Dancing in the Streets: A History of Collective Joy
A History of Collective Joy

Jean-Cannes-Noux, my nom de plume, is a play on the old Jamaican tradition of Jonkanoo (Junkanoo, John Canoe, John Kanu) - one of my favorite cultural “collective joy” celebrations, as discussed in the book DANCING IN THE STREETS.

Some of the sensory memories I am holding on to -

Joining a public social network, I tried the softer approach to minimizing the “well, actually” trolls — mute ruthlessly, and block selectively (after a few questionable incidents).

I have been trying to remember the name of the movie I saw and enjoyed in the cinema that felt like it had to have inspired #StrangerThings and its #Super8. I loved that film so much I went back to watch it on my own (I was barely employed at the time).
