Still from Senegalese film Touki Bouki, where a standing Senegalese woman says to a woman who is sitting, "France? Nothing good comes of it."

Got my hard copy of /Who Gives to Whom? Reframing Africa in the Humanitarian Imaginary/ Many years in the making, but the editors are the best, the authors are super, and I’m pretty proud of my contribution.

When the cheapskate 73-year-old midwestern white man is fed up with your Israel policy, maybe you need to rethink that policy.
Text exchange between my dad and me:
Dad: When you come please bring a Palestinian flag
Me: You want me to bring you a Palestinian flag?
Dad: Yes I will fly it from my flag pole
Me: Okay! I support this message. Did you just get fed up?
Dad: Yes with Biden
Me: Absolutely. When I get a chance I’ll just order one to send to you. That way I won’t forget
Dad: I will pay you
Me: The one I found is $8. I think I can manage that
Dad: Okay
Me: Sent it. You’ll get it in a couple days

I know where I live, but sometimes, even at the doctor’s office, I’m really reminded where I live.
