There is actually a real definition to it. For example one day I realized that black people live in a world different than mine.

It woke me up to the realities of black existence

That’s why it’s “woke”.

When i had my kid and i read a bunch of stuff on parenting, i also came across those articles where black families needed to talk to their sons about police. It never occurred to me that people would need to so that.

I had to student teach secondary mathematics in october of 2020.

My host teacher was very up-to-date on online learning platforms (like pear deck and desmos) so i got to teach while learning these programs and making lessons with someone very knowledgeable with this. We also had 30% IEP students but also had a special education teacher so that helped a lot as well.

But otherwise most of the teachers were unprepared to teach themselves.

If you used manipulatives which i deem necessary to visualize fractions you were out of luck :(

This is a really good source of information by county:

One thing that people forget is that minimum wage is a factor as well. In texas a living wage is $14 and living wage of $25 in california. so you’d think you’d have a better cost of living in texas. However if you compare the minimum wage texas is $7.25 and california is $15.50.

For the amount you work, california is a better deal. However that makes it harder for people to come move to california obviously.

i was a right libertarian at one time.

The more research i did, right libertarianism just didn’t sit well with me. I couldn’t reconcile their politics because i have empathy. I wish i was lying. These are selfish fucks who twisted the word to fit their needs.

When we were living in the high desert of california our friend would meet up at mcDs to let our kids play together. we were minding our own fucking business when a white stranger who asked our white friend if he was “okay”. As in was he ok with hanging out with us asians. This was before covid, only 70miles out of DTLA.

We don’t live there anymore thank god. Many are not fortunate enough to move away from this kind of hostile environment. How in the fuck can you say that for them to get a gun to defend themselves is irrational and insane?

I’m not religious of the sort but i have done a lot of reading since my gay childhood friend married in the SDA church.

There are those who take the bible literally and it’s not supposed to be meant to be read that way. Jewish folks don’t read the torah literally.

For example, Rachel held evans has a fantastic book where she follows biblical teachings for women from the Old Testament. she found out from her jewish friend that proverbs 31 is nothing the sort of what evangelicals claim to be. Spoiler: it’s a song in the torah praising women for the work they do, not a list of things a perfect biblical woman should do.

I fucking hate the church though.

I agree.

Also when we’re all being fucked over no one has a right to say how we (in general) should be protesting. People get to show their anger in whatever way they want. It’s like people asking for civility so they don’t have to deal with uncomfortable messages. Um fuck no. NSFW all the way if that’s what one decides.

Thanks for agitating
