I am going to unroll my cat like toilet paper

Just want to reiterate that the Christopher Colombus Society of America is my sworn enemy and that I would lay down my life for the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association.

There's an old Russian joke, a man walks by the newstand every day. He looks at the newspapers but never buys anything.
One day the owner of the stand asks him if he's looking for something in particular. He says an obituary. The news seller says: "Ah those are on the back"

Also to be clear I'm not saying the impoverished are constantly stealing and *that's* why they're barred. I'm just saying they *oughta* be stealing at this level of need. The threat and reliability of punishment should not measure up to this level of desperation gdi

Diaspora isn't tragedy, it is the resiliency and strength of distributed and highly interconnected community.

In a place like the United States I see members of diasporadic communities cope with the perceived tragedy unhealthily. The only healthy way of dealing with it is staying connected to your people wherever they are and wherever you are. Those connections however limited are not something be be sad or ashamed of, they should be cherished.

Lots of good scholarship on this in diaspora studies, but I don't think the core lesson gets spread often enough. A strong diaspora is something to be proud of.
