How sweet it is to have one day (tomorrow) with no meetings, no classes, no deadlines, no rec letters, no toxic coworkers, no medical appointments, no strategic planning sessions, which means I can drink beer and watch Ghostbusters and not worry about waking up in the morning

I wrote a review of the new film adaptation of #WhiteNoise for Tropics of Meta. As an admirer (intermittently) of both the book’s author Don Delillo and the director Noah Baumbach, I approached it with a cautious but curious eye. It feels like a weird mishmash to me - like a film that got butchered in postproduction edits, though I doubt that’s what actually happened here. It’s a true mixed bag https://tropicsofmeta.com/2022/12/20/all-lost-in-the-supermarket-noam-baumbachs-white-noise/

@GilmoreGlenda thank you for following! I was an undergrad at UNC-Charlotte way back in the day, where I think you got a start. Big fan
For the last few years I’ve been working on a new project that shifts the focus on the postindustrial economy to care work. Not exactly sure what shape this will take but I’ve been actively conducting #oralhistory interviews with care workers through the podcast The Tactile World. If you know anyone who might have an interesting story to tell (or if you’d like to talk about your own experiences!) please get in touch

I’m also one of the founders and editors of the history blog Tropics of Meta, which partnered with the South El Monte Arts Posse to develop the #EastofEast project, which resulted in a book from Rutgers’s Latinidad series in 2020 and ongoing community arts and history programming in CA’s San Gabriel Valley
Hi everyone! I am a historian at Georgia State University in Atlanta, though temporarily located in Los Angeles. Most of my work has centered on the concept of the postindustrial or information economy, first through looking at copyright law for sound recording and the music industry and later through urban planning and industrial policy around the tech economy in the US South (specifically North Carolina)…
