  1. SUBTLE, FASCINATING BOLIVIAN novel plays with layers of meta narrative to tell two stories: one of a teenage tragedy, and one of a writer decades later trying to make sense of that incident, and of his adolescence. Stunning! A MINUS

  2. Tubefilter: Dubai continues its creator-wooing efforts with a splashy Amazon partnership. “In 2024, the United Arab Emirates announced a $40.8 million governmental initiative entirely dedicated to wooing international content creators, so they would come live and work in the region. Part of the initiative involved offering creators fast-track access to Golden Visas, which will let them, their […]

  3. James Baldwin's "Giovanni's Room" impressed me both for its exploration of love, sex, and sexual identity and for the skill with which the author has the narrative unfold; I was gripped from beginning to end.

    Although the protagonist is white, I know that some critics believe that the theme of race is obliquely present by virtue of the salience of various kinds of minority identity throughout the novel.

    Quite aside from it being a "good read", I would recommend it to anybody interested in the literary treatment of bisexuality.

    Expatriation also figures as an important theme. These words hit home with this migrant:

    >> You don't have a home until you leave it and then, when you have left it, you never can go back. <<

    "Home", of course, can be more than a geographical location.

  13. "#Russia's 'anti-#woke #visa' woos #Western #expatriates

    #Moscow's "Shared Values Visa" welcomes #conservative migrants who are against #LGBTQ+ rights or globalism in general. Russia, meanwhile, uses the newcomers for #propaganda"

    We can have a lot of different reactions to this

    Mine is very simple:

    Go

    Bon voyage

    Have a nice trip assholes. Enjoy the sinking ship under #Putin's #ethnofascist #imperialist government

    Bye, Felicia

  14. Giovanni’s Room. By James Baldwin.

    You are a young, dashing American idling in Paris in the early 20th century, and you meet a waiter, and move in with him while your girlfriend is in Spain; you feel you love him, but you struggle to understand what that could really mean.

  15. #Austria has a great system for mail-in #ballots for #expatriates (federal and EU #elections). Except that that time allotted is too short. #Mail has become s l o w, but Austrian #election #law hasn't caught up. Even though I immediately take my ballot to the #post office, I never know if my #vote will make it in time.

  16. I frequently see comments and videos like this where #expatriates in Germany find it difficult to make local connections and friends because Germans are culturally slow to "warm up" to strangers.

    Which is generally true, but on the other hand I have enjoyed playing "cultural guide" to foreigners coming to Germany in the past. So I am wondering: How can I connect to expatriates who might be in need of such guidance?

  18. My family can relate to this article.

    ( #Diaspora #guilt refers to a #culpability that #expatriates feel when living away from their country. When their nation trudges through periods of #crisis and #instability , expatriates witnessing their nation suffer, unable to help, suffer in solidarity with their countrymen; while some feel helpless, others are empowered to cause change.)

  22. Regarding Japan's longstanding ban on dual #citizenship, an Asahi Shimbun editorial asahi.com/ajw/articles/1484632 is fine as far as it goes, but it focuses on the type of #Japanese #expatriates in #Europe who are suspected of changing #nationality to evade taxes. To us #immigrants in #Japan, it is more important that our half-Japanese "haafu" kids and others should not feel forced to choose one cultural allegiance simply because #biculturalism is not recognized or understood here. See "Dual Nationality in Japan: Learning to Love Ambiguity" at academia.edu/38566597 or shingetsunewsagency.com/2019/0
    The law is not enforced in Japan, so it can be like a joke that vaccination makes three passports. Our happy-go-lucky sons have no conception of what it would be like to be an outsider or to agonize over their cultural #identity.
    Once I tried to explain "What it Means to Be Bicultural" - at academia.edu/36008217 or childresearch.net/papers/langu
    How about this issue in your country or region?
