You know that person with a basic, regular-ass life is like “yo, my life could be a TV show”? Sometimes that feels like the guiding ethos of #insecureHBO.

“On this episode, Issa and Molly are bored and unsatisfied with their jobs. And...that’s basically it.”
Watching this on delay but Lyft dude clearly got warrants, right?
Like, he got warrants, bodies, or both. You see how he fucked up that big dude in the back of the Lyft? Wasn’t his first brawl in an enclosed space.

An old thread from @ashoncrawley that i wish i woulda read before.
I said i shoulda linked to this before bc it basically predicts the response i got to that admittedly spicy tweet — that i am talking trash bc i am not an educator or, as @ashoncrawley says, “some other individuated problem” that makes me just a hater or whatever.
But that WaPo essay in that link above is *much* more provocative and pointed than anything in my take, which was again about media credulousness and the starting assumptions about Black children and schools. And it’s written by an educator to boot.

You should read it.

...ain’t you TFA tho?
This convo we’re this am is abt the problematic positioning of education-as-silver-bullet, that sufficiently rigorous/no-excuses schools can offset systemic racism. The most vocal champions of that have been Teach For America and its alums, right? How does one square that circle?
There's a whole economy built around "whatever-it-takes" approaches to educating Black kids, and while the schools wildly differ in practice they often fall back on the same rhetoric and the same kind of too-credulous press to bat away real concerns abt how they treat students.

Co-signing @whstancil’s points...but this school also allegedly abused these kids, roughing them and making them kneel for hours “to teach them submission.”
it’s another example of how often the models at schools like this and “zero-tolerance” charters for Black kids really just look like formalized contempt.

People will countenance that abuse — actually praise it and call it *necessary* — if its targets are poor Black kids.
Also, those “Black kids got into elite colleges!” viral videos and news stories have always been icky for this and other reasons

They are far too credulous, whether we’re talking about this school or Urban Prep in Chicago or wherever else

Sometimes I think that PTSD is just what happens when we are shown the truth about how feral life is, and we struggle to withstand it.

I wonder how pathologizing that legitimate suffering shapes the experience of that suffering.
1) I sometimes find it offensive that people who are snugly living in illusion rush to diagnosis it.

2) I find the temporality of it - the notion of before and after “post” strange. Sometimes there is no “post” because it is ever unfolding. (Ie: living with cancer)
3) Also the (popular) notion that it should be treated and then “go back” to “normal” (most who have experienced this know that your view of the world changes forever.

4) one of the hardest aspects of it is alienation from a world deeply committed to denial of violence & death

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

I really need to discuss yesterday’s episode of #InsecureHBO. If you haven’t seen it, you might want to ignore this thread. So...I know y’all are all about your relationship hives but there were KEY social issues being addressed.
She’s addressing the issue of financial instability at 30, the inequity of community services, white saviorism, monogamy vs all other relationship structures, and a lot more.

But let’s zoom in on the equity + saviorism.
I can count on my fingers, toes, and someone else’s how many times I’ve been in a conference room where someone was defending something completely racist or inequitable—in education. Like, deaf ears.

Oh, it's soon time to log off, so here is my final blurb for the week.

They're some thoughts I find important, and I hope they reach you.
Be kind.

Listen and learn. We all have something to say, but we must also listen to relay our message efficiently. Being an asshole or "serving" someone in a discussion doesn't gain you anything.
Check on that friend you haven't talked to in a while. Where are they now, what are they up to?

Does someone close to you sound or look sad, tired, void of emotion? Ask how they're doing, and listen. Sometimes it only takes one person to help.

Just saw an old clip of George W Bush talking to Barney (his Scottish terrier) in the Oval Office, and it reminded me of one of the things I find most disturbing about the current POTUS and the impact of this presidency on the American people /1
One of the aspects Americans claim to hate most about politicians is that they aren't "authentic" -- they seem like constructs, careful assembled and curated over time to win votes and elections, but detached from the reality of regular people/families, and not "real" /2
And it was one of the aspects I liked least about Obama as president: I felt he was so focused on the significance of his legacy and the symbol of his achievement that he missed opportunities to achieve some of what he could have... /3

Bored at work today
1.) Kirin Ranger's Daisuke Tsuchiya was originally cast as Ryuu Ranger, but was changed after doing some test shooting
2.) Most of the Showa Sentai actors fell out of touch with each over the years and mostly connected again through Facebook
