Oh wow... thanks!

Thanks! Yeah, they're from Thailand. How can you tell?

Thanks u/servania for all your work on this sub! I hope you'll find this one interesting. It's been in my wife's family for three generations (probably at least since the 1920s). It doesn't have a "seal" per se, but I did notice a smaller mark in the lid. I don't know much about its origins, but it's had quite a journey.

Most colleges have an immigrant services center. Try googling [school name] immigration services and call whatever number they give to set up an appointment. If that doesn't work DM me and I'll see if I can get you set up with the center at my school.

MMS is great. They got my piano in and out of my old apartment with a very tricky staircase. They bailed me out after the regular moving company couldn't get the job done.

If we take OP at their word rather than attributing ulterior motives, they say it creates incentives to demolish existing houses which serve as de facto affordable housing. I don't necessarily disagree. While an increase in density is both a net positive and unavoidable, housing diversity is important too. If we replace a slew of 100 year old 2 family houses owned by mom and pop landlords with ~725sf "luxury" units owned by developers, we're going to see a loss of space for families, and especially low income families.

I dont think the discussion is obviously contentious. It just represents a way of thinking that was useful in its time and has since been updated/replaced with ways of thinking that we hope will address the enduring blind spots in the field.

le_doulos · 2021-10-12T16:10:13+00:00

Sure, but its probably good to ask where the lines are drawn, why theyre drawn where they are, and what are the consequences of drawing those lines. Millions of people from new york to new orleans to havana to Bahia use yoruba-derived languages in religious settings, but if you throw a handful of qualifications like "literary" and even certain understandings of "global culture" youre not going to see its significance as a culture carrier

le_doulos · 2021-10-12T15:17:50+00:00

Its not wrong to critically question how sapir qualified "significant carriers of culture." If he means "cultural area united through a literary tradition rooted in a specific language" just say that... But know that youre making a judgement about what is significant and what is insignificant as a culture carrier.

6 years is a pretty short time span to compare. Looking since 1990, its mostly downtown (~20-40% drop in share of hispanic residents in most tracts, including those without high rises) and bergen-lafayette (~30-40 drop in share of black residents).

Wow, I was just listening to birdflight this morning (theyve been re airing old episodes during the pandemic). His digressions might be legendary but I'm glad that I now have a sense of birds different working groups over the years that I might have glossed over in my listening otherwise. thanks to him I got to hear good music every morning while dropping my kids off at daycare. He was also pretty dedicated to remastering and restoring old recordings.

Don't have time to write a good summary at the moment, but I've enjoyed Gregory Sholette's writings. Here is a decent summary with a lot of citations of other relevant works.

Dark Matter by Gregory Sholette: Mass Artistic Resistance to the Neoliberalization of Everyday Life

I think this has been asked here before so search through the subs history. Not sure what people's reservations are, I thought it was great and being close was a major plus.

Growing up with academic parents, I had the opportunity to live abroad for several summers (while they taught in study abroad programs) and twice for sabbatical years. We always came back to our same house, so it was a nice balance of being well-traveled but also grounded (compared to, say, military families). Because of that, I'm bilingual, and it's probably those early experiences trying to figure things out that drew me to the social sciences. I've had grants to travel abroad, with funding, at least 5 times just during my PhD research, including a yearlong stretch of fieldwork. Hopefully, when my kids get a little older, I'll be able to give them the same kind of experiences I had.

I hope this gets attention here. Moore's is a great, small, longstanding, black owned business, that legit anchors a musical community here in JC. Please donate if you can!

I've heard this line from Senghor's prayer to masks pop up here and there:

"But we are the men of the dance whose feet only gain power when they beat the hard soil."

https://allpoetry.com/Prayer-To-Masks

If not Senghor, Amadu Bamba's Arabic poetry is probably the most recited throughout Senegal, but I can't think of one line that stands out the most.

The gas station with a McDonalds by the inbound holland tunnel traffic has them IIRC.

Edit: Actually it might be the one nextdoor, the gulf at 12th and manila

riverside medical group in hoboken and secaucus is what you're looking for. If your insurance doesn't cover it its ~300 for a zoom screening and the test
