The solution is not to 'integrate" them into the structure of oppression, but totransform that structure so that they can become "beings for themselves."
C: This sentence reminds me of how a lot of "social justice work" is approached-- integrating a few folks rather than transforming the structures.

For me the salient point was Depree's explanation of the difference between sight and vision. "We can teach ourselves to see things the way they are. Only with vision can we begin to see things the way they can be". It reminds me of the plight of the "Black Lives Matter" or the "Me Too" movements. With BLM, blacks and others march and protest because they see the ways things are, the way blacks are treated by the police and the judicial system. Yet they have a vision of how things can be and have hope that a change will come. Although, change is slow and steady at times, they continue to fight. Same train of thought for the Me Too movement. These Me Too leaders see sexual abuse and sexual harassment of women minimized but they can envision a world where predators are punished and women are not ashamed to come forward with the hope that they will be taken seriously. I found this reading very hopeful and adaptable to higher education or education as a whole. I believe that younger students, especially, impressionable. They need to see that they can be whatever they desire with hard work, dedication and education. For example, the election of Vice President Kamala Harris should incite hope in young girls because they see a black woman serving in 2nd highest seat in the United States. It inspires hope in their own futures.
‘I don’t mean that,’ said Mrs Boffin, with a worried look, ‘but I mean, don’t believe him to be anything but good and generous, Bella, because he is the best of men. No, I must say that much, Noddy. You are always the best of men.’ She made the declaration as if he were objecting to it: which assuredly he was not in any way.
This reminds me of Mrs. Micawber in Dickens' "David Copperfield." Mrs. Micawber (whose husband can't keep a job and is always very, very poor) constantly tells everyone that he's a good man and that she'll never leave him, when no one has the slightest idea of suggesting that she do so. It seems like Mrs. Boffin is doing a similar thing in reminding herself and others of her husband's goodness, despite what his outward actions have become. I think the connection between these two ladies here is that they're trying to remind themselves of the good they (at least once) saw in their husbands, and are almost trying to convince themselves that their husbands are still those same men and worth staying beside.

this reminds me of 'everyman' since he wanted company, it's funny how even the devil likes company and doesn't like being alone which is why he likes to keep their souls after giving them what they desire
umerous examples of celebrities caught doing or saying something that underminesthe brands with which they are affiliated

This reminds me of one of Apple's policies; The villain in a movie/TV show is not allowed to use an Apple device. This is because they don't want a negative connotation with their brand.
So when I’m searching for information in this space, I’m much less interested in asking “what is this thing?” than I am in asking “what do the people who know a lot about this thing think about it?” I want to read what Vitalik Buterin has recently proposed regarding Ethereum scalability, not rote definitions of Layer 2 scaling solutions. Google is extraordinarily good at answering the “what is this thing?” question. It’s less good at answering the “what do the people who know about the thing think about it?” question. Why?
According to Devin Google is good at answering a question such as "what is this thing?", but not good at answering a questions "what do people who know a lot about this thing say about it?"
This reminds me of social search

This reminds me of one Chinese idiom " Good tools are prerequisite to the successful execution of a job."
Working with a Risograph gives you total artistic independence,
This reminds me of the creative prints popular in Edo Japan where the prints stressed the artist as the sole creator motivated by a desire for self-expression, and advocated principles of art that is "self-drawn" "self-carved"and "self-printed".
When you register for an account, you are usually asked to share personally identifiable information, like your name, email address, age, and/or gender. You will also be asked to review and accept the end-user license agreement or terms of service, which may involve giving away even more data, such as your IP address, device information, browser information, geolocation, and Internet browsing data.
After reading this part, I was a little bit shocked, because I did not even notice that I have given my personal information to so many tools and apps. And this reminds me of our umass emails. I always get scam emails and I am really frustrated and I am wondering how did these scammers get my information? Is there any effective ways to kind of prevent the underlying costs of using free tools?
Zachary McCoy discusses how his use of the exercise tracking app, RunKeeper, to track his bike rides resulted in him being considered a suspect in a crime.
This reminds me so much of how the Golden State Killer was caught. Since the DNA of the killer was stored in police database they didn't really know who it specifically belong to. Until, law enforcement's were allowed (legally) to check online databases that collect personal information such as family trees. They caught the killer because they found his genetic profile in the database of a site called GEDmatch. It crazy to think how your personal information especially your DNA can be traced/tracked.

Another significant advantage of social media is that it is a vast repository of information. You can get information on current events, history, research facts, or any field specific topic easily. Unlike other media options such as printing and television, social media is unbiased and provides you the true message.
This is so nice, reminds me of a Goldbergs episode that talked about their modern technology was to just go to the library and have the answer to their questions within a few hours. Thank God for the internet.
"The other half are enrolled in predominantly white or predominantly nonwhite school districts,"
This reminds me of my high school in 9th grade and then moving to another high school that was predomintley white and how they were quiet opposites and how different it was.
The boys may have come home fishless, but they brought back nearly as much protein as if they’d had a stringer of catfish. Nuts are like the pan fish of the forest, full of protein and especially fat—“poor man’s meat,” and they were poor. Today we eat them daintily, shelled and toasted, but in the old times they’d boil them up in a porridge. The fat floated to the top like a chicken soup and they skimmed it and stored it as nut butter: good winter food. High in calories and vitamins—everything you needed to sustain life. After all, that’s the whole point of nuts: to provide the embryo with all that is needed to start a new life.
head and heart education. This also reminds me of Radiolab and 99% Invisible.
It is an intertwining of science, spirit, and story—old stories and new ones that can be medicine for our broken relationship with earth,
This reminds me of podcasts I have fallen in love with over the years. Podcasts like 99% Invisible and Radiolab taught me about the world by sharing a small piece of the science and artistry behind a given concept or architecture, and I love it.
I had decided to write all this down because I do not know when the stinking menfish will get me. Maria, if ever you find this -my head is roaring with fever and I scarcely know what I have written
Protista reminds me of Murakami’s works a lot, particularly of Sleep. Both stories are unclear, contain fantastical elements, and have an abrupt ending. The narrators of both are also unreliable (the narrator in Sleep has not slept for days and has drunk a lot of alcohol, while the narrator in Protista is dehydrated and malnutritioned), seem to have hallucinations, and are telling the story from some point in the future. However, for the narrator in Protista, it is completely impossible for me to tell how much of what he is telling the readers has really happened. Although in the beginning, certain parts seem believable, as the story progresses, the things the narrator is experiencing blend together and become so fantastical that one cannot even perceive them as metaphors.For example, there is the repetitive image of the red circle. On page 123, it is said that a red circle has been drawn by Maria and that it would bleed when she is in danger. Later, on page 126, such a red circle becomes the creation of the manfish that visited the narrator’s room when he was young and has been drawn so that only the narrator can see it and would bleed until the narrator goes to the manfish. Therefore, when the circle bleeds at the end on page 128, the significance that holds remains unclear to me. Another example is of Maria, who, on page 129, is described to have come back as “a fleshless skeleton”, but, on page 130, the narrator is leaving a letter for Maria, who is yet to come back. Although it is possible that the woman on page 129 is not Maria, if we presume that to be true, then it becomes unclear for whom the narrator bought a coat with silver buttons. Many other points of great confusion can be found, as well. Given the conditions the narrator is living in because of his exile (a hot, barren, dry land, where only insects seem to thrive) and the convoluted, fantastical nature of his narrative, I’m inclined to think that he has either been bitten by a disease-carrying insect, or is suffering from severe dehydration and malnutrition, and has started to hallucinate because of this. Moreover, on page 130, he mentions that his “head is roaring with fever”, and he barely knows what he has written, which further reinforces my belief in this interpretation. The narrator is possibly on the edge of dying, as well, as he uses phrases such as: “After that, the sun never came up." on page 129 and “Yesterday I met Barbara's father in the valley.” on page 130, when we know from earlier in the story that the sun is constantly drying the valley and that Barbara’s father has been dead for a long time. Overall, Protista is a very confusing story with quite an abrupt but also unsurprising ending, given the rest of the narrative (130).
Here lies, and none to mourn him but the sea,
The beginning line reminds me of the case of the Somerton Man, in which an unidentified man was found dead on the Somerton Park beach (which is in Australia) in 1948. To this day, his identity and the whereabouts of his death are still unknown. Because of this, I found this line to be eerily appropriate to his situation. No one mourned him except the sea because no one else knew who he was and he was found dead near the sea. Interestingly enough, this poem was written 14 years before the incident.

This reminds me of the paper we discussed on Wednesday. It really amazes me that species are able to survive through such extreme conditions- in this case the interglacial cycles!
Together they formed what we know today as Turtle Island, our home.
This reminds me of something that I read where indigenous people believed that the world is resting on a turtles shell and this originated because when turtles would go into deep hibernations they would get barried with dirt and such then emerge from it with a pile of dirt on their backs.
For these nativespecies, an arboreal habitat was no defenseagainst a tree-climbing predator.
This also reminds me of cats, and how they are an invasive species that's largely glossed over by humans because we like them. Animals that can fly or inhabit trees don't stand a chance against a small predator that can climb and jump extremely high. For the brown tree snake, a combination of climbing ability, camouflage, and native prey not recognizing it must have made for a quick invasion of the ecosystem.
sequesters salt, and when leaves fall anddecompose, the salt remains in the soil, renderingit inhospitable to native plants in California thatcannot tolerate such high salt concentrations
This reminds me of microorganisms called extremophiles. Is it possible that these higher salt concentrations make this specific environment a more ideal environment for new microorganisms to thrive? I am sure that this would greatly impact the ecosystem and survival of several organisms. This could even be how new diseases and viruses come to be. I would love to research this more! It is so fascinating how much everything in life is deeply connected without us realizing. It shows that even the smallest change, that may seem insignificant to us, can cause a huge butterfly effect.
The key to eradicating an introduced species be-fore it can spread widely is an early warning-rapid response system, and early warning re-quires an ongoing monitoring program. Becauseof the great expense of trained staff, few if anynations adequately monitor consistently for allsorts of invasions, although for specific habitats(e.g. waters in ports) or specific groups of species(e.g. fruitfly pests of agriculture) intensive ongo-ing monitoring exists in some areas.
This reminds me of efforts in florida to eradicate the invasive burmese python. In Florida it is legal to harvest all nonnative species, so these pythons are regularly eradicated by citizens. In the everglades the Nutria is incredibly invasive and damaging to the vegetation, these are also hunted by citizens. Although invasive species as a whole are a negative, at least their eradication can give citizens a nice hobby.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both
This reminds me of Santiago's choice of having to pick a path in life.
Yoden’s earlier version, Ishida’s lyrics no longer imagine the bungling antics of a troupe of “black” Islander men competing for the love of a chiefly woman; the presumably Japanese narrator of the song has already claimed her, like Japan has claimed the Marshall Islands, as his own.
land is feminized in order to be taken freely. if the 'chiefly woman' chooses the Japanese colonizer/imperialist then the community must follow (as their children will too) and the land becomes that for the colonizer too.
reminds me of berdache being homo-eroticized so that the men were entirely feminized leaving the space for the white colonizer to come and 'take' the 'native woman' and land as one/same.
and other bots—will react in the real world.
Even though this is fiction, it just seems crazy to have to account for how "other bots" would react to reading something. I feel like we are not too far from this already. In "The Social Dilemma" the people who have worked at companies like Google and Facebook talk about how they use AI to determine what to show users next. This line reminds me of the dramatized scenes in the film.
The closest neighbor of the meme concept in both popular and academic discourse is “viral.”
honestly I cannot communicate with anyone who considers the term "viral" to mean the same thing as MEME, just reminds me of some crazy baby boomer trying too hard to seem "hip". Meme is content, viral is an action of sharing.
once a photo, or a video, reaches a certain degree of popularity on the Web, you can bet that someone, somewhere, will alter it.
This reminds me of “stitch tik toks”. This is when another user adds onto a preexisting video. These videos constantly go viral. It’s a way to connect with each other and make new trends.
emix-based clips
reminds me of andy from the office when a remix was made of him crying at that american idol show
What matters is something Frey and others are calling “emotional truth.”
This line reminds me of an essay I've read by Toni Morrison called "The Site of Memory." In this essay, Morrison describes the most crucial difference between literature is not fact and fiction, but rather between fact and truth. She explains that a personal truth is removed from fact, that an emotional experience is separate from reality. She explains that both truth and fact are valid; however, they are answers to completely different questions. Memoirs are, in a way, fact and truth in conversation. It is a verifiable timeline through a lens of personal emotions, truths, and experiences. Truth is imperative for authentic understanding and empathy, whereas fact allows for a stable frame to work within. As such, Morrison would approve of a memoir's fusion nature, between truth and fact, rather than fact and fiction.
Indeed, rich conversational spaces opened as we talked about our respective career dreams and our pathways toward achieving those goals, with the girls raising questions (e.g., “Why did you choose to join your sorority?”) and making connections (e.g., “You saw [the movie] The Hate U Give? I want to see that!”). Finally, we discussed Sealey-Ruiz’s (2016) question, “What does it mean to be young, Black, and female in America?” (p. 290), in a free-flowing conversation related to intersectionality, identity, and the digital tools that the girls perceived to be important for their futures.
This moment reminds me that so much of this dreaming work requires intentionality within dialogue...working alongside rather than on behalf of communities to raise inquiries and offer moments for/of reflection, especially when it comes to young girls in schools.
Therefore, we witness that the control of mental analysis is at least partially outside of the control of the individual having the thought
Really reminds me of the movie Get Out
“Mitt Romney Style,” “Singaporean Style,” and “Arab Style.”
I do remember this and like said before I found it ridiculously annoying not being able to escape this song or remixes but it also kind of reminds me of little nas X's big hit old town road which I felt had a similar public response that I hated until the remix with Billy ray cyrus, Mason Ramsey and young thug came out which I considered an instant classic.
It has been 101 years since the citizens of Puerto Rico were collectively naturalized as U.S. citizens under the Jones Act of 1917. The act was meant to deal with the fact that Puerto Rico was neither a U.S. state nor an independent country. “It was foreign to the United States in a domestic sense,” said a 1901 Supreme Court decision.
This situation reminds me the relationship between China mainland and Taiwan.
“We would all like to have a warning bell that rings loudly whenever we are about to make a serious error,”
This reminds me of the feeling you get after making a mistake, where you with you were able to have insight into the future.
The anchoring effect is our tendency to rely too heavily on the first piece of information offered, particularly if that information is presented in numeric form, when making decisions, estimates, or predictions. This is the reason negotiators start with a number that is deliberately too low or too high: They know that number will “anchor” the subsequent dealings.
This reminds me of algorithms on social media, we only view the very first things we see on our feed and they are so often specifically geared towards us.
Thus, such memes are emblems of a culture saturated with personal branding and strategic self-commodification.
This reminds me of the GIF activity we did in class on Wednesday. We take a pre-existing image, and add our own caption when sharing with others. This creates a personal branding aspect to the existing image.
We can help communities makeinformed food choices.
this reminds me of the phrase, "it takes a village".
I was surprised that among so many men of genius, who had directed their inquiries towards the same science, that I alone should be reserved to discover so astonishing a secret.
He knows that this would be frowned upon if others knew about this. It is this sense of forbidden knowledge that reminds me of Faustaus.
Other income differences—the effects of discrimination, coercion, or accidents of birth for example, are regarded by many as unfair.
The "accidents of birth" in relation to justifying why there is economic income inequality reminds me and connects to another concept called the social determinants of health. An article titled A Conceptual Framework for Action on the Social Determinants of Health written by Orielle Solar and Alec Irwin in the University of Maryland describes how one's health can be predetermined or correlated with their social characteristics (sex, gender, race, socioeconomic background, etc). Similarly, this reminded me of "accidents of birth" where one's social characteristics influence their income and economic mobility which thus "justifies" income inequality to an extent. Personally, I find both these concepts a concern that needs to combated institutionally in order for economic and health mobility to become accessible to all people.
When the Nuer were threatened by an outside force, they unified and organised to a high degree of political complexity in order to respond to the challenge. When the menace subsided, they diversified and atomised.
This reminds me about both the lecture we watched on Afghan tribes and on the readings about the Turkmen.

this kind of prejudice can be seen so many different places; it reminds me of how peoplecall mattapan "murderpan" when these kinds of stereotypes often stem from racism
That heaven itself in arms could not persuade
The man has a large sense of pride and willingness to be strong and conceited that even after he has moved onto the afterlife, the perfection of this Heaven can't convince him to set his personal ideas of victories aside as it will taint his ego.
This reminds me of the idea of people who enjoy popularity and fame in small towns/schools especially, that once you graduate and/or leave, everyone forgets about you and you have lost that small town identity.
Here lies, and none mourn him
Immediately I interpreted this to be the voice of an angry partner, happy at the death of their failed loved one. I think with some of the imagery surrounding the character of the 'Man' in the poem and the desperate fall of him, I still read it in this tone that is filled with irony and unspoken scorn. It reminds me of Beyoncé's visual album Lemonade and the poetry by Warsan Shire the precedes all the songs (though in this verse, exhibiting the same words, the roles are flipped with the disdain partner being the one who has died)
And be as dust among the dusts that blow? Whence, whence the broadside? whose the heavy blade? . . .
I think she’s asking like, “who decides these things? Who’s cutting men down and returning them to dust that blows away in the wind?” This reminds me of Ecclesiastes 2, “So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind...”
Or trade the memory of this night for food. It well may be. I do not think I would.
I think she’s saying that, love doesn’t get us all of these material things we need to sustain us, and yet we all crave it and wouldn’t give it up even if doing so could give us material things we need. This poems reminds me of Matthew 6:25-26, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?”
who was shot at close range in the head but survived, wounding 13others, and killing six, including a child named Christina Green and U.S. federal judgeJohn Roll.
This part of the speech reminds me to the Obama speech, as it seems like this can appeal to the audiences emotions, of grievance and loss. When a speaker says something like this in a dramatic way, its can make painful memories bubble up.
many speciesmove between and use multiple patches in thelandscape; and (iii) conservation managers mustmanage entire landscapes (not just individualfragments) and therefore require an understand-ing of the desirable properties of whole land-scapes.
This reminds me of Dr. O'Donnell's work with the brook trout! Along with tagging the trout, she has to set up multiple places to track their movement as fish don't stay in one spot for very long.
In the Western Australian wheatbelt (Figure 5.2),massive loss of native vegetation has resulted in arise in the level of groundwater, bringing storedsalt (NaCl) to the surface where it accumulatesand reduces agricultural productivity and trans-forms native vegetation (Hobbs 1993).
Reminds me of the destructive results of using road salts on icy roads and how they impeded natural growth off the sides of the roads. I also thought how this could be a positive feedback loop where road salts prevent vegetative growth, which in turn raises the groundwater level due to lack of vegetation, which brings stored salt to the surface, which then causes the cycle again.
relict landscapes with little (<10%) cover oforiginal vegetation, set within highly modifiedsurroundings
This reminds me of golf courses and how they will replace that grass that is already there and put new species in and will leave the out of bounds areas untouched. I wonder how have the new species of grass will affect the native species of the area
When populations become small and isolated,they become vulnerable to a number of stochastic(or chance) processes that may pose little threat tolarger populations.
This reminds me with what happened with the native wolves of isle royale national park in UP of Michigan. Due to such low numbers in population it lead to loss of genetic variation.
And although these videos often have a happy tear-jerker of an ending the reality isn't always so shiny and perfect.
This reminds me of who toxic social media can be. When we see these videos we believe that is it the best thing ever because someone is finally able to do something they weren't able to before. But really these can created many challenges for the person being effected in a sense that they have to relearn so many things soley because social media has made them believe that. These people have to go through therapy just to be able to understand noises, this can be extremely frustrating and overwhelming for the individual being effected.
censorship and self-regulation
This whole theme being talked about in the context off this era reminds me of the propaganda push that effected theaters and movies during war time. pushing the agenda of a nation to reach its people. Great example of this was in Nazi German.

The able-bodied individual moves through the art space with very little consideration as to how it is constructed to cater to their comfort, causing distinct discomfort and challenge for all those who are not able-bodied like them. Navigating the art space as an ill/ disabled individual, one becomes hyperaware of the stark lack of accessibility. It is vitally important to understand that the othering of the disabled body in the physical space of the museum correlates directly to the stark lack of representation of sick/ disabled bodies in the artwork exhibited, and in the artists represented. The lack of accessibility within the art space creates a closed feedback-loop, where the sick/ disabled are unrepresented, and treated as anomalous visitors. The hostility of the space discourages or altogether prevents disabled individuals from fully entering the space, cementing a vicious cycle of exclusion. These systems of (mis)representation are built to keep the sick and disabled hidden away, taboo bodies treated as anomalies.
This reminds me of the way different bodies have been Othered in exhibition spaces, from "circus freaks" to the "Venus Hottentot."
including restricted access to facilities, meager funding, and grossly unequal treatment compared to the male rowers.
This reminds me of the U.S. Women's Team having to play on poor field conditions, risking being hurt, because they were not given the same field conditions as the men were.
In the personal control system, what matters far more than formal status is the feelings ofparent and child. Parents back up their appeals by such statements as “because it would mean alot to me” or “because I’m very tired.” Appeals are also aimed at the child’s feelings. Amother using personal control in the situation above might say: “Why do you want to play withthe doll? They’re so boring. Why not play with the drum?” In positional families, controlworks against the child’s will. In personal families, control works through that will. Thus achild who says “I don’t want to kiss grandpa—why must I kiss him always?” will be answeredin different ways. Positional: “Children kiss their grandpa,” and “He’s not well—I don’t wantany of your nonsense.” Person
I wish my parents had been more positional with me growing up. Positional very much reminds me of just saying "because you can't" when asked why a child cannot d something. While the reasons may be fictitious in the personal approach, it certainly would help for the child to see reasons.
Glory be to God for dappled things
This poem reminds me of the romantic time. It is about the beauty of nature and the influence of God on the world.
But in credibly neutral mechanism design, the goal is that these desired outcomes are not written into the mechanism; instead, they are emergently discovered from the participants’ actions. In a free market, the fact that Charlie’s widgets are not useful but David’s widgets are useful is emergently discovered through the price mechanism: eventually, people stop buying Charlie’s widgets, so he goes bankrupt, while David earns a profit and can expand and make even more widgets. Most bits of information in the output should come from the participants’ inputs, not from hard-coded rules inside of the mechanism itself.
This reminds me of Hayek worrying about the components/primitives of capitalism (e.g. property rights) were being corrupted by socialists.
You could view the proper "pure" component of capitalism being credibly neutral property rights, and it becomes corrupted if you make it non-credibly neutral, e.g. you introduce preferences in terms of the outcomes.
thither
The general thematic tone really reminds me of the work of William Blake, not only with the use of esoteric language such as "thither" but also the way the speaker makes profound insights from observing animals.
Spring is the mischief in me,
This kind of reminds me of that one line in T.S Elliot's "The Wasteland" that states that "April is the cruelest month." Particularly since April is in spring. Although Frost's line doesn't indicate as much despair and suffering. Spring is often represented as the season of rebirth and growth, so perhaps this lines implies a want for change and to question the pointless rituals we do.
the two envelopes.
(106)There is a sense of dualism in this phrase - the recurring two envelopes as well as Harry's notions of good and evil throughout the short story. Harry believes that success is true good (102). Being raised by a racist preacher, Harry's idea on success is either having money and style, as well as having a white chick around. Him betraying his own people by acting as a spy for the Special Branch is probably also a form of success, since he does not want to have anything to do with other black people. For him, they are "evil", since their suffering is like an "in-built element in life" (102). The white envelope Harry receives from the black detective on p. 103 might be payment for giving out information. However, it is taken from his hands by Philip, who adds another envelope and creates a game-like situation. It reminds me of the trick magicians do when they hide a ball underneath two cups and move them around in an attempt to fool you. Philip is probably reveling in Harry's suffering, making him feel weak and exposed for daring to betray them. Maybe the envelopes are a way to confront Harry's simplistic view on the world - you don't really know what is inside the envelopes, just as you don't really know what good and evil is.
Stephen was an avid reader of the Heinemann African Writers Series. He firmly believed that there was something peculiarly African in anything written by an African and said that therefore European tools of criticism should not be used in the analysis of 'African literature'.
First, I love the image created here. At first, we see this "typical African bully", who fights people, but then, we see that his character has a lot more depth to it, as he reads a lot, and even has formed a strong opinion about who should criticise the writing he likes. Here, we not only see an educated bully, but we see a man, who has developed an attachment to the literature he reads, and wants to protect it from people, who may defame it; we see a caring side in his character. Then, the topic, discussed in the second sentence reminds me on a topic we talked about last semester. Whether or not a person should write about a culture, whom he is not a part of. During the time of the discussion, I was on the side that people should write about the different cultures. However, here I stand with Stephen, because during that time people from outside of Africa couldn't really see or get an understanding of the traditions, mentality and state of being of the African community, since Britian controlled the information, which was lead out to the world. Critisizing an African poem, with European standards, which the Africans don't know, neither do they try to appeal to, would be unfair, and just a disrespect to the writing. Which again, displays that Stephen doesn't want people to voice their opinions on communities they only view from the top, and don't know the story of. Lastly, his name comes from the Bible. And Stephen there was the person, who helped poorer people out. So, here, again, Marechera uses Bible allusions to hint the characters of the people in his writing.
white officers
Reminds me of the trope of the white savior. Its basis is a story about people of color that centers on the benevolent actions of a white character, who usually tries to help them as they see fit but inevitably steals the attention of the public. It also puts on a white lens on the black experiences, which one could argue to be an analogy of all of the stories (accurate or not) white people have told about black people at that time. (73)
Peter
Even though the mother of the protagonist is a protector of traditions and goes against his English education, she has also given her other son Peter an English name. I believe deep down as a mother she might understand the advantages which may come with that name (Peter will be perceived better when applying with his documents because of the already ingrained belief that white is better and more sophisticated than black therefore there will be a natural and subconscious preference to a white name). She may have also named him like that just because many colonists have white-washed the names of the Rhodesian people in a way to take away their identity. This very much reminds me of mass name changing and 1989 ethnic cleansing of ethic Turks and Roma people from Bulgaria during the communist regime. The Islamic faith as well as names typical to the ethnicity were forcibly changed to Bulgarian to ensure the thorough mixing of all people in one - after all the leading ideal was that everyone should be the same.
one side of which was always expressed in English and the other side always in Shana
(53) One of the main internal conflicts the narrator is dealing with is between his identity as a Zimbabwean and his kinship with the English language. Marechera himself stated that he associates his native language, Shona, with the misery of the ghettos, while the English language provided him with a gateway to another world. The main character is divided between the two cultures, and this conflict may be a reason for confusion and indecision. This dualistic way of thinking reminds me of Asterios Polyp, who always views the world in terms of two opposing ideas, such as logic and creativity.
Multiple Means of Engagement refers to designing learning experiences based on students’ interests and motivations (e.g., giving students choice in their learning experience, the content, and the technologies they use). Multiple Means of Representation means providing more than one way to access and learn the content (e.g., an e-book that features text, embedded videos, and virtual manipulatives). Multiple Means of Action and Expression provides students with multiple ways to show their understanding of the content (e.g., giving them a digital media choice board).
These three principles reminds me a lot of my teachers in High School, where they would ask students how could they improve in the classroom. Whether it was the way they taught, how could they help students better, what would the students like to do, etc. These three means are great guidelines for both parties, students and teachers, to work in a successful environment. I think when you consider the different ways to teach and learn to using different tools/materials makes the learning process more open-ended and creative.
This reminds me of a viral video that is going around right now. It's a college professor yelling at one of his students for not paying attention when she's actually hard o fhearing and delayed in the class because she has to wait for everything the professor is saying to be interpreted. It is actually really sad to watch, he shows no remorse for the student even after other students back them up. He goes on to say that they are not paying attention, when that is not the case at all. This just goes to show that although some sites and resources may seem accessible for all students, sometimes there are other factors you may not be considering.
The design of the tool plays an important role in understandability as well. Tools and apps should not provide too much information at once (causing cognitive overload) or feature advertisements or extraneous materials that can distract the learner.
This makes sense and also reminds me of a website that we looked at in class the other day. This website was ScribbleMaps, and the home page was very crowded with so many things to click on. It can be overwhelming to have too much going on on a particular website, and can turn people away from using it.
Can you undo if you make a mistake?
This reminds me of the time when I would answer questions on Moodle instead of copying the questions and answering it on a Google Doc. In which, Moodle would time out and my answers would disappear. I learn my lesson and would always use Google docs because it automatically saves my answer. So when you are doing an assignment or playing around with software make sure you get familiar with what tools works the best for you.
Anewmediaobjectisnotsomethingfixedonceandforall,butsomethingthatcanexistindifferent,potentiallyinfiniteversions.
This reminds me of a conversation that was being had a few years ago when Kanye West released his album and then updated it a week later. A lot of people were discussing the idea changing an album, film, etc. after it has already been released and consumed.
Whilesomeoldmediasuchasphotographyandsculpturearetrulycon-^**vtinuous,mostinvolvethecombinationofcontinuousanddiscretecoding.
I find this comparison between old media and newer media really interesting. It just reminds me of how much technology has improves over the years and how we are able to do so much more advanced things in more efficient ways.
Suchaphotographconsistsofanumberofforderlydots(i-e->samples),althoughthediametersandareasofdotsvaryb*Vy*/"ftcontinuously
I think its really cool to think of pictures this way. It reminds me of pointilism art, but the dots are so small and precise that the image is seamless
Pullman Porters, would not have died in vain. When Mrs. Parks
The poem thus far does not talk about Pullman Porters who have been beaten and/or lynched. In fact, the poem has by this point drawn away from the Porters and I almost forgot about them. This line snaps me back into place, reminds me of the beginning, and makes me wonder "How many Pullman Porters were killed and what were their names?" Does anyone remember them? It's difficult to think about.
My Two Spirit identity informs how I interact with other Indigenous folks in a variety of contexts, guides how I engage with the world at large, and most importantly it influences how I experience, and am in relationship, with myself.
This reminds me of the idea we were talking in class about different lenses of identity through which one views the world
gender expression and identity, not sexual orientation.
This reminds me of one of the readings from last week that defined sex as only the actual act, and separated orientation from sex entirely
During the ‘inasi ceremony, offerings of the first fruits were presented to Hikule‘o in the hope of persuading her to bless the crops of Tonga with a good yield
This reminds me of the "Makahiki" in the Hawaiian culture.
The story of Maui: a deified ancestor.
Maui reminds me of Hercules in Roman mythology. Both figures are powerful, young men who are demi-gods and they go on supernatural adventures to help their people. A specific example is the belief of how BOTH Maui and Hercules held up the sky (Hercules holding up the heavens for Atlas). It's crazy how different cultures thousands of miles away with no contact amongst each other came up with somewhat similar stories!
voyeur-god created by this fiction, who, like Schreber’s God, knows only cadavers,’ must disentangle himself from the murky intertwining daily behaviors and make himself alien to them.
reminds me of Islamic art especially from Persia where painting from the "God's perspective" was the only way to see true beauty
The trace left behind is substituted for the practice.
reminds me of a simulacrum, like prints or photo negatives footprints are each individually copies and gain meaning in this context when repeated with others, the original shoe/person is forgotten.
Influence/Leadership - As an IC, you are responsible for influencing your peers on your direct team. As you become a manager, you need to influence the people you directly manage, but also indirectly influence people you don't manage. Then as you move up in management, you do less direct downward influencing and more indirect influencing across the company. Influence is the hardest skill, because it depends on the characters around you. You can be great at it, but perhaps the people around you aren't.
reminds me a bit of managing up / managing across.
I also remember before I became a manager, I was in a spot where it felt like I had 'lots of influence, but little authority' - which was an interesting but useful spot to be in. expand on tk
I think whites are carefully taught not to recognize white privilege, as males are taught not to recognize male privilege.
I think this is extremely true, yet for some reason it is "taboo" to call white people out for it. This reminds me of how in one article we read about a white woman who told the judge that she was uncomfortable with how the results of a black man's trial came out and he told her she did not have to worry about it as long as she did her job (or something along the lines of that). However, once she rebelled against this, she was imprisoned just like that. This goes to show that it is a white person's worst nightmare for their white privilege to be corrupted because they're too comfortable within it to even recognize it. It also shows the juxtaposition between white and black people as we are taught to be hyperaware of our race.
yet at the same time it impacts our way of understanding these issues in a particular way: the decolonial way of thinking
This kind of reminds me of framing, that we have been taught to understand contexts in a specific given way which eventually lead us to categorise groups of people in these ways
delink in order to re-exist
The essence of what the author is arguing is the absolute necessity to delink from Western narratives, in order to re-exist, or even re-affirm our existence. An existence that is not shaped by a Western perspective, but it's rather self-written. This concept reminds me of what bell hooks argued against Laura Mulvey's theorization of the male gaze and its manifestation in classical cinema. While Mulvey argues for the complete passivity of female characters - who can either identify with the victim of objectification or the "bearer of the look" - thus reinforcing the objectification itself, hooks believes an oppositional reading is possible. An oppositional gaze, as she names it, is one that decides not to identify with either the victim or the perpetrator and rather suggest that women "look back" and re-write their own history. Delink in order to re-exist.
More often than not, convention-watchers have to endure hours of mangled metaphors and twice-masticated cliches before a moment of eloquence emerges.
This reminds me of many speeches I have heard about important things that I just could not get myself to focus on. It is unfortunate that after so much talk it can appear that you don't remember a thing that was said. Sometimes there can be one quote or metaphor that sticks with you for the rest of the speech, and other times its as if you were not even present.
Quantity, quality, location, and timing of waterprovision determine the scale and impact ofhydrologic services (Braumanet al.2007
This is relevant everywhere, but it reminds me of Plymouth in particular due to the high volume of water maintenance that occurs here. Rather than funnel extra money towards reworking and improving the infrastructure in the long term, short term fixes are what's preferred. This could be a timing issue- that project is unlikely to be completed in the May-August timeline when most students are off-campus. Ultimately not caring about hydrologic infrastructure leads to more money and time spent in the long term, as well as several short term inconveniences to the people affected.
Greenhouse andfield experiments have con-firmed that biodiversity does increase ecosystemproductivity, while reducingfluctuations in pro-ductivity (Naeemet al.1995; Tilmanet al.1996).Although increased diversity can increase thepopulationfluctuations of individual species, di-versity is thought to stabilize overall ecosystemfunctioning (Chapinet al.2000; Tilman 1996) andmake the ecosystem more resistant to perturba-tions (Pimm 1984)
This reminds me of the wolves that were taken out of Yellowstone in that once they were removed, the diversity and balance of plant and animal life were thrown off. This also led to erosion of river banks as Elk population rose due to no longer being hunted by the wolves, so the elk were eating more of the vegetation which held the soil together on the banks of the rivers.
Here is a wikipedia on the event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_wolves_in_Yellowstone
Edit: Reading the next page, this is briefly explained as well
Earth wouldnot befit for our survival if it were not for plantsthat have created and maintained a suitable at-mosphere
This reminds me so much of a time during Botany with Dr. Jolles when she said something along the lines of, "plants dont need us, we need them. they would do much better without our help". I think that goes to say something about humans in general that we try to hard to put our touch on things and make them "better", when realistically, they thrive much better without our "Help"
And the more we learn, the more we are—or ought to be—dumbfounded
This line reminds me of the podcast we listened to for the asynchronous work, where the doctor says that in the present day he feels that he knows less about the Coronavirus than he did multiple months ago, as the more he learns about it, the more he realizes how little he knows.
Phenakistoscopes (1832), zoetropes (1834), and praxinoscopes (1877)offered primarily symmetrical and seamless loops, often illustrations of people or animals in motion.
This reminds me of the view master that I used to have. Seems to be a similar concept to me.

Rather than seeing the girl as the victim, Houck faulted her for the attack, which is troublesome but unsurprising, given mainstream media’s coverage of brutality against Black bodies. Aside from victim blaming, Houck attempted to legitimize the brutal-ity “through a discourse of demonization, stereotypes, and objectification
This reminds me of Royster's notion of spirit murdering that happens in schools.
the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.
Reminds me of Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed
Triolets, villanelles, rondels, rondeaus,
I appreciate the way this calls attention to the effort behind writing and some different forms of poetry which do take intention to create. Talking about writing reminds me of “The Yellow Wallpaper” since the narrator discusses her attempts to write and it’s tiresome effects at times.
As if to destroy the last vestige Of my memory and influence
Reminds me of the adage one only really dies when their name is spoken for the last time. Creation and art certainly inspire a sense of immortality, and it is a tragedy to rob an artist of that sense.
“What is the use of knowing the evil in the world?”
This passage reminds me of the Henry Adams piece where he contemplates the usefulness of knowledge. Does increased knowledge lead to increased understanding? Or is it the opposite? The idea of knowing creates a confusion.
babies need to learn to pay attention and listen in order to be able to learn to communicate a
This reminds me of my mom telling me how she constantly spoke to me when I was younger, allowing me to create full sentences from a pretty early age. Based on this, I wonder what the implications would be/how language would develop in children who did NOT have guardians that speak with them and maintain eye contact... I would guess it would be quite the opposite, but it's an interesting thing to consider.
The post-Sputnik support for science along with the rise of the women’s movement and the emergence of the academic field of women’s studies facili-tated the organization of women’s groups in science
this reminds me of the movie "Hidden Figures"

there always seems to be someone sacrificed for a movement to be taken serious. This reminds me of the countless of Black lives lost, and how vital George Floyd's murder kickstarted a whole new revolution within the younger generation.
e unpronounceable
this brings me back memories of my childhood education. Having a "foreign" name read by all my Caucasian teachers growing up left me feeling alienated and never enough. The mirror replicated the standard reminds me of how Eurocentric our standard of meritocracy is in the US and how anything that doesn't come to par is dismissed as unworthy. Immigrants and non-Caucasian Americans have always felt exiled, even when they put effort to to adopt more Western culture in their lives. The most perfect example is adopting a "American" name, a name with pronunciation that is easy for native English speakers to remember and say and a name that comes with familiarity and comfort. The effort that non-Caucasian / immigrants have made to achieve the heavily advertised American Dream is nothing but years of alienation and distrust.
This reminds me WAYYYY too much of the separate but equal thing that we learned about with the train cars before which made segregation legal in some states. That was obviously found unconstitutional at some point after that so how is this okay.
It is the existence of the child, and their knowledge of its existence, that makes possible the nobility of their architecture, the poignancy of their music, the profundity of their science. It is because of the child that they are so gentle with children. They know that if the wretched one were not there sniveling in the dark, the other one, the flute-player, could make no joyful music as the young riders line up in their beauty for the race in the sunlight of the first morning of summer.
This reminds me of people gaining fortunes from the suffering of others.
A
Jansen (2005) wrote about the importance of role modeling, which reminds me of the individual choice book I am reading. Fitzpatrick (2019), author of Generous Thinking, wrote about the university's role in leading and modeling for the rest of society. It is our responsibility to demonstrate love and kindness to all individuals through celebrating diversity of all kinds (race, religion, gender, customs, etc.) if we want the rest of society to follow suit.
Of course, many Americans failed to understand the intricate relationship between Native Americans and their land partly because “the dream of an unworked natural landscape is very much the fantasy of people who have never themselves had to work the land to make a living”
The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.
Exactly what I was thinking. She said my thoughts perfectly. I love the way she tells the audience about a single story, and how it makes humans see certain groups a specific way. It reminds me of the stereotype that Asians are good at math. It becomes the first thing people think of when they think of Asians. It is very narrow-minded of us.
main
reminds me of the "mane" with multiple meanings/puns used earlier in this scene. Not sure if there is any connection or deeper meaning here, though.
One copper-plate Mrs Veneering, two copper-plate Mr Veneerings, and a connubial copper-plate Mr and Mrs Veneering, requesting the honour of Mr and Mrs Boffin’s company at dinner with the utmost Analytical solemnities.
I was curious and googled the word "veneering," and it means to "cover (something) with a decorative layer of fine wood" or to "cover or disguise (someone or something's true nature) with an attractive appearance." This second definition perfectly describes the Veneerings in the book - newly rich people seeking to flaunt their wealth and wanting to fit into high society even though it wouldn't traditionally be seen as their social class since theirs is not an old and generationally wealthy family. I've read Dickens books before and I've seen him do this sort of thing in his other novels too - naming characters in such a way as to reveal their characters. It reminds me of allegories, where characters can be named "Happy" or "Beauty", etc. and that's literally what the character is.
plant responses to gravity and temperature.
I learned about this my freshman year at a different college. It is terrifying to me how "smart" plants are....how do they react to things without thinking? and this advanced?
Also, this reminds me of how vines grow and literally climb things, without eyes or brains. Honestly a horror movie.

But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t already feeling daunted by yet another set of artifacts, upgrade nodes, and season pass rewards to rank up.\n\nThe villains du jour this time around are remnants of the Red Legion, a faction that now controls the Cabal and is loosely inspired by the Roman Empire. Empress Caiatl, daughter of year one raid boss Callus, wants you and the Vanguard to pledge allegiance to her, but of course Zavala, Osiris and co. aren’t having it. And so the two sides are at war (again), providing a new reason to shoot legions of lumbering space Goombas in search of new rewards and lore dumps.\n\nI’ve played around with the new content for about three hours now. So far most of my impressions are pretty positive, though I’m less hopeful about the larger existential questions swirling around Destiny 2 as it passes the halfway point of its fourth year. Here’s a quick rundown:\n\nThe launching area for Season of the Chosen is called the H.E.L.M., which is an acronym for Destiny gibberish that exited one ear shortly after entering the other. It’s a big space full of hallways and closed doors that seem likely to open up later in the season or sometime further down the road. In the meantime it’s kind of empty and lonely, though I do love the Star Trek: The Next Generation-style polished wood surrounding the war table.\n\nThe war table is where you grab seasonal bounties, upgrade seasonal nodes, and cash in seasonal currency for new seasonal engrams. It seems modeled after Variks’ upgrade nodes from Europa, which were nice and streamlined compared to seasons past.\n\nThe H.E.L.M. is also where the Prismatic Recaster, brought back from Season 11, is now located. Here you can refocus Umbral Engrams, which have also returned, transforming them into Season of the Chosen weapons and armor or into random gear from the rest of the game’s current loot pool. It appears to be currency-based, rather than upgrade-driven like the original version, which is a relief, since grinding that thing the first time around was painful enough.\n\nThe highlight of Season of the Chosen is the new Battlegrounds activity. It can be accessed from the surface on Nessus and Europa, or from the Strike Playlist after completing some initial story quests. You fight waves of enemies in a patrol area, then head deeper into one of the nearby underground caverns, fight more waves of enemies, and eventually end up at a Cabal boss in a small arena filled with still more waves of enemies. It’s short, varied, and a breezy way to burn through bounties—everything you’d want from a seasonal activity you might be running dozens of times a week.\n\nAt the end of a run you get your normal Strike Playlist rewards chest, followed by a second Battlegrounds chest you can smash open if you’ve charged up your Cabal hammer artifact. This Hammer is like Season of Opulence’s Chalice. You insert gold coins you earn throughout other activities in order to unlock the extra chest, and the way you upgrade the hammer will affect what rewards are inside. Opening treasure chests is fun. Smashing them is even more fun. Again, nothing new here, but this loot loop feels better optimized than many of Destiny 2’s past ones.\n\nThe Crow has finally left the Tangled Shore and is ready to hang. He’s even got a Phantom of the Opera mask Osiris makes him wear so that no one else in the Last City recognizes him and goes “Oh shit, you killed Cayde-6, aka Nathan Fillion.” It’s a nice touch. Hopefully he becomes more involved as the season progresses.\n\nThere’s a new exotic bow called Ticuu’s Divination that reminds me of Gears of War’s Torque Bow. Fire it from the hip and three homing shots will whip around corners to hone in on a target. Hold down and fire a precision shot at that target and it will explode with a detonation that is both satisfying and perfect for ripping through Cabal mobs. I don’t normally like bows, but I like this one. The rest of the new exotic gear looks similarly powerful, which is good for providing new loot to chase but also makes the older stuff I already have feel boring by comparison.\n\nThe new patch is live, and seasonal challenges have replaced weekly bounties. As someone who almost never finished weekly bounties, I’m looking forward to this change. In a game that feels increasingly transient, having season long challenges is both easier to keep track of and feels more substantial. Swords have been nerfed too, but I (and everyone else I see) are still using them just fine in Battlegrounds. Meanwhile, rocket launchers were buffed, but I’m still not sold on them. Bungie also boosted recoil for PC players ahead of the cross-play update planned in the near future. I imagine this will suck for PC players, but I don’t play on PC so I can’t say at the moment.\n\nSunsetting is more of a bummer than ever. As some of my favorite weapons get closer to their power cap (I’ll never let you go, Gnawing Hunger), Bungie’s current approach to loot sustainability and sandbox balancing feels more misguided than ever. Philosophical disagreements aside, it is still completely bonkers to me that players have to grind for new versions of re-issued weapons rather than being able to infuse up the older but otherwise identical versions. Also I got another Long Shadow sniper rifle in one of my first few Legendary drops this season, and it’s still at an older cap than the current season’s. Why is this loot game wasting my time with arbitrary expiration dates?\n\nThe Devil’s Lair and Fallen SABER strikes from Destiny 1 are back and I missed them. The more time marches on, the more I long for the comparatively simple and straightforward pleasures of the first game.\n\nThere’s a lot planned for Season of the Chosen according to its content roadmap, including new versions of Battlegrounds and a new strike based in the Last City called Proving Grounds. Based on my first few hours with what’s already live, Season 13 seems like it will have as many good reasons for Destiny players to keep playing Destiny as any previous season. But so far it hasn’t shown any signs of doing anything bold to change up the game’s underlying formula or how players interact with it. At times that’s enough for me, but increasingly I find myself hoping for something more, and disappointed when it never quite materializes. \n\n\n","articleSection":"Impressions","keywords":["destiny","windows games","multiplayer video games","cabal","heroes of the storm","grinding","video gaming","games","video games","first person shooters","role playing video games","playerunknowns battlegrounds"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","@context":"http://schema.org","name":"Kotaku","url":"https://kotaku.com","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://x.kinja-static.com/assets/images/logos/amp/logo-kotaku-amp.png"},"sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/kotaku","https://www.youtube.com/user/KotakuNYC","https://twitter.com/kotaku","https://instagram.com/kotakudotcom"]},"video":[]}Ethan GachTuesday 7:00PM411

There had been, also, a ritual salute, which the official of the lottery had had to use in addressing each person who came up to draw from the box, but this also had changed with time, until now it was felt necessary only for the official to speak to each person
This part of the story reminds me of "The Hunger Games" a lot. I bet that they created that movie based off of this story. It's interesting how two stories can be so similar and so opposite at the same time.
I never thought I would have HIV. I had a belief that only “certain people” got AIDS
This reminds me of the discussions we have had in class about the lack information about AIDS/HIV we had been exposed to. It's sad to see how many lives are impacted by HIV simply because people are afraid or disagree.
The works share a tremendous amount having to do with withdrawal, retreat, and disappearance—what I call the logic of the lure
This piece of art reminds me of a Transmissions' video I watched as hw. The one where the men are telling stories from female narratives. I think women diagnosed with HIV/AIDs may understand the art. Their disappearance, completely unacknowledged.
Remembering a Grandparent after Suicide
+1 to Liz! Deeply personal and professionally executed...
It reminds me of a project from my undergrad (anthropology of folklore?) when we were to capture a story from a relative. At the time digital recordings were not so available, so I have the words but the audio is so much more powerful.
I was listening intently to your husbands experience, as I have a friend who's partner committed suicide about 7 years ago. It deeply impacted their life, and they are still searching and trying to understand. I have listened and talked with them many times, and it's difficult.
You lead the conversation well, and captured some genuine emotion this day - recounting this traumatic experience - and closed the podcast wonderfully.
self-sufficiently.
This concept of "self-sufficiency" in painting reminds me of Greenberg's philosophy on "purity" and making a painting "independent." While self-sufficiency in this case describes the individual parts of the painting rather than the whole painting itself, I think it still reflects how unique, abstract, and original Modernist paintings are.
over all the earth318 ferocious deeds prevail,—all men conspire319 in evil. Let them therefore feel the weight320 of dreadful penalties so justly earned,321 for such hath my unchanging will ordained.”
Reminds me of Genesis-how god created a flood to start over and punish/get rid of the majority of humans besides Noah and his family.
Avengers were not seen, for laws unframed123 were all unknown and needless. Punishment124 and fear of penalties existed not.125 No harsh decrees were fixed on brazen plates.126 No suppliant multitude the countenance127 of Justice feared, averting, for they dwelt128 without a judge in peace.
This reminds me of when Adam and Eve were in Eden before they ate from the tree of knowledge, and everything was peaceful for them.
he appearance of new necessities outmodes previous "inspired" works. They become obstacles, dangerous habits. The point is not whether we like them or not. We have to go beyond them.
This whole process reminds me of Mao's cultural revolution and the constant push to define a thesis, antithesis and synthesis. Wrt the redevelopment in the Powderhorn neighborhood which is best of the three, thesis (monument), antithesis (antimonument), or synthesis (something else)
themselves
"We don't want to teach children something that they can learn by themselves". This reminds me of a saying I heard (I don't remember the exact quote) that when you teach a child something that they could've done on their own, you also take away the child's joy in discovering what they know or are capable of.
your relationship
this reminds me of what we have learned about letting the child guide the learning and curriculum. In order to allow this to happen, you must have a relationship with the child that allows this flow of ideas and interests to be passed from the child to the teacher and to the environment
"absurdity of the whole activity,"
Reminds me of conceptual art as fully carrying out an absurd idea.
On this extremely hot summer day, the ear-splitting siren screaming through New York’s streets is coming from the ambulance I’m in—on a gurney on my way to the ER. That only makes the siren, loud as it is, all the more alarming.
this reminds me of the memoir draft we did. They are recalling the events that happened
we’re just adding data and notreorganizing anything
This reminds me so much of conceptual change processes, where one may have simple accretion, without changing underlying presuppositions and specific theories, vs more difficult theory revision to accommodate otherwise conflicting data.

This reminds me of our first reading in this class, discussing the role historians play. It is a good reminder going forward with reading this article.
If you were to discover that your Rolex is an inexpensive duplicate, you would experience the same effect.
This reminds me of a conversation I overheard in high school where a few boys in my class were gossiping about one of their friends who had impressed everyone with his $700 rare Nike sneakers but was now ridiculed because someone found out they were actually $100 replicas.
While I agree that without the story and emotion behind a luxury item, a dupe might be less enticing on a personal level I also think that owning a dupe is a social risk that would prevent someone from rewearing the hypothetical Rolex dupe. There is a risk in owning a knock-off luxury item in that if peers discover that the item is not genuine, it communicates that the owner is trying to pretend that they have enough wealth to purchase the item even though they only have enough for the cheaper knock-off.
Going back to the sneaker example, the boy would have been more respected had he just worn a pair of genuine $100 Nike Air Force 1's because he would be emulating wealth he did have rather than wealth he didn't have. Instead his knock-offs marked him as a "poser."
Rather, we respond to what we believe are objects’ deeper properties, including their histories.
I agree, it reminds me of a research assignment I did for my GESM on whether a person would spend a large amount of money (i.e hundred thousand dollars) to retrieve a lost watch they treasured which belonged to their grandfather, or to keep that large amount of money for themselves. Most of the people chose to spend it on retrieving the lost watch. History has value.
on’t nobody want to die, ever.”
This reminds me of a training I attended about suicide ideation. The facilitators said something to the effect of, "Most people who die by suicide don't actually want to die, they just want the suffering to end."
That statement resonates for me here.
Anyone seeking to understand thehistory and growth of conservation biology thusfaces inherent challenges. Thefield has formedtoo recently to be viewed with historical detach-ment, and the trends shaping it are still toofluidto be easily traced.
This reminds me of Dr. V and her views on entering any ESP related field. We have the ability to implement change and positivity to our natural world, but we also see A LOT of negativity that could turn one away from wanting to help.
“All nature,”he wrote,“is linkedtogether by invisible bonds, and every organiccreature, however low, however feeble, howeverdependent, is necessary to the well-being of someother among the myriad forms of life with whichthe Creator has peopled the earth.
Marsh's thinking is one that reminds me of early Native American cultures. Such cultures preached about the connectiveness between man and the natural world. What was taken from the earth was used in full and often returned. The linkage between nature and man has been slowly lost over time. Our disconnect from such areas has made humans think that all is for our advantage. It is astounding to think that once we were at the bottom of the pyramid and now are so high above it. Losing the connection with the natural world around us has created such divide.
are but the clerks of Time, Tiering the same dull webs of discontent,
Poets and kings reminds me of Plato's thought that only when philosophers become kings will there be true peace. Poets become the beacons of understanding society and the past, left with the burden of deciding what is worth in their lives to write about. They become our markers of time, conveying the zeitgeist of each era.
This required creating buttons that I programmed to allow readers to branch off from their present reading style.
I hadn't thought of or really ever learned about this concept or non linear texts but I definitely want to look further into it and see things presented in a different way than I'd ever put them. Whenever I see things in a different light, my mind is blown because it reminds me the way I'm used isn't the only way, which I can sometimes get caught up in, and it is so refreshing to see other ways of doing things or learn that other people do them so differently from me.
Puerto Rico forces players to investigate a constantly shiftinggame environment, use an inquiry-like process of considering options, and evaluate both theirgame play and the play of others.
This reminds me of Catan or Risk, those games definitely have niche players that enjoy to be challenged rather than those kids that state they "don't like to think" when playing games.
The published map contains only the new names of Cambridge public spaces, along with the reasons why people renamed particular places
I like this concept--giving the current citizens of a place the power to rename these public spaces gives them a certain power--because names have power. I think this speaks to appropriate representation of the community because only these people know the lived experience of their own spaces.
This reminds me of some other changes--not necessarily name changes--that are finally happening today, for example when we see the overdue removal of Confederate statues, renaming places named after Confederate figures, and the redesign of the $20 bill to feature Harriet Tubman instead of Jackson. I think these changes, though they don't actually change the overall spaces or worth of these object/places, have significant impact on the associated meanings and values. These examples, like the name changes discussed in this article, represent a wave of changing culture that more accurately represents a changing demographic of citizens.
Unwanted and unprotected, Russian Jews saw little hope for improve-ments in their native land. Indeed, the czarist government pointed to emi-gration as a solution open to Jews.
This reminds me of how during slavery in the United States, the Pan African movement was happening and Lincoln encouraged the idea of all African Americans being freed and sent to Africa
Transclusion would make this whole scenario quite different. Let's imagine this again...
Many in the IndieWeb have already prototyped this using some open web standards. It's embodied in the idea of media fragments and fragmentions, a portmanteau of the words fragment and Webmention.
A great example can be found at https://www.kartikprabhu.com/articles/marginalia
This reminds me that I need to kick my own server to fix the functionality on my main site and potentially add it to a few others.
To be sure, memory defined history, ethics and art well before the late nineteenth century.
This reminds me of the idea of history being "written by the victors." That is, in order to maintain one's memory and use it in a meaningful manner, one must be:
To avoid repeating past mistakes, one must look back at one's memory, or, baring that, history. History is crafted from the recorded memories of those who lived it.
am absolutely forbidden to “work”
Having the word “work” in quotes makes it seem like her husband and/or brother directly demanded she doesn’t get a job, which is a total restraint on her economic freedom. This concept of limiting someone’s economic freedom based on race or gender reminds me of context discussed in DuBois’ piece from our last Thursday reading.
And it is like a woman stooping down and creeping about behind that pattern. I don’t like it a bit. I wonder—I begin to think—I wish John would take me away from here!
John is always dismissing anything the narrator says as he's a man of facts and science which reminds me of Adam's realization that those of science and facts can be so narrow-minded. So it is interesting to see that the narrator wishes for John when she find herself imagining a women behind the wallpaper.
It is always the same shape, only very numerous.
The sight of this shape, that the speaker later calls a woman creeping, reminds me of the ghosts or spectres Du Bois and Adams have talked about. Unlike Du Bois, this spectre is a bit more tangible in a sense that the protagonist sees, or at least believes to see, it.
but one expects that in marriage
The tone of the text begins with the idea that marriage is a lopsided power dynamic. Men know better and women are seen as ignorant. This reminds me of Mary Astell's A Serious Proposal to the Ladies and Adams' point that education and ignorance grow alongside each other . Astell argues that men inhibit women from learning which forces women to rely on men while still asking the question 'why are women not smart?' This act of contradiction is seen in this story with John forcing the protagonist to stay in a room, which is liken to a prison, and the husband is surprised by the end of the story that his wife has gone insane.
he hates to have me write a word.
The narrator is not allowed to express herself freely. She cannot be her true self. This reminds me of Du Bois' 'Of Our Spiritual Strivings' in which he talks of double consciousness-- two identities. He also describes an invisible "veil" that separates races which could be applied here too. The narrator is trapped behind a veil, separated from the rest of society; women separated from men and considered lesser than.
Nonoverlapping Magisteria
This reminds me of the story in the big book where a robot was elected pope!!!
Tush, tush,
I have never heard such an expression before, and after looking it up and finding out it mean disapproval it reminds me of the saying pish posh which would mean some one is speaking nonsense.
It is that for an audience that runs well into the millions every week, it is blurring the line between justice and social bullying.
This reminds me of the article we read in our textbook. The Buzzfeed article about online bullying and outing people.
She might be free, but the world still doesn’t have to treat her equally
reminds me of the Hannah-Jones article
Perfectionism won’t let me pick a background color for weeks, envy will distract me with foolhardy attempts at others’ success, simple laziness will keep me in bed watching episodes of “Chopped” 15 times.

Reminds me of the "guiding ideal" from the O'Neil (2012) reading last week - "reconciling freedom and equality".
Start by considering the following questions: How do the people in my PLN add to my professional growth? How often do I engage with them? What perspectives do they offer me? My PLN? Am I missing any perspectives that might help my professional growth? In what ways do I interact with the people in my network? (e.g., am I just following others and reading social media posts or am I engaging in thoughtful conversations with my PLN?)
When it comes to who we want in our PLN, I think we take it lightly when new information comes across. These following questions are great guidelines of questioning if what we are putting out there (in the social world) enough to be reliable and effective? This just reminds me of having my old HS teachers on FB who would comment on each others post. Comments about of how great one is by taking different approaches to the curriculum. I think there should be more than just praising and actually considering taking in different approaches/perspectives seriously. A penny for your thoughts...
you can use an Internet search engine, such as Google, Yahoo!, Bing, or DuckDuckGo, to see if you can find a tool or app to meet your teaching needs.
This sentence reminds me that nowadays, when we look for apps or tools, we will download them directly from the app store or listen to the introduction of colleagues or friends. We have neglected the function that search engines can bring.
Indeed, most studies of design practice suggest the opposite-that designers must adapt to the particularities of a given project, and that models and theories may faciliate this undertaking in some ways, but have limited applicability and underspecify what is needed to produce finished design document or learning environment (Wislon, 2013; Yanchar, South, Williams, Allen, & Wilson , 2010). As some outside of e field of instructional design have argued, designing is unpredictable, designer flexibility and adaptation are crucial, and creative problem solving is required
This point reminds me of the ideas presented in the Most Likely to Succeed video - mostly that, the job market is evolving and developing rapidly, and unless a creative human being is required to get something done, that job may be obsolete soon. It is encouraging to read here that ID is one of those fields that cannot be automatized, but rather, one that requires the innovative thinking only a human can bring to the table.
lived and embodied rather than codified in a manual or textbook
This reminds me of one teacher in the video that stated we have this idea of what the learning should look like, but that is not their idea. We have to allow students creativity.
exploring ways of engaging learners, presenting subject matter
Considering the audience and how all learners learn differently is key. This reminds me of in the video when the learner was bored in a typical classroom setting.
becoming familiar with unfamiliar situations
This reminds me of when my school's technologist brings new ideas for teachers to try with our students. She presents the new app or technology to be used and gives us time to explore in on our own and ask questions, then we take it and try it with our students in the same manner.
Organizational support could also come in the form of work time allocated to some of the learning exercises I have previously mentioned, such as self-study and access to resources that enable designers to expand their horizons, including scholarly and practitioner-based design literature, professional dialogue (conferences, Webinars, etc.), and co-worker discussion time built into the work schedule.
This reminds me of how our team designates specific time for professional development. In the Learning Design and Technology department, we have dedicated groups that are centered around our continued learning. These groups are called Growth Partners. Each week, small groups explore new ID topics that interest them individually and collectively, they discuss and provide feedback on each others projects and we research solutions to departmental and organization issues from a training and development standpoint.
Theyneed to explore the various social and culturalgroups to which they belong, including thoseidentified with race, ethnicity, social class, lan-guage,andgender.Theyalsoneedtoinspectthenature and extent of their attachments to thosegroups and how membership in them hasshaped their personal and family histories.
This section reminds me of a lesson I learned in a teaching class in college. We examined our own identities through mapping and how they affect and interact with our other identities. Through this lesson, we were able to visualize how our personal beliefs and perceptions of the world were influenced by our backgrounds. I believe this could be a valuable lesson in my classroom, as an objective approach to self-reflection.

“He doesn’t speak French at all – he just learned the words,” his close friend Liz Fagerlund told the New Zealand Herald. “He won’t know what they mean, wouldn’t be able to carry out a conversation in French, I wouldn’t think.”
This quote reminds me of the potential harm in forcing kids to learn correct spelling and grammar, over focusing on understanding and context builders. Someone may have perfect form or skill, but that doesn't mean they are actually literate.
However, if we want to take video games seriously as a family of semioticdomains in which one can learn to be literate, we face an immediate problem.Many people who don’t play video games, especially older people, are sure tosay that playing video games is “a waste of time.”
The waste of time arguement reminds me a lot of people who used to say graphic novels are a waste of time or not real reading. I think this mindset negates the many benefits of different types of media, just because they don't fit perfectly into traditional views.
It might seen odd to call basketball a semiotic domain.However, in basketball, particular words, actions, objects, and images take ondistinctive meanings. In basketball, “dribble” does not mean drool; a pick
This kind of reminds me of slang. Two different people might use the same word but have a different meaning for the same word.
It can mean yet other things inother situations, and sometimes we have to come up with novel meanings forthe word; for example in a sentence like “Her coffee skin glistened in thebright sunshine,”“coffee” names a skin color.
This reminds me of people referencing the word tea, not as a drink, but as an expression used to talk about drama. I hear people say "let me give you the tea" when they are about to talk about something interesting that happened.
Because if youknow the design grammar—that is, the underlying principles and patternsthat determine what counts and what doesn’t count as a piece of modernistarchitecture—you can make judgments about buildings you have never seenbefore or even ones never actually built, but only modeled in cardboard. If allyou have is a list, you can’t make any judgments about anything that isn’t onyour list
This is probably silly, but this reminds me how I feel when trying to do simple math in my head. When I was going through grade school and learning multiplication tables, we were basically taught to memorize the table, so I am really good at multiplication within the realm of that table, but when you start asking me what 13x14 is I have to pause and really think about it. This reminds me a lot of how I feel in that situation.
If everyday design were ruled by aesthetics, Iife might be more pleasing to the eye but less comfortable; if ruled by useability, it might be more comfortable but uglier. If cost or ease of manufacture dominated, products might not be attractive, functional, or durable’. Clearly, each consideration has its place. Trouble occurs when one dominates all the others. (Norman, 1988, p.151)
This reminds me of our module 1 discussion regarding the definition of a 21st century learner.
For designers who work in organizations with a quality orientation, there is a keen awareness of the need to satisfy their clients in terms of producing products that meet and even exceed their expectations
This reminds me of the Chick fil a vs. McDonald's debate. You will be fed at both, but where are your expectations met vs exceeded? The experience adds to the quantity.
Still the memory of his performances would wither away in one hot weather
Reminds me of "gifted-kid burnout"
they’re still surviving and still thriving.
This reminds me of when I see videos, on TikTok for example, I saw a native group eating whale and people not apart of that culture were being defensive of the animal yet they know nothing about that culture. These groups survive and have survived for centuries using the same techniques yet individuals choose to be ignorant first rather than learn.
We in this class acknowledge that we have failed to live compassionately to some degree.
This section up to this point, and this sentence in particular, reminds me of something written by CS Lewis where he discussed the concept of moral law. I believe this was in his book "Mere Christianity." While I was unable to find the exact passage to share here, what he talked about (in general terms) was how interesting it that we universally hold moral ideals within us as something to strive for and simultaneously fail to meet them.
It is also necessary in both public and private life to refrain consistently and empathically from inflicting pain
I'm probably over-thinking this, as this article is overall sharing the importance of keeping compassion in mind as we move forward in this class and through reading this text together, but the language of this article is interesting, and strong. When it states that we should "refrain empathically from inflicting pain", I really considered that, because it brings up that how our words affect others, in ways we don't always consider. I hadn't thought how that could be relevant when communicating in a class, necessarily, because the main content discussed should be related to the class's subject, and not really anything else. But it reminds me that harm can be done with our words and statements, both intentional and thoughtless, and I need to consider this each time I post.
We in this class acknowledge that we have failed to live compassionately to some degree.
As previously aforementioned, the goal of compassion is to alleviate and avoid the infliction of pain upon others. As stated in the bible, he who has not sinned shall cast the first stone. Thus the pledge we are being asked to take reminds me that no one is without fault, but that we should go forward in life and in this class with an open minded attitude towards self improvement. It also makes me think of todays current social state, of the duality between political correctness and what is felt to be an oversensitivity in younger generations.
You want to make a good first impression on your friends and family, instructors, and employer.
This reminds me of how it was when you were in grade school and even high school and you would make sure to plan ahead as to what you were going to wear on the first day of school. The goal was often to make a good impression on your peers and teachers. The same principles can be applied to when you are older and entering into a more professional first day/first meeting as well!
Your job is proximity; if you are near your Designated Mate, recording his private speech, you are succeeding.
Every part of this so far seems very formulaic. There are "rules" so to speak on how to do everything, what to avoid, what to do, etc. It reminds me of a spy trying to infiltrate somewhere.
I'm ambivalent about the term queer. I think it's useful in certain ways-it has the cringe factor. it's confrontational. And there is some-thing about the experience ofbeing an outsider that's embedded in the word. When you throw it back in people's faces, it can produce a cer-tain sense of empowerment. It also has limitations. In some ways, it reminds me of the word gay. I worked really hard to get lesbian into usage, and so did a lot of people who came before me. Lumping us together [with gay men] erases the differences, the inequalities be-tween US.1
disproval of lumping of using umbrella terms for lesbian, such as gay or queer.

Some of the words used in this text reminds me of the Caribbean dialect.
We are prone to let our mental life become invaded by legions of half truths, prejudices, and propaganda.
Synthesis: Reminds me of history classes. Lots of half truths, shows America being a great country that's not perfect. But there's a lot more skeletons in the closet, so to speak.

this kind of reminds me of the John F. Kennedy Art Center in DC, which is intended to be a lively, constantly changing and growing cultural and artistic mecca rather than a static monument
a statue re-mains a piece of art until it is embedded into the social practices of society
Reminds me of what Michael Asher did with the George Washington statue, but in reverse
no space without time
this is a bit tangential but this reminds me of Proust quote where he talks about memories being outside of time and so I believe that space can exist without time in our own reconstructions of memory

reminds me of the Platonian description of how a leader can turn into a tyrant by taking on this solo voice
these are people "in the form of the city,"
This reminds me of the Michael Asher art piece where his invitation for people to just go see the George Washington piece in the mayor's office reminded the public that in fact, they can stroll in to the mayor's office because it is a public building. TLDR: often the public forgets the public space is public when there's a disconnect when we start to associate such spaces with power
public art can present itself as the voice of marginal cultures,
this is a really great point, and reminds me of a lot of the community art I see around various Minneapolis/St. Paul neighborhoods, particularly around Lake Street. There's an urgency to present marginalized voices, to make them visible - it seems that this for me is more of a function of public art than to de-design.
New York doesn't belong to us, and neither does Paris, and neither does Des Moines.
It is interesting to consider that what is often public is not necessarily owned by the public itself. While people may be able to access a certain space, they do not have a fundamental right to it. What then are the conditions of ownership if a group can convene there but do not have the inherent right to be there? This reminds me of the Occupy Wall Street protests and the tension between a space that is technically public but is not owned by the public itself.
The double-aimed struggle of the black artisan—on the one hand to escape white contempt for a nation of mere hewers of wood and drawers of water, and on the other hand to plough and nail and dig for a poverty-stricken horde
Throughout the piece DuBois continuously uses these binaries to convey the struggles that black people face. This 'double-consciousness' means there is never any security either socially or mentally. It reminds me of the dichotomy between the Dynamo and Virgin, the direct contrast between science and the arts
It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity.
It's like Du Bois is speaking of his own life in the third-person perspective to illuminate what being oppressed feels like to someone who hasn't had to suffer through it. Racist stereotypes are ingrained in everyone's subconscious from a young age, which reminds me of the comparison Adams makes between technology and faith where one is physically there and the other is composed of an embedded knowledge.
I had thereafter no desire to tear down that veil, to creep through; I held all beyond it in common contempt, and lived above it in a region of blue sky and great wandering shadows
This reminds me of the opening sentence in "The Dynamo and the Virgin," where Adams begins with"UNTIL the Great Exposition of 1900 closed its doors in November, Adams haunted it, aching to absorb knowledge, and helpless to find it," because Du Bois uses this ghostly language to describe feeling isolated from his peers throughout his childhood and how that's impacted his growth.
the contradictory advice of friends and foes
Given what I think this sentence is listing off, I wonder if the contradictory nature of this advice is coming from friends and conflicting with those of foes, or if the advice of both parties are equally as contradictory and unhelpful. If it's the latter, it would be yet another example of that sort of "half-hesitant sort of way" that even the most innocuous of non-black people of Du Bois' time would approach the topic of race to him and others ("they say, I know an excellent colored man in my town," which reminds me of that line, "By the way, I would have voted for Obama a third time if I could," from Get Out).
this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others
A strong observation of experienced racial oppression (where it is so ingrained in your everyday life that it is inseparable from your own consciousness) that, in comparing it to the text by Adams, reminds me of that author's comparison of faith with technology as it becomes his "present"—granted, of course, Du Bois's philosophy addresses a more immediate and devastating effect on the people involved
Connolly (1983) has argued, conceptions of democracy and citizenship have been and will likely always be debated – no single formulation will triumph.
This passage reminds me of the bipartisanship currently taking place in the US. I am interested to see how this article will describe the disagreements that also occur in education. -Alejandro Zamorano
white Americans evoked the imag- ined "new negro crime" of raping white women in order to legitimize violence upon African American bod- ies6; white lynch mobs called forth an image of the black male rapist in order to justify the torture and mutilation of black men.
We see this so much nowadays when innocent black men are killed and they decide to put images of them with their mug shots or write headlines that dehumanize them to try and justify why they were killed. This reminds me of a quote by Seyhan that said "Despite footage of a white police officer singling out and physically abusing black teenagers at a pool party in Texas, claims in defence of the police -such as that the teenagers had smoked weed and acted like hooligans and the local residents were in fear – surfaced on social media." it's like no matter what is done to black people, they will find a way to justify the obvious racist behavior towards them and will always paint them as dangerous and bad people.
a constant conscious reworking of the terms under which we unconsciously look at the objects that people our visual landscape
This reminds me of what was talked about in lecture about being aware that our experiences shape how we are going to consume media. What makes me curious is how to ensure that the creator is able to get their point across without it being diffused by others perceptions?
The pho- tographs begin to disrupt the authority of white observers by collapsing the distance between viewers and objects under view that is held traditionally to empower observers
This reminds me of Seyhan's text where it is mentioned that the photos are taking place in city streets not far from the ordinary life of the public
"The camera was the cen- tral instrument by which blacks could disprove representations of us created by white folks
Quote: This reminds me of Toni Morrison's idea of centrality. The centrality of the camera gives us the autonomy the documentation of a presence, identity in time.
I vowed never to talk with him about vaccines again.Then came 2020. Fear of the vaccine may be the greatest barrier to stopping Covid-19.

It respectfully resists the notion that scholarship speaks outside of time, space, and the physicality of the human body. It is actively engaged in the task of creating an audience-–even a mass audience--for humanistic learning.
This reminds me of the messiness of public/digital history taking place on social media. Earlier commentators on this thread were speaking about the possibility of a third wave of digital history, or if the stated goals of this second wave have been achieved -- I think in some ways we can see this hoped for expansiveness in the current way people use history online.
brotherhood.
This reminds me of the type of language used within Blue Lives Matter and militaristic alt-Right groups to describe their camaraderie. It serves to strengthen bonds and link them to that of a familial tie. This allows for the excusing of violence in the name of self-defense while also weakening their ties to being forces of terror.
Mexicanappearance"asameasureforidentifyingunauthorizedbordercrossers.
Phenotypically-driven violence has existed for ages and has proved time and time again that it is a violent attack on someone's right to exist in the body they were born in. This reminds me of this article published in the Public i from 2011, in which the “Secure Communities” program resulted in a mass of wrongful detentions of Latinx residents of Urbana-Champaign. A woman named Maria was wrongfully held in jail long after the 48-hour period in which ICE was supposed to pick her up. Both the sherriff and leuitenant (spelling?) in charge were extremely dismissive to her rights, aiming to keep the single mother jailed indefinitely if it weren't for the help of the local community. Disgusting.
All everything home
The idea "all everything home" reminds me of the idea of energy transfer following death. The idea is that the body contains our soul essence, when we leave this body we return to a collective consciousness it is described as feeling "like home". This would make sense as the author refers to the singularity which seems distant from human worldly suffering and closer to what we think of as "home".
Can molecules recall it?
This question/idea is really cool to think about. The idea of memory or data held or stored inside of a on living object. It reminds me of a video I watched on youtube that was talking about how scientist were able to encode 3d printing g-code into an objects chemical makeup. So they are able to take a sample of that object and analyze it to acquire the same g-code that was used to print that very object to print another replica. It's like have the instructions to make something embedded into its dna/chemical makeup. Cool stuff.

notion of reflexivity in research, a process of critical selfawareness, reflexivity and openness to challenge.
again, reminds me of the ethnographers, who understand themselves as part of the research
