I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.

Bad

*Ray: nordic noir "They showed me how to survive but not how to live. My words exactly. This is a prologue to the genre Nordic Noir. Whether auto-biographical or fictional it's devastating, stark and evocative. Jo Nesbø and Henning Mankell would be proud of you. " re "Invalid EntryOpen in new Window.

*Sonali: judged "Yeah, like QP pointed out... I feel my temp rising just reading this. Again, a personal experience and the wisdom to not hate all teachers. When I was in university, I excelled at geology; but, a friend's death just before midterms meant I couldn't focus and I got a C. I can't remember what I said to my prof but he told me that he knew that I knew the material and that he would give me an A if I aced the final. I was the only student, including geology majors, who got an A in that class. *HeartO*" re "Don't let her cute plum looks fool you. - #30DBCOpen in new Window.

*QP: bullying by classmates and a teacher "Clear-as-a-bell memory, isn't it? *Care* Great details pulling us into your memory. I don't have any experience to compare this to. But there were problems in university and I transfered out of Hell. Mean people suck; kind people heal. U Kansas was healing." re "Invalid EntryOpen in new Window.

?Robert: personal "Kinda like Old White Men telling Young Black Women that their herstory doesn't matter as much as hisstory. Don't ever think that there aren't White Christian Nationalists and Nativists trying to wipe us out. When White Leaders talk about Legacy Americans... what do you think they're talking about? " re "I Did Nazi ThatOpen in new Window.

Viv: "I think 'meanness' matters as in 'dark-matter'. But kindness overcomes. That said, I wear black to perform poetry. *Smile*" "Dark Teacher Open in new Window.

Sox: "I think Life and Death play good cop bad cop. Death is the kinder of the two." re "November 24, 2021Open in new Window.

Sue: "Some teachers need to find another profession, but that's true for every job. I could've been a teacher of upper grades or university, never middle-school." re "That’s easyOpen in new Window.

Mike: "Yes... at a time when teachers weren't encouraged to know their students I suppose... I wonder how many times I didn't get into trouble because the teacher knew me well." re "Faculty foe [30 DBC entry]Open in new Window.

Cappucine: "Oh... Psalm 137 verse 9. "Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks." The OT of the Bible is cruel. I would say that Christians should know better, but many don't. The Wiblins of Lincolnshire go back a long ways (1200?). Hint: they weren't Buddhists. And like many, some came to Australia as convicts." re "Miss WiblinOpen in new Window.

Sandy: "Teachers from hell. I do understand the wife-doppelganger thing; but, the dean should've understood that the problem belonged to the prof, not you." re "No Love LostOpen in new Window.

Petra: "Yes. *Smile* Thanks for mentioning the flip side. There are awful students and *gasp* even awful parents. Does not sound like a nice place at all." re "Highschool teachersOpen in new Window.

Marvilla: "Well, the good news is that you have the self-control you didn't have growing up. *Bigsmile* " re "Darkest teacher Open in new Window.

Kathie: religious diversity "I ran into both [groups] in small ways that I don't remember. The North was no more open than the South. " re "30 day Blogging-Nov 24, 2021Open in new Window.

Jenn: "Oh... how our younger selves made mistakes, both of commission and omission. *Care* When I go to Thailand I'll make an effort to know more about the culture than I already do. BUT... I don't get the impression that they are a culture of mockery... at least not like the British and Her Majesty's colonies. I'm sure they will smile and/or laugh at my mispronunciations (tone is an integral part of the word, just like vowel length is in English e.g. shit/sheet.) And it's not like they are free of cruelty. Even the Thais point that out themselves. Othered... I don't think I'll get too much of that either as there's a certain amount of respect granted to the elderly... something I need to get used to. *sigh*" re "Invalid EntryOpen in new Window.
