One of many reasons to teach adult learning courses: the students regularly make you cry, in really good ways. Today it was their memories of the worst of the 1980s AIDS epidemic & the best of resistance & solidarity in those very dark times. May we learn from both in our own.
Show PostYoung people (who of course have protested in RECORD numbers in the past few years, here and around the globe) are being asked to survive conditions they did not create, but somehow their exhaustion is a punchline.
Show PostGen Z helped organize and sustain enormous protest movements, including the George Floyd demonstrations and the Gaza campus protests. Depicting them as politically inert erases a substantial & exceptionally well-documented history of youth activism and also just fucking irritates me on their behalf.
