Obama has won more primaries and my new Obamaholism, as the Field Negro puts it, is waxing. And if teaching for change had ever been my first priority in life, I would have done something like this and not what I do now.
I am considering doing it. No, I am not. Because I am a dichotomy – were I to renounce my YURPIE [Young Urban Research Professional] desires, I would take no half measures, I would join a revolutionary cell.
This is a disambiguation post. The search term which most often leads people to this blog is “becoming a professor.” They then discover this post, which discusses their question in a personal way, but the information I suspect they are really looking for, on going to graduate school and beyond, is in this one.
I like both, although each is strangely dated in its way. Perhaps it is the sixth sun growing. Perhaps I have transformed myself. Things look far more as they did before Reeducation, when I still thought there was a future.
Axé.

Social justice is a good thing to work for. Check out my site for a T-shirt design I ordered which will be the shirts for the instructors teaching women’s self-defence in Zimbabwe. An initiative of myself and one Stewart Makuvise. Also check out this general introduction sheet, wherein my somewhat revised views of Dambudzo Marechera’s situation, character and project are represented.
Ah, but I have felt tired ever since some time last week when I had a mild digestive disorder. I kept doing all sorts of things as usual, including attending a Humanistic society even to introduce people to the Secular Party of Australia.
But this week, I think I need a couple of days in which to take it easier (–but never quite precisely “easy”).
Today also happens to be the inaugural “Sorry” day for the stolen generation of Aboriginals. Check for more information on Google.
Paper looks good – I have to read more slowly, now that I am also becoming a Marechera nut. T-shirts also.
Social justice, yes, but it is what I want to go to law school for – I’m research-1, not teaching-1, which doesn’t mean I’m anti-teaching, it’s just…
You’ve been getting a lot done and *should* rest – although of course, not stop!
The “paper” isn’t quite a paper yet — but it is sufficiently one that I can move back to writing about The Black Insider. I had to write those points down to give myself the sense of the framework I’m using.
