Okay, so I'm eating my cereal and milk and turned the television on ...
And the saucy Judge Penny on that show Family Court is dealing with a case where one cousin borrowed 170 dollars from another cousin and now they are fighting...
But before I flipped the channel... I just watched for a few minutes (the way Judge Penny was talking - her "discourse" was pretty cool) ...
And before I know it, she was talking about the language of texting, the power of language, and then also brought in the whole idea about how the medium of "fighting over money" over texting leads to more anger than when you talk in person ... Anyhow, the whole thing was DRAMA, but what amazed me was that between Judge Penny's own use of language and law (not following the Whiteness protocol) and then also her way of situating digital literacies and their relationship to society, I was like... Damn, so these folks are at least BEING REAL ...and this felt more real than other discourses that negate multiple literacies...
Or maybe I'm just distracted and and starting to seeeeeeee thiiiisssss stuufffff everywhere :)
