my HOH brother recently gave me a name sign, and i just keep thinking about what a cool concept they are. like. in ASL your name is so much more personal, so much more specific to you than in most spoken languages. it's not something you choose, it's given to you, based on something the Deaf person associates with you. i wonder why that came about. i wonder why names are so much less meaningful in english.

I was just, very randomly, hit with a memory from my first week of English class. The absolutely unhinged concept of making your students pick names in the foreign language you teach.

That's a weird practice to me, period. I do not wish to play pretend with you. I do not wish to change my name for you.

But to do that to a room of 33 bright-eyed fifth graders during their first week of high school?

I knew three (3) of these kids from elementary school and one (1) from kindergarten. All others were total strangers to me.

I don't know these kids' real names yet and you want me to remember a second, additional name for each of them?

They really looked at fifth graders and asked "How do we make meeting 30+ new kids and learning their names as hard as possible?" and they came up with an answer for it, huh.

Why would you make me, a person who struggles with faces and names, suffer like that.

read a very poetic post asking why doesn't christian imagery focus on the inherent horror of giving birth in a barn and virgin mary's hands coming away sticky with blood etc and i am focusing all my powers to not be pedantic directly at this person because i learnt about this in art history!!!!!!! i may be raised atheist in a mostly atheist culture, but it turns out western art history consists of 75% weird facts about medieval christianity. i even remember some of them!!!!

from what i can remember literally every single detail of any event in christian canon has been up for thorough debates, especially stuff like "how DID jesus get conceived?" "how DID mary give birth??" and usually there was some person receiving a vision from god who goes to tell the pope about it and becomes a saint as thanks. jesus got conceived like light shining through a window. he was born by simply appearing when mary raised her arms. thus mary remains a virgin three times over (she was a virgin before, during, and after the birth). what does this have to do with art history?? The Symbolisms. there's paintings of a single ray of light shining through a window and onto mary. baby jesus is always perfectly clean despite having just been born in a barn. holy mary wears her blue robes with three star pins, symbolizing her triple virginity. at least that was the symbolism for this particular strain of christianity at a particular time, i'm sure the agreement on what happened changed or split over time and place - it's not like there's a zillion different types of christianities out there with different takes hahaha

When I was in the final year of primary school, we, (ages 10-11) due to some government initiative (reading hour? I can’t remember), were given several paragraphs from the beginning of Bleak House to read. I hated it. It was fog. It was just foggy everywhere. Fog here, fog there, fog up your ass. I was 10. I was a very proficient reader. But Jesus Christ several paragraphs about fog without any discussion or context made me hate Dickens. ‘It shows you how oppressive the fog is!’ It sure did. It was indeed very oppressive to read. Why would I want to? There was no plot, no characters were introduced. It was just fog.

I absolutely fucking refused to read any Dickens again until I was in my final undergrad year (then I read A Tale of Two Cities, and the Mystery Of Edwin Drood). Anyway, having gone back and read it now I still have 100% sympathy with 10 year old me for finding it boring af. Like. They gave us the ‘set the atmosphere’ paragraph but without the actual payoff of what it was being set for (though I’m certain we wouldn’t have been able to follow what the fuck was being described in the court case).
