I'm grateful for the encounters, planned and unplanned, that give me insights into the lives of Burmese migrants and refugees living in Thailand. It inspires me improve my Thai speaking, and go back and find more stories to tell. irrawaddy.com/opinion/guest-…

one of the assignments for SEA101A (that I'm GSI'ing) includes finding a primary source in the library - hopefully generating more foot traffic for our amazing SSEA library.
If you teach in a college or university (or probably at any level) I urge you to give an assignment (extra credit is great) that asks students to locate a print book on a shelf in a library & to check it out. Most have never done this in their lives and they learn a lot from it.

Intermediate Burmese: Why might someone be oblivious to the sky or the wind (မိုးမမြင်လေမမြင်)? And why is the golden spirit that fell from the sky (မိုးကျရွှေကိုယ်) not reliable? Quaint Burmese expressions related to heaven and earth. #learnburmese burmeselessons.blogspot.com/…

In @Diplomat_APAC , @lukeanthonyhunt writes "[Burma's] opposition must do more." Why doesn't he call on ASEAN, UN, & the Intl Com. to do more to stop the army's atrocities? Does he think they have done enough? thediplomat.com/2023/02/its-…
