once an industry is monopolized, everyone qualified to understand and regulate it probably came from one of the dominant companies.
This reminds me a bit of what happened with chemists pre-industrial revolutions when they all started coming from the upper classes and promoted corporations and toxins on the people because it was profitable to them. Closed loop profit systems at the expense of the many.
Writing as Social Practice
reminds me of Beck, communication
we are often pressed to clarify our ideas to other people in the workplace, in our personal lives, and in our social and civic relationships.
reminds me of Becks article how sharing life stories builds relationships
Americans have sought to author their lives as redemptive tales of atonement, emancipation, recovery, self-fulfillment, and upward social mobility,
reminds me of the growth mindset
telling the story of how you became who you are
reminds me of sem 100
people may repress traumatic events in a way that, while not ideal, is still “healthy enough
reminds me of a psychological concept (freud i believe) in which our brains filter out traumatic or upsetting memories and shut them out as much as possible
Can’t we just be human beings?
In fact, this question ignores both history and reality in the United States. We are not able to all be human beings, unless the society considers colored people as human beings. And this sentence reminds me of the slogan "All Lives Matter."
There’s an essay by Sherman Alexie called “Why the Best Kids Books Are Written in Blood” that reminded me of how a story can save us. There’s an essay by James Baldwin that reminds me, over and over again, of how writing is a part of the healing process. There’s an essay by Lindy West called “Hello, I am Fat” that made me feel less alone
Essays much like other forms of media can be enjoyed just the same or save someone as this refers to, it moght be a matter of finding what you like.
I do not have enough for myself,
Reminds me of the witch from Hansel and Gretel but the sister is she lying?
élites who feared the ignorance of poor immigrants tried to restrict ballots.
The elitist and racist suppression of votes has long been a part of US history. Now that more and more marginalized POC are getting educated, no longer is education enough to suppress votes but physical access to voting centers is now too. Reminds me of a certain postmaster I know..
here are a number of factors that potentially affect test administra-tion
reminds me of Arthur Winfre'ds tlak about tests moving to mobile. I wonder how this can be regulated in these cases where tests were taken at home.
Animal nervous systems are the product of hundreds of millions of years of evolution, and are extremely useful for helping animals survive and flourish in a complex and constantly changing environment
This reminds me of the intertwining of biology and natural selection with philosophical ideas and beliefs. The changing of our behaviors and habits form deeper due to our decisions and normative questions as discussed later on in this section. It just makes me think how differently biology would be perceived if we learned this side of the story in addition to the science!
Whichever angle you take, be sure to leave the strong impression that without your intervention and your important book, Africa is doomed.
They reminds me of the white savor concept. This is probably what sticks with me the most when I see white people uploading photos and videos on Instagram of Africa. I wonder if 'fully' white people realize what they're doing or are just ignorant to the concept?
Moreover, I did not see any connections be- tween my life and the lives of the characters in those novels and plays.
this reminds me of our discussion of young adult literature being unrealistic. the characters can be hard to relate to which causes readers to disengage.
Profitless usurer, why dost thou use8So great a sum of sums yet canst not live
This reminds me of the Prodigal Son parable from the Bible. (The Prodigal Son takes his share of his inheritance and squanders it all.)
'ready for school
This reminds me of the video of the journey of life from last week.... always getting "ready" for the next thing rather than enjoying life as it is.
industry,
When I think of "industry" I think of mass production of some sort. This reminds me of "Life is Not A Journey". Allan Watts explains how public schools just push children through the machine we call "education" just so they can start contributing to the society. It is really sad that we treat children as young as preschool to only think about what they should be doing or learning. Whereas education should be about what they CAN do and their experience of the journey.
placed on an assembly line
This reminds me of the video we watched about life not being a journey. The artist drew a picture of bright colorful children going into a factory labeled "school" where they came out the other end in black and white coloring with a diploma in their hands.
repeated instances of action and are reinforced by institutional power structures.
This reminds me of the need to have a signature in your email, or it will be looked at as unprofessional.
Jurassic Park meets Friday meets The Pursuit of Happyness.
Horror meets comedy and drama? Kind of reminds me of the Scary movie franchise.
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.
In this line Shakespeare uses the term "Time's scythe", and to me there are a couple interesting things about this. Firstly, a scythe is a tool often connotated with the Grimm Reaper, who is usually referenced when people die; so Shakespeare is referncing to the experience of death. Secondly, he capitalized "Time" making time personified, so to him death is a character. I wonder if he personified Time to make him seem more of a villain, a person who reminds one of mortality.
The new integrationof developmental biology with evolutionary biology is al-lowing us to understand how changes in gene expressionduring development can alter the formation of body plans.
This is a real area of interest for me. Ever since I was younger I have always been curious about how gene expression impacts the individual. This reminds me of epigenetics which was one of my favorite subjects in BioSci. It is the study of gene expression, and how a gene being active or inactive affects an individual without changing their genotype.
At this stage the labourers still form an incoherent mass scattered over the whole country, and broken up by their mutual competition.
Reminds me of the walstreet protests which were mostly peaceful sit ins.
This is 1986
This sentence is repeated several times throughout the text. This reminds readers of the time period and associates this issue with the year and shows the significance of these occurrences, given the timeframe.
non-visible
This reminds me of the concept of "nationality" by Benedict Arnold and how a nation is an ideological belief. When a group of people associate, they create the idea of a nation. A border can be man-made too, a concept, not an actual divide.
They
The rest of this paragraph reminds me of farm life. It feels very organic and in sync with natural cycles. All pieces playing a part and feeding into each other and creating something new.
For example, a citizen might make global warming a personal,lifestyle issue by choosing to buy a Prius.
This is very interesting and reminds me of individuals choosing to go vegan. Despite it only being one person out of billions, their chose is believed in their mind to affect the world as a whole. While this may be true, it takes a village to raise a child.
particularly for students with a history of exposure to trauma
This reminds me of an article I read from a while back about how students from very rural areas can have a particularly difficult time transitioning to college. Rural New England also has high rates of poverty, so I think some of our students are geographically disadvantaged (and even traumatized) in multiple ways. I know we lose a lot of these students in their first semester/year based on my experience, although I don't have the data. These students need to be seen, and not by A.I. success coach bots.
l flexibility
This part about consistency and flexibility reminds me of some of the slipper camp trainings that focused on modular training and hyflex pedagogies. On the one hand, we should offer consistency and predictability, but be flexible to learning opportunites as they emerge. This balance is challenging for me.
The controversysurrounding the VBNC concept involves whether bacterialcells can be resuscitated out of the dormant state and can startdividing in the external environment, which in the case of hu-man enteric bacteria may constitute a public health concern
Reminds me of endospore formation. wonder if this evolved in gram neg similarly to endospore formation
Petals
Pound connects the industrial and natural world by drawing a comparison between the faces of train riders to a dying/decomposing plant’s petals. I think that this comparison is meant to bring awareness to the dreariness of city life, in which people are constantly running from place-to-place in search of something. No one ever goes into a train station to relax and hangout, but rather to leave their current location in hopes of reaching another place. The ghastly tone of the poem reminds me of the nickname of cities as a “rat race,” full of people desperately searching for happiness in industrialized places wherein natural joy is hard to come by. In comparing the lost souls in the train station to wet, decomposing petals Pound is explaining that the patrons he sees around him are not full of life and energy despite being in a bustling environment.
Panero highlights a 2013 study that found reading passages of highbrow “literary” fiction — as opposed to non-fiction or popular fiction — led to improvements on tests that measured readers’ theory of mind.
Reminds me of the Mozart theory, where people who were exposed to some of Mozart's work before taking tests showed significant improvement.
like Joe did when he helped me manage H1N1 and prevent an Ebola outbreak from reaching our shores.
As the pandemic shut down America in March, President Trump tried to cast the Obama administration's handling of such outbreaks as failures. Ultimately, The Fix's JM Rieger reminds us, the Ebola outbreak resulted in 11 cases and two deaths in the U.S. Trump has since dropped this line.
We should begin our efforts toward building community by designing for the students who need that community most,
This reminds me of architectural/design social justice that believes we should act and design everything thinking that no one is able bodied.
literallygroupsofparentsbuiltthemwiththeirownhandsattheendofWorldWarII
This reminds me of the stories from "Walk Out Walk On" and how the community came together to build something beautiful which results in greater shared ownership and devotion to the project.
They have hidden his name and changed his portrait found in the Books of their prophets – peace be with them. I shall demonstrate this, disclose its secret, and withdraw the veil from it, in order that the reader may see it clearly and increase his conviction and his joy in the religion of Islam.
This reminds me of one of the biggest argument which have been made by the Muslims that Bible has been changed. according to many Islamic scholars in the original texts of Bible there is a clear coming of Muhammad mentioned but later it changed.
. ] guess there's no point in making new friends at this place
Revealing: This reminds me of my younger brother, and how he doesn't act on something if he doesn't see an inherent value in doing so. I guess the narrator didn't see value in trying to make friends at a school they are about to leave.
During a consulting project it’s natural for me to misbehave in all sorts of ingenious ways relative to the status quo - to craft alternatives to the existing structures. Normal business operations are designed to suppress spontaneity but I seek to develop it.
I love this. It reminds me of my friend who describes his work as an 'anti-facilitator'—where he views his job to incite more chaos than go with the flow. It's like Brian Eno's 'Oblique Strategy' cards for consulting ;)
exhibit of children's drawings
reminds me of the documenting aspect of 100 languages - and then sharing it with the community to elicit their interpretation
"O my children! my poor children! Listen to the words of wisdom, Listen to the words of warning, From the lips of the Great Spirit, From the Master of Life, who made you!
When I read this passage it reminds me of the modern day bible and how God sent down Jesus in the Bible and he warned his people to listen to God and that he is trying to help them. This links the religious aspect of this passage and let's modern day people like me relate to it.
Forexample, trophy hunting might reduce or eliminate alleles for largehorn size, but gene flow from areas with no hunting might quicklyrestore alleles associated with large horn size (12).
This reminds me of the rescue effect in metapopulation dynamics. However, instead of organisms within populations being rescued, genes are being returned from the population to prevent the loss of that genotype from a population.
The most quoted and probably most fundamental essay by Peter Haff about the technosphere. The argumentation is clearly opposed to an argumentation that sees technology as something controllable by humans. It's about the whole world, or sphere of artifacts, and people, in so far as they are part of that sphere. In essence, Haff argues by starting from the different layers of a system (stratum 1, 2, and 3). From a certain layer (stratum 2) the components of the lower layer (stratum 1) are inaccessible and the components of the higher layer (stratum 3) are not to be influenced. Only components on the same layer can be influenced. - The sphere belongs to the prerequisites of its parts: Without biosphere no organisms, without semi-sphere no signs, without technosphere no techniques (Haff does not speak of semi-sphere here, but see Towards a semiotics of the technosphere). The technosphere depends on energy and is threatened by entropy. It needs to recycle the waste it produces in order to maintain its functions.
After the first reading, much of this argument reminds me of conservative authors like Arnold Gehlen, Martin Heidegger (Gestell), and perhaps Ernst Jünger (who, as far as I know, has a similar understanding of the relationship of the worker to technology). I suspect that an actor-network theoretical argument would criticize the concept of closed spheres—although these spheres are not super-systems.
Der am meisten zitierte und wohl grundlegende Aufsatz von Peter Haff über die Technosphäre. Die Argumentation ist klar einer Argumentation entgegengesetzt, die Technik als etwas von Menschen Kontrollierbares ansieht. Es geht um die gesamte Welt oder Sphäre der Artefakte und die Menschen, insofern sie Teil dieser Sphäre sind. Im Kern argumentiert Haff, indem er von den verschiedenen Schichten eines Systems ausgeht (Stratum 1, 2 und 3). Von einer bestimmten Schicht aus (Stratum 2) sind die Komponenten der niedrigeren Schicht (Stratum 1) unzugänglich und die Komponenten der höheren Schicht (Stratum 3) nicht zu beeinflussen. Zu beeinflussen sind nur Komponenten auf derselben Ebene. - Die Sphäre gehört zu den Voraussetzungen ihrer Teile: Ohne Biosphäre keine Organismen, ohne Semiosphäre keine Zeichen, ohne Technosphäre keine Techniken (wobei Haff hier nicht von Semiosphäre spricht, siehe aber Towards a semiotics of the technosphere). Die Technosphäre ist auf Energie angewiesen und wird von Entropie bedroht. Sie muss den waste den sie erzeugt, selbst recyceln, um ihre Funktionen weiter aufrechterhalten zu können.
Nach der ersten Lektüre erinnert mich vieles in dieser Argumentation an konservative Autoren wie Arnold Gehlen, Martin Heidegger (Gestell) und vielleicht auch Ernst Jünger (der, so weit ich weiss, das Verhältnis des Arbeiters zur Technik ähnlich verstanden hat). Ich vermute, dass eine Actor-Network-theoretische Argumentation das Konzept der geschlossenen Sphären kritisieren würde—wobei diese Sphären aber keine Über-Systeme sind.
reveal useful information about literary trends.
This line reminds me of the BCG reading where they talk about how an integrated approach to metadata can allow businesses to understand trends to their data such as the lineage of the data.
When we were making the last arrangements on the eve we were all vaguely excited. We shook hands, laughing, and Mahony said:
This reminds me of the feeling of going on a field trip in elementary school: making plans to sit with friends on the school bus and making sure everything goes perfectly.
The space of sky above us was the colour of ever-changing violet and towards it the lamps of the street lifted their feeble lanterns.
This type of colorful sentences, albeit in a different mood and purpose, reminds me of "It may have been these constant showers of snuff which gave his ancient priestly garments their green faded look for the red handkerchief, blackened, as it always was, with the snuff-stains of a week, with which he tried to brush away the fallen grains, was quite inefficacious." The sentence structure is rather complex but the structure itself serves as an instrument for heightened imagery.
“If I go,” I said, “I will bring you something.”
This reminds me of the start of a quest or journey to bring back treasure for his love.
passive, like a helpless animal
Reminds me of the paralysis from the "The Sisters," although in my mind, Eveline's affliction isn't really the inability to act so much as it is the hyperactivity of her thought. She spends so much time waffling between chasing the future with Frank and luxuriating in a more content past with her mother and brother that when the time for action comes, she's frozen on the spot with all the possibilities. Actually reminds me a bit of Jug and Con from "Daughters of the Late Colonel," now that I think about it.
doors of escape
Glad to see that children across the world have similar pass times. Wild West stories are always great, reminds me of West-World.
“Come down, dear. Mr. Doran wants to speak to you.” Then she remembered what she had been waiting for.
This reminds me of the ends to several of the works by Mansfield, where a sentence or scene were stopped by the conclusion of the story, left incomplete as to give the reader the opportunity to interpret as they see fit.
At the more consequential end of the spectrum, we rely on social proof to inform moral choices- whether to assist an inebriated football enthusiast who falls on the sidewalk or step forward as a whistleblower.
This reminds me of the case in New York where a woman was being stabbed and about 40 people heard her cries for help but no one did anything about it. Social proof caused moral and emotional calcification (Apathy).
It was the murder of Kitty Genovese. Here's a link: Murder of Kitty Genovese
Nonrestrictive clauses, which are not essential to the meaning of the sentence, begin with which and are set off with commas.
This reminds me the first time knowing the difference between that and which. Using which if you want to add some insignificant information. Using that if the additional information is important to a word.
I don’t ever want to deny the oppression and policing of that period. Yet the privileging of desire, of behavior, reminds me of the freedom I felt from that past lover’s response.
To me, this passage deeply analyzes the events that were described before. The author's consistent narrative style allows room for the emphasis of this stance in which telling someone who to be is wrong, but validating someone can be life changing. The author makes it clear that this distinction is of much value as it is important enough to be mentioned twice.
The more of the details of our daily life we can hand over to the effortless custody of automatism, the more our higher powers of mind will be set free for their own proper work.
Reminds me of Whiteheads' quote:
"Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them."
Creativity is a remix | Kirby Ferguson
This reminds me of a very recent I had with a friend about Beyonce.
wow. this action/performance reminds me more of tracey emin's money but this is better.
Enjoying himself!
This reminds me of one of the earlier stories, where the narrator stated that Stanley was determined to make everything into a job. A common theme in most of these stories is how one must connect their working life with their home life. In a way, I feel like the moral of most of the stories is to enjoy life as we have it, and to live in the moment, so I wonder how this story will tie back into it.
tired you’re looking
Reminds me of my parents friends who refuses to retire even with a degenerative disease because he still wants to write another paper. Definitely, working for the love of what he does.
beautiful flying wheel.
Reminds me of the zoetrope, which was a sort of proto-animation device invented and popularized in the 19th century.
Helps me understand one of the recurring motifs in this short story of the ball as distortion -- the whirling of dancing, the dazzling lights, the disconcerting lurch between wishing desperately to be back home or jubilant that you are exactly where you are. I get Leila's back and forth.
my children
Interesting that Isabel refers to her guests as "my children". Reminds me of the previous annotation I made that compared Isabel to Titania, "Queen of the Fairies". That relationship seems more parasitic than mutual, at least in the eyes of William.
“How heavenly; how simply heavenly!”
This reminds me of what this text would look like with a POS tag on it. There are so many adjectives that reapeat themselves. This one is funny becuase it is a repition of words to describe something else.
blue, blue
Immediately, reminds me of the usage of color in the The Garden Party. Interesting to see what is the most popular color in The Young Girl.
melon William had a horrible vision of one of Isabel’s young poets lapping up a slice, for some reason, behind the nursery door.
I looked up the symbolism for a melon, and one of them says that melons are a symbol of family unity. William buys this melon as an offering to his family and his children, but Isabel's friends steal and destroy this melon and their family unity.
Isabel's poet friend also reminds me of a small rodent or animal that will scurry and steal food and hide in a corner and devour the food.
“that they should like the right things from the very beginning. It saves so much time later on.
This reminds me of parenting books that teach you how to take care of your kid. Providing the "right" toys from a young age is good a good thing, but being so stressed about finding the perfect toy so that their children do not become "hooligans" is not a good thing either.
without asking his permission. What would father say when he found out? For he was bound to find out sooner or later
This sounds like a strict parent. This reminds me of children that do something secretly and are afraid to get yelled at by their parents.
What did garden-parties and baskets and lace frocks matter to him?
It's interesting to see Laura come to the realization that these lavish garden parties and materialistic things really don't matter at the end of the day. He lived a simple lifestyle and now has escaped to a blissful rest. It reminds me of the quote from Harry Potter: "Don't pity the dead. Pity the living."
what do I care, in or out of Parliament, whether you are a Dustman or a Duke
This reminds me of Betteredge saying "I'm the last person to judge someone if they have a darker skin color" in one of the earlier chapters, because this is said but then some of his opinions on people don't really align with it (ie. being suspicious of the three Indian men and calling them heathens).
He has only one business now, sir,” she said; “and that’s roses.
Reminds me of when Hercule Poirot retired from detective work to grow marrows, before he was pulled back into it by the murder of Roger Ackroyd :)
connexion
This reminds me how language has changed not only over time but depending on location. This could be be something to take note of for the final project.
. Let me only say, that I tried to close my eyes before it happened, and that I was just one moment too late.
I find these bits a real comedy - she tries not to look, but she does, she tries not to hear, but she does. It reminds me of Christians who claim not to gossip, but will tell you something like this so you can 'pray for the situation!'
He woke, instantly and quietly, like a dog
Sergeant Cuff's character reminds me of a blood hound sniffing out the clues.
“I don’t want to hold hands with him,”June Star said. “He reminds me of a pig.”
This girl is comedy. Yet, it is realistic because children don't really have a filter and will say whatever is on their mind.
here is my staff, if you will
He seems eager to lend his staff to others, and when we take into consideration the snake-like attributes it reminds me of the Devil dealing out sins and attempting to temp people.
Norms
Yes, this reminds me of creating community values. In other words, why are these norms? There needs to be a bigger WHY
he symbols and associated hand motions reinforce each skill for all learners, especially those who like to make visual and kinesthetic connections.
I really like the use of hand signals. It reminds me of whole brain teaching and will be helpful for maintaining student engagement.
Permit me, with the greatest deference and respect, to lay at your feet the following genuine Narrative; the chief design of which is to excite in your august assemblies a sense of compassion for the miseries which the Slave-Trade has entailed on my unfortunate countrymen.
How this starts reminds me of the reading named Oroonoko which was written by Aphra Behn. They both are talking to the reader in the beginning of the reading. They both also mention how the topics that they are going to talk about is going to make people uncomfortable.
By 'critical',
This bit distinctly reminds me of Jesse's article where defines Critical Digital Pedagogy and he precisely means by the word critical...
It is easy to be impatient with learners who have not yet instilled successful learning habits, such as listening attentively, creating outlines before writing, or periodically summarizing material that is read, and jump to the conclusion that they are not trying hard to learn. But these habits of learning take effort initially and only gain momentum over time. Once acquired, they can become second nature to the learner, freeing up attentional resources for other, more cognitively demanding aspects of a task.
This is key for thinking about coaching learning. It reminds me of Dan and Chip Heath's "The Curse of Knowledge" where it is all too easy for a teacher to forget what it feels like not to know something. (From Made to Stick)
More recent work has explored how ideas of what is desirable to learn may vary across cultures. For example, a study that compared parental expectations in the United States and Vanuatu suggested that whereas U.S. parents tend to consider deviation from a model as showing creativity, parents in Vanuatu tend to equate precise imitation with intelligence (Clegg et al., 2017).
This is fascinating and hugely important. It reminds me of a related book called Clash! : 8 Cultural Conflicts That Make Us Who We Are.
Experts differ from novices in more than just their general abilities (i.e., memory or intelligence) and the use of general strategies. Experts have acquired extensive knowledge that affects what they notice and how they organize, represent, and interpret information in their environments, which in turn affects their abilities to remember, reason, and solve problems.
This reminds me of Malcolm Gladwell's book Blink and Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow. Both argue that experts gain a meta-cognition that goes deeper than the intellect--because of their years of experience, expertise becomes like intuition that doesn't have to be consciously processed to make judgements.
6.
This reminds me of the recent example of the CEO of Proctorio (a remote test proctoring software) who posted a student's chat log with Proctorio customer service to a Reddit thread -- the CEO had to later apologize -- more info in this Guardian article
Students collaboratively (with the instructor) identify an area of interest and co-construct a driving question to guide inquiry. Students engage in online collaborative inquiry as they search and sift through online texts using digital tools to address their focus of inquiry. Students critically evaluate online information by considering the credibility (truthfulness) and validity (usefulness) of the information obtained. Students synthesize what they have learned during their online inquiry by actively curating and synthesizing information across multiple, multimodal sources. Student engage in online content construction by synthesizing what they have learned and selecting the best digital text or tool before sharing this answer.
This reminds me of Hyperdocs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18kCpbY5BriJyzzSDH1U2sGIpdwGBSfeBpUCatrq4EbI/edit
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oCi_v8wtt_5MHBoWz6ejGZKRpc9kUE69q5ju-XPANek/edit
learning how to learn
"Learning how to learn" reminds me of metacognition "thinking about thinking"
Proficiency in these continuously new, online literacies will define our students’ success in both school and life.
This reminds me of the video from Module 2 stating how we have to instill a mindset of change and growth into students. Just like they will change their work in order to make it the best it can be, so too can our technologies and digital media change
I was myself an eye-witness to a great part of what you will find here set down; and what I could not be witness of, I received from the mouth of the chief actor in this history, the hero himself, who gave us the whole transactions of his youth: and though I shall omit, for brevity’s sake, a thousand little accidents of his life, which, however pleasant to us, where history was scarce and adventures very rare, yet might prove tedious and heavy to my reader, in a world where he finds diversions for every minute, new and strange. But we who were perfectly charmed with the character of this great man were curious to gather every circumstance of his life.
The beginning of this reminds me about a book called Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. The book is about different perspectives from people during the Slave Trade. It includes slaves, chiefs of towns in Africa, and people who bought slaves. The book mostly focuses on one family through generations. The book started in Africa and through generations it ended in Alabama.
first cut off his members, and threw them into the fire; after that, with an ill-favored knife, they cut off his ears and his nose and burned them; he still smoked on, as if nothing had touched him; then they hacked off one of his arms, and still he bore up, and held his pipe; but at the cutting off the other arm, his head sunk, and his pipe dropped, and he gave up the ghost,
This graphic description reminds me of another story about a slave in Tarantino's Django: Unchained. Jamie Foxx's character, Django, almost meets a similar fate. They state in the movie that cutting off his member would lead to bleeding out and death in less than ten minutes. Only the most disrespectful torture was used for these enslaved men, makes you wonder where this sick hatred could come from. The blood loss from losing his arm must've been the final blow. Gruesome how fast this torture must have went. Unbelievable.
Then for little paraketoes, great parrots, mackaws, and a thousand other birds and beasts of wonderful and surprising forms, shapes, and colors. For skins of prodigious snakes, of which there are some threescore yards in length; as is the skin of one that may be seen at his Majesty’s Antiquary’s; where are also some rare flies, of amazing forms and colors, presented to ’em by myself; some as big as my fist, some less; and all of various excellencies, such as art cannot imitate. Then we trade for feathers, which they order into all shapes, make themselves little short habits of ’em and glorious wreaths for their heads, necks, arms, and legs, whose tinctures are unconceivable.
This reminds me of the colorful little markets where people would sell exotic animals and crafts and where crime was rampant. The artistry and culture of merchants was quite shady at most but was utilized as one of the greatest communication and bartering systems of its time. Often times merchants knew more about society than most as they travel and network with each other and with other civilians.
Every dialect is a way of thinking
Once again, it reminds me of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis in that a dialect is probably a unit of language that is built up from a particular way of thinking (that is most likely culturally influenced). I think this is a very powerful statement.
as soon as they enter’d the City, both Males and Females, young and old, flockt together to see this Lady, holding up their Paws in admiration;
This is also what happens when you start up a new Animal Crossing game. In a way. Maybe I like this because it reminds me of Animal Crossing... a very messed up and dark Animal Crossing that involves kidnapping...
internal listening,
i like this idea and reminds me to be intentional with what i am saying
STEREOGUM: When you’re programming drums for a rap record, do you approach it differently than if you’re working on a Tame Impala record? Does it just differ from song to song? What’s the determining factor on how you approach it? PARKER: At the end of the day, it’s the same. It’s this dance between making a rhythm — it’s hard to explain. It’s about making the choice of where to put a beat. It’s just choosing where to put beats and where not to put them. Not like a beat like a rhythm, but like where to hit and where not to hit. Which at the end of the day is the same whether you’re playing drums or programming them. That’s the difference it comes down to. The Tame Impala stuff I’m playing the drums, and with hip-hop I’m programming them. Which is different in how you go about it, but mentally it’s exactly the same. Choosing what rhythms to play. For me it’s everything in a song. It’s everything. I spend by far the most amount of time on drums and rhythms of my songs than any other part.
This reminds me of something Chilly Gonzales said in an interview with Red Bull Music Academy:
My friend Mocky always talks about drumming. He says, “Drumming is easy. It’s actually quite simple. You just have to know what to hit and how hard.” In a way that means that with one single note, or a single chord, you can really give off a lot of attitude. [plays piano] Same chord. Those are two very different emotions. What you put into it, I’m pretty sure if you do it right, the audience will know what that is. Even if they can’t put the name on it, they know that one was like gangsta and the other one was kind of like sad sad.
"If eternal return is the heaviest of burdens, then our lives can stand out against it in all their splendid lightness. But is heaviness truly deplorable and lightness splendid?"
This sentence reminds me of that in the movie, and only Tereza seems to think that love is heavy in the film. Tomas, Sabina, the professor, and the engineer...they can separate sex and love. I know that I cannot judge whether these two attitudes towards love are wrong or correct. However, I think it is unfair to Tereza in the movie, which makes Tereza looks like a weird person. I first think this a portrayal technique that shows how precious Tereza's love is. The director maybe wants to explain heavy is precious. In the end, Tomas and Tereza died in heavy love. Thomas chose to accept the "heavy" in life for Teresa, thus accepting fate's arrangement and letting them drift away until death.
Now the online hunt to reveal extremists has raised concerns about unintended consequences, or even collateral damage. A few individuals have been misidentified in recent weeks, including a professor from Arkansas who was wrongly accused of participating in the neo-Nazi march.
This in particular reminds me of the Boston Bombing, and how reddit users took it among themselves to find out who did it and instead doxxed the wrong person, who eventually ended up killing himself I believe since the false accusation. Everyone think in these scenarios they're doing it for the cause, and that they're in the right, until someone uninvolved gets accused and ruins their lives. I do think it's tricky though because I do think for like, the people going to Nazi rallies and promoting hateful and toxic content need to recognize there are probably consequences for creating hostility, but where is that line drawn?
In short, once someone is labeled a Nazi on the internet, that person stays a Nazi on the internet.
This reminds me of the power of social media. It's like once you got tagged or defined into a group, it's close to the point where you can never go back. E.g. Once you are labeled as Nazi, you are Nazi for the rest of your life.
he problem, of course, was that she was telling a story about two people who had no idea they’d been cast as leads in a riveting story for thousands of strangers.
This kind of reminds me about the movie Jim Carey did called "The Truman Show" and it's disturbing to know that it's still happening, years later, as if we didn't learn anything from it
There’s another unfortunate dimension to this whole saga that mimics the coercive effect of public marriage proposals: everyone innocently cheers on the romance because it tells a good story, but it places the woman in the invidious position of being the “bad guy” if she says no.
It reminds me of watching a video of public marriage proposal on Facebook. Most comments I noticed was talking bad about the lady because she said no to the guy. But first, I wonder why do these strangers think they can make a decision for this lady or anyone they don't even know already?
And now ordinary people are, too; social movements have helped spread these demands to a public mobilized by the pandemic and the protests.
This reminds me of the French Revolution. There was significant repression of the lower classes to cause dissent, but it was not until the middle class became motivated that change came about.
Effective curriculum is planned backward from long-term, desired results through a three-stage design process (Desired Results, Evidence, and Learning Plan). This process helps avoid the common problems of treating the textbook as the curriculum rather than a resource, and activity-oriented teaching in which no clear priorities and purposes are apparent.
This reminds me of Steven Covey's 7 Habits. One of the habits is to begin with the end in mind.
While I do not disagree with the premises proffered here in the broad context what I found interesting is that the TED Talk was a critique of being formulaic, not an issued approval. Basic human capacities for information gathering and then processing from the phenomenological sense could be narrated descriptively to be very similar or dissimilar. In the hands of a skilled narrative creator the affective aspect allows the medium including text rhythm, data inclusion or exclusion, and performance skills to all massage through the medium of delivery. I am borrowing from McLuhan but what is important here is to understand the cognitive process not as one to be manipulated through narrative archetype but its commonality to our humanity. Aristotle in the Politic describes human kinds nature as being innately political, community oriented. Hannah Arendt discusses quite heavily the transient nature of truths from the vantage point of the body politic. Bakhtin discusses the concept of the novelist, epic poetic creator, or story teller reflecting the many voices swirling around them as they start to create. What is important for me is that these are common items that transcend technologies for dissemination. Are we more concerned with the latest items and tying into our past or understanding that it is the interplay between formula and fresh creativity that propels human kind into broader awareness of themselves. First American Nations have vastly different narrative pacing and thematic materials from their Afro-Eurasian counterparts. The narrative of Sky Woman might be the same or it can be viewed as dissimilar. From my vantage point this all depends as to who the analyst might be and what time period they live in. Are we not reflections of the time we walk under the sky.
As a post script to the longer part above, Vonnegut reminds one that creative output is a dance between formulaic and new pathways for expression. Regardless as to Vonnegut's propensity for tongue-in-check absurdity, his satirical approach issues a challenge to being overly formulaic.

Interesting projects to be sure and reminds me of the changes that occurred during the 1950s, 60s, and early 70s. Are these adult lead games or is this actual child centered play that is inspired by the classroom experience.

This is such a simplified version of this concept. And in two minutes and thirty seconds, this is an incredible, short, and sweet version of the theory that some teachers have yet to see. This video reminds me exactly of why we have standards- not to make our lives difficult, but how we should be guiding our teaching and learning expectations.
This may be true
This article stretches the concept of a fact check as I know it. I would expect a fact checker to be interested whether the claim is true and consult relevant experts on the matter.
This may be a nice blog post, I am not an expert, but for me this is not a fact check and it almost reminds one of the Monty Python sketch were someone is looking for an argument. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohDB5gbtaEQ

Extremely interesting story. I'm pleased to see it have a happy ending considering this was Shakespeare's final play. The story surely reminds me of the romantic comedy films seen from the last couple decades, as well as fantastical Disney storytelling. The directions and dialogue were mush easier to understand in this play and lines flowed naturally.
Gram Sullivan was the only nonwhite wife in that society. She didn’t participate in any of it, Mom said. She had no friends. When her husband and children went to the wakes and parties and dances and feasts. Gram stayed home alone.
Reminds me of my dad.
I have received numerous texts and emails from white friends recently — checking in, asking whether I’m okay. I appreciate the concern, and I want everyone to know I’m fine. Well, I’m as fine as I’ve been since 1982. That’s when, after my family moved to a new neighborhood in Chicago, a group of white kids tried to blow up our car by sticking a rag in the gas tank and lighting it on fire.
This reminds me of the ending of Invisible Man and I Am Not Your Negro.
wet nurses;
The place of the wet nurse, and the further banning of the role in Prussian law of 1794 reminds me of a cyborgian external feature. When thinking about the ideas of "goddess" vs "cyborg" as discussed by Haraway, this law is an enforcement of an idea of "natural womenhood," where the breast plays the role of the goddess, and the wet nurse acts as a technological advancement, making the woman a cyborg. This goes against the "natural order" that keeps women in a subsidiary place in society. This also makes me consider the question, are humans machines? and what makes a human, human, and a machine, a machine? When considering the fact that externalizing human processes to other humans sometimes allows for the solving of a problem, or the expediting of a process, then there seems to be a robotic element within two human components.
a binary opposition between blackness and whiteness was well estab-lished in which blackness was identified with baseness, sin, the devil, and ugliness,and whiteness with virtue, purity, holiness, and beauty.17Over time, black peoplethemselves were compared to apes, and their childishness, savageness, bestiality,sexuality, and lack of intellectual capacity stressed. T
Haha！Spliting perception appears right here. I think this is a pre-modern consideration and it resembles to simple programmed binary calculated robots that can only operate orders and hard to possess their own ideas. But in the future as humans proceed into post-modernism thinking, they don't consider extreme ideas of matter. Instead, they conceive matters as nihilistic objects and expand on them with infinite imaginations and reasoning. This is how colleges prompt to cultivate us. If robots transform into post-modernists, it will really cool for them, but hard for them to accept since they are born with missions and do righteous targets. This reminds me of Mr. Meeseeks in Rick and Morty. If they accomplish they goal, they will end themselves, but to achieve that they can be unscrupulous and cause riots in order to accomplish their missions. Kind of like "Ultron" in Avengers 2, and their intentions might completely digress from what their inventors intend to operate.
Perhaps having self-concepts and measurements will unleash their inhibited independent thinking and induce rebellions:)
RALPH. Why, Robin, what book is that? ROBIN. What book! why, the most intolerable book for conjuring that e’er was invented by any brimstone devil.
Again, I love the dialogue in this story. It reminds me of Monty Python.
waxen wings
this alliteration creates a flow that feeds into itself further creating imagery that further depicts images of angels. The Waxen wings create a false sense of reality and reminds me of the wax figures that imitate real life in a way to impress others. With the wax sheen creating a false sense of shiny realness that others can perceive as real, it masquerades the false sense of security that often others see as reality only because they want to see it as so.
And necromantic books are heavenly;
Faustus reminds me a bit of Dr. Frankenstein. Although Mary Shelly wrote it in 1818, necromancy was seen as playing with the unnatural side of life and flying too close to the sun as well.
Come, I think hell’s a fable.
Reminds me of the hubris main characters often have in older famous texts. He is mocking the existence of hell, as he promises his soul to the devil. He thinks himself above it in a way?
that the word was a poetic coinage; i.e., a word that was intelligible, but not in common usage
this reminds me of the way Shakespeare used words that were not of popular usage back that but became words because of his poetic coinage.
The similarity to what we found in the will of Theophrastus is noticeable. There is prominent mention of a Museum and a peripatos. The large hall for dining (τὸ συσσίτιον) also had a counterpart in a building mentioned in the will of one of the later Peripatetic scholarchs, Strato, who also wrote of a dining hall (τὸ συσσίτιον, Diog. Laert. 5.62).
Reminds me of the point of comparison prompt we get in our discussion boards. The point of comparison was showing that the building that was created was similar to the building in the will. Which shows a connection to Aristotle.

This reminds me of Snow Crash. In that story, people's all sorts of private information, including face print and foot print, are collected by the government and corporations. In the case of Japanese sex industry, the situation is even worse, since the website even demonstrates the current state of its employees' genitalia. I think this shows that Japanese industry doesn't respect its employees' privacy much.
How that all creatures be to me unkind, Living without dread in worldly prosperity: Of ghostly sight the people be so blind, Drowned in sin, they know me not for their God; In worldly riches is all their mind,
God saying this reminds me of the story of Noah that is in the Bible. God decided to end humankind by sending a lot of water that caused people to drown to death. God wanted to end humankind because he thought there was a lot of sin in the world.
Ye think sin in the beginning full sweet, Which in the end causeth thy soul to weep,
What I understand from these two lines is when you first start doing something bad you find it enjoyable and like what you are doing, but in the end it just causes you a lot of problems. This also reminds me of lying. Saying a little lie will keep growing to be a big lie, which is going to cost more pain in the end when people find out about the lies that you have said.
Everyman living without fear.
I am not sure if this line is metaphoric or has a direct meaning. If this has a direct meaning, then this reminds me of American philosophy, like land of the free. I am also not sure who "everyman" is referred to as throughout this story.
Both Strength, Pleasure, and Beauty, Will fade from thee as flower in May.
Interesting quote and additionally a simile. These three earthly indulgences are still extremely relevant and reminds me of the addictions/hobbies my peers fall into. Scrolling through Instagram recommended I consistently see workout videos, makeup tutorials, and of over sexualized music videos (strength, beauty, and pleasure). I guess not much has changed.
the nature of Judaeo-Christian experience that we have had great diffi- culty recognizing as at all religious any belief or practice that departs very far from our Judaeo-Christian norm. Defining a religion in terms of personal belief is an idea that we have imposed on a culture to which it is alien
I like this passage cause it reminds me that I am viewing the cult culture through my Catholic goggles for lack of a better terminology. To try to make sense of or relate to ruler/dynastic cults with my own religious baggage will only confuse or stunt my understanding of what it actually was and what it meant
At night, when I cried, Mama came to me and weighed me down with her torso until calmness filled me. “Come back to me, my mouse,” she’d say.
I relate to this because it reminds me of when I was a little boy. Whenever I had bad nightmares or if I had a bad cramp in the middle of the night my mom would come to me and make sure I was okay.
this reminds me of Jane Bennett's Vibrant Matter.
The more difficult question concerns whether scoring systems’ source code, algorithmic predictions, and modeling should be transparent to affected individuals and ultimately the public at large. Neil Richards and Jonathan King astutely explain that “there are legitimate arguments for some level of big data secrecy,” including concerns “connected to highly sensitive intellectual property and national security assets.”146 But these concerns are more than outweighed by the threats to human dignity posed by pervasive, secret, and automated scoring systems
while this article treats credit scores predicted by algorithms, the effect of the secret scoring systems on jobs, housing, and opportunities are widespread and often unable to be challenged...reminds me of what happens with too much faith in ai surveillance without due process for those affected

Predynastic Period (4000-3100), the Nile River played a central role in Egyptian funerary customs, as it was the conduit for the journey undertaken by the deceased in the afterlife. The river, which separated the country into two, marked the metaphorical boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead. The funeral procession involved a journey over the Nile or one of its branches and this journey was often represented through offerings and im
a procession for the dead, reminds me of todays customs for funerals.

One need arose quite commonly as trains of thought would develop on a growing series of note cards. There was no convenient way to link these cards together so that the train of thought could later be recalled by extracting the ordered series of notecards. An associative-trail scheme similar to that out lined by Bush for his Memex could conceivably be implemented with these cards to meet this need and add a valuable new symbol-structuring process to the system.
This reminds me of of how the Roam Research app has implemented bidirectional links and block references.
The Devil found him in such wicked state,
This reminds me of the story of Adam and Eve. The serpent which was symbolizing the devil pressured Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. The forbidden fruit in this story is poisoning the other two men so he could get the treasure to himself.
and eventually waste away and die never having taken either path.
Reminds me of Burdian's Ass. As explained at Wikipedia:
"Buridan's ass is an illustration of a paradox in philosophy in the conception of free will. It refers to a hypothetical situation wherein a donkey that is equally hungry and thirsty is placed precisely midway between a stack of hay and a pail of water. Since the paradox assumes the ass will always go to whichever is closer, it dies of both hunger and thirst since it cannot make any rational decision between the hay and water. A common variant of the paradox substitutes two identical piles of hay for the hay and water; the ass, unable to choose between the two, dies of hunger."
The exchange usually verges on the opponents’ shortcomings in central spheres of human experience such as sexuality, kinship and martial qualities.
The "senna/ur" may be timeless. It reminds me of the similar contemporary practice called "dirty dozen" that appears in the good-spirited but sometimes downright mean oneupsmanship usually found in African-American male bonding. A classic example of an exchange is, "Your lady is so ugly she has to sneak up on a glass of water to get a drink!" followed by the other party saying, "You're so ugly your daddy must have beat you with an ugly stick!", etc., found, among other places, in Bo Diddley's "Say, Man!" album from 1959.

This reminds me of what we're calling cluster pedagogy at PSU. It also reminds me of what Paul Hanstedt refers to as encouraging student "authority" in Creating Wicked Students.
great gaunt gut
You just gotta love "great gaunt gut." That alliterative chugging reminds me of the sound trains make when they hit the track. It also feels unabashedly-poem-y. As if McKay is saying, 'this is going to be over-the-top, and you are going to like it.'
Carry her this, my golden ring. Tell her, on my part, that so she pleases she shall come to me, or, if it be her better pleasure, I will go to her.”
This reminds me of the story in the Bible where Abraham sends a servant to find a wife for his son. Abraham sends a lot of gifts for the person who agrees to marry his son including a gold ring.
which of them was his friend.
Their use of friend reminds me of the German Language, where the word for girlfriend/boyfriend is the same word used for a friend. It depends on what context you are using this word to determine wether your relationship to this person is platonic or romantic. They knights know Launfal is in love and I wonder if this is how they are using this term, "friend," in Old english.
Strategies being deployed by the research community to combat COVID-19 give us a proof of concept for what is possible.
These strategies will also open up the possibility of other situations because no one expected us to go into a few month long pandemic that is still going on. Having strategies to combat pandemics but even war which is something the US dipped their feet into are possible situations that the government and the people need to be prepared for. One situation that is a little bit over the top but reminds me of these strategies are the nuclear bomb drills that students in the US conducted in the wake of a bombing on US soil during the Cold War. Hiding under desks will not help fight the pandemic but it is the idea of being prepared.
For instance, the convergence of media through technology has facilitated this haze through the development of concepts such as “docudramas,” “edutainment,” and “infotainment,” which have gained popularity over the years (Thussu 2008). Mohammed (2012) proposed that with the extensive diffusion of information facilitated by advances in communication technologies, people often struggle to tell the difference between facts and opinion, entertainment, and outright disinformation. As a result, online stories can be perceived as either fictional or factual; with the consequence that fictional content may be processed and
I think this is getting harder for even adults. In an earlier annotation I said it was easier for adults than kids, but I have recently connected with adults who get lost in the "haze" that this article describes. Reminds me why I go to certain media outlets for different needs. If one has proved dishonest when the information was to be factual, I don't go back to that outlet. I guess my point is to stay informed (constant questioning) and know why you're going to a certain outlet. I can't imagine how hard it is for kids today if I know so many adults who struggle...
"The powerful attraction of social media in classrooms can help students connect who they are in and out of school among peers and with their teachers."
This reminds me of Stephen Krashen's idea that anxiety is the student's arch enemy and how we need to create an environment where students feel comfortable and relaxed. Students are very comfortable with social media and constantly posting on it. This will create a space where they are less anxious about writing and expressing themselves.
Students don't fit into boxes, but it's the nature of our system to try and fit them into certain definitions or boxes.
This is very true and something that should be brought up more often. It reminds me of the cartoon in which an elephant, penguin, seal, monkey, dog, bird and goldfish are lined up in front of a tree and the caption reads, “For a fair selection everybody has to take the same exam: please climb that tree.” The monkey smiles. The rest look concerned. Sir Ken Robinson gave a great Ted talk "Changing Education Paradigms" (11 min) where he discusses how the education system, in general, tries to fit kids into boxes they don't fit into and it often kills creativity and stunts growth. It's an important conversation.
Many environmental challenges are exacerbated within the urban landscape, such as stormwater runoff and flood risk, chemical and particulate pollution of urban air, soil and water, the urban heat island, and summer heat waves.

Always, my mother’s two wishes were: (1), to never marry a farmer, and (2), to move to the city suburbs, both of which she accomplished.
This resonates with me, reminds me of my mom's comments to my sister and I.
health literacy can becategorized into different levels that progressively reflectgreater autonomy and personal empowerment in decision-making
a thought not necessarily related to this passage - asset model is treating people's (a community's, perhaps) existing literacy as a tool to further increase literacy. it reminds me of naturopathic medicine, which leverages the body's pre-existing ability to heal itself, as opposed to an over-reliance on pharmaceuticals which mostly mitigate symptoms
It was a very interesting TED. Like he said, he didn't actually give us any data, but the way he set it up told the whole story. It is a formula for presenting a story, it reminds me of how I teach my middle schooler how to draft her paper for school. First you have the intro, tell them what you're going to tell them. Next is the body, you tell them. Then the closing, tell them what you told them. A basic formula to keep your ideas organized and the proper flow.
the language acquisition itself is not their objective. Rather, it is a by-product of the achievement of some other purpose,
This part reminds me of some of our discussions regarding intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. I think language acquisition is probably most successful if students see a larger purpose to what they are doing and are motivated to engage in the learning as a result. For example, they need the language in the near future to enroll in college or succeed in a career. Or, on a more immediate level, they need to know how to order something at a restaurant or how to ask where the bathroom is. In communities where you can get by with your native language and never learn English to go about your daily life, people may not speak English well because they don't have to. When you are immersed in a community where you must communicate in the target language to get what you want, acquisition is probably more likely.
While a train makes it easier for me to quickly go from one place to another, it makes it more difficult for me to stop along the way and chat with the people I pass.
This statement reminds me of when my husband and I went to Seattle. We conscientiously decided not to use any public transportation (besides to/from the airport). We stayed in a beautiful neighborhood just north of the city, filled with winding sidewalks and old staircases. We walked by hidden coffee shops and weathered pubs! So many of our stops were ones we happened upon by walking! The people we met in those places, we would have never connected with had we been going to the spots with the best Yelp reviews!
We cannot model perfection or show only one side of our professional selves and expect students to be comfortable being themselves with us.
This reminds me of how I had small-group conversations with students that I would never have had otherwise, and we got to talking about what worked and what didn't and I explained the reasoning behind class design more than I would have otherwise. I think we were a little more relaxed and open than we would have been if we were meeting in person. Many students said that they tuned out teachers talking to a class via zoom--they were not real and present enough, so with that in mind, I think it's interesting that we achieved an intimacy we wouldn't have in person, when we all interacted in a small group (3-4 of us). So this is a kind of literacy: reading when/how we connect at varying levels of relaxation and intimacy and when/how they enhance learning/communication and when they don't.
Openness
So much of the ethos of this article reminds me of Parker Palmer's 1983 text "To Know as We are Known" particularly his notion of the three essential components of a learning space- openness, boundaries, and an air of hospitality.
In the field of economics., too, Bactria has been singled out as a vest case for the entire HeUenistic Age.
I recall in Adams' reading that Bactria was a small-scale model for the great Hellenistic monarchies.. this reminds me of that. Informative.
Firstly, it is (perhaps wilfully) ignorant of the long history
This willful ignorance, to resist knowing or caring about the historical context, reminds me of the importance placed on listening in Kenneth Burkes's "Unending Conversation" parlor metaphor: " You listen for a while, until you decide that you have caught the tenor of the argument; then you put in your oar."

It will be well for him who seeks the favor, the comfort from our father in heaven, where a fortress stands for us all.
This reminds me of the chapter Middle Ages. Christianity was adopted in the Roman Empire and many of the works referenced looking to God in times of chaos. This poem is no exception, but instead of shaming the English people into praying, God is shown as a form of comfort.
the Measurer’s
This is capitalized in a way that reminds me of people capitalizing God, so I'm pretty sure this is a name for God. I've never heard "the Measurer" before. What is God measuring? Where did this title come from?
Anyway! Your only responsibility is to do stuff that’s actually in Japanese; the remainder of the responsibility rests entirely with the Japanese stuff — media — itself. The media has a responsibility to entertain you. You don’t have to find the value in it; it has to demonstrate its value to you by being so much fun that you don’t notice time going by — by sucking you in. It has to make you wish that eating and sleep and bodily hygiene could take care of themselves because they cut into your media time. And if it doesn’t do that or it stops doing that, then you “fire” it by changing to something else. You are the boss and there are no labor laws. Fire the mother. You do the work of setting up and showing up to the environment, but after that the environment must work for you.
This strategy reminds me of Niklas Luhmann who allegedly said that he never did anything that he didn't feel like doing.
This is like following your curiosity 100% and it goes against a lot of the other advice out there e.g. like sitting down every day and writing.
This also reminds me of this idea of starting as many books as possible. Drop them when they're no longer interesting to you.
DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT turn Japanese into work. Don’t turn it into “study”; don’t turn it into 勉強 (a word that refers to scholastic study in Japanese, but actually carries the rather negative meaning of “coercion” in Chinese). Just play at it. PLAY. That’s why I keep telling people: don’t make all these rules about what is and is not OK for you to do in Japanese, or how Gokusen is over-coloured by the argot of juvenile delinquents or watching Love Hina will make you talk like a girl — it doesn’t matter, you need to learn all that vocabulary in order to truly be proficient in Japanese anyway, so whatever you watch is fine — as long as you’re enjoying it right now. Write this on your liver: just because anything is OK to watch in Japanese, that doesn’t mean that everything is worth watching…to you that is. One person’s Star Trek is another person’s…well, I can’t imagine how any human being could fail to love Star Trek, but you get the idea.
If you want to learn something, make sure that you keep it in the realm of play. If you make it work, you will kill it.
This reminds me of Mark Sisson talking about incorporating play.
This also reminds me of the concept of Flow.

This shows Ramona grasping the power of words. It reminds me of the book The Boy Who Loves Words
For the first time in her life, Ramona learns a lesson that her family has not succeeded in communicating: Her own very personal desires cannot be expressed freely or with impunity
This reminds me of the saying sometimes you have to hear it from someone that you don't know to understand its meaning.
Ramona adapts to the social norms of the educational community, she must internalize the external restrictions on her behavior or suffer the consequences of remaining at odds with the system.
This is very true every person must learn to adapt to the social norms and it reminds me of John Locke's theory of Rational moral
Most people think you build the product then you market it. Thinking in loops means you build the marketing into the product. The product doesn't precede the marketing. The product is the marketing.
By thinking in loops Harry Dry refers to a way of thinking about your acquisition strategy as being part of your product.
This reminds me of Brian Balfour's idea of product-channel fit and how stresses that the product gets shaped by its acquisition channel.
Shitty liberal culture tells us to be blind to differences amongst people
Reminds me of "I don't see color", which is just as problematic as being blatantly racist.
For me two words are "success" and "competence" It reminds me of the productive struggle slides from earlier in the week, whereby the brain needs to be in that state of relaxed alertness to be open to learning a new skill. But mastery and competence are born from the struggle. As a teacher of younger children where virtually everyone is learning to read, I cannot imagine the stress an upper grade teacher feels when kids come in already been depleted of their sense of competence, belonging and success.
She brings theseexperiences, feelings, and relationships into schoolwith her.
This statement reminds me several things! First it is essential to create an environment that honors respect and emotional safety for all! Secondly, we need to listen, observe, and be present with each child!
As life flows with thethoughts of the children, we need to be open, weneed to change our ideas; we need to be comfortablewith the restless nature of life.
Reminds me of the importance of being a flexible human being.
Overactivity on the part of the adult is a risk factor.The adult does too much because he cares about thechild; but this creates a passive role for the child inher own learning.
This reminds me of that great quote by Maya "Be careful what you teach because you may be disrupting the learning." It is so fascinating that dance we are taught to respect the boundary of the power they hold in their own learning. But at the same time how can we make sure our intervention and direction is the absolute most effective while not disruptive?
time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.
This reminds me of our practice of having a meal for attendees after a funeral - the idea that life does go on, even in the midst of pain and suffering.
"A right is like you know in your heart it's okay to do it ... you can do it if you want and that's it."
This somewhat reminds me of when I asked a child what they thought a dream was and he said, a dream is like using your imagination in your sleep!
Two loves I have of comfort and despair, Which like two spirits do suggest me still: The better angel is a man right fair, The worser spirit a woman colour’d ill.
This reminds me when i see a movie scene with a little angel on one man's shoulder and a little devil on the other shoulder.
The smoke floated up toward Will’s face. It came up in front of his eyes and nose and hung there, then it danced and played around his face, and disappeared.
This reminds me of the resurants where mobs would come and torment people of color and allies by blowing smoke in their face. This is so disrespectful and it makes me so mad.
“Then you lied, boy. You lied to me because you’re in the Army Reserve. That right?”
This reminds me of a riddle where you tell someone the color of the bus drivers eye than you ask them to track the number of people getting in and out of a bus and then after 10 minutes you say what color was the bus drivers eyes. They are setting him up for failure and they are saying he lied because the Army Reserve is an organization. This shows the injustice that existed in the voting system.
Then it came about that the love of Kai Kawous for Sudaveh grew yet mightier, and he was as wax under her hands. And when she saw that her empire over him was strengthened, she filled his ear with plaints of Saiawosh, and she darkened the mind of the Shah till that his spirit was troubled, and he knew not where he should turn for truth.
In looking at this moment, the "them" vs "us" is even used with ones own blood. Sudaveh manipulates Kai Kawous in order to get back on Saiawosh for denying her. This reminds me a bit of Lord of the Rings, where the king of Gondor is made ill and is under Sauromon's control and doesn't care that his son was killed. In this sense, Saiawosh is being made into a "them" despite truly being an "us" as he is from his father.

, “they continue to repeat the stories until they become the norm, and policy emerges accordingly.”
Reminds me of the media coverage of police violence and how they shape stereotypes
who howled on their knees in the subway and were dragged off the roof waving genitals and manuscripts
!! I was trying to figure out what this poem reminded me of and this was the line that brought me clarity!! It reminds me of getting of work at 12 AM in downtown SF and seeing and hearing the some of people who are addicted to drugs and usually without anywhere to go just sort of crying and screaming and not knowing where they are and not fully clothed.
only the devil himself could follow that complicated trail through the jungle after dark. But perhaps the general was a devil—
This reminds me of when Katniss lay in a tree at night and she was relating the capitol to the devil
"Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if needs be, taken by the strong. The weak of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure. I am strong. Why should I not use my gift? If I wish to hunt, why should I not? I hunt the scum of the earth: sailors from tramp ships—lassars, blacks, Chinese, whites, mongrels—a thoroughbred horse or hound is worth more than a score of them
This reminds me of the hunger games and how children are forced to kill each other for sport and entertainment and the general is killing men foe sport and entertainment
I want to feel the surging Of my sad people’s soul Hidden by a minstrel-smile.
This reminds me a bit of the end of "The Weary Blues" by Langston Hughes in that it captures that deep sadness that people of color feel when faced with oppression. In this poem the speaker just wants to enjoy their history and roots but a lot of it has been anguished by slavery and injustice.
And let us be contained
To relate to current times during this pandemic and quarantine. We are like these first four lines of the poem. Just staying still and waiting while being contained. This reminds me of how the world is reacting now as we wait for these confusing times to pass.
I am weaving a song of waters,
This reminds me of the repetition and importance of rivers for life/living from Hughes, especially since songs have heavy importance for identity and culture.
My song has the lush sweetness Of moist, dark lips Where hymns keep company
Something I love about this movement is how poets romanticize black people and their music. There is less acknowledgment of the saddness that haunts the black community. Instead, there is celebration of black culture, which feels more liberating. By displaying this beauty, more people in the black community might begin to internalize it as well. This reminds me of severing the veil, and reclaiming their identity.
For some of us have songs to sing Of jungle heat and fires, And some of us are solemn grown With pitiful desires,
This reminds me of Langston Hughes' "Weary Blues." I feel like this line is very telling of the times, and how the black community collectively started to find a voice through music.
The vast majority of medical research, for instance, is based on studies of men
This part of the podcast was especially mindblowing to me. I knew that in medical research women are often overlooked, but I hadn't really thought through what the consequences of that oversight could be. The fact that I, as a woman, immediately think of the "male" version of a heart attack, and that I wasn't even aware that my symptoms could (or indeed, likely will) be different, is terrifying. And the rationale, that women complicate data due to menstrual cycles etc, reminds me of pre-modern doctors writing women's symptoms off as hysteria. This outright absence of women in medical data is shocking.
rivers
The use of anaphora for the word rivers is really interesting. It reminds me of the class discussion of the dry vs. the wet. Usually water (wet) is symbolic of life and in this case is representative of many different types of lives lived, from the Euphrates, the Nile, to the Mississippi.
I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it. I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln went down to New Orleans,* and I’ve seen its muddy bosom turn all golden in the sunset.
This reminds me of the shift in power dynamics the Africans have gone through in history. In ancient Egypt, while the Egyptians were responsible for creating the pyramids, they also enslaved a handful of the Jews to assist them in the building. This dynamic shfts years later, when the Africans are enslaved in America.
What happens to a dream deferred?
It is amazing that he brings up having a dream, this reminds me of MLK's "i have a dream speech." In this context however, the dream isn't something that is just born as it was with MLK but instead its something that has been long lived. Moreover, he is articulating what happens when a dream has longed for but never progresses further than just a fantasy-- it dies.
Tell all the Truth but tell it slant —Success in Circuit liesToo bright for our infirm DelightThe Truth's superb surprise
This reminds me of a famous nursery rhyme that ended up having a grim meaning. It is okay to tell the truth "slantly" when protecting others. However, one must be aware that this secret is not infinite.
I feel like this poem is reflecting on how telling the truth is not the correct choice always. While telling the truth is the best option in most cenarios, there are times where the truth will only make things worse. This reminds me of the parents that tell their kid that they're pet was sent to a farm, when in reality the pet died. It is truth that doesn't need to be told in the moment, as it will only make things worse.
Tell all the Truth but tell it slant —Success in Circuit liesToo bright for our infirm DelightThe Truth's superb surprise
She is saying to not be fully honest and by doing that one will find success. It reminds me of the saying "fake it till you make it." Sometimes the brain cannot grasp certain realities or doesn't want to hear harsh truths so sometimes it is easier or more appealing to hear/tell a slightly twisted truth.
I shall return to loiter by the streams That bathe the brown blades of the bending grasses, And realize once more my thousand dreams
There seems to be a theme of water and rebirth in McKay and Hughes' poems.I like the hopefullness that comes with the idea of returning again, and finally carrying out one's dreams. This reminds me of Hughes' poem "Harlem," seemingly offering a response to the question propsed--"what happens to a dream deferred?" Here, it seems as if McKay is hopefull of one day pursuing those dreams. The poetry of this time indicates liberation is coming, so we must push forward.
Yet, as a rebel fronts a king in state, I stand within her walls with not a shred Of terror,
This is hardcore!! The speaker is not scared of the personified institution that steps on him. Reminds me of David and Goliath.
How can we portray emotions, gestures, and attention in an authentic way through a computational medium?
This reminds me a bit of Kevin Marks' post about phatic reactions in social media: http://epeus.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-twitter-works-in-theory.html
The Sims Online was a potentially cozy game dominated by a community of sociopaths. Thematically, it had elements of coziness with pleasant house in friendly neighborhoods. However, these went only skin deep. In an attempt to make a ‘realistic’ simulation, many resources including housing were zero sum in nature. This enabled mafia-esque gangs to enforce coercive social structures like protection rackets. Very quickly the place became anti-cozy; a virtual dystopia. Coziness needs to exist at the systems level in order to have social ramifications.
Reminds me of when some people modded Fallout 2 to support multiplayer and launched a server.. They had to wipe in few days, becaus of groups of people who got power armor and made newjoiners fight each other in exchange for the ammunition, etc..
Addition-ally, teachers maintain a distance between themselves and students whom they see as “other” to them (Petrone & Lewis, 2012).
This discussion about the way texts and readers are treated reminds me of Kenneth Goodman's important criticism of phonics instruction and inauthentic reading assessment. http://www.u.arizona.edu/~kgoodman/papers02.html
'In this politicizing of reading instruction, "a virtual censorship of authentic literature and critical thinking enters the classroom through two back doors, which bear the mislabels of science and standards."'
I want to live a good life and I want to risk my life, because I can also lose my life in one night
I love this sentence. It reminds me of our forefathers who risked their lives bringing change to us - the freedom, the liberty, the independence, that we currently have is the efforts they put in practice with their lives at stake.
Most meetings I attend are dominated by male voices, even if the absolute number of women and men in the room is fairly balanced.
This reminds me of what we learned in class the other day about mansplaining. Mansplaining is how men tend to occupy more space than women physically, but I think this also is the same thing. There were the same amount of men and women, but the men stood out more and talked more
the best that we have
This reminds me of Churchill's attribution (apparently said as a quote of someone else) "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others." https://richardlangworth.com/worst-form-of-government
The answer is no; not because the New Negro is not here, but because the Old Negro had long become more of a myth than a man.
Reminds me of the ghost metaphor, about being there and not at the same time. So the "New Negro" doesn't really exist because there was never an "Old Negro", but it does exist at the same time because of the power of the myth.
