- This Asian Boss doc was eye-opening as a daughter of Filipino immigrants N. America.Colonisation set up an economy that focused on exporting labour instead of building strong local industries. That pattern never really went away youtube.com/watch?v=lXm5...
- The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is one of the most existential, contemplative, magically feminist political games I’ve ever played. A meditation on power, solidarity, consequence, and choice. There's divination and sisterhood. I need there to be another game! And longer! share.google/20Ba7bRwbsiv...

- Reposted by Sharleen Estampador, PhD (she/her)“Shot dead” is passive. “murdered” names the actor. Words matter, especially when the state is pulling the trigger.

- 'So-called “tradwives”, referring to female content creators who promote traditional gender roles on social media, are another example.' Effective talking point when addressing #gender in my classes. share.google/bQSYxRVpgftG...

- Taught primitive accumulation today,historical moment where people pushed off their land, had to sell crops/labour to survive. Medieval/early-modern cities were swamped by starving crowds begging for food. I said, this must've influenced the image of the zombie. Have to engage them somehow 🧟♀️

- A small but meaningful academic win today. reviewer 1 described my article as “An interesting and underexplored topic, with extensive and convincing use of literature.” Feeling encouraged as I head into revisions.

- Video games can teach us so much. They let us explore moral gray zones, engage with complex histories. Like cinema, games tell stories that deepen empathy. This one explores how a game reimagines African artifacts and the question of cultural return: 🔗 edition.cnn.com/world/africa...
