Aug. 25th, 2011 09:27 amI think what distresses me a little is that some teachers don't already think like this. I get frustrated when something that seems so obvious to me is treated as a revelation; it took a while to occur to me that not everyone knows already.
Oh empathy. You are so very not my bitch.
re: social media, by the way... I'm going to be retreating a little from that (she says, as she crossposts from one platform to another...)
The more platforms that I engage in the less I engage; the more places I have to speak in the less I have to say. I've removed the twitter app from my phone and I think I'm going to get rid of my tumblr entirely, possibly the same with twitter, because if I can use an excuse I will, and reposting content generated by others is the biggest of excuses possible not to create content of my own. Haven't decided what to do with livejournal and dreamwidth yet, and google+ I haven't even really worked out how to use. I just... don't tend to see social media as an opportunity to communicate so much as a pressure to perform, which is a symptom of my negatively self-centered mindset. DNW.
In other DNW news, neighbours had a loud party last night and someone called the police on them; now I'm listening to people throw up. Always a good way to start the morning. XD
