The light inside an oven is crucial to getting breads to rise. Without the light inside simulating the sun, the bread can't tell which way is up, leaving it twisted and ruined.

“Growing numbers of psychiatrists asserted that schizophrenia was a condition that afflicted “Negro men,” and that black forms of the illness were more hostile and aggressive than were white ones. At the time, it likely appeared to many Americans that an epidemic of schizophrenia was spreading among angry black men. In fact, psychiatry’s frame shift produced new categories of schizophrenic illness. Researchers used DSM II criteria to uncover “hostile” aspects of black schizophrenia, such as paranoia, delusions, or rage, and to draw connections between schizophrenia and civil rights demonstrations. A number of studies conflated black schizophrenia with Black Power in order to illustrate evolving understandings of the illness as hostile or violent, using long-standing stereotypes of manic, crazy black men to demonstrate “new” forms of schizophrenic illness. In 1968, psychiatrists Walter Bromberg and Frank Simon described schizophrenia as a “Protest Psychosis,” whereby black men developed “hostile and aggressive feelings” and “delusional anti-whiteness” after listening to the words of Malcolm X, joining the Black Muslims, or aligning with groups that preached militant resistance to white society. In that same year, psychiatric researchers Pierce and West argued that black men developed “delusions, grandiosity, magical thinking, and… dangerous aggressive feelings” when they participated in civil rights sit-ins.”

Local coffeeshop twink was apparently 3 twinks who all look, now that i think about it, pretty noticeably different, but until now seeing them all on the same shift i had assumed it was one guy. Twink 2 has been thoughtfully wiping the same mug for about 6 minutes.

Since you are such a trusted lover of mine,

Will you buy me more dead ancestor gasoline,

And making my family sick tobacco?

[...] The child-figure of nineteenth-century science appeared as an instrumental, and indeed vital, bodily container for human variation across the globe and through historical time. Progressive development, figured through this child, constituted and ordered a plethora of human differences in hierarchical series, including child-ness itself. The ‘‘normal’’ child, then, was a figure through which the ordering of children across the colonial globe was realized as well. From the ‘‘savage’’ urban poor child, to the child at the ‘‘uttermost ends of the earth,’’ to the bourgeois child in the nursery—all were brought under the scientific gaze, where their bodies materialized a continuum of normal and pathological development that simultaneously told a story of human history—and of human mind, desire, and moral justice.

As I have also suggested, the ‘‘normal’’ child was not assured of being normal until the developing body had traversed childhood and become the normative adult. To be a true adult was to have passed out of development—out of the realm of the pathological (savage, female, racialized, hyper- and hypo-sexual, etc.)—and into the realm of the ‘‘normal’’: to be a ‘‘civilized’’ man in present time. The female, the racialized, the insane, the disabled, and the poor were left behind, in childhood, while adulthood was strictly enforced as a ‘‘natural’’ developmental achievement reserved for the deserving few.

Childhood may be one of the only socially degraded statuses that, in theory, every person passes through. No wonder, then, that psychoanalysis should have discovered the apparent amnesia about it in adults. Somehow, once it becomes memory, we ironically cannot remember what it really felt like to be children in the present tense. (To which we might respond, of course, who would want to remember that?) But in truth, we know that many groups of people are structurally deprived of anything like a childhood in the first place, or they experience infantilization throughout their lives. These are two of the many denials effected by the ideology of the child. Childhood is only shared retrospectively by those adults who made it out.
