Today’s Daily Create<\/a> asked us to illustrate an idiom. I immediately went to a favourite one from my childhood used to define untrustworthiness – “Quedar bien con Dios y con el Diablo”. In English it would be something like “You cannot have it both ways” and if you try, then you will not be trusted. The literal translation is: You cannot please both god and the devil at the same time.<\/p>\n

This made me think about a horrific article I read this morning about Kids’ You Tube written by James Brindle<\/a> in which the profit motive mingles uncomfortably with parents who sit their kids in front of autoplay videos. James defines this as infrastructural violence – something that comes from the mix of \u00a0‘someone or something or some combination of people and things […]using [the internet] to systematically frighten, traumatise, and abuse children, automatically and at scale.’ The article is terrifying in itself, \u00a0but his conclusion is even more terrifying to me: naming in one sentence much of the background discomfort I have felt about using the internet for teaching in the last couple of years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So I brought together my new favourite word ‘infrastructural violence’, the daily create prompt, and social media into a wee cartoon.<\/p>\n
