i tell my students that they're obligated to give each other feedback on presentations, but i also always explain what feedback IS. praise and enthusiasm ARE PART of feedback. sometimes you need analysis, sure, but sometimes you also need validation + reinforcement! for creative work even more so.
I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

my students have come up with some amazing paper topics? mostly based on weird asides i made in class, or things i told them to go read later that were a little too high-level or deep in the weeds to put into the syllabus. these kids are fucking nailing it

things that have amused the whole neighborhood this morning: a guy rolling a cart around with a cat carrier on top of it, inside of which is a VERY vocally despairing cat. everyone that passes gets yowled at. about 50% of people are yowling back and cracking up

the habit of making one level in an otherwise cozy game some kind of platformer challenge, like you're farming and doing puzzles and suddenly you have to make timed jumps between vanishing stepstones, yes i am looking at you, grow: song of the fucking evertree. you son of a bitch

our first thanksgiving overseas was strange for many reasons! but i am warmed by a few things: watching people immediately rush to care for each other. seeing all the love + concern from our friends pour in. going to dinner with more friends and having them pull out gag HOMEMADE PILGRIM HATS for us.

unsurprised to see some international coverage of the fire focusing on the bamboo scaffolding; half the city has that up at any given time! photos from the morning show that a lot of the bamboo DIDN'T burn, what burned was the insanely flammable netting and styrofoam they used (wildly against code)

it's been dry and windy and we just had a big fire in causeway bay YESTERDAY, and now a whole apartment complex in tai po is burning! heartbreaking and terrifying:

when my father was teaching me to draw, he made a little outline of a dog, and then he turned it into a perfect simple sketch of OUR dog, which i can still picture in my mind exactly as he made it. i was awed that you could see something and then capture the feeling of having seen it.

i'm inured to a lot of terrible decoration, so the shitty little gold text didn't phase me. but when the camera pans to the GIGANTIC text at the TOP OF THE WALL i gasped aloud. please don't call this rococo, this style is technically called 1997 Newsletter Made With Microsoft Publisher
Below are two videos showing the White House vs Waldorf Astoria renovations. Can someone knowledgable about the relevant trades breakdown what it took to do each one? What was the process? How much human skill and craftsmanship were involved?

caving to the right on healthcare for the nth year in a row doesn't make you guys smart campaigners. it makes you insulated cowards who would rather buff the shoes of a pharma exec for cash than be a voice for your own people, which is the job you literally swore to do, "so help me god."
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

big uptick lately in students reaching out for [redacted] this past month and today i figured out why: someone has been intentionally sending them my way as a minor passive-aggressive protest against a bigger departmental thing. this is vague by necessity. but man did realizing make me laugh

it is interesting to live in hong kong, where i am a minority but not any kind of oddity, and then to go across the border and have people stop and take photographs with me without permission while i stand waiting for a didi. like okay. i guess my students can see me on xhs later like a jumpscare
