While reading this and imaging what it would have been like were I in that professor's class and just how many epithets I could rattle off, it occurred to me that Black, female classmate of mine had been being called by an epithet as a nickname by classmates with no repercussions.

 

 

"Leroy

 

 

I think, at the time, I thought it was her father's name. That was something we did, although I don't think we started doing that until high school….

 

 

At any rate – there were never more than 5 Black kids in that class at that lab school where there was only one class per grade…

 

 

And I just realized that happened.

 

 

In the same school where, in 7^th grade, the basketball coach, the PE coach (and maybe our grammar/history teacher) read  Brer Rabbit in blackface.

 

 

At the private lab school….which I assume would have been considered progressive compared to the public schools.

so, One of those large updates are in order,


but it ain't happening.


Instead & in short:


taught college for an academic year,

and ONLY an academic year.

finally spent that long period of time at home,

free of credit card debt, but unsure about future plans,


still a bit alone.


currently off the wagon with sugar, beef and eating at all times of the night.

also got my first prosthetic tooth a couple weeks ago.

:-/


at this moment: thinking about whether live-performed machinma is theatre and how that could have been introduced into my syllabus.


actors performing 3-d rotoscoping live?


surely someone has already thought of this....

Time off makes me fat.
