Pinned list of reading recommendations, updated February 2023. Please read through the various lists here, but remember they're limited by how much time I personally have to read books (not articles) #BooksonKorea #EducateYourself

@J23829J @TheKoreaHerald *vassal

@TheKpopProf @TheKoreaHerald Because that certain bit of history is being a loyal Chinese vessel state, the denial of which the modern Korean nationalism is based upon

To the Hangeul supporters, it is an act of confidence. To opponents, a passing trend. Gwanghwamun Gate stands waiting. koreaherald.com/article/107076…

@snowiecone C'mon, everyone can at least do Mark Carney and Justin Trudeau

gun to your head name a canadian

Sergeant Lee Ye-ram, a female soldier, was sexually assaulted by a senior and reported it to her unit. However, the military never investigated the perpetrator even once, and instead, she endured harassment from colleagues and superiors, ultimately leading to her suicide. In the Korean military, when a soldier dies—even if it’s due to harassment—it is commonplace to recognize them as a “national merit recipient.” Accordingly, her family filed an administrative lawsuit requesting the state to designate her as such, but the court dismissed their claim. naver.me/x8kT6GGh

@SubRosaMagick Most of them

✧ Happy Transgender Day of Visibility ! — In honor of today, we appreciate Harisu. One of the first openly transgender entertainers and the first trans idol in korea — Debuting in 2001, she has released 7 albums in Korean and Mandarin and is still active nearly 25 years later

@GovBobFerguson Thank you so much for working for everyone.

Today, I signed the operating budget for Washington state. My team and I worked in close partnership with legislators to craft a budget that allows us to continue meeting Washingtonians' core needs, while also living within the state's means, despite the harm done by the Trump Administration and MAGA Congress.  We secured important wins for affordability — including assistance on health care premiums to low-income individuals and funds to help low-income residents pay utility bills. I also recently signed the Millionaires' Tax to rebalance our upside-down tax code, which goes into effect in 2029.  We mitigated harms from the Trump Administration — including providing food benefits for the 30,000 immigrants with lawful status denied SNAP benefits, backfilling Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood, and funding healthcare for very ill or disabled Washingtonians who were kicked off Medicaid.  Our state agencies took $1 billion in reductions.  I'm grateful for our state employees who are doing more with less.  Thank you to members of the public who engaged in the process, my budget team, sponsors Sen. Robinson and Rep. Ormsby, and vice-chairs Sen. Stanford, Sen. Frame, Rep. Gregerson, and Rep. Macri.

@whitenothe @TheKoreaHerald His han-geul calligraphy went up on the gate made out of painted concrete. It's def. worth keeping in a museum, but it's not worthy of the gate.

@TheKpopProf @TheKoreaHerald But taking down and replacing President Park's Hangul calligraphy was also a denial of at least a certain phase of history. Should the citizens of Hanyang vote on this issue?

@laura53246 Roosevelt.

@TheKpopProf What does the R stand for? Naturalist Sy Montgomery remarked in a radio interview that the H in Jesus H Christ stands for "haploid," but that's probably not the actual origin.

JHRC, the sign is not CHINESE, it's the script Koreans used in 1395 when the gate was originally constructed. Is that script *also* used in China? Yes. Did they invent it? Yes. But Koreans legit used that script in Korea for centuries! Don't deny history.

seeing a lot of "higher gas prices won't affect me because I don't drive very much" and unfortunately it is my sad duty to inform you that your food does not teleport to the grocery store

If you are in grad school for #KoreanStudies, a summer program like this would be incredibly valuable. Not only would you get to improve your knowledge, but you'd be instructed by top professors and make a network with peers. icks.snu.ac.kr/main/en/sub/co… docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

I feel bad for the parents situation but this is hilarious

@rebeccanagle Was she pretending or honest about not being native?

Look like the first Native American curator at the Met…. was not Native. She quietly left the role in December. What hurts the most with pretendians sometimes is that they take prominent positions that should go to actual Native ppl. artnews.com/art-news/news/…

@JamesAFurey C'mon, who does that? Or are you talking middle school?

It just hit me that half the reason many teachers don’t want to switch to a more low tech classroom environment is because they want to keep using AI to grade.

@vickibum Kkkkkkkkk

OMIGOD GUYS this new 5th gen bg just debuted!!! I think their name is shinny?? Shiny??? IDK I think my bias will be the gay one

@nickimoraa They aren't by everyone

Why is that students who are smart in math and science are considered smarter than students who are smart in English and history?

New thread for zoom talks. These are the one good thing to come out of the pandemic. Check time zones carefully, but really, no one will challenge your right to listen in on these talks, just log on and learn^^ Most talks will be Korea or East Asia related.

@taeguide Korean politicians say things like this, but changing the education system is not easy, and they really can't effect that change as a single National Assembly person.

[INFO] Inspired by Taehyung’s determination to learn English, Kim Young-bae, a preliminary candidate for Seoul Superintendent of Education has now urged the schools in Seoul to change the direction of Seoul education regarding English; proposing a transition to an education system where children can listen, speak, write, and express themselves in English fluently He emphasized that “English is not a subject for getting the right answers, but a tool for communication that connects with the world,” the candidate proposed a transition from rote memorization to application-based instruction, the establishment of systems to strengthen speaking, listening, presentation, and discussion competencies within schools

@podsekalnikov I sometimes remember to overview the point of that day's class and how it connects to other classes.

Teaching question: do you present learning outcomes at the beginning of your classes? Or is this, as I suspect, an administrative language reserved for syllabuses and teaching demonstrations?
