this is why i’m saying it’s not just media literacy that’s dead, bc people don’t just struggle with interpreting a piece of text, they also just straight up can’t read the text to begin with
Death of the author is all well and good but it’s concerning that people have apparently decided that authorial intent doesn’t matter At All. You can and should have your own interpretations but it is vital to literacy to understand and engage with the author’s intent in a story.
Americans will never understand how good it feels to be Canadian and set off a random forest fire when youre bored that u kno is just gonna blow down south. That and rolling frozen maple syrup on a popsicle stick
how do i even get out of this situation. i need these pills to function and if i go to the doctor for help i really think she’ll put that i’m drug seeking in my file. i do not feel grown enough to deal with this on my own
me 20 minutes ago bc i finally started to accept that it doesn’t matter if my pills are prescribed to me when the way i use them is still very addict-coded and i am probably 1 bad day away from stimulant-induced psychosis
@bramleys01@juul_survivor they’re already confused, is the thing. constantly reminding them of a reality they can’t remember just frustrates and confuses them more. when i volunteered in the memory care unit of a long-term care home, we were trained to agree and redirect. disagreeing can frighten them.
