if you like the stuff I'm doing on Tsundoku Diving and elsewhere (and you have some spare change) consider throwing a dollar or two my way! normally it'd go towards site maintenance, but you know, circumstances

Obviously I knew the environment in Britain was bad and I'm doing one of the wokest jobs possible in one of the wokest cities in India but I'm finding it easier to be gender non-conforming in Kochi than like London. Here no one gives a shit, no one looks at you like you are a subversive agent.

my friends who run a bookstore let me write a little blurb for Sayaka Murata's Vanishing World, it's more positive than my actual feelings on the novel but i also just want more people to read Murata outside of Konbini Ningen so

Incredible conversation I had with an Australian today where he asked if "people are allowed to own property in Kerala" because he presumably thinks we actually have a Marxist-Leninist economy and not a liberal communist party that does bare minimum social democracy inside a fascist federal republic

I think the UK rejoining Erasmus is bad because the Turing Scheme was actually really good, I got pretty much my entire living costs and then some funded while I was in Japan. For as much as Brexit is a bad decision people forget that the EU is a eurocentric cultural chauvinist protection racket

Obviously, much to be said and debated about the Communist Party of India (Marxist)'s neoliberal macro-turn, but you get to Kerala and the fact that you can get a decent meal at a seaside table at a restaurant run by the state and staffed by a women's empowerment co-operative is mindblowing

global south post-communism maxxing by getting a basically-not-coffee-due-to-milk from the state-run women's empowerment co-operative's restaurant before i head to work at the postcolonialism factory (getting a tour of aspinwall house from the curator of the kochi biennale)

I was craving mazesoba which I haven't had since I returned from Nagoya so I went to this place in London called monohon. It wasn't as good, and three times as expensive, as my ex-regular haunt Menya Kabuki just outside Yagoto subway station, but it was still good enough.

as someone who adores resonance of fate its interesting to see something like clair obscur being compared to it recently primarily in the sense of "(j)rpg curio" but people like clair obscur for its formal conservatism
