Text: Don’t act like everyone loved my father. He was assassinated. A 1967 poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in America. Most hated. Many who quote him now and evoke him to deter justice today would likely hate, and may already hate, the authentic King.

I’M GNAWING ON THE BARS OF MY CAGE SHORESY IS SO HOT
One of my professors told us that as a teacher, you WILL cause harm at some point in your career. You will say something hurtful to a student or grade unfairly or make a harmful assumption. You learn about these things and try to avoid them, but if you teach long enough you will do something that’s harmful to a student. It’s a numbers game. It’s inevitable.
And that’s why it’s important that you learn how to react in a healthy and productive way! The example she gave was from her own teaching — she had an assignment where students made a presentation with photos that showed their relationship with math over their life (I studied math education). A trans student reached out and told her that they were uncomfortable using pretransition photos. In response, she changed the assignment! By the time I was in her class, it was “make a presentation with photos and/or memes” — a small change but definitely more inclusive!
I think this illustrates why it’s important to say something when you experience microaggressions. I, a trans person taking this class, had a more positive experience because a different trans person spoke up a couple years before.
But also, I think that harm is inevitable outside of teaching too. I think that if you have friends or family or interact with people regularly, you WILL hurt someone eventually. And you have to be comfortable with that possibility in order to respond in a healthy way.

art history will be like "this is the most revolutionary painting of its time!" and you will look at it and is just a normal painting of a lady sitting under a tree and then an art historian will explain "this is the first time a painting ever used this specific shade of blue which challenged all understood conventions of how to depict light and launched a movement known as auzureism, and also the lady is looking at a sparrow which in its time it was a sign of fierce sexual liberation and it was considered scandalous" and then you find out the painter was expelled from the academy of art of stockholm because of the painting and that the king of sweeden paid three thousand marcs (equivallent to ten million dollars now a days) to have the painting in his room and the painting still looks like a generic painting of a lady under a tree
You know technology literacy is dying because I saw this meme with 76k likes
F11 the full screen button? You’re scared of the full screen button? F10?? It opens the menu bar???
Computers are so scary what if I accidentally hit F12 in a steam game and it takes a screenshot. What if I press shift + F12 while in word and accidentally save my document 😖
If you had to learn what the F keys on your computer do through me reblogging this post, then I'm glad you did. Computer literacy is not a skill that gets taught anymore, and it is absolutely one that needs to be taught in order to be learned. Don't ever feel bad for not knowing something, but ☝️ don't ever stop learning learning about your environment, the tools you use, and especially the people around you
Never stop learning+ Never stop sharing what you learned
