Tryin to think through a syllabus overhaul

To my teaching friends and also followers engaged in thinking about race and representation:

If I wanna start with a week of foundational discussion re: race/racism and follow that with some discussion of black lives matter, “the myth of black criminality” etc...how can I move fluidly into a discussion of television/film without that transition seeming WILDLY shallow/abrupt?

(this is for an intro composition course at the college level)

ladies ladies ladies meme: 4 | 8 | 15

Okay here we go - in no particular order . . . . 

4 - Top 5 “Magical Girls” > I haven’t watched any magical girls stuffs (aside from Sailor Moon Crystal) since early high school. Let’s see who I can remember aside from my fave Scouts.

Sailor Neptune - baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabe

Sailor Uranus - life goals and wife goals

Utena - I remember wanting to BE her, this show needs a modern remake, but like no touching of the story just new animation

Sakura - I collected clow cards for a bit

Whiskey Thunder - you’re as magical as they come ;) also i ran out of fictional magical girls 

8 - Top 5 “That I’d want to go on an adventure with” 

Lara Croft - hell yeah hell yeah i wanna go on a treasure hunt, i wanna go steal some artifacts, let’s raid some tombs!! 

ELIZABETH SWANN - LET’S GO BE PIRATE GIRLFRIENDS TOGETHER AND PILLAGE AND PLUNDER AND DRINK RUM AND SAIL THE SEAS INTO THE SUNSET

Mabel Pines - bby girl is so fucking precious and like i don’t even care if we just chill out with waddles the whole day in the mystery shack i just wanna hangout with this rad kid because she’s awesome and i love her to bits just listening to her talk about her life would be an adventure

Avatar Korra - let’s go fuck shit up babe, let’s go tear down the patriarchy somewhere, let’s go to some bending cage fights or something i don’t even care. 

XENA - doing literally anything with this goddess would be an adventure

15 - Top 5 “That I want to rescue from their awful narratives”

Natasha Romanoff (MCU) - because honestly FUCK. JOSS. WHEDON. he’s the worst, nat deserves better, and if i could wipe her narrative from aou from this universe i would. also her thing with bruce??? i mean???? really??? what???? were???? they???? thinking????????????

Allison Argent - probably can’t talk enough about how fucking much i hate how her story was handled, especially her ending. just. what the actual fuck. allison fucking argent should not have gone down like that, fuck you teen wolf writers, and now she’s just a memory for everyone’s angst to flair up. i’m never going to stop being angry about this. 

RAVEN REYES - SAVE RAVEN REYES 2K15 she deserves so much more than what she’s been given. like CAN WE PLEASE STOP HURTING HER??? AND I DO MEAN PHYSICALLY. CAN WE PLEASE STOP TORTURING RAVEN REYES??????????? ALSO FUCK THE NOTION THAT SHE’S JUST HERE TO BE THE MAGICAL MECHANIC AND SCIENCE SOMETHING OUT OF THIN AIR TO SAVE THE DAY. SHE’S MORE THAN THAT. also what the fuck is with her love life? i mean jfc. can we just give her someone who will love her and treat her with respect and patience and kindness?????????? PLEASE.

MULAN - FOREVER ANGRY ABOUT MULAN’S TREATMENT ON THAT SHIT SHOW CALLED OUAT. FOREVER ANGRY THAT SHE DIDN’T GET ANY KIND OF RESOLUTION. FOREVER ANGRY AT HOW FUCKING QUEERBAITY IT ALL WAS. FUCK. THIS. SHOW. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SUCH AN AMAZING STORYLINE AND WHAT DID WE GET?????? A PILE OF BULLSHIT. 

BONNIE BENNET - i stopped watching tvd a long time ago but holy fuck i will never stop being concerned for bonnie bennet and how she’s treated. I MEAN THEY LITERALLY ONLY BRING HER IN WHEN THEY NEED SOME MAGICAL DEUX EX MACHINA. at every turn her story was just such bullshit. i’m so sick of it. she. is. so. great. and. it’s. wrong. to. treat. her. as. anything. less. than. magnificent. fuck you tvd writers. fuck you very very much.

5 things (starbuck)

to papadama: “respectfully, sir, that’s a load of crap and you know it.” (he tries to glare at her menacingly but gives up because, dammit, she’s right. a snake with two tails could come up with a better statement than the one he’s currently feeding the press. he reaches for his half-empty glass of whiskey, sighs in a way that makes kara realize just how much this war has taken from him, and says, “well then, what would you suggest?”)

to lee: “FIGHT ME.” (she does this every time they’re down to the last pour from the bottle. it always ends the same way: “you can have it, kara. there’s another bottle in my locker,” he says, already on his way to grab it. “yeah, that’s right. walk away.” “i’m cutting you off.”)

to helo: “fifteen cubits says i can land my viper on that spinning asteroid.” (shortly followed by “Starbu– KARA, NO!”)

to athena: “you’re alright. y’know, for a toaster.” (athena then punches her in the arm – using her full strength – and smirks when she hears kara stifle a groan. they both erupt in laughter and end up doing at least six shots of the awful moonshine chief makes. literally no one believes it’s actually “““engine cleaning solvent””” but they stopped caring about regulations awhile ago.)

AND BECAUSE I AM INCAPABLE OF RESTRAINING MYSELF, HERE’S A SAD ONE:

to herself: “i guess all i’m good at is fracking things up… [laughs] it’s all i’ve ever been good at.” (sam’s seen her do this before – hit the self-destruct button and spiral out. “we’ll fix it.” it seems like a hollow promise, but he means it. the “we” doesn’t go unnoticed and she leans into his shoulder, feeling a bit less like the ship’s going to come crashing down on her.)
