i was hiking with a friend in shenandoah (adjacent/intersects with the appalachian trail) and on our descent i was explaining very loudly some taylor swift drama, particularly the situation where her exploitative manager had control of her masters. and two cute hikers on the way up overheard me were...

"How to Make a Mask": Quarantine Feminism and Global Supply Chains Minh-Ha T. Pham writes about the political economy of mask making and about the global supply chain as a racial project. For those interested: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bIGpR9ell_h2w82d2CbGg9mODZQ5tXVZ/view?usp=shar...

watched "the wild goose lake" which was directed by diao yinan. i enjoyed it. apparently some people like diao's "black coal, thin ice" more. this might be a mundane observation, but i've gotten more relaxed about my movie watching. i used to have these two types that i'd sort al...

voting is genocide management or, if you prefer, the reform of genocide. (edit: and sometimes that work is important or all that can be done) (2nd edit: referring here to the US context of presidential voting) if someone votes, fine. if someone doesn't, fine. what is important to recognize is that t...

titkitten thanks for the thorough engagement! sorry that it's taken a while to respond. i agree with the points you've made, which also go along with pham's argument, i.e., i don't think there's a way to think about something like "justice" via the flawed framework of ethical consumerism....

@innit not an expert, but you might wanna check out "the specter of global china" by ching lee. it takes an ethnographic approach re: the ccp's economic presence in africa

not sure if this is the right place, but Minh-ha T. Pham is someone that i follow to learn more about the racial, gender, and class dimensions in fashion. i wanted to plug some of the things that she works on because it's GOOD. she writes *against* the popular move to locate the deep problems of fas...

where should i start if i'm trying to get into hou hsiao hsien?

"sweet bean" by naomi kawase was incredible for me
"shoplifters" and "our little sister" by koreeda hirokazu are both very good too

On the topic of Da Silva, does anyone have a link to her collaboration films with Arjuna Neuman, 'four waters' and 'serpent rain'? Been struggling to find a way to watch them (even legally!!) since they were screened at my uni last year (followed by a discussion by Da Silva and Neuman!!), and would...

hi, i'm new to care tags

ek :- )

(sorry that it has taken a while for me to respond) i think you raise a good question: can we be specific about where the issue resides, in this specific case of a white wearing a white-designed pair of cargo pants with the image of an asian woman? at least in the context of the white west (whose sy...

trying to read more denise da silva, working with otobong and i liked this text she wrote: https://www.e-flux.com/journal/79/94686/1-life-0-blackness-or-on-matter-beyond-the-equation-of-value/ so what should i read next? 'toward a global idea"? yo, feel free to DM me about silva!! i'm still en...

damn, yeah, sorry julio, for not being clear about who i was addressing. i was responding to some nasty comments made by whites in the rep comments, so i'm sorry for putting you through that ambiguity. that's totally my bad. thanks titkitten too!! agreed on your point about resisting monolithic char...

this is so hilarious to me. the second any non-white person stands up for themselves, you white folks stop being congenial and ask us to "explain ourselves"

google is available beloveds, just go to search bar & type in the thing that is weighing your conscience down

anyone here that reads denise ferreira da silva or sylvia wynter?? i love them both

^ white boys do literally anything w/o fetishizing asian women via an aesthetic flattening challenge failed

also for the ppl who are voicing dissent, feel free to do it in public & with your chest. hiding ur sexist racism in 2019 is so weak and boring lmao

.....

some eg and ts(s) from fall 2017. hope you're all doing good!
