#Unlearning
Time to learn AND unlearn!

Are you learning your place? To be a waddling tyke, dependant on others for care

Are you unlearning pesky old habits? Like how to hold a fork, or how to use the potty

If you’re going to be a good munchkin, you gotta always be doing both

learning and unlearning

Alright folks. I am interviewing the great @timnitgebru.blacksky.app on @thefirethesetimes.com about her book Deep Unlearning soon.

Send me questions you’d like to ask / DM them!
My mom calls this dress "the table cloth dress." You'll see from my book, DEEP UNLEARNING, that this is par for the course. Like the time she responded to my first profile by telling me not to let it get to my head 😂

You can preorder @ www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U...

I’d ask you to use human words, but it’s good you’re unlearning them

Great idea!

"Green Thinking" promotes unlearning.

Rather than building on (frequently dodgy or just wrong) ideas in science, economics & politics that got us into the polycrisis, lets rediscover, rethink and reshape our approaches. Bring story & science together

Nasa has learned that when congressional budgets get tough it's helpful to show missions are aligned with what the science community says is most important vs what a political appointee thought would be cool. Maybe unlearning that however
We now have two large planetary missions that are not based upon the science priorities established in the decadal surveys.

Simple: white supremacy.

It’s was about what it’s always about: ‘keeping blacks and browns in their place’ (so white people didn’t have to do the work of unlearning racism, and sharing spaces with ‘those negroes’).

🤷🏾‍♀️

Unlearning (the word) is a bit much for you imo
November 6, 2026 at 5:43 PM
still unlearning so much crap I thought I had to do that didn't serve my art or me at all

When I write about unlearning paternalism self determination is a repeating theme.
It benefits paternalism to primer ppl to offset sociopolitical responsibilities on perceptively "more monied, and better at xyz" type of oligarchs.

Utterly brain dead unlearning Tory Party, still the 'nasty party', actually yearning to get back to being that. One Nation Conservative values long gone into the mists of history.

This is one of those things I had to unlearn in the process of unlearning rape culture. Same with the term “butthurt.”
When you say someone will get theirs in prison what you are saying is that rape is a just punishment for bad behavior, which is rape culture, which is the very thing that creates and supports Russell Brands in the first place

I will absolutely block long term mutuals over it

This is such an under discussed struggle! I love this graphic from Robert Eaglestone’s “Doing English” and use it in basically every class I teach now. It takes some serious unlearning for students to trust themselves & understand there isn’t “one right answer” when interpreting texts.

Unlearning shame starts at home.
When we grow up in a family environment where social naturism is normalised, body confidence becomes second nature. Naturism removes the secrecy and taboos around , teaching the younger that every body is natural, valid, and worthy of respect.

Great video on "Brazilianization" of the world. Or why neoliberal reforms and austerity leads to the expansion of the service economy with low growth and stagnating wages.
