Sensacional o texto! Hoje mesmo eu vi um tuíte de uma pessoa dizendo que o novo single da Lady Gaga alcançou o mundo inteiro e diferentes culturas porque viu um vídeo de uma moça vestida de sari dançando ao som de Abracadabra. Como se fosse difícil outros países não saberem quem é cantora underground Lady Gaga 💀
I love your essays. Always thought provoking. No quick sound bites. It’s lazy writing to reach for stereotypes, and also a result of insularity. Bad art as well as painful. I have had the experience and I think you're absolutely right. Open curiosity is what's needed.
Excellent essay. I try to avoid becoming that “uncurious writer.” I suppose it would be easier for me to sell my work if I did conform to what would be expected of an older white woman to write, but…that’s not what I want to write. Or read, for that matter.
Thank you for reading, Joyce! It’s so easy (and tempting) to conform to expectations, but I feel that once we refuse to do that - staying curious, finding our own footing, and listening to others - the work gets so much more interesting.
Amazing text! You explain everything so sharply and beautifully. I still cannot explain to Western Europeans the horror I go through trying to enter Germany. I wake up in cold sweat days before the flight and I always get treated the same - harsh interrogation and random drug checks. How the hell am i always the random drug check and at what point it stops being random.

That's precisely it! It's never actually random, it doesn't feel it at all. Thank you so much for reading.
