Gabby’s documentary focuses on dreadlocks and how others conceptualize the somewhat competing values associated with dreadlocks. I think one reason I react enthusiastically to her work has to do with her ability to toggle between the analytic and experiential. She’s invested in both the celebration of her roots even as she actively seeks to understand how others view the ethnic, geographic, and musical values associated with dreadlocks. It’s difficult not to be caught up in that celebration. Why shouldn’t we be seduced by student writing?

Jessee’s project documents Steampunk and the role specific instances of that sub-genre play in her development as a writer and person. She describes overcoming life’s challenges by gaining access to online Steampunk communities and how that sense of acceptance is transformative. 

You can see her work at Static Perception.

What's My Role?

"We need to develop a theory of reading student texts which takes into account our reading of the students themselves, of our own unconscious motivations and associations, and, finally, of the interactive and dialectical nature of the teacher-student relationship" (Tobin 335).

Buckeye village is home to many different people with many different talents. We have people suck as Tay who aspire to be musicians, we have people who aspire to be doctors, and we have people such as myself who aspire to change the world in any way possible. An exam of the talent housed at BV is in this video of Maris Bucci and Myself.

Dr. Matt recommended this website for great recipes and I figured it would be beneficial to share!

This was my surprisingly longer than two minute interview with Dr. Pamer! The beginning is cut off due to the fact that we immediately started talking and I wanted to get permission to post on Tumblr before recording. He provided me with a lot of great information. At one point I had asked what benefits he personally received from following paleo and he said, "the greatest benefit is being more alive." I loved this statement because in his presence, you can actually feel the truth in that. It was such a pleasure to meet him and am very grateful he took time out of his schedule to sit down with me. Thank you! :)

Paleo Basics

The main idea of the Paleolithic diet is to cut out refined sugars, dairy, grains, and legumes and go waaaaay back to our "hunter and gatherer" days, eating only animal proteins, fruits, and veggies. There are two types of followers to the paleo diet. Strict followers, are ones who will NOT eat dairy, NOT eat grains, and NO refined sugars. If the Paleolithic man wouldn't eat it, neither would this person and everything is usually organic. Loose followers sometimes eat dairy, they will sometimes eat pseudo grains, or even have a cheat meal every once in a while. There are a lot of benefits to switching to the paleo diet. Among some of those are weight loss, less inflammation, more energy (usually) and reduced risk of disease. Eating paleo foods ensures a balanced diet and an increase in vitamins and nutrients from the excess fruits and veggies being consumed. Alongside the benefits, there are also some downsides like it lacks variety, it avoids foods that have great health benefits (like grains), and it is considered low carb. A person on the paleo diet consumes between 35-45g of carbohydrates a day and the Institute of Medicine recommends between 45-65. So if you the person is active or even an athlete, it might not meet the energy needs of this person. It is said, the first month of starting paleo is the hardest, but if it is continued the time after is smooth sailing. There are also a lot of helpful websites that can build grocery lists, help swap foods that aren't paleo for paleo approved ones (LIKE PANCAKES!), and introduce followers to others that can offer support and advice. I found it hard to find many people who know or even partake in the Paleolithic diet in the area and so I researched online and found a bunch of ideas to help stay on track. Ironically, blogging, like tumblr, is one of them. Overall, the research done for this project didn't feel like work. I plan to be a nutrition major and this gave me the freedom to learn about something that interested me and was relevant to my career goals. I even think I am going to try out paleo and see how it can benefit me. Oh yes, I also plan to continue using Tumblr and sharing delicious recipes.
