Paulo Freire, born on the 19th of September in 1921, was a Brazilian philosopher and radical pedagogue most known for his 1968 work Pedagogy of the Oppressed. "Language is never neutral."

Paulo was born in Recife, the capital of the northeastern Brazilian state of Pernambuco. Initially affluent, his family experienced hardship during the Great Depression of the 1930s, and Freire's education suffered due to his own experiences with poverty and hunger.

Freire began working as a schoolteacher in the 1940s, beginning to serve as the director of the Pernambuco Department of Education and Culture in 1946. Due to the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état, where a military dictatorship was put in place with the support of the United States, Paulo Freire was exiled from his home country, an exile that lasted 16 years.

Freire then worked in Chile, until April 1969 when he accepted a temporary position at Harvard University. It was during this period, in 1968, that Freire published his most famous work, "Pedagogy of the Oppressed".

In this text, Freire criticizes what he calls the "banking method" of education, wherein a teacher "deposits" knowledge into an empty vessel, the student, or "bank". Instead, Freire calls upon teacher to engage in a more dialog-centric or creative education, one in which the suppressed experiences of the oppressed help create knowledge, fostering a social reality in which the marginalized are humanized.

Pedagogy of the Oppressed has since become the third most cited book in the social sciences, according to Elliott D. Green. As of 2000, the book had sold over 750,000 copies worldwide.

"Manipulation, sloganizing, depositing, regimentation, and prescription cannot be components of revolutionary praxis, precisely because they are the components of the praxis of domination."

I hit the range for the first time in a long time today. I was definitely rusty but it was a nice reminder how fun it can be to practice. I'm looking forward to sharpening up on things the rest of the year.

Thinking as much as I want some certifications for hvac I probably just need to rework my resume and learn some things on my own. I guess it will help speed things up on my end but goddamn it I just want a good job. I feel like I had a solid foundation down and my studying is helping but if I can't get past the application process then idk.

Doing sales work without getting paid for another week is hard AF. I haven't really been getting to eat because I don't have the money and I don't have the time to go to my normal food banks. Still got 2 and a half days on this work week and I feel my attitude starting to slip.

Friday slop update, here's today's vegan slop as I continue to doxx myself through visual journaling

Orange chili "chicken," fried rice and broccoli with a sauce that's more garlic than sauce

Everything is perfect except the fucking broccoli like renders out liquid as it sits in the heat continuing to cook so the sauce went from perfect to too watery
