What is the antidote? How do we cultivate caring and community? I wish I was teaching this term because I usually find the classroom to be a place for that.

The assumption that people who have no relationship to an experience are unbiased and those who do have a relationship are biased is a stupid prejudice. Often direct experience dispels established assumptions about rape, prison, etc..... Wrote about that a few years ago.

#ArtHistory 🗃️ During my walk in a tree-lined neighborhood in central Lisbon, I found a "museum" dedicated to Banksy reproductions. This bit of graffiti feels particularly relevant at this moment. I’m pretty sure it first appeared in Paris, probably around 2018. If you know more, I’d love to hear!

Re Zuckerberg’s new look: “This isn’t taking risks with fashion, like Rick Owens or Vivienne Westwood. It’s just ugly and stupid.” Not sure I agree with the term “postmodern conservatism,” but there is a lot of ugly and stupid in contemporary right wing visual culture.

Glad to see I’m not the only one who uses pets to connect with students and create an engaging class environment. It is amazing how pets unite us!

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Thoroughly enjoying @cjdenial.bsky.social ‘s fabulous book A Pedagogy of Kindness for @brocku.ca Centre for Pedagogical Innovation’s reading group. The chapter on kindness for the self is helpful as I return to work & figure out how to navigate teaching as a disabled person. #pedagogy #disability

This week’s reading. So far it’s pretty interesting. Frankie is curious, so that’s a good sign.

“In its active form, hope is a supreme gesture of love, a radical and audacious duty, whereas despair is a stagnant rejection of life itself. Hope becomes the energy of change.” - Nick Cave, Red Hand Files, #308, January, 2025.
