At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

[kineticpenguin]

At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely

[yourunderwaterskies]

technically you can, if you don't care about degrees.

Free Harvard courses. Free Courses from Stanford. Free Courses from MIT. Free courses from Yale. Free courses from Princeton.

Free courses on Coursera.

Free Courses on EDx Free Courses on Alison

For paid, there's The Great Courses+/Wonderium. 20$ a month for unlimited courses.

When searching, the phrases you're looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, "free online college courses." Oh, and so you don't get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place. Sign up with them and you will get things like THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS TURNING YOUR KIDS TRANS AND GAY in your inbox.

@yourunderwaterskies I wanted to say thank you so much for adding these links, seriously, they've been life-changingly helpful to me-

And I also wanted to mention that humanitarian organisations have free courses too, like the Red Cross on international humanitarian law.

ROUND ONE - RESULTS!

MATCHUPS: -Sam and Max (Sam and Max) VS Eddie Valiant (Who Framed Roger Rabbit)

-Basil of Baker Street (The Great Mouse Detective) VS Kuruto Ryuki (AI The Somnium Files: Nirvana Initiative)

-Dick Gumshoe (Ace Attorney) VS Lynne (Ghost Trick)

-Naoto Shirogane (Persona 4) VS Hercule Poirot (Agathe Christie's Poirot)

-Professor Layton (Professor Layton) VS Erika Furudo (Umineko)

-Kim Kitsuragi (Disco Elysium) VS Benoit Blanc (Knives Out)

-Dex Dogtective (FoodFight) VS Columbo (Columbo)

-Herlock Sholmes (The Great Ace Attorney) VS Dale Cooper (Twin Peaks) Woo! This had quite a few surprises, but here's the results for Round One! I must say, I had a lot of expectations - and just about every single one was blown out of the water. I'm very excited to see the next part! Oh, and one more thing...

Here's the loser's bracket! Those empty spaces are for the next matchup these characters will face.

MATCHUPS:

-Detective Pikachu (Detective Pikachu) VS Batman (DC)

-Iris Archwell (Nintendo's StreetPass) VS Honor Mizrahi (Murder by Numbers)

-Goro Akechi (Persona 5) VS L (Death Note)

-Kyoko Kirigiri (Danganronpa) VS Tohru Adachi (Persona 4)

-Shinichi Kudo (Detective Conan) VS Nancy Drew (Nancy Drew

-Hank Schrader (Breaking Bad) VS Inspector Gadget (Inspector Gadget)

-Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes) VS Amelia Watson (Hololive) and Kyle Hyde (Hotel Dusk) I am implementing a special rule - should a character have to face someone in Losers that they already lost to in Winners, they will swap with whoever is on the opposite side of the bracket. This may come into effect very soon depending on what happens! With that being said, you may notice Kyle and Amelia stacked together. This is because I have decided to keep Kyle, the two are now in a duo slot! No three-way polls, just duo slot for both of them. The three way rule was only ever meant for BBC Sherlock who has been destroyed. GOOD! With that, I'll be announcing the date for round 2 very shortly! Thank you all!

male gaze is not 'when person look sexy' or 'when misogynist make film'

death of the author is not 'miku wrote this'

I don't think you have to read either essay to grasp the basic concepts

death of the author means that once a work is complete, what the author believes it to mean is irrelevant to critical analysis of what's in the text. it means when analysing the meaning of a text you prioritise reader interpretation above author intention, and that an interpretation can hold valid meaning even if it's utterly unintentional on the part of the person who created the thing. it doesn't mean 'i can ignore that the person who made this is a bigot' - it may in fact often mean 'this piece of art holds a lot of bigoted meanings that the author probably wasn't intentionally trying to convey but did anyway, and it's worth addressing that on its own terms regardless of whether the author recognises it's there.' it's important to understand because most artists are not consciously and vocally aware of all the possible meanings of their art, and because art is communal and interpretive. and because what somebody thinks they mean, what you think somebody means, and what a text is saying to you are three entirely different things and it's important to be able to tell the difference.

male gaze is a cinematographic theory on how films construct subjectivity (ie who you identify with and who you look at). it argues that film language assumes that the watcher is a (cis straight white hegemonically normative) man, and treats men as relatable subjects and women as unknowable objects - men as people with interior lives and women as things to be looked at or interacted with but not related to. this includes sexual objectification and voyeurism, but it doesn't mean 'finding a lady sexy' or 'looking with a sexual lens', it means the ways in which visual languages strip women of interiority and encourage us to understand only men as relatable people. it's important to understand this because not all related gaze theories are sexual in nature and if you can't get a grip on male gaze beyond 'sexual imagery', you're really going to struggle with concepts of white or abled or cis subjectivities.

It feels like a waste of time trying to defend bad takes on other characters in Inso’s Law when the majority of this fandom consistently has terrible takes on Eun Jiho from bad reading comprehension or just not even knowing what happens before the ending.

Let’s be clear. I’ll always defend Ruda against unreasonable hate because he actually has great character development and I can even defend Cheonyoung despite the bitter taste he left in my mouth during the party arc.

I also don’t mind other ships. I’ve read like 9+ translated volumes and the rest through machine translation so I can always make the case for other ships. (The author is pretty clear in her intentions and she builds the characters in a grounded and logical manner as well so the mtl doesn’t hinder my understanding that much. Character building is really her strength.)

However, what pissed me off as a JiDan stan is when others try to play up their ship by saying that JiDan has 0 chemistry and especially, misconstruing Jiho’s character as a whole. It’s the mischaracterisation and this weird expectations that people have for no one but him for him to be worth of a love interest in their eyes that bother me. Jiho is good even when he has his out of line moments when DanDan were dating. He’s a complex kid.

Personally, I find it bizarre how the KR fandom seems to ignore how absolutely painful and cruel the final arc is for Jiho as much as it is for Dani. This is especially when you know what went down in the party arc in volume 5 and volume 13 but I digress.

I also literally have no words when people cry over how heartbroken the others will feel while also downplay Jiho’s struggles when Yoo Han Ryeo fucking spelled it out that Cheonyoung would be ok on multiple occasions. Meanwhile, Jiho constantly says that Dani really is the one thing in his life that he was dying to have even when she was never his. Unlike Ruda and Cheonyoung, Jiho was, is and will never be free from his parent’s expectations and he has pretty much accepted that this restriction is the cost for the life he was born into. Ruda is at least free and he manages to do everything without regrets.

Anyway, it’s a lot when you know your fave was so scarred by the final arc that he went through a whole character arc in a 15-chapter side story to see him getting absolutely shit treatment and weird takes by others to hype their faves.

☁️ 10 tips on studying when your motivation’s nowhere to be found

i got an ask about this yesterday and decided to turn my reply into a post because having trouble focusing when you’re super unmotivated is really common, so i thought more people might find this helpful :) buckle up kiddos, this is gonna be a long one!

1. i want you to remember that this is a universal experience.

every student out there struggles like hell sometimes, and that’s completely normal; you’re not a machine and that means you can’t possibly churn out work 24/7 without burning out. so try not to beat yourself up too much okay, you’re doing great!

2. take a deep breath and identify the reason you’re feeling like this

are you burnt out because of stress or overworking yourself? are you overwhelmed by the amount of tasks on your plate? is there a particular assignment or exam scaring you to the point where you don’t want to start studying? these are all normal reasons for lack of motivation and knowing the why will help you figure out the how - you gotta know the problem to solve it.

3. i know you feel like you’re months behind, but start small

small achievements accumulate. repeat this sentence to yourself daily, write it on a sticky note and keep it on the wall above your desk (it’s exactly what i did). break up daunting tasks into smaller ones; got a billion formulae to know by heart? memorise 3 every day (you’ll have memorised more than 20 by the end of the week!). got a long chapter to study? divide it into smaller chunks and just focus on 1-3 pages a day. slow and steady, you can do it

A FEARSOME CREACHER

[popthirdworld]

“When I was 26, I went to Indonesia and the Philippines to do research for my first book, No Logo. I had a simple goal: to meet the workers making the clothes and electronics that my friends and I purchased. And I did. I spent evenings on concrete floors in squalid dorm rooms where teenage girls—sweet and giggly—spent their scarce nonworking hours. Eight or even 10 to a room. They told me stories about not being able to leave their machines to pee. About bosses who hit. About not having enough money to buy dried fish to go with their rice.

They knew they were being badly exploited—that the garments they were making were being sold for more than they would make in a month. One 17-year-old said to me: “We make computers, but we don’t know how to use them.”

So one thing I found slightly jarring was that some of these same workers wore clothing festooned with knockoff trademarks of the very multinationals that were responsible for these conditions: Disney characters or Nike check marks. At one point, I asked a local labor organizer about this. Wasn’t it strange—a contradiction?

It took a very long time for him to understand the question. When he finally did, he looked at me like I was nuts. You see, for him and his colleagues, individual consumption wasn’t considered to be in the realm of politics at all. Power rested not in what you did as one person, but what you did as many people, as one part of a large, organized, and focused movement. For him, this meant organizing workers to go on strike for better conditions, and eventually it meant winning the right to unionize. What you ate for lunch or happened to be wearing was of absolutely no concern whatsoever.

This was striking to me, because it was the mirror opposite of my culture back home in Canada. Where I came from, you expressed your political beliefs—firstly and very often lastly—through personal lifestyle choices. By loudly proclaiming your vegetarianism. By shopping fair trade and local and boycotting big, evil brands.

These very different understandings of social change came up again and again a couple of years later, once my book came out. I would give talks about the need for international protections for the right to unionize. About the need to change our global trading system so it didn’t encourage a race to the bottom. And yet at the end of those talks, the first question from the audience was: “What kind of sneakers are OK to buy?” “What brands are ethical?” “Where do you buy your clothes?” “What can I do, as an individual, to change the world?”

Fifteen years after I published No Logo, I still find myself facing very similar questions. These days, I give talks about how the same economic model that superpowered multinationals to seek out cheap labor in Indonesia and China also supercharged global greenhouse-gas emissions. And, invariably, the hand goes up: “Tell me what I can do as an individual.” Or maybe “as a business owner.”

The hard truth is that the answer to the question “What can I, as an individual, do to stop climate change?” is: nothing. You can’t do anything. In fact, the very idea that we—as atomized individuals, even lots of atomized individuals—could play a significant part in stabilizing the planet’s climate system, or changing the global economy, is objectively nuts. We can only meet this tremendous challenge together. As part of a massive and organized global movement.

The irony is that people with relatively little power tend to understand this far better than those with a great deal more power. The workers I met in Indonesia and the Philippines knew all too well that governments and corporations did not value their voice or even their lives as individuals. And because of this, they were driven to act not only together, but to act on a rather large political canvas. To try to change the policies in factories that employ thousands of workers, or in export zones that employ tens of thousands. Or the labor laws in an entire country of millions. Their sense of individual powerlessness pushed them to be politically ambitious, to demand structural changes.

In contrast, here in wealthy countries, we are told how powerful we are as individuals all the time. As consumers. Even individual activists. And the result is that, despite our power and privilege, we often end up acting on canvases that are unnecessarily small—the canvas of our own lifestyle, or maybe our neighborhood or town. Meanwhile, we abandon the structural changes—the policy and legal work— to others.”

- Naomi Klein

This is why the media keeps pumping out articles about plastic straws and avocados that focuses on what we, individually, are doing to destroy the environment, when really the most pollution comes from multinational corporations and the only thing that will save us is global collective action.
