i could swear it's in the water. carried around in the air.

warming, violence, corruption, economy, interpersonal communication, everything seems to be escalating in some way. it's like we're watching the world devour itself. outward and inward. literally almost everyone i know irl has been severely depressed this past year. everyone is struggling to get by, and everyone is failing in their own unique and yet near identical way.

i hope all you guys find a bit of peace and do better.

but honestly, unless you're a prized member of some lucky alternate universe, hope is usually there to be shattered, in favor of some secondary narrative of fortitude that doesn't really exist.

this year has been a motherfucker, man. for real.

i did some mushrooms earlier this year and hung out in a big rapid river in the middle of the woods and mountains. ever since i've felt a lot better about the world, which is a wonderful, awesome place regardless of all the dumb shit humans get up to. its good to get out of yourself and into the earth; i try to cultivate that kind of shared consciousness as much as i can.

Too bad you are not with me here in Asia. Then we could have some green curry or maybe sticky rice with mango.

The term itself or the implications of its usage in place of others such "immigrant," et cetera?

hah

lots of 'expats' in Amsterdam, but all of them i associate with jobs in finance, or just better jobs in general. when you're an 'expat', your job pays your ridiculous rent.

I live in an area with lots of morrocan immigrants though. no one ever calls them 'expats'.

is that kind of what the argument was about?

whatcolor: i just visited manila for a couple of weeks. but i am definitely going back somewhere in asia to live next year. thinking maybe chiang mai on a student visa (i met someone at my hostel who was doing that).

smashingjj: yeah that's exactly what it was about. when white/western ppl go somewhere else to live, it's "expats" and if it's anybody else, it's "immigrants" or "migrants." if you google "expat racist term" you'll see that ppl have been arguing about this for awhile.

but i really shouldn't be arguing with the ppl who provide food and shelter to me...
