sent an email to my 10th grade social studies teacher today thanking him for making us watch Manufacturing Consent and read Arendt and unfortunately preparing me to understand the last few decades, because I thought it might be a nice thing to tell him on a shitty day
(I did not tell him that I was thinking of pivoting to becoming a high school social studies teacher)
@ingrid I mailed a letter to an important high school teacher (also social studies) thanking him, a few years ago, and he replied and said he'd had a traumatic brain injury and couldn't remember anyone he'd taught. We exchanged a couple emails anyway. I have filed that away in "do not know how to file/process" section of brain/psyche
@inquiline oh man, that's such a bizarre situation to be in.
