Look, I can't say I'm having a whole lot of fun right now – what with the collapse of democracy in my country of birth and its repercussions for the entire world.

But at the peak of the AIDS epidemic, activists had a saying: "In the morning we bury our friends, in the afternoon we protest, and at night we dance." Because joy is freedom. Laughter is freedom.

Doing my best to keep dancing.

Graffiti on a cement wall reads FUN CLUB in black spray paint. Next to the text in green spray paint is a drawing of a human eye, with lines emanating from the top of the eye that are suggestive of a crown. Sparse vines spread across the upper part of the wall.

Un/intentional street poetry.

(Sticker text, for those with small screens and/or old eyes like mine: "Every single person you pass is a constellation of memory and perception as huge and rich and unique as whatever is inside of you. The terra incognita of every gaze, Saul Bellow calls it.")

A close-up photo of an exterior wall in a laneway. The wall is covered in spray-painted graffiti and numerous torn and faded paper stickers featuring the tags of graffers. At the top is a sticker printed with the following text: "Every single person you pass is a constellation of memory and perception as huge and rich and unique as whatever is inside of you. The terra incognita of every gaze, Saul Bellow calls it."

The day this immigrant first discovered chokos.

"The humble choko is often seen as nothing more than a creeping wild vine across Australian backyards, sheds and neighbourhoods, but this fruit has a long and travelled history.

Originating in Mexico, where it was a staple food for the Aztecs and other indigenous societies, the choko travelled from Central America to Europe during the Columbian exchange in the 16th century. From there, it traversed Asia and, finally, came to Australia.

... While it’s better known in Chinese cuisine as a staple vegetable with various cooking methods, the history of its culinary use in Australia is far different.

... Chokos in Australia were known as a ’filler’ for low-income families during the Great Depression. Given the choko's ability to grow wild and yield plenty of crops, it was seen as a free backyard source of fibre and nutrition. I can understand why some people can’t touch choko if they ate it a lot in their younger years and got sick of it – I’m not sure I would want to eat it a couple of times a week."

A rusted corrugated metal fence partially covered by green ivy leaves and tendrils, interspersed with long yellow fruiting plants that are known in Australia as chokos. The brown and white rust patches create a textured background, contrasting with the lush greenery.

Nothing profound to say about this one; I've just always liked how it looks more like a painting than a photo. No filters or post-processing, aside from the most basic tweaks to black point and tone curve to fix some murkiness.

Ci-dessous deux ouvrages de #CartographieRadicale qui permettent de réfléchir aux changements nécessaires de représentations de nos espaces de vies et de nos relations sociales que notre projet de carte solidaire collaborative cherche à proposer.

Et un entretien de Nephtys Zwer à propos de son dernier livre "Pour un spatio-féminisme" (2024):

Kmart enjoyed its heyday in the 1990s, when there were more than 2,300 branches across the U.S. It filed for bankruptcy in 2002, unable to stave off competition from Walmart and Target, but has limped on ever since. Earlier this month, the last full-size Kmart in the contiguous U.S., located on Long Island, closed, leaving just five on American soil. For The Dial, reporter Jasmine Stole Weiss visited the Kmart in Guam, a little piece of America in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean.

‘The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia’ is now six month old! This milestone is a good opportunity to reflect on its dissemination and initial reception. In the new blog post, I discuss research blogging, participating in podcasts and other forms of dissemination. Enjoy reading!

Journeys In Film

We're quickly coming up on Matariki, the Māori New Year which this year falls on June 28. It's a great time to teach about Māori culture with Whale Rider, the award-wining film about a Māori girl who challenges tradition to fulfill her destiny. Make it a film-book pairing with the book the film was based on, The Whale Rider by Witi Ihimaera.

Our classroom-ready lesson plans for teaching with Whale Rider cover subjects across the curriculum, including a mathematics lesson on counting the uncountable, and a science lesson on whales and echolocation.

Mānawatia a Matariki!
