MMT is a technocratic response to a problem in political economy.
This is good from Grace Blakeley but I'd go further and say that MMT advocates (typically) fetishise money, failing to distinguish it from value under capitalism.

Brilliant week in Bristol.
Especially invigorating to present the invited talk, 'Private Education Capital: Beyond Caste-based Educational Exclusion as "Tradition"' at Centre for International Research in Education. I also gave a Roundtable Presentation, 'Epistemic Humility as Experienced Provocation' for doctoral students.
Grateful to wonderful colleagues who took such care, asked such thoughtful questions, and showed me beautiful Bristol with scrumpt…

Beckstrom initially did not want to go to the capital because she was concerned about feeling lonely away from home.
“She hated it. She cried about it,” her boyfriend said.
But with time, she came to enjoy the deployment and bonded with other troops.
In her spare time, he said, she visited monuments and museums, taking pictures and soaking up D.C.’s history.
She was especially interested in the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum

Just finished round 1 of #Thanksgiving cooking.
I have extremely mixed feelings these days about a holiday founded on genocide (seriously, official Thanksgiving #1 was "hooray we killed these natives, let's celebrate" which is deeply ironic/horrific given that the whitewashed origin story also did happen years earlier). But I'm a big fan of cooking and feasting, so that's what I focus on.
I'm vegetarian so no turkey.
I made "chiraji sushi" in my heavily bastardized personal style, as well as vegetarian stuffing. Both were pretty successful, although I truly regret forgetting to put nuts in the stuffing. I ended up using "smoky chipotle" flavor "better than bouillon" for the stuffing soup base, which pairs surprisingly well with the chopped persimmons. I tried doing microwave -> pan fry -> bake for the potatoes and carrots, and while they turned out good, they weren't as amazing as I'd hoped for.
The sushi (with stir-fried carrots, onions, mushrooms, and peas, plus fried tofu chunks and fresh cucumber and canned corn) turned out excellent.
Now I just need to decide what to have thirds of.
