Doing my family's homework
May. 10th, 2010 07:45 pmHeh. So it turned out my sister wanted me to help with her homework too, namely doing an interview about privilege for her Gender and Society (I think that's the title) course. So I spent some time figuring out how to record with GarageBand and then basically ranted for 20 minutes and then spent some time figuring out how to save it as an mp3, it was fun :D
It's nice discussing social justice stuff with my sister, since we have EXACTLY the same background and a similar outlook we don't waste time in misunderstandings and false assumptions etc, but we have enough differences (she's studying it at uni and does meatspace stuff like going to rallies etc) to make things interesting. Lots of time spent snarking about hypocritical narrow minded activist types (growing up in our family you lose the "Anyone who cares about social justice is awesome and special and could never be bigoted" gloss pretty young).
