Per Edgar Apanco’s reporting, Mexican cinema raised 10 million dollars in the domestic box office in the first 55 days of the year. Probably a record, very encouraging, slowed by the stupid Captain America movie wiping out many of these films out of screens while they were still drawing audiences

Farm workers sent us this pic from where they were pruning apple trees in upstate NY. Temps at 11am were 25° and felt like 4°. They shared that it was windy and the ice was slippery. They got a break every 2 hrs where they went to their personal car to try to defrost. #WeFeedYou

Me gusta la historia porque me gusta la ciencia ficción. El pasado y el futuro son dos territorios desconocidos: tenemos ideas aproximadas sobre ellos, pero siempre rebasan nuestras nociones preconcebidas

Trump deported 200 Colombians. None were criminals. It's critical that we publicize this and counteract the propaganda.

My book, Caribbean Inhospitality, considers what Caribbean literature, film, and digital culture can tell us sovereignty and belonging, especially in our current global crisis. I start with the Caribbean’s violent origins as a place of hospitality to strangers and look to the present.

Stellar infographic that explains how recycling steel produces a toxic byproduct dust. This dust is shipped by American steel plants to Monterrey, where it is further processed to reclaim zinc, which pollutes the air. This is how environmental racism works. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

For Christmas I gave myself the supremely nerdy gift of a subscription to the Berliner Philharmoniker Digital Concert Hall. They live stream their weekly concerts and the production value is insanely good. If you are a classical music fan, I highly rec. www.digitalconcerthall.com/en

Fascinating novella of a monologue given by the Iranian curator at the opening of a museum dedicated to the sounds of torture. The museum is not a monument to victims, but a celebration of torture and torturers. Disturbing and riveting exploration of how the state appropriates forms of critique.

Mark Haber's latest novel LESSER RUINS is fab. Propulsive stream of consciousness of an aggrieved academic who can only come up with titles instead of producing any actual writing. Bitter and funny meditation on how grief slips in and out of daily rants and meanderings, evasive and pervasive.

I'm sitting on some spare copies of my first book, "Colonial al-Andalus" (Harvard UP) and would love to find a good home for them. If you'd like one (especially if you're a graduate student or junior scholar), please drop me a line, and I can mail the book to you.
