It worthwhile circling back to this 2020 convo.

So much of Black History Month gets flattened into trivia about a few iconic figures. But as Jarvis Givens reminds us on Code Switch, its origins were far more radical: a project to reclaim histories that were ignored or suppressed. A good prompt to rethink how we engage this month.

"Joy is not justice. It's a splint. After justice is achieved, joy is liberation and jubilation."
[Code Switch] Is joy an act of resistance? #codeSwitch

#CodeSwitch #AntifaAF

This first aired on NPR a year ago. Now, after the 5 November election, it means much more for people looking to come to America to get away from the horrors in their country.

To go even further: people who •don’t• #CodeSwitch come across as tone-deaf and demonstrate an inability to “read the room.”

#DragKings #CodeSwitch #NPR

A very interesting woman, and drag King from the 1970's.

I’m not familiar at all with Taylor Swift’s music, but I’m aware of her as a global cultural phenomenon. It’s always fascinated me that she usually presents a perfect image; perfect lips, perfect hair, perfect outfits, perfect Pretty White Girl expressions.

Recent photos of her looking disheveled but happy at Chiefs games, congratulating boyfriend Travis Kelce, have made her seem less… artifice-y to me, more authentic, and more like a 34-year-old. I hope she makes it to the Super Bowl, and I hope she steals focus from Rump and the Rethuglicans right through the primaries, and gets young people interested in voting in November.

This week’s episode of the #CodeSwitch podcast opened up a whole new perspective for me - that she benefits from Pretty White Girl privilege in ways that entertainers of color and/or of size do not.

#NPR #CodeSwitch #MLK

Please search out Code Switch's latest episode on MLK. Very independent look at how, of course, we've sanitized the entire Civil Rights movement and King.

The Code Switch podcast had an episode on self-care.

https://www.npr.org/2023/12/13/1197954436/this-is-what-real-self-care-looks-like

Sadly, no transcript, so it was hard for me to follow. But here's a good quote:

"You can't meditate yourself out of a 40-hour work week with no childcare and no paid sick days," says Dr. Pooja Lakshmin.

So you know those #NPR stories that make you sit in your driveway after you get home because they’re so good that you have to hear the end of them? This one made me do that today: https://www.npr.org/2023/10/04/1197954102/student-activists-climate-change-baltimore Bravo #CodeSwitch @NPR

#Introduction

Hi! I'm Chunshek, a #Hongkonger jack-of-all-trades living in #Taiwan.

As a C2 level speaker in #Cantonese, #Mandarin, and #English, I've come to polyglot.city to connect with like-minded folks who are interested in #languages. I have studied #French, #German, #Italian, and #HKSL; and also dabbled with #Spanish, #Arabic, #Japanese, #Icelandic, #Hungarian, and #Ukrainian.

My next goal: #Taiwanese.

Come and #CodeSwitch with me as I share my findings.

Most speakers understand and speak multiple dialects, and #codeSwitch (alternate between languages/dialects) in different contexts (and sometimes within a single conversation with another person). (A (near?) universal example: as a teenager, did you speak to your friends the way you spoke to your grandparents? Probably not. You spoke different dialects, understood when to use each, and code switched in the different contexts.)

What does that mean for Hebrew?
