The banality of evil

Sun, 13 Aug 2017 02:32:14 GMT

It's time to re read Hanah Arendt:

“Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.”

“The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.”

"Apparently nobody wants to know that contemporary history has created a new class of human beings: the class of those who are confined in concentration camps by their enemies and in internment camps by their friends."

Edited so we can raise our spirits:

“We humanize what is going on in the world and in ourselves only by speaking of it, and in the course of speaking of it we learn to be human.”

Help

Thu, 29 Jun 2017 04:13:01 GMT

This past month I did all the birthdays in advanced, except torino10154 (28) and pearle9240 (29), those I did the day before their birthdays and scheduled so it could be post on due time as usual. The thing is,they were posted the very minute I save it but with the date I entered. It might be me being tired or just Lj being a bitch.

Any idea what the problem could be? Me or Lj?

Cake challenge.

Tue, 27 Jun 2017 04:06:48 GMT

There is a Harry Potter themed cakes or scenes challenge at sshg_hub [ sshg_hub at Lj].

The idea is to celebrate the 20th anniversary of when Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was first published. Bake, craft, draw, paint/photo manip a Harry Potter cake and take a picture. Just remember you don't need to be a professional chef or artist in order to participate, the idea is that we all have some fun. (I'm planning to bake and decorate a cake even if I'm not an artist AT ALL, even Hagrid bakes better than I do)

Read the "anti-rules" here: Lj or DW . It's all quite simple and easy to do.

I want to thank toblass for picking what it was a very "raw" idea and turn it into a propper challenge!.

A matter of trust

Sun, 14 May 2017 04:19:50 GMT

I'm currently reading an old Snape / Shacklebolt story call A matter of trust by kais and josan . It's the first time I read this pair and I'm enjoying it. It's a novella set after Goblet of fire events.

In my health front:

It seems most women in my city decide to visit their gynecologist, as I'm unable to make an appointment any time soon.

I'd been shot with my vitamin B which make the brain fog and fatigue recede a lot. I was tired of feeling exhausted all the time. B1, B6, B12 are my best friends!

Career advice:

I met with one of my boy former classmate, a shy bookish girl who wanted to meet with me for career advice. She wants to be a teacher and wants my opinion.
I am a teacher, I love pedagogy, yet I wanted to tell her No! with all my guts. I refrained from doing so, as it is not my place to block her options. I didn't even oppose my own girl decision to go into pedagogy!.
I honestly think it's a hard path to follow, and I doubt at age 18 you even grasp the complexities of said route. What I did, was to present her the good, the bad and the ugly of this career avenue.
I explain to her how happy this career made me and why I'm not teaching at schools anymore. She want's to work in alternative education, so I tried to make her realise what that path involves in terms of life options.
Pedagogy trends in the era of neoliberalism is much more about standardised test, productivity and the reproduction of inequality rather than social justice, and child centre approaches. It could be really frustrating for someone who wants to make a difference to get into the system. It might well crush her, but isn't her right to try?

It made me feel a little cynic and very old.

An ethical question

Sat, 06 May 2017 22:05:01 GMT

There is an author whose fics I like: Josan

She haven't been around in 9 years. Some of her fics are at an Angelfire web page she hasn´t updated since 2006. Most of her work are at both her live journals blogs josanpq

or tales_of_josan , which were last updated during 2008. This worried me, since Livejournal announced last month that bloggers who didn't accept the new ToS will see their blogs deleted in six more months. I'd try to contact Josan through her mail but the adress was not found. (See Termination of Inactive Accounts by Administration )**

I'd been thinking about moving her fics to A03 acknowledging her authorship and the reasons why I'm posting them in another site, but I'm of two minds about it. I wasn't Josan's friend and I have no idea about her thoughts on a topic like this. I just know she stop updating but she never withdrew her fics from where she post it.

I'd seem so beautifull fics lost through the years because the site in which they were posted were shut down. It will sadden me to lost this ones too. Should I save her fics at A03?

Please share your thoughts on this.

HG SS ship 101

Mon, 01 May 2017 17:56:17 GMT

I hope you all are enjoying a lovely International Workers' Day! I am certainly happy to have a holiday (and, more seriously, the fact that I am entitled to work only an eight-hour day and no more than that)

I met a newbie to HG/SS ship who wanted reading recommendations. I responded in an improvised way and I'm not very satified with my answer. I just sprinckle some sites and authors, and I think I omited a lot.

That kept me thinking: if we mark Textualsphinx's fic Letter from Exile one Merciful Morning * as a starting point to our fandom, it means we celebrate 16 years of our ship last December. Since then, lots of groups, communities, archives has come and go, leaving its mark. So, if we were to make a "syllabus"-metaphorically speaking- to introduce someone to our ship, what will be the main topics we should cover? Who would be its representative artists and authors, the pivotal works, the milestones? Which question should be answer to cover our ship in said syllabus?

_______________

* Letter from Exile one Merciful Morning was not the first fic but certainly was the fic responsible for the expansion of our ship. ** The art it's from Usagistu and represent an scene from The Price of Madness by Plaidpooka

English vs Spanish

Thu, 27 Apr 2017 19:01:58 GMT

I hate how bad I am with English verbs conjugations. I'd just need to remember I know how to conjugate them in Spanish, maybe I'd be less intimidated by them.

Crossposting II

Sun, 16 Apr 2017 17:25:27 GMT

Thanks for all your useful tips. Let's see if I'm a good learner. My last 2 posts here at DW didn't have a footer if I had been a good student this post should have a proper footer. Feel free to comment at LJ or DW, whatever suit you best.

I forgot to tell everyone that I maintain my nocturnus33nocturnus33 name at DW, even If I'm not 33 yr old anymore but 46. I'm still trying to understand DW. I hope I have friend people properly.

Does any of you know if it is possible to crosspost from a DW blog to a LJ community. I want to continue posting at

sshg_hub .

Happy birthday Shiv! I'm sorry I couldn't post a birthday cake for you. I still haven't manage to fully understand this platform.

I hope you have a nice day, full of shoes, blonds and peacocks.
