My title is, "Who cares what it means. What does it say?" I'm most passionate about my students learning to read. It seems that for many of them texts in philosophy and political theory are just blurry zones of overlapping type. Words don't seem to be words. Sentences aren't sentences. Instead, type is opportunity for them to project, emote, identify, reject, or opine. If they could read, that is, if they could get to the point where they can start figuring out what a text says, then I might be able to talk with them about ways that it might mean something.

I stared at this image for a long time but I couldn't get it to go 3D. My daughter couldn't either. Fail.
