Disruptive Mobilities: Unsettling Law, Space, and Identities through Movement
The onset of the pandemic generated a powerful, universal newfound currency for mobility. Around the world, many yearned to exercise their freedom of movement, even those who had long settled into sedentary lives. In this context, this seminar series asks: what does mobility mean in today’s times?While the practice of mobility has been normalised as the physical movement across space, its conceptual understanding reveals a more complex relationship between the body, agency, and the State.

While immigrants do contribute to rising housing demand,
they are not the primary drivers of increasing housing costs.
Instead, factors such as housing shortages,
restrictive zoning laws,
and shifts in housing preferences in the wake of the pandemic
are the more dominant forces behind rising prices.
Furthermore, immigrant workers are essential to the housing supply, making up a crucial segment of the construction workforce that can address shortages and …

Day 23: Thi Bui
Indirect CW: parental neglect, war, intergenerational trauma
Bui is the author of "The Best We Could Do", a graphic memoir which explores her relationship with her parents and unpacks some of the intergenerational trauma coming out of the Vietnam War. It has a lot of wisdom to offer about both dealing with troubled parents as a 1.5th-generation immigrant, and it delves deeply into her parents' histories in Vietnam and the complexities of the situation there both in the north and in the south. It's beautifully illustrated and very nicely plotted together given all the disparate threads it is working with.
I haven't read any of Bui's other work, but it looks like she's published a picture book for kids as well as a series of short comics during the pandemic. Besides Oseman who also writes non-illustrated fiction and the two manga artists Ice mentioned, Bui is the first graphic novel author I've included here, but I've actually got quite a few of them in my longer list, one of whom may make it into the 30 I'll include in this thread. These days I'm reading a bunch of graphic novels since they're easy to get through, and the variety of stories and perspectives in that space is wonderful these days, with a huge array of indie stuff that probably never would have gotten off the ground in traditional publishing/comics spaces.

MTG is still a 'MAGA loyalist'. She refuses to disavow former statements/insults, etc. (60 Min. interview), so she's just pointing out Trump's fall from grace.

Day 21: Aya Yoshinaga
I'm actually generally much less aware of the creators involved in the anime I watch, for a number of reasons, and the few anime directors I could name without looking them up were all men before I started this list. I've now got a short list of anime directors/writers who are women, and the first I'll include here is Yoshinaga, in part because she was pivotal to one of my favorite lesser-known anime, "Kurau Phantom Memory". It was actually one of the first anime I watched ever, but I didn't like it just because of that, since I've rewatched it at least twice and still regard it highly. It's got a pretty cool science fiction setting, an extremely cool barely-comprehensible alien race, a female protagonist who is not sexualized and not subjected to romance, and it centers a platonic relationship torn apart by technological hubris. Very "cool seinen stuff that wouldn't make it past the focus groups today" stuff.
Besides Kurau, Yoshinaga has worked on other great stuff like Golden Kamuy, Azumanga Daioh, Durarara, and Fullmetal Alchemist, and when you see a correlation like that between well-written shows and the same writer showing up again and again, it's clear there's talent there, even if most of these are manga-based.
Probably going to circle back to at least one more anime writer, but for tomorrow I'll move on to manga probably, since I want to space out all my YA enthusiasm a bit.

Last week, while the country reacted to Kennedy’s rewrite of vaccine reality,
Jay Bhattacharya continued his own campaign to rewrite pandemic history.
He did this by retweeting misleading content from an unreliable source.
A closer look at that source, and at Bhattacharya’s long-standing relationship with it, raises serious concerns for science-based public health.
