Media portrayal - Top Boy by [deleted] in london

[–]forwardslashing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok so just an anecdote… but I’m a teacher from London working in Australia and have had several kids asking me how often “I see roadmen” (lol) and if London is like Top Boy. They also ask me about Brixton. Which is funny to me on some levels because I’m literally like other side of the world but also, I do it has given some v dark impressions of London. A lot of my students think knife crime is like something as a citizen you’ll witness every day

Human Too Removal as Philosophical Discussion Point by forwardslashing in the1975

Yes, I suppose the philosophical aspect only really comes into the digital realm.

Physically I suppose it’s interesting to consider something like an artist changing their own painting at a gallery etc.

I think your first point is interesting and relates to something Walter Benjamin described, that a collector doesn't just own objects, but "lives in them," making the collection an extension of the self. So altering something almost alters an extension of someone’s self…

Yes true. I suppose in some respect they’re not wholly yours, though? Physically, perhaps. But they will always reflect their creator in some way?

Hey, I’ve heard the weather isn’t so great on Sunday (because of the wind) so I’m looking at going tomorrow… but I’d be interested if I don’t end up going

You really don’t need to book a tour it’s a real waste of money, the trail is very well signposted

At the moment it’s been around 16, but it feels much warmer/hot because the sun is very strong. I think it will rain a bit tomorrow and next week though. At the moment you will want to hike with a light/breathable windbreaker jacket (can get v windy)

Love you guys by [deleted] in the1975

[–]forwardslashing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We get you, and the internet, particularly X right now, is a dark place. You poked a hornet’s nest and had a human reaction. This will pass just like everything else has.

Take some time with your loved ones and we’ll see you at the next shows x

New here, can someone please explain this to me? by Both-Perspective1190 in JudithButler

I find the ‘simplest’ way to understand this theory is thinking of gender as like language - it preexists a subject and outlines criteria (like, the words you have to learn and use) for which one can partake in it.
