“By the time I respond to this post at the end of the semester, I hope to have a greater proficiency in html and a better understanding of what can be done with a VM and why we should want to do these things. But […]

These are words.
Here are some more words.
What happens when I do this?
And what about this?

Here is my first blog post.
The above few lines are the result of my messing-around in […]
Brianne Briggmann wrote a new blog post “Moving on to an outcome” in the group American Studies: 8 years ago

I haven’t posted in a long time. I’ve been getting lost in rabbit holes every time I sit down and try to write a post, and I’m finding myself attempting to make some massive work displaying the parallelism Morri […]

“The more one learns, the more one comes to hate the waste of time.”

“Distraction skills are important because (1) they can temporarily stop you from thinking about your pain and, as a result, (2) they give you time to find an appropriate coping response.”

Brianne Briggmann edited the blog post Additional Comment on Parrots, Self-Harm, and That Violet in the group American Studies: 8 years, 5 months ago

I posted this little tid-bit of written thinkING as a comment onto the last post that I made, but we all know that nobody reads the comments so here it is as a stand alone post (A.K.A. it’s not worth reading if you haven’t read the original):

I wonder if Toni Morrison is furthering the symbolism of Rose Dear’s death along with Violet’s ‘dis…[Read more]
Brianne Briggmann edited the blog post Parrots, Self-Harm, and That Violet in the group American Studies: 8 years, 6 months ago

“Maybe everybody has a renegade tongue yearning to be on its own. Violet shuts up. Speaks less until ‘uh’ or ‘have mercy’ carry almost all of her part of the conversation. Less excusable than a wayward mouth i […]
Brianne Briggmann edited the blog post Ascending Through the Texts in the group American Studies: 8 years, 11 months ago

I will be the first to admit that I do not have much background knowledge on the Harlem Renaissance coming into Lewis’ book. I do take some blame for this myself as I haven’t done thorough independent research on Harlem in the 1920’s, but I’m going to shed most of the blame on current high school curricula. However, as I am beginning to read When H…[Read more]
Brianne Briggmann edited the blog post Some Defining Fun in the group American Studies: 9 years ago

Hello folks!

So during our discussion today when we were trying to answer the questions “What brings people together?” and “What binds people together,” I was thinking about how helpful it would be if I had the definitions of the words ‘bring‘ and ‘bind‘ right in front of me. Even if I had looked them up in class, we would not have had enough…[Read more]
Brianne Briggmann edited the blog post Churning Thoughts on Circulation in the group American Studies: 9 years, 4 months ago

In Parable of the Sower, Lauren and her group (well, really everyone who is not super rich) have had to revert to preindustrial methods of survival. (Disclaimer: that statement is flawed; those ‘preindustrial’ methods have been used in modern times, but not to the extent that people in Butler’s world have used them). Agriculture is a highly pre…[Read more]
Brianne Briggmann wrote a new blog post Research and Ramblings in the group American Studies: 9 years, 6 months ago

Okay, so I’ve been wanting to do a blog post on the relationship between personal pride and hermeneutics. Basically, I want to do a ton of research on the psychology of pride, and do more research on h […]
