Voicing Pain Through Performance - NYTimes

I love teens. They're the coolest thing ever. And are generally much more resilient than most other types of people (meaning adults, older adults, and old adults). Check this out - kids dealing with trauma in a much more productive way than I did at that age.

History IS a Weapon, Mom!

Don't know how I never linked to this. It's called History is a Weapon, and it has probably the most comprehensive online list of leftist/revolutionary/marxist? literature I've seen. Lots of writings by a lot of different people - really useful to my boys a few summers ago, when they wanted to/needed to be informed of the many different ways fighting has been done. It's kind of lacking in BGLTQ lit/more modern material, but that's OK for right now. It has a much cooler interface here.

Funny story - I showed my mom this website, and she freaked out, and goes "Christian, have you ever seen this website?!?!?!". Oh mommit and her funny little connections...

I'm using this not for my kids, but for my own IR theory class. Eff the CS Monitor.
