Excited to present for the first time at #LASA2025! This Sun 25 May, 3:30 PM (SF), I’ll talk about how migration debates in Chile—yes, even over a toaster—shape migrant families' food practices. Based on my PhD in #ChildhoodStudies with 5-year-old migrant kids.

today is the official pub date for "The Birth of the Financial Thriller - Making a Killing in the 1970s"!

Helen Mackreath | İmamoğlu’s Arrest Ekrem İmamoğlu, the mayor of Istanbul, was arrested early in the morning of Wednesday, 19 March, on two charges –...

‘Erdoğan was elected mayor of Istanbul in 1994 and jailed in 1998 on the charge of inciting religious hatred. Four years later he led the AKP to a landslide victory. He may see his own ghost in the figure of İmamoğlu.’

RESISTE ARGENTINA 🇦🇷

I remember the debate from when I moved to Los Angeles in 1986. Didn’t know about Champaign-Urbana where I had lived in 1980. Interesting piece.

Always good when someone who bought you groceries when you were dead broke in Chile goes viral talking about US grocery prices

Ars bluesky

Cat sitting

No ur right lol

The exact same song has been playing when I walked into a smoothie store like four days in a row I hope the employees are ok

Working at an elementary school now and all I can think about is ppl who do this all day and go home to kids

Seeing someone who says ' prison time ' , a useful corrective

I almost said it's nice to have all my siblings in ny then I remembered I have another sibling sorry atlanta

It's almost like being a leftist means being willing to sometimes be wrong

In other news, the essence of being a leftist isn't being correct, it's giving a shit

Finally saw my brother for the first time in five years, noone in my family talks to him, it's so weird to be someone's sole contact, he read an Einstein bio in jail, interludes

Mm maybe lol

A cultural protestant saying energy is more nervous I feel and maybe less (other)worldly beings oriented

It seems like a lot of latin catholic ppl talk about ' energy ' now and I feel like the agnostic hippie add on is relevant but also part and parcel of the ... Energy that Catholicism already had w new language and prob some changed norms

Charles Taylor is interesting in a boring way

The most ny thing is I've gotten like four five books from ppl in a month lol

It's nice when you do part love your work. Hate love but I realized I have no interest in curriculum just adult education as social survival challenge. English conversation as module is so politically compromised and yet

Also got such a cheap apt thru an old roommate, unfort the world runs on contacts

No it's good lol

A glorious 3 days to BE SOCIAL SOME MORE

40 hour work week in 4 days is silly

Working means sharpies in my pockets for no reason

* 2023

Got an apt soon and job now, settling in actually a bit and u realize oh my life revolved around Chile 2010 - 2024 even the couple years I was gone and that's not true of anyone I know in the country and if I never go back I need 14 years of my own here and who knows how thatll look
