the movement movement spreads!

THINGS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO KNOW.

[livejournal.com profile] movementmvt is [livejournal.com profile] zempasuchil 's brainchild, and is awesome, though I'm pretty sure those two things are mutually inclusive. ANYWAYS. the idea is that fandom/academia is totally OTP, and that revolutions/movements are awesome. always. the lady herself says: "so I haven't done anything to it yet but KNOW THIS: It is a comm for your squee and content of the academia/fiction kind, of stories based on Movements (social, historical, literary, ideological, meaningful!) and Movements that stories should be based on. post/link to relevant fics, ask questions, share interesting information, generally have fun!" fandom/academiaaaaaa!11!!!one! in short, it is AWESOME and there will be fabulous discussion of fandom and academia and fantastic recs, so you should join in. because of awesomeness! inherent in the system!

In other much-less-exciting news, I got 108 on my latest math test. also, on my English midterm (which was an in-class essay) a 100/A+. With the comments "brilliant" and then at the end "I continue to be impressed with your high quality of writing and with the maturity of your ideas and expression. You are a true intellectual." The thing that makes this totally relevant? The essay was written in response to the prompt "What technology has changed your life, and how?" and I wrote about the internet and fandom. crossing the fandom/RL divide in academia! wheee! interestingly enough, tonight and last Monday we are working on writing in class an analysis/rebuttal of someone's essay that online communication is empty and meaningless and ruining our teenagers. yeah, I'm doing a rebuttal. whee!

Your English midterm sounds relevant to my interests! Relevant to ALL our interests! Who the hell is this person who says the internet is ruining our youth? Rebutt for your life, girl!

I rebutted extremely! The guys name is Brent Staples, and the title of his essay was 'Things Our Kids Miss When We Let Them Grow Up In Cyberspace', or something similar to that. but yes! I rebutted thoroughly and completely (and perhaps a little viciously).

Yeah, we totally enrich your life. I'm amused. Is this for a course that you're taking at the college? I'm guessing you didn't write about fandom for a home school assignment...

you do you do! <333 heee, yeah, it was for my English 101 at the community college - you're absolutely right in that I would never write about fandom for home assignments. NEVER.

BB, I kind of want to read your fandom/RL essay. Because those essays are COOL. If you don't mind, of course.

And I need to check out Z's comm! ACADAMIAAAAAA.
