This piece on the abandoned Jacquard loom at RMIT university is great work by Stephanie Convery.

Last boost (Sorry, nerds, 5/4 is Dave Brubeck day) requires some context about Dave Brubeck's racial politics.

It is a reverse milkshake duck: https://thebigsmoke.com.au/2021/06/06/dave-brubeck-the-white-musician-who-fought-a-segregated-america/

@skinnylatte I have one of these, too, though it's now pretty out of date and much less well-organised:

I think I learned how to think about eating out from my SG & M'sian queer friends and uni cohort — you never just recommend a place, you recommend the dish(es) to try there.

PBS have a GREAT doco on the life and work of Maus comix artist, Art Spiegelman. You will need to use a VPN to access it from Australia.

I need one more person to submit a quote for some content development work. Must be experienced in the field of health promotion (distinct from public health). Capable of writing for a practitioner audience.

@skinnylatte you definitely have a talent for evoking the experience of real food grounded in local and diasporic food cultures

@skinnylatte not at all!

I blame @skinnylatte for this.

'Your Dasher is at PappaRich waiting to pick up your order.'

@skinnylatte Handmade beef noodles and kway cheup (sp?) at a market in Seremban — omg. And the story of the push and pull factors that influenced Teochew migration. My ex's dad was a great storyteller (though not to be trusted on the issue of Malay folks).

I'm really glad to see Rubiales was convicted but the sentence is a slap on the wrist.

@skinnylatte ok this is Jenny Tian, great comedian who speaks Ocker (basilectal Australian) with a super broad accent https://youtu.be/pd7-zJEFNQI?t=189

Foucault the anorak:

'a train is an extraordinary bundle of relations because it is something through
which one goes, it is also something by means of which one can go from one
point to another, and then it is also something that goes by...'

I feel like I am moderately good at talking about food and linguistics,

I have made a killer list of the food available in my hometown and maintain it despite not having lived there for 10 years,,,

I also have a blog that is sekritly about discourse analysis while tackling more bloody topics like HIV and mental health,,,,,,

but holy shit does Adrianna Tan cast my meagre talents into the shade. If you are not following her do yourself a favour and tune in: @skinnylatte

@skinnylatte omg you work THERE

@skinnylatte I just bought a zine called Trauma Dumpling made by Dr Xiu Liu, a Schema therapist! I haven't read it yet because it attacked me on page one by diving straight into 'unrelenting standards.'
