@trustablegenius I wonder about this sometimes. Since the 3 listed factors wouldn’t change the experience of being visibly mixed-race, I think I’d still have liked outsider stuff but I probably wouldn’t have identified as a punk. Pretty sure I’d be a hip hop producer with a college degree.
Watched it live in class from Natick, MA with my teachers who were all friends with or former classmates of Christa McCauliffe. She was the local hero.

@thefreakwharf @VernonShoemake4@kinsngops If the motivation we’re supposed to understand is, “humans behaving in their economic interest,” are we extending that same understanding to drug dealers, sex workers, Ponzi schemers, numbers runners, stick-up kids, and scorched-earth oligarchs?
@thefreakwharf @JustADude@kinsngops Except teachers don’t muscle for an oversized slice of the pie through violent coercion. Public schools are regularly defunded while police departments budgets continue to balloon with no evidence that additional funding makes them more effective.
@_keyerraj Some of it comes from music theory, some comes from something “feeling” right (probably familiarity), and some is a negotiation between co-creators. At least in every band I’ve been in.
