With an S/O who is Sam's "parent"

I know y'all don't care abt Sam, like, at all. But I adore him and he's. My son.

Brahms

Brahms doesn’t realize that Sam is odd until after he gives the doll to Sam. Like, sure the kid wears the same costume year round-- well, you of course have more than one set of clothes for him, but they’re mostly for when he gets his footie PJs absolutely filthy-- and Brahms has never seen Sam with his mask off or those bandages on his arms, but... Why wouldn’t your kid be... normal? For all intents and purposes, you are a normal person.

You don’t seem too worried when Sam just... walks into the kitchen with a new doll. You just pause for a couple of seconds and arch your shoulders before saying “Made a new friend, huh?” and relaxing again. He nods and sets the doll down at the table beside him, then begins to sneak his food under his mask as you talk to him while eating your own across from him.

Usually Sam is excited to leave the house with you, but after Sam gets the doll, he begins staying home when you go out. And eventually, Brahms comes out to see the kid who has his doll. And like. Sam is four foot somethin’. This boy is too small to be friends with Brahms. Like, it kind of freaks Brahms out because this is an actual child and not a man acting like a child. He just suddenly is like “Oh, yeah, I’m an adult.”

Sam starts knocking on the walls when you’re home so you kind of realize that’s where Sam’s friend lives. Like, not for a moment were you like “Oh, the doll is his friend!” No, it’s Sam, after all. You’re just hoping Sam won’t let his friend kill you.

One day Brahms is just. At the kitchen table with Sam. You’re used to this kind of thing from your adoptive kid, so... A big, silent, kinda gross adut man at the kitchen table isn’t that weird. It does kind of freak you out when you hear Brahms talk, cuz. Sam doesn’t talk unless he’s screaming, so hearing a child’s voice is extremely odd.

Basically, Sam matchmakes you and Brahms, because Brahms is Sam’s dad now, apparently. But Sam is also pretty protective of you: you’ve not let him down so far and that’s pretty rare. So for the first time in your long relationship with Sam, he acts like a normal, adjusted child almost all the time. Like, he’s gonna sit on your lap and ask to be carried and cuddle up with you and things like that. It’s kind of a warning to Brahms, in a way.

And this is because Brahms is a creep and spends a majority of his time literally breathing down your neck as you do housework. And usually Sam’s friends who do this stuff leave pretty easily and don’t go out of their way to do it and they don’t start ignoring Sam??? How fucking rude???

Billy & Stu (Ghostface)

He likes when they come over. Like I’ve said, he likes it if you have friends and he also likes being able to do whatever he wants while you’re occupied with your friends.

BUT as soon as he finds out you three are dating??? He’s pissed. He’s angry. He’s going to RUN AWAY.

Sam has forgotten that he disappears for days at a time no matter what. That is, until he’s at a recent murder scene where there’s some candy in the cupboard. And sure enough, there’s Ghostface. Oh, two Ghostfaces. Cool. They seem familiar... He’s going home, he’s had fun for a while. He wants to go home and have you make him cookies. He’s mainly forgotten that he’s angry at you.

Several days later the guys stop by and Sam recognizes their boots, like, immediately. And he just points at them, back and forth. You have to go over to talk to him and he pulls you in and whispers in your ear.

Literally you just sigh and look over at the guys while Sam clings to you-- not because he’s afraid they’ll hurt him, but because he knows he can kick their asses. Like... You’re so tired. You thought you had a normal relationship for the first time in a long time and, for once, it had nothing to do with Sam in any way.

Jason

Sam is drawn to places with killers. He just is. And the fact that Sam often needs to be moving around to avoid suspicion means that you’re usually accompanying him. This means that abandoned, but still livable homes are your guys’ bread and butter.

And pretty much every cabin within twelve acres of Camp Blood is abandoned, a little under half of which still have power and water running.

Jason meets Sam first. Little guy is drawn to violence and Jason provides that in droves. Sam probably offers Jason some candy or something.

Either way, Jason will inevitably follow Sam home and see you there. You’re probably gonna freak out after you realize that this must be the guy who kills everyone who comes into the woods, but Sam’ll rush to you and hug your legs and ask to be picked up: it’s how he’s going to show that you’re his parent, basically. And Jason certainly sees himself and his mother reflected by you two: I mean, the normal parent and the little boy with a sack over his head? It’s almost too on the nose.

He starts to avoid your house out of respect and keeps folks away. But eventually, Sam will drag him over to have a play date. And before you know it, you’re stumbling into a relationship with that big lovable lug. And Sam doesn’t seem to mind, in all honesty.

Herbert

What in the fuck is that? A child? Ew.

Sam does not get along with Herbert. Like, I think Sam is the type of kid who hisses and bites and grumbles loudly. So you’ll see Sam babble angrily at Herbert, who doesn’t understand what Sam is saying, but does understand the intent. And Herbert doesn’t care for that shit at all.

Like, he’s the type who has a kid make a face at him and he makes it back, but not in a “having fun” way: in a “hey, fuck you too” way.

Sam probably eats reagent at one point and you’re just like. “It’s fine.” and Herb is getting ready to do an at-home stomach pumping like “It’s not fine: he’s going to die.” and you just continuously are like “It’s fine. Sam can’t die.” By the time Herbert gets everything set up, even at your insistence, he realizes Sam should’ve died ten minutes ago if he were a normal human child. “Pff, Sam isn’t human, dude. It’s fine.” And Sam is just sitting on your lap, completely calm and trying his best to braid your hair. (Even if you have a buzzcut: kids, amirite?)

Herbert likely accidentally bonds with Sam over Herb’s... Disembodied creatures, basically? Before you know it, Herb is taking Sam to the grocery store to buy candy or taking him to the movies to see something R rated.

Sam has a habit of fucking with Herbert’s corpses. Not in a bad way-- most of them are violent from the get-go, so it’s not like Sam has to add an abnormal brain into the mix. But sometimes Herbert finds fingers missing and five feet away Sam is spitting out fingernails like they’re watermelon seeds.

Dan Cain

He’s just gonna assume you’re a normal single parent. Like, yeah, it’s weird that your kid wears a burlap sack all the time and likes to draw dead stuff, but... Well, plenty of kids are morbid at a young age. So whatever, right?

It’s genuinely not a big deal. He is, like, very much trying to be Sam’s new dad. Like, he’s ready to take Sam to Disneyland. He’s talking to you like “Shouldn’t Sam have some more friends?” and you’re like “Sam has plenty of friends.”

Dan is already at “I’m worried about our child’s development.” stage before he sees Sam’s face. Like, he’s six-ish (or something) and Dan has never heard him speak? That can’t be good, right?

So. It’s the exact opposite of with the Ghostface boys when Sam shows his face to Dan. Dan is the one who is like “I thought I finally had a normal partner. And this had nothing to do with Herbert.”

Public Health Students Graduate and Enter the Workforce During Unprecedented Times

The first graduating class of the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science listened, on June 12, 2020, to the school’s founding dean and the university’s first Black, female dean Cheryl Anderson, PhD, MPH, during a commencement ceremony conducted by video conference.

“This is such an important time to be going into public health,” said Anderson. “Our students are beginning at a time when we have a public health crisis, a social crisis and an economic crisis, all at the same time. Now, our students get to see all the things that they’ve trained for coming alive right here in their community.”

At commencement, the school’s vision of prevention, equity and optimal health for all citizens reverberated in messaging to the inaugural class of 180 graduates, who enter a world wracked by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and global civil unrest spurred by efforts to address systemic racism.  

“The public health community knows all too well that there is a deep and long-standing public health crisis of racism,” said Anderson. “We see it not only in the disproportionate impact of police brutality upon Black American citizens and other historically marginalized groups, but also in disparities regarding chronic diseases, the impact and treatment of COVID-19, nutrition and healthy lifestyle behaviors, exposure to pollution, maternal and child health, and other contemporary public health issues.”

Anderson impressed upon the students to use this time as an opportunity to become advocates for change, voices for those without and to create demand for a strong public health infrastructure. Here are three students’ stories.

Personal Experience Propels Compassionate Care

During her first year of college, Aina Guatno’s mother passed away after coping with diabetic complications for several years. The moment impacted Guatno’s perspective on academics and cemented her decision to focus solely on her major in public health. Her time at UC San Diego provided Guatno with the opportunity to reflect on how her own family experienced obstacles to receiving adequate health care, and inspired her to make a difference.

“I grew up in a low-income community, so there were a lot of challenges to gain access to financial services and barriers to basic health care, but my parents always found a way to care for us,” said Guatno. “Through this personal experience, my passion for public health grew stronger.”

According to Guatno, her Introduction to Public Health course opened her eyes to the field’s possibilities, from working with the county to effect policy changes and educational programs to interacting with hospitals and patients to ensure appropriate health care.

“Public health is the best first step toward making a positive change in providing equitable health care access,” said Guatno. “Many people are not treated fairly when it comes to health care, and my goal is to work in those communities, like the one where I was raised, to help address such inequities.”

Driving Systemic Change

For Nathaniel “Zall” Badii, graduating during such uncertain times sparked a vision of creating systemic change within the health care industry as a whole; focusing on laws pertaining to access, quality and cost. 

“We don’t have equity in health care, and it’s particularly tragic because it truly is life or death,” said Badii. “Public health is unique because it sits at the intersection of politics, medical science and defense. I’m really excited to enter the field during this time and hope to bring about a transformational change.”

Badii’s plans to gain both Masters in Public Health and Juris Doctor degrees. Growing up in a multi-ethnic home in San Diego, he relies upon his Iranian and Mexican heritage to provide care for others and uses that as a driving force for his career goals.

“I’ve personally seen how a person’s race directly affects their health outcomes and believe that medical science hasn’t gotten us there on its own. This work must be guided by a strong sense of justice in order to properly safeguard the health of our communities.”

Utilizing Health Care as a Public Service

Focusing on prevention and legislation as a tool to help people avoid hospitalization is what led Jose Gonzalez to public health as a career.

“I want to do something that is going to help others, and public health is the outlet that will,” he said.

Propelling his decision to go into the legislative side of public health was Gonzalez’s experience with the University of California Washington Program (UCDC), which provides UC students with an opportunity to intern in the nation’s capital while continuing their academic course work. Last year, Gonzalez was the UC San Diego student representative and a general legislative intern for Senator Kamala Harris. Gonzalez said he was exposed to many different facets of public health and discovered how legislation can affect thousands, perhaps millions, of people in need.

“It’s a very scary time and there’s so much uncertainty globally, but we have to remain positive,” said Gonzalez. “A positive perspective helps me know that we can be the change we want to see in this world, and times like what we’re facing provide us with an opportunity to start making changes for the betterment of all.”

Once Reluctant to Speak Out, an Energized Obama Now Calls Out His Successor

Former President Barack Obama has leveled many attacks on President Trump heading into the 2018 midterm elections. These sharp rebukes, though, are a departure from how past leaders used their post-presidential campaign stops. Published on Nov. 1, 2018, Credit Scott McIntyre for The New York Times

By Peter Baker Nov. 2, 2018

MIAMI — Former President Barack Obama’s voice has a way of lifting into a high-pitched tone of astonishment when he talks about his successor, almost as if he still cannot believe that the Executive Mansion he occupied for eight years is now the home of President Trump.

For most of the last two years, he stewed about it in private, only occasionally speaking out. But as he hit the campaign trail this fall, Mr. Obama has vented his exasperation loud and often, assailing his successor in a sharper, more systematic way arguably than any former president has done in three-quarters of a century.

Although some admirers believe he remains too restrained in an era of Trumpian bombast, Mr. Obama has excoriated the incumbent for “lying” and “fear-mongering” and pulling “a political stunt” by sending troops to the border. As he opened a final weekend of campaigning before Tuesday’s midterm elections, Mr. Obama has re-emerged as the Democrats’ most prominent face, pitting president versus president over the future of the country.

In a fiery speech in Miami on Friday afternoon before heading to Georgia for another rally, Mr. Obama said that even conservatives should be disturbed by Mr. Trump’s disregard for the Constitution and basic decency. “I know there are sincere conservatives who are compassionate and must think there is nothing compassionate about ripping immigrant children from the arms of their mothers at the border,” he said.

“I am assuming that they recognize that a president doesn’t get to decide on his own who’s an American citizen and who’s not,” he continued, referring to Mr. Trump’s vow to sign an executive order canceling birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants. “That’s not how the Constitution of the United States works. That’s not how the Bill of Rights works. That’s not how our democracy works.”

“I’m assuming people must get upset,” he went on, “when they see folks who spend all their time vilifying others, questioning their patriotism, calling them enemies of the people and then suddenly pretending they’re concerned about civility.”

The current president fired back later in the afternoon. Mr. Trump, who has made more than 6,400 false or misleading statements since taking office, according to a count by The Washington Post, said his predecessor had lied by telling Americans they could keep their doctor under his health care plan, which ultimately turned out not to be the case.

“Twenty-eight times he said you can keep your doctor if you like your doctor,” he told a small crowd at a West Virginia airport hangar. “They were all lies. Used it to pass a terrible health care plan we are decimating strike by strike.”

He also criticized Mr. Obama’s trade policies and treatment of the news media. “Lie after lie,” Mr. Trump said. “Broken promise after broken promise. Unlike President Obama, we live under a different mantra. It’s called promises made, promises kept.”

Since leaving office, Mr. Obama has risen in the esteem of many Americans, as former presidents often do. A poll by CNN this year found that 66 percent had a favorable view of him, far more than those who approve of Mr. Trump’s performance in office.

When he left the White House in January 2017, Mr. Obama said he intended to follow the tradition of his predecessors by staying out of the spotlight unless he perceived what he considered broader threats to American values. Advisers said Mr. Trump’s performance in office has qualified, justifying his decision to abandon restraint this fall.

“He cares very deeply,” said Valerie Jarrett, his longtime friend, and adviser. “His language has been very direct and he’s made an appeal to citizens across our country that now’s the time to stand up for our core ideals.”

He has issued 350 endorsements that candidates then trumpeted on social media and he has helped raise millions of dollars for Democrats. A video op-ed he taped generated 17 million views and a voter registration video drove nearly 700,000 viewers to Vote.org, according to his team. He is taping dozens of recorded telephone messages that will be sent out this weekend.

Mr. Obama’s red-meat speech on Friday delighted the crowd at the Ice Palace Film Studios in Miami. But if he has become the Democrats’ “forever president,” as Andrew Gillum, the party’s candidate for governor of Florida, called him, there are trade-offs for an opposition party trying to groom a new generation of leaders as the start of the 2020 presidential election approaches.

“President Obama wants to make room for the next generation of Democratic leaders to step up, which is why he’s largely stayed out of the day-to-day fray over the past two years,” said Eric Schultz, a senior adviser to the former president. “But too much is at stake in these midterms and this moment is too consequential to sit out.”

To Republicans, Mr. Obama’s decision to directly take on his successor smacks of violating norms just as he accuses Mr. Trump of doing.

“I was taken aback by the amount of space in President Obama’s speeches that are devoted to a full frontal assault on Donald J. Trump and his administration,” said Karl Rove, the political strategist for former President George W. Bush. “He spends a considerable amount of his time to get up there and trash Trump.”

Ron Kaufman, who was White House political director for the first President George Bush, said Mr. Obama’s language had been strikingly harsh from one president about another. “If you go back and dig up some of the pretty nasty things President Obama has said, I think you would be a bit surprised,” he said. “He gets away with it because of his style.”

Not since Theodore Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover has a president hit the campaign trail after leaving office to actively take on his successor in quite the way Mr. Obama has. Roosevelt actually mounted a comeback against his handpicked replacement, William Howard Taft, while Hoover castigated Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal program as “despotism” at the Republican convention in 1936.

Other former presidents have been critical of their successors, too. Jimmy Carter became a vocal opponent of George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq, calling his administration the “worst in history.” But with Mr. Carter and others, these were one-off comments in interviews or other public settings, not a systematic indictment on the campaign trail.

Until this cycle, Bill Clinton has been a regular campaigner for fellow Democrats, not least his wife, but even as he assailed Republican ideas, he generally refrained from directly attacking his successors. As in previous years, the younger Mr. Bush has been out on the trail this fall but has largely kept his post-White House campaigning to closed-door fund-raisers and studiously avoided criticizing either Mr. Obama or Mr. Trump.

Mr. Obama’s criticism of Mr. Trump reflects a deep antipathy he feels for his successor, whom he called a “con man” and a “know nothing” during the 2016 campaign. Mr. Trump was the leading promoter of the lie that Mr. Obama was not born in the United States, a conspiracy theory that irritated the 44th president.

Mr. Obama has never been effective at translating his own popularity to other Democrats — the party lost all three elections while he was president when his name was not on the ballot — but he seems liberated as he finally unloads on Mr. Trump. “He wants to be in the game and he’s really energized doing it,” said Bill Burton, a former aide who caught up with Mr. Obama at a campaign stop in California.

Now 57, Mr. Obama has turned even grayer on top but has otherwise not changed much. For rallies, he still doffs coat and tie for his trademark white collared shirt with rolled up sleeves. He has dispensed with the professorial history lessons that slowed his stump speech down at the beginning of the fall and sharpened his argument into an animated, finger-pointing, crowd-riling indictment of his successor.

While he did not use Mr. Trump’s name in Miami on Friday, Mr. Obama left no doubt who he was talking about. He pointed to Mr. Trump’s use of a cellphone that advisers have told him is being monitored by foreign powers, contrasting that with the Republican criticism of Hillary Clinton’s use of an unsecure email server.

“You know they don’t care about that because if they did, they’d be worrying about the current president talking on his cell phone while the Chinese are listening in,” Mr. Obama said. “They didn’t care about it. They said it to get folks angry and ginned up.”

“Now in 2018, they’re telling you the vestigial threat to America is a bunch of poor refugees a thousand miles away,” he added, referring to a migrant caravan in Mexico. “They’re even taking our brave troops away from their families for a political stunt at the border. And the men and women of our military deserve better than that.”

In just a few days, he will find out whether voters see it his way or Mr. Trump’s.

I figure that I should write down all of my reference work/books here as I am the king of tsundoku, and always forget what I have on the go. I also like to write the quotes from a good book into a separate file so they’re easy to find when I think of them. I’ll copy those here as well. I will keep this list updated and current.

CURRENTLY READING The Dispossessed – Ursula K Le Guin Design for the Pluriverse – Arturo Escobar The Spell of the Sensuous – David Abrham

___________________________________ BOOK QUOTES:

James Bridle – A New Dark Age Citations

“Computation does not merely govern our actions in the present, but constructs a future that best fits its parameters. That which is possible becomes that which is computable.” p. 44

“The more obsessively we attempt to compute the world, the more unknowable complex it appears.” p. 46

“The philosopher Timothy Morton calls global warming a ‘hyperobject’; a thing that surrounds us, envelops and entangles us, but that is literally too big to see in its entirety. Mostly, we perceive hyperobjects through their influence on other things, a melting ice sheet, a dying sea, the buffecting of a transatlantic flight. Hyperobjects happen everywhere at once, but we can only experience them in the local environment. We may perceive hyperobjects as personal because they affect us directly, or imagine them as products of scientific theory; in fact, they stand outside both our perception and our measurement. They exist without us. Because they are so close and yet so hard to see, they defy our ability to describe them rationally, and to master or overcome them in any traditional sense. Climate change is a hyperobject, but so is nuclear radiation, evolution, and the internet” p. 73

“Such histories give the lie to the heroic narrative of history – the lone genius toiling away to produce a unique insight. History is networked and atemporal” p. 78

“The way we think the world is shaped by the tools at our disposal.” p. 102

“This awareness of historic injustice is crucial to understanding the dangers of the mindless implementation of new technologies that uncritically ingest yesterday’s mistakes.” p. 144

“Any strategy other than mindful, thoughtful cooperation is a form of disengagement: a retreat that cannot hold. We cannot reject contemporary technology anymore than we can ultimately and utterly reject our neighbours in society and the world; we are all entangled. An ethics of cooperation in the present need not be limited to machines either: with other nonhuman entities, animate and non-animate, it becomes another form of stewardship, emphasising acts of universal justice not in an unknowable, uncomputable future, but in the here and now.” p. 160

In talking about a “‘smoking gun’: the single source or piece of evidence that would bring down authority”(183): “The problem of the smoking gun besets every strategy that depends on revelation to move opinion.” p. 183

“Consensus – such as the broad scientific agreement around the urgency of the climate crisis – is disregarded in the face of the smallest quantum of uncertainty.” p. 184

“Computational knowing requires surveillance, because it can only produce its truth from the data available to it directly. In turn, all knowling is reduced to that which is computationally knowable, so all knowing becomes a form of surveillance. Thus computational logic denies our ability to think the situation, and to act rationally in the absence of certainty. It is also purely reactive, permitting action only after sufficient evidence has been gathered and forbidding action in the present, when it is most needed.” p. 184

“But the network has changed how we establish and shape cultures: people in distant locales can gather online to share their experiences and beliefs and form cultures all their own.” p. 208

“We’re all looking at the same world and seeing radically different things.” p. 211

“[M. Beth Dempster] suggested the term sympoesis for “collectively-producing systems that do not have self-defined spatial or temporal boundaries. Information and control are distributed among components. The systems are evolutionary and have the potential for surprising change.” By contrast, autopoetic systems are “self-producing” autonomous units “with self defined spatial or temporal boundaries that tend to be centrally controlled, homeostatic, and predictable.”” p. 33

“The reality, however, is that there is no avoiding the necessity of the difficult cultural work of reflection and mourning. This work is not opposed to practical action, rather it is the foundation of any sustainable and informed response.” p. 39

Latour quote: “Some are reading themselves to live as Earthbound in the Anthropocene; others decided to remain as Humans in the Holocene” p. 41

Speaking of Latour: “He is a compositionist intent on understanding how a common world, how collectives, are built-with each other, where all the builders are not human beings.” p. 41

“Philippe Pignarre and Isabelle Strangers note that denunciation has been singularly ineffective, or capitalism would have long ago vanished from the earth. A dark bewitched commitment to the lure of Progress (and its polar opposite) lashes us to endless infernal alternatives, as if we had no other ways to reworld, reimagine, relive, and reconnect with each other, in multispecies well-being.” p. 50-51

“To be animal is to become-with bacteria (and, no doubt, viruses and many other sores of critters; a basic aspect of sympoesis is its expandable set of players). [..] Next, I hold out a tasty model system for studying developmental symbioses. The question here is not how animals hold themselves together at all, but rather, how they craft developmental patternings that take them through time in astonishing morphogeneses. My favourite model is the diminutive Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes, and its bacterial smybionts, vibrio fischeri, which are essential for the squid’s constructing its ventral pouch that houses luminescing bacteria, so that the hunting squid can look like a starry sky to its prey below on dark nights, or appear not to cast a shadow on moonlit nights.” p. 65-66 “It is time to turn to sympoietic worldings, to vital models crafted in SF patterns in each zone, where ordinary stories, ordinary becoming “involved in each other’s lives,” propose ways to stay with the trouble in order to nurture well-being on a damaged planet. Symchthonic stories are not the tales of heroes; they are the tales of the ongoing.” p. 76

“Intimacy without proximity is not “wirtual” presence; it is “real” presence, but in loopy materialities. […] The crochet reef is a practice of caring without the neediness of touching by camera or hand in yet another voyage of discovery.” p. 79

Quote: “But what good are old stories if the wisdom they contain is not shared?” p. 86

“Even though the models of sympoiesis are expandable, it is critical not to once again raid situated indegenous stories as resources for the woes of colonizing projects and peoples.” p. 87

“Jason Moore [argues] that cheap nature is at an end; cheapening nature cannot work much longer to sustain extraction and production in and of the contemporary world because most of the reserves of the earth have been drained, burned, depleted, poisoned, exterminated, and otherwise exhausted.” p. 100

“My Chthulucene […] entangles myriad temporalities and spatialities and myriad intra-active entities-in-assemblages – including the more-than-human, other-than-human, inhuman, and human-as-humus.” p. 101

“Who and whatever we are, we need to make-with – become-with, compose-with – the earth-bound.” p. 102

“Recuperation is still possible, but only in multispecies alliance, across the killing divisions of nature, culture, and technology and of organism, language, and machine.” p. 118

Critical Fabulations – Daniela K Rosner

ROSNER, D. K. (2020). CRITICAL FABULATIONS: Reworking the methods and margins of design. S.l.: MIT PRESS.

“Herbert Simon’s definition covers nearly all imaginable instances of design. To design, Simon writes, is to “devise courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones” (Simon, The scienses of the artificial, 1982 p 129). Design, properly defined,is the entire process across the full range of domains required for any given outcome.” (p. x)

“At stake in this renewed discourse of design through creative empowerment is the ferishization of technological progress and the further entrenchment of power hierarchies. […] Who benefits from technical labour and who loses out gets little attention within mainstream narratives of design and technology development.” (p. 11)

“Comparing theoretical pillars of dominant design paradigm to tactics of critical fabulation: Individualism >> Alliances Objectivism >> Recuperations Universalism >> Interferences Solutionism >> Extensions” (p. 15)

“Critical fabulations are ways of storytelling that rework how things that we design come into being and what they do in the world. They deconstruct design methods to open different understandings of the past that reconfigure the present, creating new opportunities for a just future.” (p. 17)

“Dewey recognized that society cannot simply return to a “primitive” time before technology. Rather, people must acknowledge the presence of technology within society and use science to understand how it affects a peron’s entire character. Only then can people produce appropriate structures (pedagogies, policies, conditions of labour) for working collaboratively.” (p. 27)

“With probes, designers thus pointed to an important distinction between universalistic assumptions of access versus response. The radical move to provoke design insights through embodied encounters came with a recognition that universal responses may never exist.” (p. 37)

A quote from Lucy Suchman “”I became very interested in challenges to traditional sociology that were based on the idea that social structure is not a given, it’s ongoingly and actively constituted and reproduced”” (p. 45)

“For Haraway, the cyborg described an “imploded” figure who worked against a theorizing of technology in terms of natural and artificial, categories that erased the question of what kinds of relationships get produced and for whom they get made.” (p. 51)

“Technology of enchantment” – symbolic power inherent in not fully understanding how things work (the magic of design, tonkenwise?) – (p. 77)

Re: Alliances “In what ways can you cultivate collective action?” (p. 86) “How can you inquire in concert with those in the design setting?” (p. 87)

Re: Recuperations “Who’s invisible work underpins your own? How might it inform your inquiry?” (p. 88) “What histories of practice have been suppressed or elided?” (p. 88)

Re: Interferences “What representations feed a prevailing design narrative? Whom do they represent?” (p. 92) “What opportunities exist for examining the responses generated by interferences?” (p. 92)

Setting the record straight on the benefits, and heavy costs, of immigration to Canada

Opinion: The average recent immigrant in Canada imposes a fiscal burden of $5,300 annually

According to government statistics, in 2010 the number of recent immigrants (since 1985) was about 3.7 million. Multiplying this number by $5,300 brings the estimated fiscal burden that year to $20 billion. Since then the stock of immigrants has increased by 250,000 a year and raised the annual fiscal burden in 2018 to over $30 billion.

Special to Financial Post Herbert Grubel and Patrick Grady, August 20, 2019 https://www.fraserinstitute.org/sites/default/files/canadas-immigrant-selection-policies.pdf

In a recent campaign speech, Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada, cited the results of one of our studies, which showed that recent immigrants are imposing a heavy fiscal burden on Canadians. He used this information to justify his plan to reduce future levels of immigration.

The CBC had journalist Jonathon Gatehouse do a “fact check” of Bernier’s claim about the fiscal burden. In a publication sponsored by the CBC, he concludes that this claim is “false.” Since this verdict implies that our study also reached false conclusions, we feel compelled to do our own fact check of the analysis produced by Gatehouse.

The author makes much of the well-known fact that immigrants have a positive effect on aggregate national income (GDP), which says nothing about the fiscal burden. He also fails to note that recent immigrants have lowered Canada’s per capita income since, according to official statistics, they have lower average incomes than other Canadians.

He also cites a number of published studies and data he considers relevant. They involve well-known facts and again tell us nothing about the fiscal burden. For example, he notes that the gap in the unemployment rate between recent immigrants and native-born Canadian males has narrowed, but neglects to mention that this always happens when an economic boom creates increased demand for labour and leads to the hiring of previously unemployable workers.

Another statistic Gatehouse cited is that the wages received by immigrants who entered the labour market in 2017 were the highest ever. These wages have indeed been increasing every year, along with the wages of all new labour force entrants. The fact that the average incomes of immigrants who arrived in 2006 increased consistently over the following 10 years simply reflects the normal increase in incomes of all workers through time due to increased skills and work experience. As working immigrants go through this cycle, their average income rises relative to the average income of Canadians of all ages.

Estimating the fiscal burden immigrants impose on Canadians requires data on the average taxes paid and government benefits received by immigrants. Data from the 2016 Census also cited by Gatehouse shows that the average income of recent immigrants aged 25-54 continues to fall short of that of non-immigrants, which means they continue to pay less in taxes on average.

In our most recent study we used basic statistics from the previous census and the National Household Survey to estimate that because of Canada’s progressive income tax system, recent immigrants paid much lower income taxes than non-immigrants. We added to this amount other taxes related to income and wealth, such as the GST and capital gains taxes, and concluded that in 2008-09, recent immigrants on average paid $13,100 in tax compared with $18,000 paid by other Canadians, yielding a shortfall of $4,900 per year.

The government publishes statistics on how much it spends to provide different types of benefits. In the absence of all the required information, we assumed that immigrants received the same benefits on average as did other Canadians. This assumption seems reasonable since nearly all spending was on universal health care, social insurance, education, security and conservation of the environment.

In response to criticism, we estimated that with their lower incomes immigrants benefit less from government spending on protection but, because they have more children on average, benefit more from spending on education. The net effect of these adjustments is that immigrants on average receive $414 more than non-immigrants in benefits.

Gatehouse noted that in our study we had not taken account of welfare and other social benefits received by immigrants, which some believe to be excessive and others believe to be less than what non-immigrants receive. We deliberately avoided this controversial issue and assumed simply that both groups received the same average amount of such benefits. The greatest differences between recent immigrants and others is on the tax, not the spending side of the government accounts.

When we combined our estimates of taxes paid and benefits received we found that the average recent immigrant in Canada imposes a fiscal burden of $5,300 annually.

According to government statistics, in 2010 the number of recent immigrants (since 1985) was about 3.7 million. Multiplying this number by $5,300 brings the estimated fiscal burden that year to $20 billion. Since then the stock of immigrants has increased by 250,000 a year and raised the annual fiscal burden in 2018 to over $30 billion.

Canada needs a full discussion of its immigration policy that considers both its benefits, which are discussed by politicians and the media all the time, but also its very real costs, which involve not just the fiscal burden but also traffic congestion, overcrowding of hospitals, schools and recreational facilities, deteriorating environment and lack of affordable housing, which governments cannot address in part because of the fiscal burden. A lot of roads, affordable housing and cleaner environment could be purchased with that $30 billion.

Task 1 - Research

What is modernist architecture?

Modernist architecture is a global architecture and design movement emerged in the 1920s in response to accelerate industrialization and social changes in the society. Modernist architecture utilized new materials as well as advanced technology to reject the old, tradition, historical ideas and styles of architecture. The idea is to emphasized function, simplicity, and rationality.

The uses of those elements mentioned above resulted in modern buildings characterized by clean lines, simple geometric shapes, pure cubic forms, ribbon windows, flat roofs, and flexible open interior spaces.

What are the key design elements of modernist architecture that will help you design your museum?

Clean lines

Simple geometric shapes

Cubic forms

Ribbon windows (A series of windows set side by side to form continuous band horizontally)

Flat Roofs

Flexible open interior spaces

The key idea is to use theme elements to elevate my museum design as well as emphasized on function, simplicity, and rationality.

Source: https://study.com/academy/lesson/modernism-in-architecture-definition-history.html

Create a mood board of architecture that will influence your design in software.

From my research of the modernist architecture, I was inspired by the usage of the function, simplicity and rationality. In extension to that, I created a mood board including a series of images of modernist architecture, and I learned something during the process; the design includes clean lines, simple geometric shapes and cubic forms.

This heavily inspired me to draw sketches in a 2D perspective of designs that I’m inspired from. The sketches I have drawn follows most of the factors from my research. It includes simplicity such as the cubic forms of the building or geometric shapes to keep everything modernize. Moreover, I plan on expanding my design by sketching the top and side view of the building to present the building in a completely different perspective in response to functionality and rationality.

Art and Design movement - The Bauhaus

Context

What was the factor that led to this design movements forming?

Bauhaus was a German school of design, architecture and applied arts that existed in Germany. Bauhaus in full was called, ‘Staatliches Bauhaus’ and was in operation from 1919 to 1933. The design school was based in Weimar until 1925, Dessau in 1932, and Berlin in its final months in 1933.

The reason why the school was not in operation was that the liberals who had supported the Bauhaus were defeated, and the new conservative government cut off school’s funding on 1 April 1925, precisely six years after it opened, the Bauhaus was forced to close.

Key Individuals

Who were some of the key individuals involved with this design movement?

Josef Albers

Josef Albers believed the important formal qualities of the day where: harmony or balance, free or measured rhythms, geometric or arithmetic proportion, symmetry or asymmetry and central or peripheral synthesis.

Herbert Bayer

Herbert Bayer (1900-1985) was an Austrian-American painter, photographer and typographer. He initially joined the Bauhaus as a student and, after some years, he was named the director of the printing and advertising department.

Wassily Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky taught from theory with an emphasis on colour theory. He encouraged his students to understand abstraction in his course ‘The Basics of Artistic Design,’ but it was in his colour class where Kandinsky most thoroughly developed his own theories.

Use of science and new technology

How did they use the technology of the time in new ways to produce innovative and creative design?

In 1923, the Bauhaus school of design organised an exhibition which changed the Bauhaus ideology. It was called ‘Art & Technology: A New Unity’. The workshops at the Bauhaus was used as laboratories in which prototypes of products, suitable mass production. It was carefully developed and improved in their time as artists embrace the new possibilities of modern technologies and how they could combine them with art to produce an innovative and creative design.

Function

What was the function and purpose behind their work, why did they do what they did?

The key idea and what led motivation behind the Bauhaus movement lay in the 19th century. It began when arising in the anxieties about the soullessness of manufacturing its products, and in fears that art may lose its purpose in the society. The movement’s purpose was to unite creativity and manufacturing again, as it fears that it could be drifted apart from focusing the mass manufacturing its product as opposed to being creative with the product.

Design Characteristics

What were the key visual and design characteristics of this design movement?

Form follows function

Louis Sullivan is an American architect and was the first person to use the famous expression ‘form follows function’. This became the very foundation of the Bauhaus. ‘Form follows function’, means that form should be applied of its function and comparing it to the traditional buildings, there are significant changes to the appeal in the buildings in modern society. It focuses more on the functionality of the building as opposed to their appeal.

True materials

Materials should reflect the true nature of objects and buildings and honesty as a designer was the most important. True materials term means that they didn’t try to hide the materials for the sake of the ‘appeal’.

Minimalist style

The minimalist style of Bauhaus art reflected on the ideas of functionality and true materials. It is influenced by movements such as Modernism and De Stijl and focuses more on linear and geometrical forms while avoiding floral and curvilinear shapes.

Gesamtkunstwerk

The founder of the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius was the first person to apply the notion of ‘Gesamtkunstwerk’. It combines multiple art forms such as fine and decorative arts unified through architecture in the case of Bauhaus.

Uniting art and technology

The Bauhaus school of design organised an exhibition in 1923 which shifted the Bauhaus ideology. The exhibition was called ‘Art & Technology: A New Unity’. The workshops at the Bauhaus was used as laboratories prototyping products as well as the suitability for mass production.

Influence

What areas of design did this movements influence?

The Bauhaus movement was recognised in fields of design such as interior design, graphic design, typography and architecture. However, its influence exists in many areas beyond art and design. For instance, the modernist architecture and modern design was influence with the geometric designs, minimalism, true materials, and hand-crafted to the extent it had mass marketing in mind.

Production

How was the work produced? How does this differ from today?

The Bauhaus goal was to combine art, craft, and technology to reach a common goal and a common vision of a purer form of design without unnecessary decoration. The work produced was centralised on the idea of functionality, practical, and clean which is no different from what modernism is today. However, at the time it wasn’t really a ‘thing’, more like a collection of ideas.

Art and Design movement – DADA

Context

What was the factor that led to this design movements forming?

The DADA movement is claimed to be “anti-art” and had a strong destructive and negative element to provoke people’s expressions such as shock and outrage. It was a rejection of tradition and the seeking of complete freedom from past traditions. 

DADA was born out of disgust for the social, political and cultural values of the time. This art of protest – based on a serious underlying principle is delightful. DADA was nonsense, yet colourful, wittily sarcastic and just downright silly.

Key Individuals

Who were some of the key individuals involved with this design movement?

Francis Picabia

Picabia was a French artist who embraced the many ideas of Dadaism. He enjoyed going against convention and re-defined himself to work in new ways over his career.

Hugo Ball

Hugo Ball designed the costume showing in the image above, for his performance of the sound-poem, “Karawane”. It is the type of performance in which nonsensical syllables uttered in patterns created rhythm and emotion; however, nothing resembling any known language.

This was the result or a mockery and is meant to be directed to the inability of European powers to solve their diplomatic problems through discussion, thus leading to World War 1.

Hans Arp

Hans Arp made a series of collages based on chance. Hugo would stand above a sheet of paper, dropping squares of contrasting coloured paper on a larger sheet’s surface. Wherever the contrasting coloured square lands on the surface, he would glue the squares that fell on the page.

References: https://www.theartstory.org/movement-dada.htm

Use of science and new technology

How did they use the technology of the time in new ways to produce innovative and creative design?

There weren’t much of the methods they could use. It was all traditional, yet the thoughts are innovative and creative. The work produced is similar to what we’d call as ‘Photomontage’ – produced by cutting, glueing, rearranging and overlapping images to create a new image. However, the work produced influenced by the DADA movement is just downright nonsensical in its nature. 

Function

What was the function and purpose behind their work, why did they do what they did?

DADA art movement was a form of artistic anarchy born out of disgust for the social, political and cultural values of the time. The art movement embraced elements of art, music, poetry, theatre, dance and politics. It was the opposite style of art movements such as Cubism or Fauvism, yet it was more a protest movement with an anti-establishment manifesto.

Design Characteristics

What were the key visual and design characteristics of this design movement?

DADA began in Zurich and became an international movement. Or non-movement, as it were.

DADA only had one rule: Never follow any known rules.

DADA was intended to provoke an emotional reaction from the viewer such as shock or outrage.

DADA art is nonsensical to the point of whimsy. Almost all of the people who created it were ferociously serious, though.

Abstraction and Expressionism were the main influences on DADA, followed by Cubism and Futurism.

The movement that is supposed to mean nothing, yet DADA certainly created a lot of offshoots. In addition to spawning numerous literary journals. DADA had also influenced many concurrent trends in the visual arts.

DADA self-destructed when it was in danger of becoming “acceptable”.

Influence

What areas of design did this movements influence?

DADA influence was Abstraction, Expressionism, Cubism and, to a lesser extent, Futurism. The output was pretty diverse that the DADA has an influence on, ranging from performance art to poetry, photography, sculpture, painting, and collage.

Production

How was the work produced? How does this differ from today?

It is in no question that the art produced differ from today. However, the DADA movement has spurred modern artists to find their own voice. There was no longer a need to adhere to a static set of rules – or even to make logical sense. This laid the groundwork for the freedom of expression that artists now enjoy today.

Art and Design movement – Russian Constructivism

Context

What was the factor that led to this design movements forming?

Constructivism was a particular austere branch of abstract art founded by Vladimir Tatlin and Alexander Rodchenko in Russia around 1915. The Russian Constructivism is aimed and believed art should directly reflect the modern industrial world. Pablo Picasso’s Cubist constructions were Vladimir Tatlin’s influenced, in which he saw in Picasso’s studio in 1913. Tatlin began to make his own but they were completely abstract and made of industrial materials.

References: https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/c/constructivism

Key Individuals

Who were some of the key individuals involved with this design movement?

Vladimir Tatlin

Vladimir Tatlin was central to the birth of Russian Constructivism. He was often described as “laboratory constructivist”, and Tatlin took lessons learned from Pablo Picasso’s Cubist reliefs and Russian Futurism, and began to create objects that sometimes seem poised between sculpture and architecture.

Alexander Rodchenko

Alexander Rodchenko started working from 1915 to 1955. His mediums are painting, photography, sculptor and printing. Rodchenko was inspired by Art Nouveau artists such as Aubrey Beardsley. His art combined with politics to contribute to communist propaganda.

Alexander’s career is a model clash between modern art and radical politics. He emerged as a reasonably conventional painter. However, his encounters with Russian Futurists made him want to become an influential founder of the Constructionist movement.

Use of science and new technology

How did they use the technology of the time in new ways to produce innovative and creative design?

In the artwork that they have produced, industrial materials like glass, steel, and plastic were used in the artwork creation.

Function

What was the function and purpose behind their work, why did they do what they did?

Tatlin’s Corner Counter-Relief work in 1914 was a vital work that made him develop ideas, and form a bridge between the influence of Cubism on his work. However, his work would conform neither to the conventional format of painting or sculpture as Constructivism would aspire to display those old fashioned forms. In which, Tatlin suggests that modernity and experiment should be Russia’s new gods.

References: https://www.theartstory.org/movement-constructivism-artworks.htm

Design Characteristics

What were the key visual and design characteristics of this design movement?

Constructivism aimed stood for three ideals – abstraction, functionalism, and utilitarianism. The Russian Constructivism focused more on the construction of the art rather than the composition, in turns – it distinguished them from the traditional art movements and their aim is modernity.

The movement tried to attain universal form. The work produced consisted of three as well as two-dimensional art forms. The general themes that were often used are geometric, minimal, experimental, and rarely emotional. Furthermore, the artwork produced is broken down to its basic elements – the art form simplified everything on the fundamental level.

Materials that would be considered modernity were used such as glass, steel, and plastic were used in the artwork creation.

The artwork produced combine different sans serif fonts for their visual properties as well as their meanings. Moreover, simple colours, flat, and symbolic elements would be used in the artwork. A lot of the time, rather than hand-drawn illustrations were used in the artwork, the photo-montage technique was often used.

References: https://arthearty.com/history-characteristics-of-constructivist-art

Influence

What areas of design did this movements influence?

The style in which the movement has been marked by is an organization of abstract, geometrical elements to make dynamic or visually stable forms. Moreover, simple, flat and symbolic colours. Moreover, it is also focused on extensive white space as part of the design and the use of photography (rather than drawn illustrations) and photomontage in the work. This could be said that the movement has its influences in today’s Graphic Design and Photography.

Production

How was the work produced? How does this differ from today?

Stylistically, the Constructivism focused on abstract, geometrical elements to make dynamic or visually stable forms. The artwork produced combine different sans serif typefaces for their visual and formal properties as well as their meaning. Simple, flat, and symbolic colours were also used in the artwork, and rather than including hand-drawn illustrations in the artwork, it focused more on photo-montage.

The methods to creating the artwork may work differently today; however, the style and the thoughts process for the artwork are similar as a lot of the artwork today focused more on simple, flat, and symbolic colours which were true to the Russian Constructivism.
