There is Unity in our Community! What a joy to join the Tricities Hindu Cultural Society to celebrate Holi. It marks the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil. Exactly the energy, joy and renewal we need right now as we face challenges with the administration to the south of us.

Thx to Arjun of Charles Best for the invite and for your leadership 🙏#portmoody #coquitlam #anmore #belcarra .#portcoquitlam #pomo #poco #holi2025 #holi #unity #community #workingforyou

This #PoMo twist on "The Wizard of Oz" still holds up a few decades later. If you are in the Bay Area check it out. The only downside is it is hard to beat the original cast recordings by Kristen Chenoweth & Idina Menzel ❄️. #Wicked

This BBC conversation about (early) modernists, homelessness, and exile might interest diverse people in our network. For instance, @actualham might appreciate the link between material conditions and #EpistemicJustice. @reclaimhosting might get something out of the Virginia Woolf reference #privilege.
Personally? I find that this #PoMo era can benefit from more discussion about some Anglocentric intellectual histories.

overcast.fmNew Thinking: Modernism, exile and homelessness — Arts & IdeasDH Lawrence described outcasts living by the Thames, Mina Loy made art from trash, calling her pieces “refusées”, Wyndham Lewis moved from England to North America in search of fame and stability after having been spurned by the cultural establishment in Britain. In this conversation about new research, Jade Munslow Ong discusses the way widening the canon of writers traditionally labelled as “modernist” might allow a greater understanding of attitudes towards homelessness and poverty in the early decades of the twentieth century. Dr Laura Ryan was a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Galway researching modernism and homelessness investigating the work of writers who were literally homeless, including D. H. Lawrence, Claude McKay, Jean Rhys and Tom Kromer, and also looking at depictions of homelessness in modernist texts by George Orwell, Mina Loy and Samuel Beckett. She now teaches at the University of Limerick. Dr Nathan Waddell is Associate Professor in Twentieth-Century Literature at the…

I think we're reaching Peak Second Coming. Ever since Joan #Didion quoted #Yeats's 1919 poem in 1968, the self-styled US "center" — people who believe only in moderation, including moderate fascism it seems — have been obsessed with its imaginary political geometry.

A third of this #NYT opinion piece is occupied with the explaining how to apply this tiresome trope, including this gem of #pomo disorientation: "I've never interpreted the center in Yeats's poem to mean something like a politically moderate middle but rather a moral foundation, the ideological core of a nation and its people."
