South African abroad. Living in California. Lived in Durham, NC. Trained in anthropology. I talk media, politics and books.
Two hours away from this conversation with @traciecanada.bsky.social
Tracie’s writing feels like she’s committed to care, reiterative care in the way that good ethnography can be.

After reading one too many picture books about cars, trucks and road widening projects, I started making my own transit indoctrination books for my toddler. But I've also been on the lookout for other picture books that elevate buses and subways.
My favorite? I Am the Subway by Kim Hyo-eun.

Watching the movie Idiocracy because I went to a Friendsgiving thing and it was all they could talk about.

Oh gawd, thought we’d left this sort of uncritical, blindly militant thinking on that other app.

Leaving that other app is attractive but it’s not practical. South African X is a kind of connection to home. To gossip. And news. And something of a national mood.

Weren’t we in this conversation the other day?@thedoctorlane.bsky.social
It was always foolish for the left and the right to believe that immigration to the US would uniformly benefit one party. Immigrants bring their own histories and mores, expressed through a variegated politics.
