So I just learned about "Shawn's Resume" which was the Official Resume made by Shawn Spencer posted to the USA Network site sometime in 2006, but apparently the link doesn't work anymore so people have been settling for a summarized version on LiveJournal but GUESS WHO FOUND IT???? BECAUSE BESTIES IT IS ON THE WAYBACK MACHINE
Here's a link to Shawn's Resume via the Wayback Machine
The video links don't work, but you can still scroll through and read the whole three-page interactive resume :) You are very welcome
You talk about racism in some books and then go on to prize Percy Jackson without any comment about it's blatant cultural appropriation. Maybe you could occasionally try to expand outside usamercica too.
First off—I am a dual Nigerian-American citizen . I was born in Nigeria and was brought here to America; I spend my time between the two when it’s safe. I’m perfectly able to see the problems in the west…my country’s predicament is literally a product of western hegemonic ideologies and colonialism. It’s very easy to see the problems is america HENCE WHY I TALK ABOUT RACISM. As you literally pointed out.
Secondly, I literally made a whole post about the importance of critique literally including…Percy Jackson. Thirdly—the book is required curriculum in my state. It is absolutely facilitated by context - one of the first lessons I taught about the book was it’s take on ‘western civilization’ and how we can work (as students) to unpack some problems in it. I’m pretty sure other curriculums in other states probably also have CRP (pedagogy) that also addresses those issues. But like…I am a teacher. The book is required, and it’s merely a gateway into learning . Hence why it’s always supplemented. Fourth, I specifically work with students who are at least two to three grade levels behind. This book is the way I get them back into reading — while supplementing it with culturally relevant material. Yesterday we talked about how we felt about the use of words like ‘crippled’ and ‘mental.’ They learned about connotations! It’s was very cool! I also talked (on my last blog) the lack of diversity in the trilogy and the depictions of diversity in the sequel trilogy. I can be critical of something while taking it in. I — again— made a most about just that thing. But I guess u wouldn’t know that. Bc this was not a good faith argument and you’re trying to prove some weird point that I’m confused abt.
So-it’s weird you took a post I made about getting students into reading and having them engaged in the book they’re reading and getting them into reading (as many of them are feel stigmatized bc they are below their grade level) (which is…my job) and then turned into a gotcha moment…for someone is also not from the states. Pls stop being weirdos.
the ultimate paranatural theory of ever: death cult sesame street
aka why razor rex is connected to shred eagle — aka the crack theory that regretfully made more sense the more i thought about it.
1. the names! shred eagle and razor rex both follow the naming convention of (skating related word) + (animal).
yes i am taking rex as short for t-rex, and yes this means razor is as in razor scooter. a fitting namesake for a deity of death
2. the horrific deaths! dimitri’s POV this chapter included this little excerpt:
whether the death cult caused this incident or was formed because of it is anyone’s guess. either way horrible deaths -> death cult is a very easy connection to make.
reminding the audience about shred eagle by bringing him up again would also be smart from a writing standpoint if he ends up being plot relevant
3. public access educational television! a lot of razor rex’s lackeys match that vibe. fitting for parkour sesame street
- baxter and coach are both school teachers. yay education!
- mr sun. happiness sing song spirit, basically elmo but round.
-death cultists love math
- ….i’ll be honest this kind of falls apart for the fortune teller cultist and the trophy lazer goblin (The Mandrake). i feel like mandrake could be a muppet guy under the cloak? but let’s be real that doesn’t count as evidence
asmi. asmi i appreciate the dedication i really do but trending tags are decided by the tags that are overwhelmingly getting NEW posts. not reblogs. i am almost certain of this.
thank you plaguey i was going for the strategy of spreading good omens so much that people get infected with the urge to keep creating posts but sure yes if you like i can UNLEASH FRESH PAIN ON YOU BABYGIRLS LET'S GO
