Becoming Anne Frank

Becoming Anne Frank:
copperbadge:
The Smithsonian Magazine has a spectacular article this month about the ways in which we idolize and idealize Anne Frank and still at the same time manage to silence both her and other Jewish voices on the subject of genocide.
One of the most striking facts I took away from the article, which I have never encountered before, is that Anne Frank actually heard about people being asked to preserve their accounts of the war, and started revising her diary to make it a more pointed, readable account for public consumption. I’d heard about parts of it being censored by others (references to Jewish holidays, references to her sexual curiosity) but never that she had deliberately worked to create what we read as a conscious effort at chronicling her life for publication.
I had three separate classes where we studied her diary over the course of my education and any lesson that ignores that she was deliberately working to speak to the public ignores a huge aspect of her literary voice, and I’m mad about it. I love that she was rewriting her diary for public consumption and I think it adds a depth and meaning to the book that I’m angry I never got to explore in classes where I studied it.

…if you have had ANY unprotected physical contact with a bat: You need to go get rabies shots or catch the bat (if you can safely do so) so it can be tested for rabies.
In the US bats are the most likely animal to give you rabies. A rabid bat will mindlessly bite anything it touches and their teeth are so small that many people will not notice the bites. Unless you have had a clear view of the bat the entire time and are 100000% sure it didn’t even nick you with its teeth then you should get the shots.
…if there is a bat in your house: If you did not see the bat enter and have not been observing it the entire time it was in your house you may have to go get rabies shots or catch the bat (again, only if you can do so without exposing yourself to further risk) so it can be tested.
This is especially true if you wake up and a bat is in your room (it could have bitten you while you were asleep) or if the bat has been in a room with a child or incapacitated adult (who may not be able to tell you they were bitten or notice it).
There was a tragic case of a boy who woke up with a bat in his room, shooed it out without touching it, and thought nothing of it. Later he died of rabies because the bat had bitten him in his sleep without him knowing.
RABIES IS INCURABLE ONCE YOU SHOW SYMPTOMS. If there is ever ANY question whether you may have been exposed to a rabid animal you need to go get the rabies vaccine IMMEDIATELY before the virus is able to spread inside your body.
The rabies vaccine is no longer painful stomach shots, it is now a series of normal shots in the arm over the course of several days. There is no reason to put this off if there is ANY chance you could have been exposed. Rabies is not something to mess around with. Once you show symptoms you are pretty much guaranteed an awful death within days.
Bringing this back because a kid in Florida recently died because his parents didn’t know this information and waited to take him to the hospital.
Bats are wonderful bug-eating friends and important parts of our ecosystems but they are not for touching. Stay safe!
Unfortunately bringing this post around again due to another tragic and entirely preventable rabies death in the US.
The man never even knew he had been bitten; at first everyone (doctor included) thought his stiff and achy neck was due to a pulled muscle until the worse symptoms started to show up. His wife said they would wake up with bats walking on their bed and that they regularly removed the bats from their home with their bare hands.
Always seek medical attention for any possible unprotected contact with a bat. Rabies is 99.99% fatal once you show symptoms. It is not worth the risk.

A Remote Tribe In India Fired Arrows At And Killed An American Missionary Who Illegally Tried To Visit Them:

I’m glad this article highlights that if this man made it to shore and had extended contact with these people, he would have exposed them to diseases they’ve never seen before and potentially killed them all. There’s a reason it’s illegal to go there, and Jesus isn’t gonna protect them from chicken pox or the flu.
Like honestly who asked you to do this. Who asked you to buy a plane ticket and go there. Like just go to the movies ?? Live your life?? Eat a crepe?? Who asked you to do this
Apparently it was his dream since high school to bring The Jesusness SPECIFICALLY to these people on this island. He was obsessed with Robinson Crusoe all his life and as a child he used to “paint his face with berry juice and run around the woods with a spear.“ I’m not making any of this up this guy had a total fucking hard-on for the idea that he might one day be the white savior of some ~poor ignorant heathens.
Not to in any way justify or excuse anything this dumbass did, but he appears to have been Asian-American, not white.

I got so sick of the cheesy Christmas playlist at work so I snuck in a version of All I Want For Christmas Is You where half way through the vocals change to Welcome To The Black Parade
Watching the customers slow down and squint in confusion is giving me life.
This is the song
Tea what the fuck I’m howling oh my god
I love you guys omf
I AM LAUGHING SO FUCKING HARD THERE ARE TEARS IN MY EYES
OH
MY
FUCKING
G-D
LISTEN TO THIS BEAUTIFUL UNHOLY MESS
THIS IS GLORIOUS I DON’T KNOW WHY PEOPLE ARE FURIOUS
I can’t stop bopping

So one of our new vocabulary words is “malus”, meaning “bad”, and I asked my students if they could think of any English derivatives, telling them that just about any English word that begins with M-A-L is going to mean something “bad”.
I’m expecting stuff like: malice, malcontent, malnourished, or even malware or Maleficent.
Instead I get this one girl in the back of the room say “male” with the most dead-eyed expression.
This has the same energy as two years ago when another student said she remembered “vir” meant “man” because “it looks like virus, and men are a virus”.
One of my Latin students, whenever I’d ask if they wanted a couple extra minutes to review before a test, would always say, “No, we die like men.” And so finally I asked her why it was always ‘like men’. She said, “We die like men, unprepared and useless.”

American killed on Andaman island home to uncontacted people, body yet to be recovered:
fail-boat:
crazymeds:

onlyblackgirl:
rafi-dangelo:
Y'all hear sum? I thought I might have, but nope.
Missionary or not, if you go somewhere where it is widely known they don’t want visitors and it is literally illegal to contact them or go on their land, and you get clapped, that is your own fault.
Stop trying to colonize everyone and mind your business.
this man wasn’t a tourist — he was an intruder.
Left out of the headlines and first paragraphs:
He was killed on his THIRD visit.
The first time the locals shot arrows at the kayak he used to get from the fishing boat he hired to the shore. That dissuaded him for a day. Then he came back with a large fish as a gift. The locals accepted the fish and told him to leave. He whipped out his Bible and they shot up the Bible (as one of his missionary relatives described it to the BBC “The Bible saved his life!”). Still not taking the hint he returned the next day and, having had enough of his bullshit, they filled him with arrows.
What part of NO SOLICITORS did he not understand?
Also, they have no immunity to outside diseases. His presence could have literally wiped out the population of the entire island.
