Carolyn Forché on the fear of spirituality in poetry.

@RachelMinhee I know. This attempt to repackage noonchi is driving me nuts.

Every year in Gongju I get exactly two trick-or-treaters, my friend Brenton’s daughters, and it’s so much fun watching them get older and more confident. (Also their costumes get more creative.)

Paul Rudd dressing as Weird Al Yankovic for Halloween is all my 90s fantasies realized.

Gwangju + human rights 4-ever.

Print copy of Korean newspaper Jeonnam Ilbo's unprecedented front page.

Below the title it reads:

"Jeonnam Ilbo uses a 6 colour rainbow title, a symbol of peace with the meaning of respect for the human rights of sexual minorities."

Dropping in on my twitter friends to remind you that Parasite has FINALLY come out in the USA and it’s an amazing movie! (Also this article is excellent and spoiler free.) https://t.co/BgnyOfs6Uz

Oh no, not Elijah Cummings! RIP to a Maryland legend passed too soon.

[Jessamine Price @JessaminePrice]

Apparently everything happening is really happening and I’m not ready for that. Returning to my Twitter sabbatical.

[Jessamine Price @JessaminePrice]

@JohnEdwardBake1 @TheEmyll Um, no! Sounds alarming!

[Jessamine Price @JessaminePrice]

@notnowsaya Warrior Baek Dong Soo!!!!!!

@wetcasements Book Depository does free shipping from the UK.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

life cycle of a twitter friendship:

• shyly faving each other’s tweets
• nervous DMs
• meeting up
• cross-country road trip to escape your ex
• series of robberies with the police in hot pursuit
• bursting into a flock of crows and disappearing into the woods together

Gongju’s busiest night of the year—opening of the Baekje Festival. PSY is about to perform in the park by the river but I’m most excited about the fireworks afterwards. Baekje usually puts on an amazing display.

Important note to people in Korea this rainy weekend: iPhones autocorrect “pajeon” to “paleontology.”

[Jessamine Price @JessaminePrice]

Apparently Iyer needs to move copies of his new book “A Beginner’s Guide to Orientalism.”

[Unseen Japan @UnseenJapanSite]

Holy shit - Pico Iyer is doubling down HARD on this "beauty of not speaking Japanese in Japan" bullshit.

"The less my Japanese neighbors talk, the more room there is for surprise, and for them constantly to transcend my understanding."

That's, uh...

@nrrsp95410 Ha ha! Probably not this weekend!

[Jessamine Price @JessaminePrice]

Last class of the week FINISHED. I thought I’d broken my Twitter habit by avoiding it for nine days but apparently not. Here I am again.

[Jessamine Price @JessaminePrice]

@gerardgovers @BullenRoss Once again I’m wondering how my life would have been different if I’d been born in Europe.

[Jessamine Price @JessaminePrice]

@festerfaster Hee hee! I don’t think any k-drama has any realism at all. Not going to defend, just trying to figure out the OP’s unique definition of realistic!

[Jessamine Price @JessaminePrice]

Awesome.

[Jessamine Price @JessaminePrice]

@monetwithlove Whenever I get on this topic I sound impossibly cynical. I hope I’m wrong. I have seen a couple healthy relationships but that was in Europe where women have more rights than in the US.

[Jessamine Price @JessaminePrice]

@monetwithlove Do they exist? I suspect it’s ALMOST impossible in a world where women have fewer human rights and less economic power than men. Though the size of that gap probably varies by race.
