish by nature, but the beauty of it is that we have our own free will and we can go above our nature and we can do great things, so this just reminds me that I'm not just an animal that's looking for my own benefit, if that makes sense.

    2. Luisa: There was this one book by Clive Owen, I believe, something about the demons. I don't know. We had a huge discussion about that book. He would give me a bunch of books from his collection and we would discuss it. We would discuss the original. We would discuss Niccolò Machiavelli. I actually have “the end justifies the means” tattooed on me.It’s tattooed back here. Realism to me was … it's real.

    1. I don't exactly know what this will end up doing, which is perhaps why I think it's interesting. I don't even know if it makes sense.

      this definitely makes sense! reminds me a bit of Lord of the Rings // the ring situation - where you need equal buy-in from everyone in order to get to the next level

    1. On the occasion of her Coronation, our Gracious Queen commands that one Captain Macheath shall at once be ‘releaséd.

      reminds me of the end of Tartuffe, very deux ex machina

  6. May 2021
    1. The longest-lasting missionary settlements in Texas arose at a place known as Yanaguana, used by Payayas and their neighbors. Spaniards might have called it San Antonio de Béxar, but a customary sense of home place prevailed in determining Indian views.

      The original San Antonio native name, Yanaguana, reminds me of the yanaguana group that provides mutual aid to those in need and base their mission off of the aid to others as was provided back then.

    1. the kinds of errors that involve nurses in some way and endanger patients cover broad territory.

      Can this be said a different way if this is not a direct quote? the in some way seems out of place. The kinds of errors involving nurses and endangering patient safety over a board territory ( this reminds me of the game of Risk- smile) instead of territory could we say covers many ????

    1. “peek into the world of what it means to be black.” To me this reasoning seems immature. This outlook reminds me of child play, saying, “See, now you know how it feels.”

      I don't agree. I feel as if white should understand the trials that minorities go through on a day to day basis and this is only a little piece not even fully giving them the experience. It isn't immature.

    2. This outlook reminds me of child play, saying, “See, now you know how it feels.”

      I don't think that's what he meant. That's not the reason he doesn't think white people should say it, that's why he thinks white people can't accept not being allowed to say it.

    1. reciprocal

      reminds me of Brofenbruner and the systems theory. there is an ongoing relationship between the individual and the environment the environment can have many levels and variations as the individual develops in relationship with their surroundings.

    1. data

      This reminds me of some of the data collection bar graph visuals that exist on Youtube.com. This type of bar graph where time lapse is used as a critical aspect to help highlight change (or lack thereof) over time was very helpful to me when I was interested in visualizing wealth in the United States and the rise of the likes of Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos. If not for the timelapse, I would not have realized the sustained level of wealth.

    1. This will seem little to you with your strong practical sense for it takes fifty years for a poet’s weapons to influence the issue.”

      This reminds me of some of the influential poets and writers I admire, and their own perspective on social activism and global change. it makes me think of how we write things in hopes of inspiring change in people and to spark a fire of rebellion in certain cases . And yet by the time a piece of literature has made its way around the world, the actions of those who hold the same beliefs yet were more keen to pursue them through a practical sense have already made some kind of change. I think literature is meant to aid people as a whole- for generations to come- and I think what makes a piece of writing so strong is that it still holds meaning no matter what time you are in and that it captures the human existence.

    1. Think of this plan (the word for map in French) as the map to your essay that will guide you along your journey to completion

      I like this because it reminds me so much of the mind map we would do in class honestly I like how this relates to a lot of the stuff we have done in class because all the stuff professor dan has told us about how to write a paragraph has helped me out a lot and I think helped me become a better writer

    2. I think the hard work of writing is just how long a book is terrible before it’s good

      I can feel this on another level because this reminds me of the whole not judging a a book by a cover mainly because by personal experience because I do this a lot when I read the first pages and I don't like it I immediately think its bad you know then a lot of people tells me its good and that I judged too quick

    1. “I want to be a poet–not a Negro poet,”

      This line reminds me a bit of the phrase "Not like other girls" (which I heard a lot growing up and was even guilty of myself saying at times). It's possible that the poet in question thought he was being progressive and forward thinking by not letting his race define him, but Hughes points out that he's actually rejecting his blackness, whether he realizes it or not.

    1. I've found several digital copies in Latin:

      I've come across a recent text The Memory Arts in Renaissance England: A Critical Anthology edited by William E. Engel, Rory Loughnane, and Grant Williams (Cambridge University Press, 2016). (Google books should let you preview most of it, if it helps.) It contains an extended excerpt of about 5 pages of The Phoenix from the opening three chapters of Robert Copland's translation, which they consider weak. They also include a synopsis of the other 9 chapters. Copland apparently didn't acknowledge Ravenna as the original author, not did he supply the name of the French text he purports to translate.

      I've got feelers out to a few classicists to see if anyone has a personal translation from the Latin that they're willing to share.

      As for the size of the text, I know what you mean. I've recently acquired a 1799 edition of Richard Grey's Memoria Technica which is both smaller and denser than I had expected.

      This also reminds me that I've been wanting to re-publish copies of some of the public domain classical memory texts (and/or translations) in modern typesetting/binding as a series. If anyone wants to lend a hand with creating/editing such a thing let me know.

    1. even riding an elephant. For in

      The elephant scalp as a headdress reminds me of popular depictions of romans wearing a hood of a wolf or of Hercules wearing the Lion's pelt.

    2. Caesar ’s coinage even alludedto the victory of good over evil, with an elephant trampling a serpent with hiscognomenin the exergue(Figure 10).

      Good vs evil being depicted as trampling over a serpent reminds me biblical examples of the archangel Michael or the Virgin Mary stepping over the serpent.

    1. Place names and songlines together reminds me of a great BBC segment "Disappearing Welsh Names" I saw recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLQ6XlG0MQ4

      It highlights by analogy the value of indigenous culture, knowledge, and creativity which the survival of songlines also provides us with. (It also saddens me because it starkly reminds me of all the knowledge and languages we've lost already.)

      I've been learning Welsh since the pandemic started and just a few simple words of Welsh has given me a far greater appreciation of places in the UK and what they mean. It's helped not only to expand my vocabulary, but increased my creativity in creating local songlines. It's also made it much easier to learn to say and remember the town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

      It also uncovers quirks of place names like Breedon on the Hill which translates from Brythonic, Saxon, and Modern English to "Hill Hill on the Hill" and crystalizes, as if in amber, the fact that Brythonic, Saxon, and English speakers all conjoined for a time on a hill in England. Similarly there's also Barnack Hills in England which translates from old Celtic (barr), Scottish Gaelic (cnoc) and English as "flat topped hill hill hills". It's almost hillarious.

    1. If design govern in a thing so small.

      The last line talks about how it's hard to see the whole picture of a thing when you're too close to it. It sounds like the spider catches the moth by camouflaging itself against the backdrop of the flower. Does the spider know that or does it just know that it can get some food if it hangs out in this spot? It reminds me of this trashy tv show called "Monster Bug Wars" I loved as a kid. The show was just edited video and commentary of some ants subduing and killing a wasp or something like that but the producers added these great monster noises. The show, like this poem, took something we would normally not notice and hyper focused on it. If there are designs governing this spider that it cannot see, there are probably designs governing us that we do not notice.

    1. Perhaps if everyone reads and writes from their own home on the web, they’re less likely to desecrate their neighbor’s blog because it sticks to their own identity? There’s lots of work to be done certainly, but perhaps we’ll get there by expanding things, opening them up, and giving ourselves some more space to communicate?

      Chris, I like your point about companies opening up, it reminds me Cory Doctorow's discussion of interoperability as a means of fixing the internet.

    1. by humans, can transmit new diseases, devastate crops and eat away at crucial infrastructure.

      This reminds me of the Columbian Exchange and the horrible impact the new species that were brought to the Americas from Europe had on the American natives

    1. With conquering limbs astride from land to land

      kind of reminds me of war, like conquering limbs could be taking something but then it says land to land like they're expanding.

    1. Yellow caution tape contrasts against every other jet black chair. Even in a space that seems so removed from the outside world, it can’t escape Covid. I’m reminded of just how deeply Covid has transformed so many aspects of my life, and all the traditional elements of the fun “college experience” that I’ve missed out on. And yet, I’m standing inside a college library as I have these very thoughts, serving as a sobering reminder that perhaps society’s priorities regarding the “college experience” have become warped. “What’s wrong with having a little fun sometimes?” I demand, in my head, to no one. I look down at the carpet, whose green and beige pattern reminds me of vomit, which for some reason, seems like an appropriate answer. I look up at the high ceilings and find myself wondering how loud the echo would be if I yelled. I take that as a sign that it’s probably time to return to my work.

      I added more vivid details to this paragraph as before the details did not further the main idea of my essay. Before, I just described what I was seeing around me, without responding to it. I tried making the stimuli more meaningful as I linked the yellow caution tape to Covid-19 and how it changed my college experience, ironically as I write in a college library. The yellow tape stimulated ideas about what I was missing out on, in terms of the college experience, which I later address in the essay. By mentioning this, my final paragraph is more effective as it is linked to more paragraphs in the essay.

    1. tin cup and rippled mirror.

      A rippled mirror reminds me of a funhouse mirror, which are usually cheaper than a real glass mirror, and a tin cup is often used to ask for money so maybe they had financial issues

    1. Weavers, carders, spinners. The loader,

      These are all the positions of the people who make the clothes, and it reminds me of when he mentioned all the different fabrics.

    2. Gossiping over tea and noodles on their break Or talking money or politics while one fitted This armpiece with its overseam to the band

      it reminds me of crazy rich asians

    1. She reminded us of the challenging but extremely important truth that there are some things as instructors and even administrators that are absolutely within our control when it comes to improving equity

      I feel like many of us can relate to this! Equity is uncomfortable, it can be silencing. This reminds me of some Brene Brown (https://debbiedonsky.com/embracing-discomfort-in-equity-work-lessons-from-brene-brown-on-shame-triggers-from-an-anti-oppression-lens/) writings on diving into equitable work. Anti-oppression work requires people to feel deeply and sometimes uncomfortable - as long as they are learning from that discomfort.

    1. Takes me home, lights are off he's taking off his coat (Hm yeah)

      This reminds me of how Taylor could be envisioning the good times that have happened before in the past.

    2. Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style

      this line reminds me of clothing, however she is relating it to their relationship, it never gets old for neither of them

    1. dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix

      This line reminds me a lot of drug addiction--but that makes me think, how big of an issue was this in older times? Did drug addiction sweep through poor communities just as it does today?

    2. Moloch! Moloch!

      The repetition and exclamation of Moloch throughout the end of the poem reminds me of political rhetoric, particularly that of Trump. The name and word takes on a new power and meaning if it is said enough, it becomes unstoppable

    1. dolls

      This reminds me of an episode of The Office where Toby (pictured) is desperate to buy a popular doll as a Christmas present for his daughter. He buys the last one from another office worker, a black man (who had purchased it for his own daughter). Toby is visibly surprised to see that the doll is black - clearly he was expecting a white doll.

    1. She was joyous now, and had a rose-bloom in her cheeks, and was one of the prettiest creatures, and seemed one of the happiest, that the world could show. But the lady stole noiselessly behind her and threw the veil over her head. As the slight, ethereal texture sank inevitably down over her figure, the poor girl strove to raise it, and met her dear friend's eyes with one glance of mortal terror, and deep, deep reproach. It could not change her purpose.

      Another foreshadowing, but with Zenobia coming out on top instead. The first part of this reminds me of Priscilla first making an appearance and being shy. Then, she started to blossom into someone that everyone loved. Everyone lit up when she came around. There was no denying that she had contributed to the happiness in Blithedale. However, Zenobia sort of threw this in her face when she told this story with the veil being thrown over the girl's head. It's also interesting that she then places the cloth on Priscilla's head, as if to replicate the story.

    1. The role of the poor-law tradition in shaping recent welfare reform highlights some of the interpretive failures of popular accounts of neoliberalism. Most of these accounts focus on neoliberalism’s overriding investment in the notion of personal responsibility.

      Cooper if nothing else examines the role of the poor law tradition, which reminds me greatly of high tax policies and how Democrats generally want such policies for society. They try to bring the middle class up, the "private family," I believe.

    1. So for generations in the mind of America, the Negro has been more of a formula than a human being

      Reminds me of when people say the "winners write history." Is Locke saying that the ones in power are dictating the narrative of who "The Old Negro" is"?

    1. Greeks what Newfoundland is to us.

      Is this meaning more of "a new world to explore" or "a new land to pillage and conquer"? It reminds me of the advent of Hellenization after the death of Alexander as increasingly more Greek settlers made their way to "barbaric lands" like Bactria. The Greek saw those lands as ripe with raw resources for their own purposes.

    1. Sometimes a certain smell will

      This to me has a impact on me because we all have that one person that has that smell, like every time you go there you know where you are because it just has this certain smell and he is saying that something in his life reminds him of it

    1. However, modern society has muddled this concept of identity. Today, nations and corporations conflate driver’s licenses, social security cards, and other state-issued credentials with identity; this is problematic because it suggests a person can lose his very identity if a state revokes his credentials or even if he just crosses state borders. I think, but I am not.

      Christopher Allen posits that modern society has muddled the concept of identity by equating it to a driver license or national id card, thereby implying that it is something that can be taken away.

      I would say that it is not society, but the modern state that has not muddied, rather corrupted the concept of identity.

      This also reminds me of idea of how to draw the line of definition for a component with which greater complexity is built up.

    1. outsider

      This reminds me of part of the discussion we had in class last week where one of our classmates talked about how when she was growing up it was almost frowned upon to use technology. In addition, I feel like sometimes people portray technology as an outsider because maybe they do not know much about it or do not have enough experience with it so they push it away.

    1. The execution was accompanied by a whole ceremonial of triumph; but it also included, as a dramatic nucleus in its monotonous progress, a scene of confrontation:

      Reminds me of movie scenes where someone is executed at the gallows; the public humiliation allows for more power over the individual prior to their death through punishment.

    1. 'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

      Another mischievous line, this line is confirming that the girl is definitely bi-polar. Speaking of bi-polar, the song Lola by Iggy Azalea is what this line reminds me of. With the lyrics "I'm a angel and a demon/ Happy when I act the meanest..."

    1. He did it in a cold, impersonal way, indicating the outer form of the scene without any attempt to put life or depth into it.

      This almost reminds me of a white lie but in performance form. It is interesting how many times we do this in daily life (or at least I do). This is another central argument to Hcschild's work, the importance of surface acting

    1. These attempts reached a climax in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with forced integration and relocations

      This reminds me of Andrew Windy Boy and other Indigenous people who were in colonial schools

    1. These narratives often conflict with one another, but each contributes to Bitcoin's overall brand presence

      This description reminds me of how we tend to experience people: prismatic, contradictory, etc.

    1. There are also dangers of what are called “false positives,” when a computer links two things that shouldn’t be connected—as when facial recognition software recently matched members of Congress to criminals’ mug shots.

      This section really stood out to me, because I feel like the general public forgets what a computer is. Even as algorithms and code become more complicated and approach intelligence, it is nothing more than a powerful set of circuits performing lightning fast computations. The computer isn't aware of what it is doing, it is just following directions given to it by a human. These false positives highlight this. This reminds me that I need to focus on my own biases and personal shortcomings when designing code and algorithms because ultimately the computer isn't responsible for those, I am.

    1. It generated an awareness that the issues of children and childhood cannot be treated separately from the issues of women, men, families, and society.

      This reminds me of past readings about children are citizens now and future. They are part of the community, and even at preschool, the issues of race, religion, gender, etc. should be included.

  7. Apr 2021
    1. she had now the pleasure of sometimes hearing her father and mother remark on her personal improvement. “Catherine grows quite a good–looking girl — she is almost pretty today,” were words which caught her ears now and then; and how welcome were the sounds

      Reminds me of what Wollstonecraft wrote about women and the love for superficial goal,her parents remarks on her looks made excited her greatly. I know both sexed love to be complimented on their looks but women seem to enjoy it the more.

    1. This outlook reminds me of child play, saying, “See, now you know how it feels.”

      I interpreted what Coates said differently, in which he was saying this just goes to show you how it is living as a black person in America, not as reasoning for white people not to say the n-word

    1. Each time I heard the approaching footsteps, I jumped into bed and feigned sleep. And as soon as the guard passed, I got back out of bed onto the floor area of that light-glow, where I would read for another fifty-eight minutes—until the guard approached again.

      kind of reminds me of how when I was a kid and I would pretend to be asleep.

    1. in-creased proportions of leaky dioecy in the breeding systems of populations on or near ancient Native American population centers.

      Reminds me of the last article on ancient forest gardens.

    2. Amazonian Dark Earth (ADE), patches of rich, anthro-pogenic soils scattered throughout the Amazon forests of South America ( Schmidt et al., 2014 ), as well as the growing evidence of extensive, pre-Colombian urbanism that has impacts on modern biodiversity ( Heckenberger et al., 2007 , 2008 ) have ended the belief in a pre-Colombian pristine tropical forest in Amazonia (

      An interesting assumption that I did not realize we have, but when I do think of pre-colombian urbanism I do think of untouched forests/earth. I wonder if it is because of a lack of evidence, or because of how we are taught about history in the United States. This is an interesting crossover of the American public school system and our assumptions on ancient cultures and their respective agricultural practices. It reminds me of how we were taught that Native Americans and early colonists were friends, and we have an entire holiday about it when it reality, colonists murdered and raped Native Americans. They also try to kill off all the bison because they wanted to starve Native Americans, which I just learned about the other day. I wonder if we were to ask Eastern civilizations about ancient agricultural practices in South America, if they would assume the same things we do (which would mean a lack of evidence/knowledge) or if they assume that the landscape was shaped by ancient civilizations (which would mean we were taught to think otherwise). This would be a really cool sociological experiment.

    1. Derrida, Foucault, even Donna Haraway do not need any more citations. If you HAVE to cite them just to get your foot in the door, put them in the footnotes. Or just put them in parentheses at the end of a sentence. Save those in-sentence mentions for the people you want to SHINE on.

      This reminds me of Sara Ahmed’s note about citations chains and Jacqueline Jones Royster’s comment about critical imagination—an elsewhere constellation of what research, knowledge, and theory could look like.

    1. What laughing lips will never show: How tears and torturing distress May masquerade as happiness:

      This reminds me of the line from "Heritage" by Gwendolyn B. Bennett -- "I want to feel the surging / Of my sad people's soul / Hidden by a minstrel-smile." Same idea of hiding one's pain with a laugh or smile.

    2. How tears and torturing distress May masquerade as happiness

      This all reminds me of blues music. I can't remember the exact quote, but it's the way blues is described:

      To loosely paraphrase, "The tune sounds like it's laughing, but the lyrics are crying." And here, it's quite apt for existing in the face of constant racial struggles.

    1. Make sure your team spends time with varied types of assessment data, like essays, short stories, projects, science labs, and notes from classroom discussions.

      This reminds me of something from Dr. VR's assessment class: "multiple measures." It is important to provide a variety of assessments in different formats in order to better understand the students' knowledge and skills. One assessment cannot and should not determine an entire evaluation of a student.

    1. More than 100 Facebook pages, profiles, groups, and Instagram accounts with at least 1,000 followers or members each dedicated to QAnon. The largest of these have more than 150,000 followers or members. In total, the documented pages, groups and accounts count more than 3m aggregate followers and members, though there is likely significant overlap among these groups and accounts.

      Honestly, the conspiracy group types are not exactly my favorite. This type of reasoning definitely reminds me of anti-vaxxers or flat-earthers.

    1. by pouring out a small portion of the food, in a certain place, for the spirits of departed relations,

      This reminds me of a mexican culture holiday called Dia de Los Muertos since they often put up an offering table.

    1. Digital citizenship is not about replacing who we are in the real world but about expanding the possibilities of who we might become when we know and understand how to harness the power of our digital tools.

      This reminds me of one of my artifacts from my structured choice journal. I created a lesson plan about teaching students digital citizenship. The lesson was for the students to create a poster that displays a rule about digital citizenship such as asking for permission and going to age appropriate websites and which digital tools are safe to use.

    1. What is a city?

      This picture reminds me of the reflection in water. I think it’s a very unique way to draw city street. The buildings don’t need to be right side up to be buildings.

    1. The collection was compiled in the first half of the 19th century and used by Morton to justify white supremacist theories; it contained the remains of Black Philadelphians as well as 53 crania of enslaved people from Cuba and the US, which will now be repatriated or reburied.

      Science and medicine have a very long and terrible history they need to reckon with.

      Also, reminds me of that Bodies exhibit that was so popular a few years ago, where they suspect many of the bodies used were those of executed political prisoners from China (see: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/bodies-revealed-exhibit-may-be-using-executed-chinese-prisoners-says-rights-group-1.2757908)

    1. I should lay off those Snicker bars, those liverwurst sandwiches with gobs of mayonnaise and those Goddamned caramel sundaes.

      realizes and acknowledge the things he eats; reminds me of binge-eating, might regret later

    1. This is Faith. Six months of schooling, now she’s a happy sixth grader who dreams of becoming a pilot someday, and her family now supports her, and best of all, her younger sisters will follow in her footsteps.

      It amazes me that such a young child knew exactly what was necessary for a better life. It also doesn't surprise me that her family only supported her after the fact. It seems that human nature is typical in not wanting to stray from societal norms and ideals. However, it also stikes me that a commonality between all strong women is their courage and willingness to do whats best for them, no matter the risk. She reminds me of Malala Yousafzai.

    2. real ways women can help us lift out of poverty

      Women definitely have something to contribute. More than just babies and dinner! Although I have babies and do indeed love making dinner, I'm more than that. And I'm so lucky that I'm allowed to be. Just imagine what some of these places could be (the places that oppress women or don't allow them to be anything other than wives) if they only lifted women up rather than pushing them down. Women have done so many amazing things! What could these women do, if they were only given a chance? I think her ideas on educating women lifting their community out of poverty are spot on! Also, it reminds me of another anecdote: In high school, my best friend was a girl who's family came from Ukraine. She was amazing and her family was wonderful! The problem was that her parents came from a culture that believed women should be wives, so they pulled her out of school in sophmore year and she never got to go back. She was incredibly smart and talented and I think she could have done great things if she'd only been given a chance. And that also shows that, even though we live in America, we still have some problems to fix as well. Which is really surprising, in this day and age.

    1. more important than working to become “com-petent” in the cultures of those with whom we work and interact

      I really like their definition of cultural humility and find it interesting that there is a discussion on if cultural humility or competency within a particular culture is more important. This kind of reminds me of the "jack of all trades" vs. "expert in a field" discussion and veterinary careers. As a veterinary student we have a very diverse background of knowledge to be able to address a wide variety of conditions and diseases. Some individuals decide to pursue board certification and expertise in a particular field of veterinary medicine. Even though a veterinarian may be boarded in cardiology and primarily see cardiac patients, it is important to remember other systemic conditions that can lead to similar symptoms/ lesions and to be able to address them accordingly. From this stand point I think that having proper cultural humility and competency within particular cultures that you work and interact can be equally important. If you predominantly work within a certain culture, it is natural to become more competent to interacting with individuals from that culture. At the same time it is important to maintain culture humility so you can properly and respectfully address people from all cultures.

    1. not all of them considered themselves activists, however, unlike the following individuals who were comfortable with the label of activist, which often implies “radical” in hawai‘i

      this reminds me of the label "feminist" because people often are in support of what feminism is but do not identify as a feminist.

    2. the united states seized the island of Kaho‘olawe (see Map 2). since the 1920s the usmilitary had used the island for bombing practice, increas-ing that use after the December 7 attack. The bombing of Kaho‘olawe did not cease at the end of world war ii, however, and continued unimpeded until 1976. an executive order (eo 10436), issued on february 20, 1953, by Dwight eisenhower, secured the island for the use of the usnavy as a bombing target, and placed the island under the jurisdiction of the secre-tary of the navy.

      This reminds me of Kwajalein with how the US bombed the hell out of the island and justified it. I question why the US army would even bomb an ENTIRE island in the first place, especially one that was so culturally, historically, religiously, and socially important to an ethnic group.

    3. The population of Kanaka Maoli declined to horrifically low levels, just shy of 40,000 people in 1896, due to contact with foreigners and the alien diseases they brought to the islands

      reminds me of the missionaries in Tanna Times and all the diseases they brought with.

    4. archaeologists do not necessarily need to be indigenous to do indig-enous archaeology.

      This statement reminds me of the point that Narayan made in her article.

    5. Through interviews with archaeologists and Kanaka Maoli, whose personal knowledge of and experiences with the discipline of archaeology extends back to the 1940s, i examine past and present rela-tionships between people interested in the protection, perpetuation, and preservation of hawaiian culture. These interviews, conducted in 2005, pro-vide insights into the character of contemporary relationships as well as identifying past events and practices contributing to current tensions

      I like the combination of past and present in this thesis... reminds me a bit of Ka'ili's concept of ta and va.

    6. The population of Kanaka Maoli declined to horrifically low levels, just shy of 40,000 people in 1896, due to contact with foreigners and the alien diseases they brought to the islands

      This reminds me of Hernan Cortes with the Aztecs and Francisco Pizarro with the Inka. Both conquistadores used diseases such as smallpox, measles, influenza, STDs to wipe out millions of natives.

    1. or a clown (How amusing!).

      This reminds me of minstrel shows, in where they would have black people portray black face and white people deem it as more authentic, when in reality it is not, it is far from the truth.

    2. still hold their own individuality in the face of American standardizations.

      This reminds me of the period in the 1970's with the hippie movement( counterculture movement), where a huge sum of people rejected the more mainstream American lifestyle.

    1. If we make money the object of man-training, we shall develop money-makers

      This reminds me of the the American dream from everyone they say we need to graduate High school then graduate collage then get a job and make money for the rest of your life until you retire.

    2. The Negro race, like all races, is going to be saved by its exceptional men

      This reminds me of how Moses saved his people and they were finally free from pharaoh.

    1. Before we get there, however, there’s one other issue to address: how much has to go in the head, and how much can be in the world? 

      Reminds me of Maria Anderson's new ESIL learning objective scale.

    1. When you can fly, there’s no burden you can’t bear. When you can fly, gravity can’t touch you. When you can fly, you can do anything”.

      This reminds me of the ongoing metaphor in "Jubilee" of the slaves being cage birds. So with Augustus him having education, him being a free man, it gives him the ability to fly like a bird. Much like the age old saying the "the skies the limit".

  8. drive.google.com drive.google.com
    1. We have had many voices of all kinds as fine as his and America was and is as deaf as she was for years to him

      Many voices have spoken out about the propaganda of this world but only a few listen. This reminds me of how Martin Luther King jr was such a vital person in history

    1. Students selected an American author to research and were required to read at least five lengthy pieces from this writer. Students were asked to write a 7- to 10-page paper comparing the various pieces of literature in the context of the historical and cultural times in America. The student writing we read analyzed the writings of Flannery O'Connor.

      I think this is a cool assignment! I like how students were able to select their own author to read and analyze in the context of the historical and cultural times in which they were writing. This assignment reminds me of the EQ I am having my students think about now as we read through a variety of works by the same author, Haruki Murakami: How does reading multiple works by the same author impact our reading and understanding of their work and purpose?

    1. Still, it is so distant that it would appear to Earthlings as a doughnut on the moon.

      The perspective kind of reminds me of Carl Sagan's quote, which I quoted on a different annotations, because we're just one spec, and yet we've 'conquered' black holes and discovered pictures of them, this truly is fascinating on how far we've come.

    1. Seattle’s Garfield High School website lists volunteer opportunities alongside its scholarship and internship opportunities.

      This reminds me of many other schools that give you opportunities to volunteer by bringing you to the place you will volunteer and encourage it.

    1. the process by which a designer creates acontext, to be encountered by a participant, from which meaning emerges.4

      This quote reminds me of how teachers design learning for kids. This statement allows teachers to use a classroom context, have the student encounter it, and work to create meaning. What contexts and designs are implemented are up to the stakeholders and create agency.

    2. Games are notjust about following rules, but also about breaking them

      This reminds me of the Couros book we read in the last TIP class, when he said you have to innovate "inside the box"; meaning, develop and innovate within the parameters you are given. I see this a lot with the sports I watch. When someone develops a new strategy or technique, he/she has an advantage over everyone else until they catch up.

    3. This reminds me of the Couros book we read in our last TIP class, that you can innovate "inside the box." Meaning, even if there are rules and parameters, people can innovate to varying degrees. I notice this a lot with the sports I watch. They evolve in real time, and when a new strategy or technique appears, the one who has developed it has an advantage over others, until they catch up.

    4. game creates its ownmeanings (blue means enemy; yellow means power-up), but also trafficswith meanings from the outside (horror film music in a shooter meansdanger is coming; poker means a fun evening with friends).

      This reminds me of Cope and Kalantzis' "Grammar of Multimodality."

    5. Literacy and even media literacy are necessary but not sufficient for oneto be fully literate in our world today.

      I think the idea of media literacy was innovative when it was first raised. Just the recognition that reading/writing literacy was not enough, was important. This reminds me of Bill Cope in one of the early week videos saying that consumption of similar media by everyone (i.e., before the tech advances that enable us all to be creators) was a 20th-century phenomenon.

    1. Pitifully calling me, the quick ones and the slain?

      It reminds me of how when some people are about to die a traumatic or violent death, their last moments are spent crying for their mother.

      I do not know if the narrator is necessarily a mother--but it all the same speaks of seeing people call for her compassion, only for her to be unable to give it.

    1. Shaken from firm, brown limbs, Or heads thrown back in irreverent mirth.

      This reminds me very much of "Ma Rainey" by Sterling Brown. This is an occasion of both merrymaking AND a release of sadness, in the tune of a blues performance.

      The tune is laughing, but the lyrics are crying, as I remember the saying goes.

    2. A-shoutin’ in de ole camp-meeting-place, A-strummin’ o’ de ole banjo.

      Bennett uses music in her poems as a way of expressing its importance to her people, like Hughes and Brown. I like how she suddenly switches to dialect. It reminds me of Brown's poem "Ma Rainey."

    3. I am weaving a song of waters,

      This line reminds me of the opening line in Hughes’ poem “The Negro Speaks of Rivers”. Maybe this line is a nod to it?!

    1. He can even re-alize that his former Catholic inhibitions will not let Bead Bead take up a madam's offer of a free trip to her (female) brothel.

      This reminds me of a game I play called Divinity Original Sin 2 with choices like this. The relationship between virtual and real-life identities that cause us and our characters to make these choices is very interesting.

People further down the social ladder copied the laid-back dining style, if they could afford to.   I mean, who wouldn't want to stretch out while chowing down, but not everyone was so lucky in ancient Greece. You see, women didn't generally get invited to banquets except for rare occasions like wedding feasts and even then they had to sit upright.   It was only in ancient Rome that customs changed, allowing upper-class women to lounge alongside men, and while it sounds sweet, all that lying down and eating can't have been good for the heartburn.

Write your answers in the comments section below Please log in to post a comment COMMENTS (15) arellanoj-rob 11/30/2015 - 09:46 a.m. I think that people "further down the social ladder" copied people above them because they thought it'd earn them some sort of respect. It probably gave them sense of power back then. julianc-bag 11/30/2015 - 07:32 p.m. I don;t like eating at the dinner table I prefer the living room. ShawnaWeiser-Ste 12/02/2015 - 03:56 p.m. This seems quite unnecessary and dangerous. Its very common for people lying down to choke while they are eating, I mean come on. Good thing the women and the poor were not allowed to engage in such activities; they probably lived much longer than the rich men. laurenc-bag 12/03/2015 - 09:18 p.m. People "further down the social ladder" copied people above them, possibly to make themselves look a little wealthier than they were. It was a sign of luxury and was only enjoyed by the elite, so they wanted to experience that as well. laurenc-bag 12/03/2015 - 09:21 p.m. And, most likely, my weirdest custom at home is listening to music while watching a video on my phone while FaceTiming my friends, if that even counts as a strange custom... But, I also pray before I eat every meal with my family, which might seem strange to some people. laurenc-bag 12/03/2015 - 09:30 p.m. (It didn't allow me to take the test for some reason...) carsonb-2-bar 12/03/2015 - 10:28 p.m. In the early 7th century reclining and dining in Greece started and later on picked up by the Romans. According to the article it was a sign of power, especially when others served you. People in lower social classes copied it. The lower class people probably copied the upper-class people to be cool. Maybe it made them feel powerful. I thought the article was interesting. I never knew why many pictures back in the 7th century show people eating while lying down. I guess you could say they were the first couch potatoes! bellae1-lin 12/04/2015 - 02:57 p.m. People "further down the social ladder" copied people above them because they wanted to feel luxurious and wealthy. They would want to feel this way because they may not be treated like luxury, and they wanted to see with the eyes of a wealthy being. briannec-ste 12/07/2015 - 05:09 p.m. I personally don't like to eat laying down because I feel like I am being choked. I don't understand how laying down and being fed was a sign of wealth. The laying down not at all but the getting fed I understand. gisellem-pay 12/08/2015 - 11:11 a.m. I think that this concept is similar to our current society. Many people find or develop a custom, in which will catch on to others just to prove their power or how modern they believe they are. This also reminds me of China and foot binding. This tradition was passed down for women as a beauty concept.

      The central idea of the text is that people ate lying down during Ancient Greece because lying down when eating was considered to be a luxury, and symbolized a high class, although high class men and women had different standards. High class women didn't have the right to lie beside men until Ancient Rome, when the customs finally changed.

    1. ethnobotany

      I never heard of this term before reading this paper. its actually interesting. it reminds me of sociology and botany mixed together. I think its interesting to learn what tribes used for their medicine back in the day and to see if we can use for modern medicine to further human health.

    1. advantageous to ensuring the long-term funding of security.

      This is false because freedom to issue new money, in the best possible case, will be stable for only brief periods of time, and unstable in the long-term. Any level of issuance causes distortions in incentives and build up over time.

      What bitcoin did was innovate a way to take issuance out of the long term equation to minimize distortions caused by issuance. It doesn't work either to have issuance and drainage somewhere else because that just introduces different incentives and distortions.

      This reminds me kind of the current credit based system. Money supply is created in a loan and destroyed via paying off the loan. This distorts economic activity toward financialization and short term thinking. Debts get rolled, leverage builds up, and there are periodic crises.

      Long story short, this is not a way for long-term stability.

    1. You stumbled, as blind men will. . . .

      This reminds me of how white people have historically promised something to a non-white person, or groups of people, in words that were meant to have a double meaning so that the white person could take full advantage of the other individual.

    1. In any discussion about race matters it is vital to situate yourself in a tradition, in a larger narrative that links the past to the present.

      This specific line reminds me of another work I read last semester on Kimberly Crenshaw's theory of intersectionality and how in society we often can't help but to notice color and that these biases are what cause a larger issue in oppressive systems.

    2. Focusing on race, class, and gender, West is an outspoken critic of contemporary American society in the name of decency and dignity, freedom and democracy.

      West brings up many themes of what reminds me of intersectionality and how the interlocking systems of oppression rule in our democratic society. Also feels that he's explaining his reasoning for his argument.

    1. he meaning and the cause of it?' Uneducated people pass judgment and walk on

      I enjoyed reading Swamiji's story. This immediate narrative gave me a better understanding of the differences. This story reminds me of the school's teaching the five Ws. (Who, what, when, where, why). We're constantly analyzing and questioning everything once we're placed in school.
