    1. tethered

      This might be a reach, but this reminds me very much of Jordan Peele's film "Us." It could be the use of the word "tethered" but Bhabha uses language like "splits his presence, distorts his outline, breaches his boundaries, repeats his action at a distance, disturbs and divides the very time of his being," which is exactly how uniquely American inequalities are portrayed in the film. Bhabha has an idea of "ambivalence" - that those who are colonized can have a split in their identity. Partly their colonizers identity, partly their own identity, the self and the other. These ideas are deeply etched into the colonial identity. Fanon wants to snap the tether.

    1. depend on the plot of original unity out ofwhich difference must be produced and enlisted in a drama ofescalating domination of woman/nature.

      This reminds me of the story from Plato's symposium about the world beginning with everyone having another human attached to them until Zeus cut them in two.

    2. specter of the ghost

      this is an intereting transition from two very conrete thinsg (organism and machine) to the more contestable otherworldly concept of a spectr. It almost reminds me of the first paragraph wherein she equates blasphamy and religion to the cyborg... I wonder why she doesn't acknowledge these transitions between the concrete and the fantastically theoretical.

    1. Lugete, o Veneres Cupidinesque,et quantum est hominum venustiorum:

      I really really love these first two lines. We start off with this really fancy address to higher power beings, the Venuses and Cupids, and then we have a total shift to a rather colloquial sounding phrase. It reminds me of the poems we went over on Friday, where Catullus speaks of the endless stars in the sky, and the uncountable grains of sand. Although the two do not exactly correlate with one another, I think it is easy to see the fondness Catullus has for creating tension and comparison between different groups.

    1. he stoplights here are long, two minutes or more. Badu would have had time to sit and consider what he was doing.

      Reminds me of the way Baran walks Flowers' route. The act of recreating what the subject did often reveals new information.

    1. In school, most youth only consume digital stories and resources. We need to transition from consumption to creation of digital content, from students as consumers to students as creators of digital content. When students create digital content that they value, they are much more likely to be engaged.

      This is an accurate and relevant observation. Students will not be empowered to use the digital content that they are presented with if they are only consumers of this technology. When students are given the position of creator, they get to consider the rheotrical impact of their digital content (audience, purpose, etc.) in the same way that they do while composing a more traditional piece of writing. This reminds me of the stop-motion example that we watched in technology class. Considering that the kindergartners took an active role in transforming the children's book into an interactive video, the students will be encouraged to pick up this technology in their future.

    1. never stops

      This reminds me of a video I saw online of Californians being surprised about being able to hear lots of birds due to the lack of noise from the quarantine. That's very interesting to me, because it emphasizes the fact of the beauty that birds represent being ever-present, even in times of great distress, like now.

    1. I almost think I can remember feeling a littledifferent. But if I ’m not the same, the nextquestion is, Who in the world am I

      This reminds me of the physical changes that many go through in adolescence and from middle school to high school. Many during these years ask themselves and some just unconsciously try to figure out what their identity is when going through adolescence

    1. e judge, assess, give feedback to, and grade writing by students of color

      This reminds me a lot about discussions we had in RWS 602 regarding codeswitching and Vershawn Ashanti Young recognizing a need for codemeshing.

    1. The Idea that women could a) not like children and b) not have children is baffaling and outrageous to some people. Your ability to have children determines your worth as a woman, and wife. it however does not determine your capabilities of rasing children. Here. a woman's choice in wanting children is ignored and children become more of an obligatin that is meant to be fulfuilled. This reminds me of the character Christina Yang from Grey's Anatomy how she cried that she was free when Dr. Burke broke off their wedding, and when she was struggling in her relationship with Dr. Hunt because she did not want children. Its a constant battle between the ideas of feminity and womanhood and individual choice.

    1. disconnected from a con-crete reality. Each unique child is tightly connected and linked to conditions in time and space.

      This reminds me of the beautiful story we just heard about with the children wanting to help clean up the rubble after the destruction in TN. Children are connected just as we are to what is and has happened around us. It is important that we honor this right of theirs.

    1. However, I am quite ready to enter your name, should your answers be what a really affectionate mother requires.  Do you smoke?

      This section reminds me of a job interview or a form for renting an apartment. Clearly, Lady B. does not care about the importance of love. This interview also commodifies Gwendolen into something to be qualified or earned rather than a person that can choose who they want in their lives. It is commentary on the state of marriages for the rich during this time. It all sounds like business.

    1. he task of those who ducate is not only to allow the differen es to be expressed, but to make it possible for them to be negotiated and nurtured through exchanging and comparing ideas.

      This reminds me of conflict resolution and why it is so important to understand why a child did what they did. Emotion is often the immediate catalyst for a child's behavior which is why I stress emotional validation.

    2. Listening should recognize the many languages, symbols and codes that people use in order toexpress themselves and communicate

      This reminds me of the hundred languages of children. Just as there are multiple ways for children to express themselves, there are multiple ways to really listen to these expressions.

    1. In what way could this sentence also serve as a signal for a ritualistic use of this narrative?

      This sentence reminds me of the stock phrases we use to introduce or end fairy tales. The “thus it was” could function in a similar way, as a closing formula to a certain type of narrative shared by a specific (the Lakota) culture. The sentence serves as some kind of concluding wrap-up comment on the story told and it emphasizes the relevance of both the “Beautiful Woman” and her precious gift. It marks the preceding narrative as a story about the origin of an important cultural ritual and object and therefore makes it very suitable for ritualistic use and retelling.

    1. as captive kingsought to be, the living picture beside the father’slifelessimage:butCaesarthusshowed offthe toddlerasa rightful prince.

      This is different from previous instances where most would have killed the son. This reminds me of Cleopatra's and Caesar's son Caesarion who was the heir to Caesar's rule was killed by Augustus, which allowed for Augustus to take power over Rome.

    2. Massinissa was caught between humanpietasto wife and tofriend,fidesto personal and (as king) political morality. Powerless to keep herphysically safe, he could only help her to die–a classic Punic honour-suicide,like that of her brother Hannibal, self-poisonedc. 183 BCE to escape imprison-ment, and of Hasdrubal’s wife in 146

      This reminds me a little of The Illiad where Andromache fears that if her husband Hektor goes to war she would be taken as a prisoner. In this case Sophonisba ad Massinissa saw honor in suicde.

    1. Find a quiet, comfortable place to sit, then close your eyes and let your body go loose. A reclining armchair is ideal. You can lie down, but this will increase your chances of falling asleep. Although relaxing before bed can improve your sleep, the goal of this exercise is to learn to relax while awake. Wear loose, comfortable clothing, and don’t forget to remove your shoes. Take about five slow, deep breaths before you begin. This reminds me of guided meditation. Another great tool that should be used on a regular basis to be of any benefit. I would need to implement these into my own life in order to help someone else to implement it into theirs. Jennifer

    1. Chester The Cat Feels Anxious! Identifying Anxiety in the Body

      I like this cute little picture of Chester the cat. It's simple and is a great visual guide to help you and your student/child to discover where in their body they are feeling the anxiety. This reminds me of when my daughter was little, every time she was about to see her biological father she would get a tummy ache. I never told her it was anxiety around seeing her father but I knew it was. I am grateful to now have something I can give her to cope with her anxiety, if she will take it and use it. Jennifer

    1. Want a preview? Click here!

      Flip it reminds me of "Plan B" from Ross Greene's book; "Lost at School" except FLIP it encourages using their steps quickly (1-10 minutes) and they're for ages 3-8 years old. FLIP it is probably what most teachers and parents would want to use because it is less time consuming. Plan B on the other hand, you can use for all ages and it possibly has better results in the long run because you take more time to nurture the relationship. Jennifer

    1. Bill Totts would have to cease.

      This sequence reminds me of "The Yellow Wallpaper" and the narrator's struggles to decipher the figures within the wallpaper, and what to do about them when they were stuck inside

    1. the germs of empires.

      This reminds me of the wording of pollution theory. Where as it's usually minorities that are compared to being "germs" and "viruses," in this case, it is flipped, calling large empires the germs instead which would even complicate Moore's and Douglas' theories.

    1. it is the soul of the soul.

      In response to discussion question 2, Mussolini claims that the Fascist State is a spiritual force. In many people's views and even in certain religions, spirituality is not necessarily linked to religion as a whole. They look at spirituality as a personal link to themselves, their community, and the universe. The phrase "it is the soul of the soul" reminds me more of this line of thinking than a strictly religious line of thinking.

    2. here is no concept of the State which is not fundamentally a concept of life;

      This reminds me of how many people think about religion. People live their lives by tenets of religion, which makes the concepts in the religion "fundamentally a concept of life." In this way, Mussolini is stating that people should be living their lives through the tenets of the state just as they would live through tenets of a religion.

    1. triving to be perfect will hold you back because it causes a lot of anxiety. When every task or test is a measure of one’s self worth, school can certainly feel very risky, full of potential land minds. While mild to moderate levels of anxiety can be motivating (think of how hard it would be to get motivated to study for a test if weren’t anxious at all), high levels of anxiety actually interfere with learning and get in the way. It can take SO much time too. Perfectionism can also take a huge toll on your mood

      This reminds me of a student of mine, who was constantly trying to be perfect in everything. He ended up being very sick for awhile, and as it turns out, his stress and anxiety level was so high that he just couldn't do it anymore.

    1. The difficulties faced by African writers of dystopian fiction are representative of those faced by African novelists in general, who must often strain against the generic characteristics of the fundamentally bourgeois form within which they write.

      A challenging dichotomy of form versus message. Books are purchased largely by the upper classes, so it has to be revolutionary, but not too revolutionary so as not to alienate the largest purchasers of them. It reminds me of Lindsay Ellis's video on Rent and how subversive storytelling on Broadway cannot be too subversive or else it will alienate the predominantly upper class, white purchasers of Broadway tickets.

    1. “the ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change.” 

      This reminds me of the saying "you're stronger than you know." Resilience is bouncing back, being strong when you feel weak, it is the art of pushing through when you feel like everything is holding you back.

    1. But spam begins to make sense only when we get specific and separate out the different types, motives, actors, and groups.

      This reminds me of Jeong's definition of harassment in Internet of Garbage, pointing out the trickiness of definitional multiplicity.

    2. Attention, the scarce resource of human notice,

      Reminds me of one of the first texts that we read, and how harassment seemed to be targeted at the amount of attention that a person or group was receiving as much as, if not more than the message put forth by that person or group.

    1. this drawing conveys with artistic precision the sense of smallness that children often experience in the world of adults.

      This reminds me of the importance of adults in an early childhood setting being on level with the children. We loom large in the eyes of young children when we do not put ourselves on the floor with them.

    1. Reflective Practice Sessions are a time to talk about the work you do to support children and adults. The sessions focus on experiences, thoughts, and feelings directly connected with the work you are doing with young children and the adults in their lives.

      Reminds me of the sessions that we have at Eric Hamber Secondary, where we sit down and talk about the work that we do, and reflect on the practices that we use.

    1. and we degraded prisoners destined to hunger until we eat filth

      This reminds me of the quote "When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they'll eat the rich". When everyone is eating filth the prisoners will be fed? I don't know, I think I'm missing something from this idea.

    2. By constantly tormenting them with reminders of the lice in their children’s hair, the School Physician first brought their hatred down on him. But by this familiarity they grew used to him, and so, at last, took him for their friend and adviser.

      This entire poem reminds me of the demeanor of Freddie when he goes South of the Slot. Especially when he gets beaten up in the beginning of the story for not knowing the art of shirking. Eventually, Freddie, known as Bill Totts, is accepted by the working class people that live South of the Slot. This poem is similar in that respect because the school physician gets reprimanded by the poor parents for doing the right thing, but eventually "[take] him for their friend and adviser".

    3. peasant traditions to give them character

      Sometimes I think peasant traditions are the only place where character can be found at all. It reminds me of bohemia, or what we'd call "hipsters" today.

    4. which have no peasant traditions to give them character

      These couple of verses makes me think that William maybe be describing the lives of peasants that predominantly live in the mountain regions of Kentucky, and New Jersey. The type of people that live here, however, are, its deaf-mutes, thieves, and reckless men who venture out for railroading. Kind of reminds me of the "Mystery Text", in particular, those that live South of Slot.

    5. Lifeless in appearance, sluggish dazed spring approaches

      The themes of lifelessness appears once more, something that's consistent throughout this piece. It reminds me of the ideas of the veil, separation, and themes of life and death especially in Du Bois, along with the ghosty topics.

    6. By constantly tormenting them with reminders of the lice in their children’s hair, the School Physician first brought their hatred down on him

      This reminds me of "the veil" and how even the poor have a veil, not just people of color. By tormenting someone about the lice in their hair, it not only reminds them that they cannot afford proper hygine, but they internalize that they are dirty and it dehumanizes them.Here we see how the poor can develop a double consciousness, and one's hate for them can become hate for themselves.

    7. But by this familiarity they grew used to him, and so, at last, took him for their friend and adviser.

      This reminds me of that phrase "familiarity breeds fondness." Is it really true? Granted, in this situation the school physician is actually trying to help.

    1. They are now finding their way into scholarly communication

      This reminds me of the "Is Social Media a Viable Platform for Scientific Research?" article / blog published by a student of PUB 480's 2018 cohort.

    1. So he pulled out a feather and laid it beside the sleeping man. Then he left them and went off a short distance, for he knew that a woman was being formed from the feather.

      It reminds me of how man and woman was formed in Christianity. Which I'm no longer part of but i thought I'd quote the Bible verses for comparison. 7 Then the Lord God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. 18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”But for Adam[f] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs[g] and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[h] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

    1. He further states that “[a]s an unmarked category against which difference is constructed, whiteness never has to speak its name, never has to acknowledge its role as an organizing principle in social and cultural relations” (p. 1). As these scholars indicate, “whiteness” works as an invisible and elusive structure of privilege, one that allows for constant reinvention and rearticulation to protect the interests of a white racial ruling class.

      This reminds me of the video on meritocracy by DeRay how white privilege is built into power structures to help white people while also being invisible to allow others to think that there is a shot at merit based advancement.

    1. The metaphor of “catching the ball that the children throw us, and then tossing it back to continue the game” is a favorite one in Reggio Emilia

      This reminds me of the zone of proximal development...where growth happens.

    2. importance of tuning in to exactly what children say (verbally or nonverbally

      This idea reminds me of something I was taught early in my teaching career that all behavior is simply a form of communication. It is up to us as the adult and teacher to decipher what is trying to be said. Get into the intention behind the action, which can be two completely different ideas.

    3. but must act in such a way as to persuade children that they deeply share this image.

      This reminds me of a reading we previously had that stated much of early childhood education gets lost when being transferred from theory to practice. I love that an emphasis is placed on practice.

    1. 

      "Of or relating to a dualistic view of the world, dividing things into either good or evil, light or dark, black or white, involving no shades of gray." I did not know what that term meant but this description of it reminds me of antinomies

    1. This keychain is my favorite one because it reminds me where I'm from and who I am .

      Those little reminders can make a bad day into a good day by just one glimpse. I can totally relate to this.

    1. Confrontational politics in Washington

      This reminds me of Netflix's House of Cards (dramatized originally on BBC). Career politicians allow for party elites. One way to look at how the party elite represents a constituency is if they vote in favor of what their constituents want or what lobbyists/influencers propose to win votes(or favors) in future elections.

    1. As for why I like this photo was because looking at the clouds reminds me of future possibilities.

      would enjoy a bit more insight on specifics on what makes you like this scenery

    1. Do learners consciously make connections between their work and that of the greater community?

      This is why I think it is important for students to write for an audience other than the teacher. If students are simply creating work for the purpose of receiving a grade, then nothing meaningful is resulting from the assignment. Students are empowered to thoroughly consider their audience and purpose when working on a project that will eventually be presented to a larger audience. This reminds me of the video from a Portland school that we watched in technology class, where the students had to write grant proposals to install historic art around the city. Students need to be writing for an audience outside of their individual instructor because this prepares them for real-world practices.

    1. if that same individual also carries an allele that results in a fatal childhood disease,that fecundity phenotype will not pass to the next generation because the individual will not live to reachreproductive age.

      This would probably be a relatively rare occurrence. Odds are the individual would've inherited the favorable reproductive trait from the parent and they may have also been effected by a rare genetic disorder that results in infant mortality. This reminds me of Tay Sachs, a fatal genetic disorder with a childhood onset.

  4. Feb 2020
    1. Anxious children and teens worry in excess and to an extreme. They worry about more things, more often, and in more extreme ways than their peers. Socially anxious teens are not just worried about saying the wrong thing once or twice, but are afraid that they will say the wrong thing repeatedly, be judged harshly by their peers, and embarrass themselves beyond repair for the rest of their lives!

      This reminds me of when Anxiety Canada refers to anxiety as a fog, it is something those with anxiety cannot see through or look past. Even when we know that its irrational, it is still next to impossible to accept seeing it from a different perspective.

    1. e. When you drain your cup, you will see fine grains coating the bottom. The effects soon hit. Emperors of the world, beware

      This entire article in general just reminds me how certain things can have such large effects. Money is an example- some people can be all about money, to the point where it takes them over and controls them. It is crazy how things can just snowball into something that we probably did not even imagine, which is what happened with coffee and the Ottoman Empire... or how things that we love so much, can become poison at some point and cause a lot that we did not ask for. These were just all of my thoughts that were running through my head while reading this.

    2. Coffee houses gave men somewhere to congregate other than in homes, mosques or markets, providing a place for them to socialise, exchange information, entertain – and be educated.

      This is very similar to what we have today. This actually reminds me of places like Starbucks or Panera bread where people get their coffee or other beverages and hang out or do work. Could these modern establishments be influenced by this?

    1. But then Loyaan is a far cry from the individualist heroes of most Western detective fiction, and it is clear throughout Sweet and Sour Milk that Farah’s focus is on Somali society and not on his protagonist Loyaan. For one thing, the split between the twins Soyaan and Loyaan already destabilizes the bourgeois notion of unique identity. For another, Soyaan is far more “heroic” in his opposition to tyranny than is Loyaan, and the focus on the relatively passive Loyaan undermines any attempt to read the book as a story of individual heroism

      Reminds me of the points made by Marcia Lynx Qualey about how Non-western writing bucks conventions and standards of western genres

    1.  It is the cause, it is the cause, my soul,—Let me not name it to you, you chaste stars!—It is the cause. Yet I’ll not shed her blood;Nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow,3305And smooth as monumental alabaster.Yet she must die, else she’ll betray more men.Put out the light, and then put out the light:If I quench thee, thou flaming minister,

      This reminds me of the monologue Macbeth does before he murders King Duncan. Both works have a character engage in monologue before they kill someone who is close to them. Interesting to see this in another one of Shakespeare's plays

    2. Ther

      At first the Duke discusses that a Turkish fleet is going to Cyprus. Othello enters with everyone to be tested before the Duke. Othello is commanded by the Duke to stop the general. The Duke requested for Brabantio's help. Brabantio would of been by the Duke's side if he wasn't distracted by Othello's actions. Duke wanted to be filled in on the issue. Brabantio explains about his daughter. Senator asks if shes dead? Brabantio responds with she's dead to me, she was abused and stolen from him and corrupted by witchcraft. Duke asked who did such actions? Brabantio points the finger at Othello. Othello explains his love for Desdemona. Brabantio was appalled that Desdemona fell for Othello, because she was so innocent, so Brabantio thought witchcraft(spells) were used. Othello was asked if he had used witchcraft. Othello requested that Desdemona should testify. If Desdemona says that she doesn't like Othello then kill him. Othello explains how he got together with Desdemona. Othello would explain his time in the army, and Desdemona felt bad for Othello. Desdemona loved Othello because she felt bad for him through all of his hard times. Othello loved Desdemona because she would feel bad for him and pity him. Desdemona enters and explains her love for him. The Duke started to agree with Othello and suggested that Brabantio should listen to Desdemona. The Duke reminds Othello that he should defend Cyprus from the Turks. Othello agrees to go but only if Desdemona gets the proper care. Desdemona wants to go with Othello. The offer for Desdemona to go with Othello is declined, and Othello must leave someone with Desdemona. Brabantio tells Othello to watch Desdemona closely, because Desdemona deceived her own father so she might deceive Othello. Desdemona goes with Iago and his wife to be protected, while Othello goes to war. Roderigo is suicidal at one point. Iago suggests to destroy Desdemona and Othello's love. Iago suggests to meet with Roderigo in the morning to discuss the plot. Iago plans that Desdemona and Othello will cheat on each other.

    1.  Thisne!”—“Ah Pyramus, my lover dear! Thy Thisbe dear and lady dear!

      Reminds me of those "plays" when someone dresses up one side of themselves as one character and the other side of their body in another costume so they can play both parts.

    1. do not show any signs of agreeing with the second specification

      hahaha he's mad because no one in his little club likes his rule he reminds me of Angelica from Rugrats

    2. —never consider anything as dogma

      This seems against what the point of the essay was. It reminds me of Hillbilly Elegy where a point is being made but it's not consistent or fought for strongly.

    3. All this, however, some may consider open to debate.

      I wonder why there is a need to debate these subjects, and particularly now. It reminds me of the current political debates now, where rules need to be followed or compromises need to be made.

    4. Direct treatment of the “thing” whether subjective or objective. To use absolutely no word that does not contribute to the presentation. As regarding rhythm: to compose in the sequence of the musical phrase, not in sequence of a metronom

      These steps for what constitutes poetry or this "new wave" of poetry reminds me of the movie, The Dead Poet's Society. Theres a couple scenes in the film based around this book that students have to study when reading analyzing poetry; there's a scientific scale for the goodness and brilliance of the poetry. These steps are similar to that scale, but in a more specific context and in a less offensive way.

    1. One to Ones: Expanding our collective capacity to get things done through relationships

      WOW! This reminds me of some of the things high school coaches are talking about in their relationships w/ some of the staff. I wonder how powerful 1 to 1 talks could be with stakeholders in our area (ie. MPS employees/officials, university officials, etc.)

    1. His funeral, in spite of the time that had elapsed since his death, was carried out as follows. In the Roman Forum a wooden platform was constructed hard by the marble rostra, upon which  p169 was set a shrine, without walls, but surrounded by columns, cunningly wrought of both ivory and gold. 3 In it there was placed a bier of the same materials, surrounded by heads of both land and sea animals and adorned with coverlets of purple and gold. Upon this rested an effigy of Pertinax in wax, laid out in triumphal garb; and a comely youth was keeping the flies away from it with peacock feathers, as though it were really a person sleeping.

      Wow this reminds me of that funeral passage Prof. Yarrow read out in class.

    2. As for the various cities and private citizens, Severus punished some and rewarded others; of the Roman senators he slew none, but deprived most of them of their property and confined them on islands. He was merciless in his raising of funds; thus, for example, he exacted four times the amount that any individuals or peoples had given to Niger, whether they had done so voluntarily or under compulsion. 5 He himself doubtless perceived that he was ill spoken of because of this, but, as he required large sums of money, he paid no attention to what people said.

      Reminds me of the concept of benficium, particularly with Caesar. He grants clemency to his enemies and gifts to his allies in order to hold them to a certain conduct and standard.

    1. please the patriarchy, and maybe, just maybe, be of enough merit to hover somewhere near the highest rank’s spot on the social pyramid

      This reminds me of trying to figure out how to behave in high school so that the popular people will start inviting you to their parties and let you sit with them at lunch.

    1. The patriarchy these characters face marks a convergence of traditional Middle Eastern beliefs with contemporary Western culture

      This reminds me of the criticism we've spoken about in class regarding Western values held by Middle Eastern directors. The tendency to condemn filmmakers for this fact feels harsh in a sense because no one's belief system goes untouched by Western culture due to the violent history of imperialism and colonialism.

    1. All men recognize the right of revolution

      This value reminds me of the first amendment, the right to petition the government. The amendment isn't as intense but it is still sending the same message, that if the government is wrong, we then have the right to tell them they are.

    2. The universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us. Let us spend our lives in conceiving then.

      The line "whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us" reminds me of something from fast and furious but it also shows how giant life is no matter what we are doing or how fast we are doing it we are always going somewhere.

    3. Children, who play life, discern its true law and relations more clearly than men, who fail to live it worthily, but who think that they are wiser by experience, that is, by failure.

      He believes that children live life worthier than men because children live in the present where men have a clouded mind thinking in the future. I like how the author trades experience to failure. It reminds me when I was a kid and coaches and teachers use to say "you learn from your mistakes". He attacks that and shows everybody has a difference of opinions, something we easily hold to be true is a lie in other peoples mind.

    1. when he heard that sentence of death had been pronounced against him, too, drank the blood of a hare

      I find this interesting, because it reminds me of the Cleopatra readings. Instead of letting himself be put to death by others, he chose to do it himself. Was this an act of self pride?

    1. some cancer cells are able to “hide” from the immune system.

      This was a striking sentence for me. I was unaware that there are some forms of cancer cells that go undetected by the bodies natural immune system. The fact that cancer cells are able to, in a sense, not listen to the "turn off switch" reminds me a bit when we talked about lactose, and how some people who are unable to ingest dairy is because the gene which is "turned on" and "turned off at birth, my connection is how for people who are able to eat dairy, their "turn off" switch never reacted.

    1. For many of us, friends are a vital source of social suppor

      this reminds me of the times I spend with my friends after we have not seen each other for months on end. After spending time with my friends and conversing with them, I find that my mood changes and I feel happy and refreshed.

    1. Abstract Recent technological advancements have had a drastic impact on the way individuals communicate.

      Unlike my other sources so far, this one reminds me of the scholarly articles we analyzed in class, this source contains an abstract and discussion which are key parts to expert articles.

    1. and he scoffs openly at any talk of things not to be felt and seen and put down in figures.

      Reminds me of the ways Dubois' was oriented in academe alongside his Blackening of American Sociology. How he had to reckon with the ways Blackness was deemed immeasurable and thus presented/perceived as myth or only "real" through the insidious ideologies/beliefs/assumptions of an inherently racist [white] American consciousness. I am also reminded of the incredible work of Ida B. Wells and Zora Neale Hurston.

    2. Out of one window

      Reminds me of Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street. The women in the doorways or looking out the windows, trapped by the authoritative male figures in their lives. They can see freedom, they know what it looks like, but they can't ever have it.

    3. I beg of you, for my sake and for our child’s sake, as well as for your own, that you will never for one instant let that idea enter your mind!

      This story reminds me a lot of Rosemary's Baby (minus the devil's involvement).

    4. You see he does not believe I am sick! And what can one do? If a physician of high standing, and one’s own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency—what is one to do? My brother is also a physician, and also of high standing, and he says the same thing.

      This reminds me of the notion of "female hysteria" when men would not believe a woman was mentally or physically ill, but rather hysteric. Often times, instead of getting treated for their actual health issues, women were just sent to an asylum. This belittles women by discrediting any physical or mental burdens they carry. It may be interpreted that being invalidated is what actually causes women to become "hysteric".

    5. ancestral halls

      "Ancestral walls" reminds me of Bob Kaufman's Ancient Rains. Perkins probably means a home that has been passed down her family generations.

    1. I am constantly surprised by the craftsmanship and artistry capable of artisans from long ago. In my mind, I imagine metal workings and carvings as a modern art because it appears long an tedious; but, seeing all of the inventions from long ago reminds me how innovative our ancestors are.

    1. Traditional authority is granted to individuals regardless of their qualifications.

      Outside the obvious Traditional authority of monarchs and religious authority this reminds me of people born into wealth. Though people may have never earned the wealth themselves they begin with a step up over others. Unless brought up in a family that makes their children work for their money, this could result in people carrying this traditional authority without ever earning it.

    1. Peer Review?

      Denise, I recommend including the term 'Peer Assessment' in the title or at least in the first paragraph as well. I don't think you need the definition of peer review from Merriam-Webster as it reminds me of peer reviewing journals. I think just jump right into the definition you have below the Merriam-Webster. Another option is to include a definition from the literature rather than dictionary definition.

    1. better but also enjoy the process, because the issue is real to you and your “intrinsic motivation

      This reminds me of a breakup. Where you are given a problem and do not know how to deal with it then you start going on, doing better for yourself, learning how to be on your own again, and creating new mindsets with memories

    2. The questions you ask should not be structured in a way that they seek one correct answer, per se, but rather perspectives or experiences of scholars that have come before you

      This reminds me more of how I would approach a scientific paper, not an English paper.

    1. accordingtotheAlaskantale

      The differentiation of tales reminds me somewhat of evolution with different stories branching off of similar feelings that a human feels when interacting with the world. Over time we learn more and more and therefore collectively change our perspectives and interactions.

    1. . When the doctor arrived, he explained that I was probably just too fat and that spotting was normal and he sent me home. Later that night my ass started hurting. Just behind the butt muscle and off a bit to the side. I walked. I stretched.

      This was crazy, it reminds me of when I had a discussion about how women often get misdiagnosed due to male doctors believing that they are over exaggerating their symptoms, especially with heart disease. This shows the importance of cultural competency in the medical field. Doctors need to be more open minded and listen to patience concerns.

    1. The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.

      This is a Beautiful quote from FDR. Everyone can help someone. He gave optimism to people at a time where it felt like there was no hope. Reminds me of the Ronald Reagan quote. You can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.

    1. What I was walling in or walling out,

      This reminds me of the short story graphic The Neighbor where the fence was was used to emphasize the distance between two people who lived next to each other.

    2. The witch that came (the withered hag)

      The way Frost specifically points out the witch is a "withered hag" reminds me of how women have been villianized and dehumanized throughout history over accusations of being a witch. What does this line say about the time period this was written in? Do you think this is this a slur to women?

    1. "Now John," quod Nicholas, "I wol nat lye;                     "Now John," said Nicholas, "I will not lie; 3514         I have yfounde in myn astrologye,                     I have found in my astrology, 3515         As I have looked in the moone bright,                     As I have looked on the bright moon, 3516         That now a Monday next, at quarter nyght,                     That now on Monday next, after midnight, 3517         Shal falle a reyn, and that so wilde and wood                     Shall fall a rain, and that so wild and raging 3518         That half so greet was nevere Noes flood.                     That Noah's flood was never half so large. 3519         This world," he seyde, "in lasse than an hour                     This world," he said, "in less than an hour 3520         Shal al be dreynt, so hidous is the shour.                     Shall all be drowned, so hideous is the shower. 3521         Thus shal mankynde drenche, and lese hir lyf."                     Thus shall mankind drown, and lose their lives."

      I found it very intriguing that Nicholas decides to use religion as a means to trick the carpenter, It reminds me of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight because in both their is a strong dependence on faith and religion. There definitely seems like there would be simpler ways to get the carpenter out of the house for the night. Something also gives me a suspicion during this part of the story that the idea may have come from the encounter between Nicholas and Alisoun at the beginning of the story because they both used religion to justify their actions and intentions there as well.

    1. opportunity for men with antifeminist ideas to broad-cast their views to more people than ever before

      Kind of reminds me of the fall of Tay, how quickly and the volume at which these ideas can infiltrate an AI system.

    2. also responded to the incident with a blog post, this one titled “Campus Special Snowflakes Melt upon Contact with Greek Myth ology.”47

      This critique of universities reminds me of the controversy at UArts last year (when I was still working there) where students protested the public lecture given by faculty member Camille Paglia. The administration refused to cancel the lecture, a move that was praised by alt-right factions of the internet. The protesters were harassed by online trolls and administrative offices even received random emails making derogatory comments about the protestors and praising the decision made by President Yager.

    1. With scientific data becoming increasingly complex, scientists will need to continue developing new kinds of visualizations to handle that complexity. To make those visualizations effective — for both scientists and the general public — data visualization designers will have to apply the best research on humans’ visual processing in order to work with the brain, rather than against it

      This article reminds me a lot of the bio stats class I am currently in. It makes me wonder how data presentation will change with time.

    1. heory of the hundred lan-guages of ch

      This reminds me of the quote from The Little Prince, "Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

    1. biggest surprise from today to social with #TinyHabitsCourse

      There is a certain amount of goofing around--Fogg's words. That reminds me of Mimi Ito's acronym (HOMAGO) to which I add (SO): hanging out, messing about, geeking out, sharing out) A certain amount of experimentation and loose play in devising and implementing tiny habits.

    1. And what is love but a rose that fades?

      I like this line a lot, it reminds me of Shakespeare's well known sonnet but puts a sad twist on it. Roses aren't usually used as symbols of love for their short-lived life spans.

    2. What is this I hear of sorrow and weariness, Anger, discontent and drooping hopes? Degenerate sons and daughters, Life is too strong for you– It takes life to love Life.

      This note is not necessarily for this passage, but for the three poems as a whole. I like how Lee connects these poems through a shared background of Spoon River. It reminds me of other fictionalized places that writers return to again and again, like Faulkner's "Yoknapatawpha County" (I had to look up how to spell that, yikes) or Sherwood Anderson's "Winesburg, Ohio". Having this place populated and realized gives the poems a novelesque feel when read together, which I have not experienced in much poetry.

    3. That no one knows what is good

      This reminds me of something out of an Alan Watts books I've been reading. "One cannot know pleasure without knowing pain". It's a yin and yang statement as old as time. One cannot understand the ethics of what is morally "good" unless one knows what NOT to do "evil".

    1. The authors considered how to use Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) and wireless technology to provide access to information about an area in ways that would be entertaining and informative for users.

      This reminds me of an app we purchased last summer before we went to Yellowstone. It was called Gypsy Guide and, using GPS when we entered the park each morning, gave us recommendations, facts, stories, and suggestions about which geysers and places of interest to see, which to skip. We had thought about booking a tour, but this was so much better as we could do it on our own time in our own car.

    1. civilization

      I wonder why he's chosen three phases of human civilization and if it's totally arbitrary. It reminds me of the old racial scientists who disagreed whether there were three, five, or twelve races. I wouldn't be surprised if another scholar identified five phases of human society, or another eighteen, while a hundred years pass and nobody realizes what a red flag it is to be unable to reconcile that.

    1. intended slaughter

      By adding the word “intended” at the beginning of the word “slaughter”, Behn further emphasizes what Oroonoko did to his beloved. In OED, “slaughter” is defined as “To kill, slay, murder (a person), esp. in a bloody or brutal manner.” As you can see, one of the synonyms that the dictionary provides for “slaughter” is “murder”. Since murder cannot be done unintentionally, and because “slaughter” is already a very powerful word to describe what Oroonoko had done, adding the word “intended” before the word “slaughter” further intensifies the incident. In my opinion, Behn might have wanted to add “intended” to help the reader further empathize with Oroonoko. Since Oroonoko is having a very difficult time trying to comprehend what he had done to Imoinda, Behn adds this word to convey the chaos and the confusion in Oroonoko’s mind. Besides his mind, he also feels remorse deep down in his heart. And the only way to make the reader feel and empathize with these extreme feelings is to add words that further highlight the incidents. Additionally, item number 129, “Oroonoko Goes Crazy” is one of the items in the Enlightenmens Gallery that is relevant to my interpretation. This art piece is a depiction of Oroonoko after being sold into slavery. He is attempting to fight the slaveholders and escape. Even though the scene that is drawn isn’t the scene that is annotated, the chaotic atmosphere of this image reminds me of Oroonoko’s confused mind. Also, his face that appears in the bottom left corner portrays similar emotions, such as confusion and fear, to what he feels after he kills Imoinda.

    1. how justly I was overtaken by the Judgment of Heaven for my wicked leaving my Father's House, and abandoning my Duty; all the good Counsel of my Parents,

      This reminds me of the story in the bible of the prodigal son. In this story, a young man leaves his family and completely wastes his inheritance. Ultimately, he returns home and his father accepts him with open arms, throwing him a huge welcome back party. Saying ”For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.”. When crusoe says he feels guilty for having left his “duty” to God and his father, it almost sounds exactly like the prodigal son apologizing to his father upon returning home:‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son”. This illustrates how Robinson crusoe indeed mirrors the bible, which considered a traditional text, although it is still considered one of the earliest novels.

      Luke 15 NIV, biblehub.com/niv/luke/15.htm. Mowat, Diane, and Daniel Defoe. Robinson Crusoe. Oxford University Press Canada, 2008.

    1. Hurricane Katrina

      This was another example that reminds me of the Chernobyl sheep farming paper last week that the government was not disseminating the information after the natural disaster properly. They lacked communication with the people who were in the most need of help. This caused a similar distrust of the government and what they were doing versus what they were promising.

    1. My mind’s desire reminds me at every moment, my spirit to outventure, that I should seek the homes of strange peoples far from here.

      so does this mean he seeks adventure in actual land? (since he's in sea) or is it something else that he seeks, im thinking maybe death since he says "homes of strange peoples far from here" (it's a longshot correct me if my interpretation is incorrect)

    1. Where he saw sequence, other men saw something quite different, and no one saw the same unit of measure.

      This reminds me of how I feel in math classes, which makes me wonder if the "left and right brain" theory is true. I can rarely spot sequences or patterns in math formulas, which makes me think some people were just born with one side of their brain stronger than others, and vice versa.

    2. he planet itself seemed less impressive, in its old-fashioned, deliberate, annual or daily revolution,

      This reminds me of the idea that we humans, as we learn more and advance in technology begin to become bored with life.

    3. No more relation could he discover between the steam and the electric current than between the Cross and the cathedral.

      Deep. Reminds me of the Simon & Garfunkel song The Sound of Silence. Specifically in relation to the lyric "--and the people bowed and prayed/to the neon God they made--" where there is an underlying fear of technology and power it has.

    4. he began to feel the forty-foot dynamos as a moral force, much as the early Christians felt the Cross. The planet itself seemed less impressive

      It is very interesting how Adams is able to combine man's desire for answers through God (religion) and technology. Man's pursuit of truth throughout the ages was informed by the narrative of Jesus. And yet as science and technology progressed humans became more entralled with their own ability to answers their own questions through inovation then to look to the sky and by narrative (the Bible).

      It reminds me of the famous Nietzsche quote "God is dead", which is often misinterpreted. He did not mean "God does not exist" or that he was proven false, but that western culture had lost their moral compass when they left God behind them.

    1. it’s far from being able to truly read.

      When I read this paragraph, I was worried about the situation there. We have already try our best to avoid violence and shooting using technology, but there still are some shadows that we can not find. This reminds me the utilitarianism and justice, but not in the allocative way, but the practicality. Apparently, there are no such way to solve this problem, at least right now. On the one hand, we can set as many as possible cameras in campus and monitoring tools on social media, but that cannot really capture the meaning behind each action and word. On the other hand, tons of cameras thoroughly violate the right of people to talk and act freely. Although I am totally on board with those monitors, I cannot see any sustainable future development with that. Casestudy

    1. 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 is cultural too. In India, care takers want to do everything for the children, to the extent that they remain dependent on them even when they are grown ups. It reminds me of the part in the other article that mentions, "the image is a cultural convention, a cultural interpretation, and therefore a political and social issue, which enables you to recognize or not to recognize certain qualities and potential of children."

    2. Clarifying the meaning of ourpresence and our being with children is somethingthat is vital for the child. When the child sees that theadult is there, totally involved with the child, thechild doesn’t forget. This is something that’s right forus and it’s right for the children

      Much like the paragraph above that I highlighted. It reminds me of the current mindfulness movement as well.

    3. We cannot separatethis child from a particular reality. She brings theseexperiences, feelings, and relationships into school

      I think that sometimes we forget what children go through at home. Many have adult size problems and this reminds me to be empathetic and accepting and help children to connect at school and respect the experiences they bring with them each day. I think in order to build a better relationship with them I should be listening to them more. Each child has something important to contribute to all of our learning. In the future I will elicit more conversations and responses from each child, and focus less on adult directives and talking.

    4. Exchange 3/94These comments are translated and adapted from a seminarpresented by Professor Loris Malaguzzi in Reggio Emilia,Italy, June 1993.There are hundreds of different images of the child.Each one of you has inside yourself an image of thechild that directs you as you begin to relate to a child.This theory within you pushes you to behave incertain ways; it orients you as you talk to the child,listen to the child, observe the child.

      This reminds me of a lot of attachment theory.

    1. dL;wcNXJhS5^w;n\;^N;X7;wZ?w56hc;w5X:wkhSX;^56NSNdo

      This reminds me of the Tolentino piece in which she remarks on how we must share our experiences in order to validate any sympathy we extend to others in their times of distress.

    1. About 16 million Africans were captured and transported to European slaveholding colonies.

      This is astonishing to me because 16 million people who have done nothing wrong are being treated unfair and not right. This just reminds me of the slavery down south when it happened.

    1. Those of us on the outside might wish for an immediate and full commitment to recovery,

      This reminds me of the techniques of motivational interviewing. When I read a textbook on the topic, it described the process of motivational interviewing as collecting people's own motivation to them like flowers and then presenting them with a bouquet.

    1. They said their schools were already overcrowded and underfunded, so why should they bus in other kids who weren’t part of their community?

      This reminds me of the elementary i went to, they didnt allow me to attend the school because i wasn't living in the range that they were accepting kids. i lived closer to this school than the other school that was accepting me. sometimes families are in seek for their child to attend a school thats in a better environment. why not let families that are willing to drive a mile or 2 farther for their child to attend?

    2. Even in the years before desegregation started, white families started to leave at alarmingly high rates

      This reminds me of how real estate agents in the Jim Crow era would encourage white families to move out of their neighborhoods before black families moved in. This was because of fear that their neighborhood would "become bad".

    1. There’s a cruel through-line between the unfair disciplining of a black preschooler, and the police profiling of a black teen on a street corner.

      This reminds me of the cruel cycle that a lot of minorities face. They do not have a proper education and grow up receiving negative treatment. This limits their ability to advance in life and in turn, cannot provide the best environment or resources to their children. Their children in turn repeat the cycle that their parents went through.

    2. segregation and discrimination begin on the very first day of preschool.

      I agree. This statement reminds me of when I was younger. I went to a preschool that was all people of color (mostly Latinos) from a low-income background. I went to an elementary school (two years later), a few blocks away -- it was also the same type of population of students. That is because the surrounding neighborhoods were composed of all people of color, from low-income backgrounds. I grew up thinking that segregated based on race/color schools was normal.

    3. segregation and discrimination begin on the very first day of preschool.

      This reminds me of what we learned from unit 1 regarding the doll test on how much school can impact students psychologically, and the concept of "segregate but equal" is segregation itself.

    1. craftier

      When thinking about this with no relative context, but with just the action and circumstances upfront, it reminds me of an example of natural selection. Only the strongest and smartest survive, and when thinking of this case the candidate whom shows more strength and craftiness will be acquire the position and thrive based on this logic.

    1. It is in the early days of rollicking boyhood that the revelation first bursts upon one, all in a day, as it were. I remember well when the shadow swept across me. I was a little thing, away up in the hills of New England, where the dark Housatonic winds between Hoosac and Taghkanic to the sea

      This experience reminds me of The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man by James Weldon Johnson. He relates "And so i have often lived through that hour, that day, that week in which was wrought the miracle of my transition from one world into another; for I did indeed pass into another world. From that time I looked out through other eyes, my thoughts were colored, my words dictated, my actions limited by one dominating all pervading idea...". Here, Johnson is stating that even as a young boy he realized that his experience is filtered through "the distorted influence which operates upon each colored man in the United States"

    2. He began to have a dim feeling that, to attain his place in the world, he must be himself, and not another.

      This quote reminds me of a line further in the piece, where Du Bois writes "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." Although both quotes focus on a serious and "down" topic, I like the correlation to one another and continuing the serious conversation in the poem regarding identity and sense of self

    1. above all, angered by the aesthetic objec- tification that reduced these black male bodies to abstract visual "things,

      This reminds me of something I learned about in a feminism class as well as an art history, being the male gaze. Both woman and men experience objectification in art which may not be necessary but could it also be considered a style if it is so frequently repeated? Some art just isn't deep.

    1. Mussolini, whose most significant passages we memorized in school.

      This reminds me of the children being distrustful in 1984 who were under the rule of Big Brother. By memorizing passages at a young age they engrave his beliefs.

    2. f reconciliation means compassion and respect for all those who fought their own war ingood faith, to forgive does not mean to forget.

      I think people tend to forget this concept. This reminds me of the idea that those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. We do have to forgive but we should never forget.

    3. We kids hurried to pick up the shells, precious items

      The image of kids putting value and excitement on items commonly used to take lives of others doesn't sit well with me. It reminds me of videos I've seen in the past that involved a person being excited to use a weapon with the goal of "exterminating all ___". (Americans/African Americans)

    4. When my mother sent me out to buy thenewspaper, I saw that the papers at the nearest newsstand had different titles.

      This reminds me of news outlets and media in the United States. Certain news channels and media are bias and lean toward a certain side more. As is CNN is more liberal and leftist, and Fox News is more right wing and conservative. It’s a form of confirmation bias.

    1. o what extent am I defined by my sexual orientation or gender identity? What does and doesn’t it tell you about me?

      This reminds me of when hillary was running

    1. Michelle brings about a great point in how photography has become a book of scenes. We look back and see photographs and remember the times that we had past. We look at experiences we went through and times that have changed for the better. Michelle says, “Pieces of who we are through time. I agree with that I look through pictures and it reminds me of times in my life when I wasn't the person I wanted to be”. I agree that pictures are pieces of us that are expressed through time. As Michelle says that now in this time she does not want to hide herself anymore. That’s what pictures really are you if you think about it. They hide our true selves and she no longer wants to be that person anymore. “They want you to buy into their reality and it can be just be a facade”, Michelle says. I love this quote because people can shame you. They can act like their life might be better based on a photo. A photograph can be a false photograph. People can easily manipulate people into thinking that’s the way they live. Little do people know it can be a fantasy and not a reality. Not saying all pictures are false because I would be lying if this was true. I’m just saying that pictures can be easily a false photograph that may or may not be true. Michelle explains that a photograph explains how something did exist. This is also true because whether it is in the past or not, it is something that did happen and now is part of the past.

    1. The very place puts toys of desperation, Without more motive, into every brain That looks so many fathoms to the sea And hears it roar beneath.

      Here Horatio mentions that the sea is feared by many. This reminds me of the moment in Dracula were Lucy is found on the edge of a cliff by the sea. This seems to be a common theme among different literary works from this time period and even farther back. Is there a history to this supernatural and strange fear of the sea? Why does it have negative connotation?

    1. The word “utopia” means “nowhere”

      "We will remind ourselves and each other what is at stake. We will remember that the only thing we need to know about utopia is that nobody actually lives there." Reminds me of that quote

    1. Human ends and values direct technologicalprocesses, making them an entirely human affair. These human concerns aredesigned into things; our technologies embody our humanity. It is more helpful tothink of technology as a socially constructed reality rather than as the applicationof universally valid scientific principles. That way we can begin to appreciate—and criticize—how the things we make are human creations that, in turn, greatlyaffect human affairs.

      This caught my attention because technology has become a part of our daily lives and to say that "technology embody our humanity" is kinda of true. Also the part of the quote "Think of technology as a socially constructed reality" reminds me of one of the question that we had to answer: Why is it important to study ethics and technology? Because technology has become a platform for us as a community to connect with each other whether it's for business or personal reasons.

    2. Technologicaldevices and systems shape our culture and the environment, alter patterns ofhuman activity, and influence who we are and how we live.

      This sentence made me think of the podcast when Anil Dash talks about how he did not grow up with technology but now his child does, and it reminds me of my own experiences compared to my parents experiences. When my parents were kids there were no cell phones or computers. They did not have social media, and they way they interacted with each other was completely different than how people do now. In todays society people do not get nearly as much face to face interaction. People communicate over social media, text messaging, email, etc. It makes it easier for people to say things they would not feel comfortable saying face to face. It has allowed things like bullying to get much more prevalent. It has also changed the dating world. People often times meet on dating apps and talk online before ever meeting each other in personal rather than going out to a bar and meeting someone which is what my parents did. Online dating also allows for "catfishing" which is saying you are someone different than you really are. When Kaplan says "sometimes they make our lives worse" I agree. There are so many positives and negatives to technology.

    1. The warrant “identity as tension between self and social” supports a cultural formulation of networked online identity. Networks, band-width, interfaces, hardware, and environment mediate social perfor-mances of online identity, but how racial identity affects those social performances is understudied.

      Brock makes a good point here and the beginning of this paragraph reminds me of Tolentino's essay where she discusses online performance and identity.

    1. They can be imagined as vehicles taking usalong the lines of a logic that delineates the boundaries between the normaland the abnormal. But in our view such approaches do not dig deeplyenough into the logical mode of the anomaly since there is always a dangerthat such a representational analysis will continue to treat it as an excludedpartner (Other)who haunts the normalized procedures of the Same.

      I like how spam works outside the maxims of logic the same way that the supernatural works outside the maxims of physical reality. In this way, these objects become subjects that are inserted into the code to disrupt and create space the way that worms eat the material world and leave holes behind. They are there, lying in wait. This space allows for it to expose the limitations in the code, and like most digital RNA, use the code to evolve and change the infrastructure from the inside out.

      It also reminds me of Harlan Ellis' " "Repent Harlequin", Said the Ticktockman".

    2. how various assemblages of bodies (whether technolog-ical, biological, political or representational) are composed in interactionwith each other and how they are defined, not by forms and functions, butby their capabilities or casual capacities. In other words, we are interested inhow one assemblage, a heterogeneous composition of forces, may affectanother.15

      This reminds me of the structuralism that we learn about in lit theory.

    1. The dog, this cherry-red hairless freak with the armored skull and bulging musculature of a pit bull, showed no sign of giving in: it had got my arm and it meant to keep it.

      The descriptive language of this articles correlates with that of Frankenstein. The word choice and writing style work alongside each other to create tone. The tone of this sentence in particular reminds me of how Victor viewed the monster after he was created.

    1. To study or manipulate nucleic acids, the DNA must first be extracted from cells. Various techniques are used to extractdifferent types of DNA (Figure 10.2). Most nucleic acid extraction techniques involve steps to break open the cell, and thenthe use of enzymatic reactions to destroy all undesired macromolecules. Cells are broken open using a detergent solutioncontaining buffering compounds. To prevent degradation and contamination, macromolecules such as proteins and RNAare inactivated using enzymes. The DNA is then brought out of solution using alcohol. The resulting DNA, because it ismade up of long polymers, forms a gelatinous mass.

      I find this so interesting and it reminds me of middle school where we swabbed our tongues and put our dna into a little necklace container. Was alcohol how we did this? I don't remember.

    1. Boar-shapes flashed Above their cheek-guards, the brightly forged Work of goldsmiths, watching over Those stern-faced men.

      They are definitely riding in style. This part reminds me of a Guy Ritchie movie or something.

    1. You develop your reading of the archives through ruptures and dispersion, and must mold questions out of stutters and silences

      Comment: This reminds me of a class I took on the French Revolution. In part of the class we discussed the Haitian Revolution and the lack of documentation we have from them. This comment on silence and stutters reminds me of my professor showing us how historians were able to piece together certain connections between rebelling groups and other aspects of the Haitian Revolution even with an immense lack of documentation.

    2. And he wrote as he spoke; which is to say that he did not really write, so much as he reproduced on paper the sounds that make up speech. Not the sounds of words-that would be too easy-but those that make up sentences or parts of speech. There is no punctuation, of course, but there are definitely spaces, unexpected blanks between two syllables of the same word, or disorganized reconfigurations that stray far from the beaten path of spelling.

      Connection: This reminds me of listening to something in a foreign language. Similarly, we are not able to tell when each word or phrase starts and stops, and the tone is not easily discernible.

    1. This reminds me of a project I had to do for a public speaking course...learning to argue a side that you DON'T agree with. I think that a good debater, and therefore a good writer, must be able to support a point of view that they don't agree with to truly excel at illustrating a point they do agree with.

    1. There was a time when, with few excep- tions, works of art remained generally in the same location for which they were made.

      This reminds me about the topic of globalization.

    1. particularly bourgeois order

      When the author refers to the bourgeois order and society, it reminds me of the discussion we had in class about the Grand Narrative and how it doesn't accommodate everybody.

    1. Conchobar

      He's the king of Ulster. Conchobar means " lover of canines." Reminds me of the scandal with a One Direction star was rumored to name his kid as Conchobar, writen as Conchobar but pronounced as Connor.

    1. it came from a great deal of effort and political involvement

      This reminds me of what we read about in the Indications reading. The education of young children has to be collaborated throughout the community as a whole, not just at a particular school.

    1. helps you create more effective visual messages

      This reminds me of the saying that a picture is worth 1000 words or something like that. it also can resonate with us longer..

    1. the zombie nodes of spam botnets

      This reminds me of the Zombie Manifesto. Not only are the spam bots mindless, but even the humans making the comments are (e.g. trolls). This can be seen in Freud's "Group Psychology and the Analysis of Ego" when he discusses mob mentality.

    1. Independent of the subject studied, students need to be able to articulate thinking about thinking that reflects basic command of the intellectual dimensions of thought:

      In an interview for Think magazine in '92, Richard Paul suggests that thinking is not just thinking that it is thinking for self improvement. It again reminds me of the video Cognitive Dissonance (TED TALK) where it was said that we have to stop looking for information that only supports what we already think or believe to be true. We have to also think about our biasis and where they come from. Teachers need to continue to help their students learn to be good critical thinkers we need to learn to ask each other questions that challenge our normal thought patterns. http://www.criticalthinking.org/pages/critical-thinking-basic-questions-amp-answers/409

    1. at all. Gender is, thus, a construction that regularly conceals its genesis. The tacit collective agreement to perform, produce, and sustain discrete and polar genders as cultural fictions is obscured by the credibility of its own production. The authors of gender become entranced by their own fictions whereby the construction compels one's belief in its necessity and na

      The notion of programmatic gender's retro-prophylactic occlusion of its own origin, or gender as an ourobosed redux of individual and collective performance, reminds me of Paul B. Preciado's text Testo Junkie: Sex, Drugs, and Biopolitics in the Pharmacopornographic Era. In Testo Junkie, Preciado uses the structural and administrative history of birth control to elucidate the Foucauldian notion of an "anatomo-chronological scheme of action" which "combines architecture, design, and body movement, transforming the user into an efficient (non-)reproducing machine" (Preciado 197). Thus, the pharmacological ordinance of medical intervention, particularly regarding microprosthetic calibration of endocrinological and hormonal subjectivities within the body, internalizes the grammar of gendered performance through the orchestration of micro-axiomatic pharmaco-fictions. In other words, these pharmacological programs inscribe micro-subjective gendered performances within the temporal umbra of application guidelines (particularly for medications like birth control or pre-exposure prophylaxis), effectively gendering the body within and across time and manipulating the temporal ontologization of gendered selfhood. In Testo Junkie, Preciado performs renegade hormonal auto-experimentation, applying gel patches of testosterone beyond the radius of a programmatic medical intervention and creating a novel grammar of endocrino-semiotic gendered becoming. However, the criticality of temporal homogeneity for the “success” of various medications (for example, erratic PrEP administration may compromise the drug’s efficacy and create drug resistance) inoculates individuals within a hegemonic “anatomo-chronological scheme of action,” a daily re-inscription of temporal and semiotic regularity that, in the case of hormonal medications, reaffirms the binary physiognomy of a collapsed sex-gender presentation. Preciado poses a critical question: in what way do medical and pharmacological interventions problematize the notion of gendered interiority or Butler’s corporeal style? Is it possible to have a corporeal style of the interior, a shadowed underskin of pharmaco-narrative performance?

    1. If the mind, with greater facility, retains the ideas of geometry clear and determinate, it must carry on a much longer and more intricate chain of reasoning, and compare ideas much wider of each other, in order to reach the abstruser truths of that science. And if moral ideas are apt, without extreme care, to fall into obscurity and confusion, the inferences are always much shorter in these disquisitions, and the intermediate steps, which lead to the conclusion, much fewer than in the sciences which treat of quantity and number.

      This reminds me of Thinking Fast and Slow

    1. Ahypothesisis a suggested explanation for an event, which can be tested.

      This term and definition automatically reminds me of doing lab work and reports in high school in both biology and chemistry. My teachers would stress that the traditional "If...then" statements for your hypothesis was very important.

    1. That's super interesting! If we typically read text in 15-20 letter/word bits, how do images change that calculus if at all?

      Also this reminds me of something our TA in Monastic Theology brought up about how reading online specifically is a devolution of reading technology. Basically, she said that the bound book was an evolution to the scroll and "scrolling" on the internet was reverting back to something many people had found unhelpful. So in addition to Johnson's questions about multi-tasking and other elements of online reading changing the mechanics, I'm also wondering in what ways scrolling v. pagination (that's probably not the right word for what I mean, but having pages and moving between them) changes how we physically and intellectually read. I find this especially interesting since in many ebooks I've used, they've recreated this sense of "pages" with having to "flip" the page rather than scroll.

    1. If you type this: ABCombining Special EffectsAB. To combine special effects, simply insert one control character after another. For example, your ABWordstarABAVTMAV cursor may look like this: HAHIAHNAHZ. IABaABI = l(aAVxAVAT2AT + aAVyAVAT2AT + aAVzAVAT2AT) You (might) get this: Combining Special Effects. To combine special effects, simply insert one control character after another. For example, your Wordstar™ cursor may look like this: •.

      reminds me of forum code.

    1. philosophical life in which the critique of what we are is at one and the same time the historical analysis of the limits imposed on us and an experiment with the possibility of going beyond them [ de leur franchissement possible]

      While Foucault suggests that we are shaped by the limits that our social-political context impose on us, he remains optimistic about the possibility of transcending them by experimenting within them. This reminds me of the interplay of habitus and improvisation in Pierre Bourdieu's thought, where habitus is the set of rules inscribed in a person by their social location, and improvisation is the use of those rules in a way that at once obeys and restructures them.

    1. Electricians usually try to lay out the switches in the same order as the lights they control, but the mismatch in the spatial arrangement of the lights. and the switches makes it difficult, if not impossible, to produce a full natural mapping. Electricians have to use standard com-ponents, and the designers and manufacturers of those standard com-ponents worried only about fitting the proper number of switches into them safely. Nobody thought about how the lights were to be arranged or how the switches ought to be laid out

      Things are more complex when doing implementation than design. Standard components are not only for the good of manufacturing but also for easy installation so that the components are suitable for most situations, affordable and electricians require minimum training. Engineers care more about how to make things functional while designers are more familiar with users and care more about how to make things useable and useful. This is why they need to cooperate. This reminds me that I was required to use some sophisticated softwares, usually a simulator when studying electronics. Almost none of these software well designed. I think it's because engineers who developed such software care much less about its appearance and interaction than the performance of speed and accuracy. Also, such software often involves hundreds of different variations, components, and controls that needed to be arranged properly, which make the design itself to be extremely tough. At the same time, if you turn to professional designers for help, they often lack the robust background knowledge to produce a good product for engineers. Currently, our solution to this dilemma is "get used to it", but I believe engineers can potentially be more efficient in working with some better designed digital tools.

    1. You and Hap and I, and I’ll show you all thetowns. America is full of beautiful towns and fine, upstand-ing people. And they know me, boys, they know me upand down New England. The finest people. And when Ibring you fellas up, there’ll be open sesame for all of us,’cause one thing, boys: I have friends. I can park my car inany street in New England, and the cops protect it like theirown. This summer, heh?

      It really does look like Willy had some high aspirations for his sons. This paragraph in particular really reminds me of my own dad and how he talks about travel.

    1. There can be no gainsaying the fact that racial injustice engulfs this community. Birmingham is probably the most thoroughly segregated city in the United States.

      From this statement it reminds me of a book I read in middle school called, “How racism takes place” which tells a story about African Americans and how they could be a large beneficial factor if we accepted them in our community for what ever color they were. Many of these countries that try to let slavery continue are only hurting themselves.

    1. maybe the three friends need to consider whether there is a certain type of food or movie one of them dislikes or maybe the three friends need to consider a different activity.

      this kind of reminds me of like majority rule.

    1. experience the unit unfolding together

      I love the collaboration here! It serves as motivation for students and adds purpose to the research. Students are exploring their interests while engaging in authentic literacy experiences.

      This structure reminds me of For a Better World by Bomer and Bomer.

    2. body positivity, self-care, and inclusion. The zine had a 1970s punk aesthetic and was completely anonymous. Students decided to sign their contributions with monikers; their anonymity was intended to make the zine more edgy and provoke

      This reminds me of the pamphlet writing from the Hamilton-Jefferson era in which they engaged in edgy writing to provoke public discourse under Greek pseudonyms conveying characteristics of the writers. Recently read (listened to <3 Audible) Ron Chernow's Alexander Hamilton bio in which the pamphlet writing reminded me of our current Twitter political exchanges. This is an authentic engagement!

    3. At the end of the year, the students decided to create public service announcements that matched the aesthetic of PSAs produced by the hacktivist group Anonymous.

      This also reminds me of Facing History in which the teaching model is circular and always starts and ends in introspection and action

    1. This was always the first and most basic problem with the GNP per capita paradigm of development. It neglects distribution, and can give high marks to nations or states that contain alarming inequalities.

      This reminds me of JFK's "Peace Speech" when he talks about how the US is known as a global success for its economic power, but the country's expertise in production includes the manufacturing of the weapons that are used to take hundreds of thousands of human lives in war.

    1. The capability of banking education to minimize or annul the student's creative power and to stimulate their credulity serves the interests of the oppressors, who care neither to have the world revealed nor to see it transformed

      I believe this is the strongest statement that Freire makes in this chapter. Those educators who use the "banking education" method seek to keep the students creative power down by continuously pushing their power on the student. Those educators that use their sense of "humanitarianism" is only for self-gain.

      In some ways, this reminds me, historically, of the development of the Gutenberg printing press. Previous to the printing press, only religious icons allowed to read and write. Once the Gutenberg press was created, the regular person was able to learn and develop ideas for themselves, triggering the golden age of thought.

    1. it’s much more positive, engaging, delightful, and stimulating” to directly manipulate something instead of clicking and waiting for a response

      This reminds me of Avdi's talk on transactions.

    1. There was always more to hear

      I remember hearing my mother and father always say "Ahh, this song reminds me of college." And I never really understood that because there was never a song that reminded me of a specific time in my school until I got to college and was exposed to numerous different genres and styles of music. Now, I keep a notebook with lessons I have learned while being at K but I also keep a log of what song I found that epitomizes that quarter at K.

    1. Kate Eichhorn, an Associate Professor of Culture and Media at The New School suggests that people are now forming their identities online from an early age, and in the process are creating a permanent record that’s impossible to delete.

      This reminds me of a post from Katia Hildebrandt and Alec Couros from a few years ago in which they suggest that in a world where there is digital record for everything somewhere then we need to learn to consider intent, context, and circumstance when considering different artefacts that may be dredged up.

  7. Dec 2019
    1. We emphasize that analysis is applicable both to large projects and to a single simple task. Just as test-driven development is worthwhile even for simple changes, so analyis will pay dividends even for small script or a minor change to a website.

      Reminds me of README-Driven Development, associated to Test-Driven Development.

    1. I let Zapier do it automatically. My Zap looks for any Slack message that contains the text new partner marketing content request and instantly sends it over to my to do list.

      Reminds me of IRC scripts from decades ago. People are just now catching up...

    1. And it gets worse: Microsoft bought Wunderlist in 2015, and plans on eventually shutting it down in favor of Microsoft To-Do, a new-ish app that as of this writing isn’t even available for Mac. That’s a lot of nonsense to deal with, and we haven’t even gotten into the subscription upselling most to-do apps on the market try to pull for what is basically a text document. Which is why I advocate ditching them all and using a text document. Not only is using a text document simple and flexible, but you future proof yourself against that inevitable day when your favorite to-do app gets shut down.

      Reminds me of when [Yahoo?] shut down server for Astrid task manager, telling everyone they needed to migrate their data elsewhere.

      One of the most pivotal service discontinuences I've experienced, making me very hesitant to trust any non-libre/non-open-source software ever again.

    1. This is probably my dozenth attempt at a “what would it look like to track some notes over the week and schedule it to publish on Friday” post. We’ll see if it works. I even put little separators in between the notes.

      This is an interesting format. Reminds me a bit of the way Dave Winer blogs, though he posts his notes contemporaneously. It's also not too dissimilar to how Colin Walker posts where his website shows the last day on the front page with a list of all his posts (or the last three, if there's nothing posted yet for today).

    1. mar-ginalizes teachers of color. The canon is not merely a collection of texts. Rather, the canon represents a cul-tural construction of knowledge centered in White-ness that institutions deem superior and essential.

      This reminds me of DuBois' double consciosness theory. POC are expected to be well versed in their own culture but also dominant culture, but white people are never expected to have a knowledge of POCs various cultural equivalents.

    1. s: Must women of color renounce feminism in order for racism to be dealt with effectively by white women? This question reminds us of the fragility of feminist sisterhood and the per- vasiveness of racism in the United Stat

      The fragility of coalition movements in general if you ask me. Different groups have different issues they want to address first.

    1. The "third" world is not and cannot be represented in its own terms, for in "first" world imperializing knowledge there are no such things: its mode of representation is a "first" world product which reproduces the "first" world in all that it represents.

      This reminds me of how imperialism in the past was justified. If a country and their people were taken over, the justification was that they were "doing the right thing" or "helping them out". In reality, it was purely expansion of their own country and showing superiority to others.

    1. The merchants that enter the land of the negroes of Gineva [Ghana] pass through this place; this pass is called Valley of Darcha.

      This statement reminds me of the Africans being starting trade with minerals. Specifically the Ethiopian people were seen as the hierarchy of trade in Africa. Mostly, due to the abundance of gold they acquired.

      AfricanTrade

    1. For if it has none of these actually; but has all of them potentially;

      This seems like he is saying that there is a theoritical being and an actual being which reminds me of his ideas about knowledge and the Mary's room thought experiment. Where Mary had theritical knowledge when she studied color and then actual knowledge when she saw it.l

    1. lounged hungry and lonesome through Houston

      A lot of the imagery presented in this poem reminds me of the landscape Eliot constructs in The Wasteland, a bleak and barren space where souls are somewhat unfulfilled.

    2. dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night, who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz,

      this reminds me of the landscape also talked about in the Wasteland. It's describing the same sort of suffering and desperation.

    3. a lost batallion of platonic conversationalists jumping down the stoops off fire escapes off windowsills off Empire State out of the moon yacketayakking screaming vomiting whispering facts and memories and anecdotes and eyeball kicks and shocks of hospitals and jails and wars, whole intellects disgorged in total recall for seven days and nights with brilliant eyes

      This reminds me of the Portland bar scene circa 5 years years ago. Tons of people talking about the issues of the country, humanity, etc. at length and with no real action plan. People so upset with the state of the nation but getting so caught up in talking about it that nothing gets done. The whole scene is so vivid, I feel like I've seen it a million times.

    1. a model of concentration.
      • Buddha achieved enlightenment through meditation, the fact that the Collins is stating that he is a model of concentration is again referring not only to the historical aspect but also for the actual sculpture and iconographies or statues you see of him where he is in a meditative state - demonstrating concentration.

      Allusion to Previous Poets: This line reminds me of Shelley's Ozymandius

      How do you prepare for the unknown... It also reminds me of people who prepare for their will and ultamate wishes
