I do think that working with patients with neurodegenerative diseases would be really interesting and motivating, though.

It just occurred to me that with all the chaos in my life at the moment, I never finished Dirtbags.

Hey!

So are you moving to Britain? What's going on with jobs & stuff?

Summer classes start today.

While I am totally looking forward to my one in-person class, I'm also not ready. Burned out, etc.

I looked at my student report last night and realized that the reason I'm burned out is because even though it's only been three years, I have 191 credits. If I hadn't decided on this stupid double major thing, I would be done.

That's pretty badass.

Thanks, man. I'm really really tired.

Someone on my FB just made an argument that can be summed up as, "it's ok to fly the confederate battle flag, because Lincoln was a white supremicist."

Yay, my local street has been profiled for a national newspaper:

QuoteIn a solicitors' office, a lawyer who wished to remain anonymous said that on his first day at work, about 15 years ago, a man was stabbed to death outside the building. "I'm a solicitor, so I don't want to say anything against potential clients," he said, "but it's always been a tough area. I was assaulted at my desk once because I asked someone to be quiet who was making a lot of noise outside on the street."

QuoteAnother shopkeeper, who also refused to give his name, said that he had witnessed as many as six ambushes of young cyclists in the past couple of years. "They just rush out from behind a parked car, knock them over and they're gone. No one gets involved, and nor would I," he said, because the attacks were so quick and because he had already been the victim of a stabbing in another part of London. "I was off work for seven weeks and when I came back around a dozen of my clients told me that they had been stabbed too.

QuoteI approached a couple of youths pushing a bike and asked them if they felt it was a safe neighbourhood. "Yeah, it's safe," answered the taller one, a young man with a bold swagger and a furtive expression. "But not for you, so why don't you fuck off before I beat you up and take your watch."

The pair of them then walked off, as if they had fulfilled their civic duty. The threat was later repeated by the same youth when I tried to interview the owner of a cafe frequented by local teenagers. The owner decided he was too busy to answer my questions.

Sounds like my neighborhood, 15 years ago.  Two rival gangs in one housing project.

I still live in the area.  It got better.

Cain

Apparently this area has been like this since the 19th century.

And the local council also think rival gangs are a major factor in this, turf wars related to the drug trade.

It's kind of good that all this shit is starting to bubble up, because people have just been quietly suppressing their idiocy for decades and pretending that made everything OK. As long as they're speaking up, at least we can tell who they are.

I like how Obama said "we have to get away from the idea that not saying "nigger" in public means racism isn't a problem", or words to that effect, and the press freaked out because Obama said nigger.

It's like, great job illustrating his point.

I've been seeing a shit ton of tweets with people saying "If Obama can say it, I should be able to".  Apparently a lot of people were just sitting around waiting for permission.

What is especially funny is those people who think it gives them permission usually don't need any kind of permission at all.
