#so I was like alright have you ever heard of a man named Foucault?
Text
Okay I made this to represent a specific event but then I thought about it and realized that more generally soeaking this actually sums the exact dynamic I have with my fourth grade girls.
#like you guys don’t understand this is LITERALLY me and my girls#like. the example this was originally made to represent. I road the bus with [name redacted for privacy reasons] who is the apple of my eye#my incredible little girl who I have known for a year who I just adore.#I was taking the bus with her and she saw there was a security camera and asked about it. and it was like a 30 minute bus ride we had time#and I often will teach her about things I’m interested in even if they’re like. advanced right#so I was like alright have you ever heard of a man named Foucault?#i took the next 15 minutes to explain to her about who Foucault was and his essay about the panopticon and what that meant#described was a panopticon was described why he was talking about it talked about how that applies to us now#about how the police state is increasingly harnessing more and more technology to create an era of surveillance hitherto unknown of#and how this helps enforce the status quo etc.#she listened intently. nodding along thoughtfully. she quietly thought about it longer.#the whole time. GLOWERING. which is her response to everything.#I’m like. it’s interesting right? trying to prompt her to say what she was thinking.#instead of responding she just turns to the security camera at the front of the bus and very carefully puts up her middle finger#and then mouths ‘fuck. you.’#I could not be prouder of her but this is also just how all our conversations go#no matter if it’s about tattoos or Ancient Greek tragedy or Taylor swift.
