i love providing people with food and the discussion about free lunches but i need to ask a question. no nuance

bc i've found and packed and planned the nutrition for my food since i was in primary school and a decent amount of my friends did too. tuckshop lunch is seen as a luxury in australia. we used to derogatorily call people rich for getting it instead of like. a vegemite sandwich or smth. thinking we might need to change our ways

been thinking a lot about Australian identity and culture again.

i go through phases where i feel completely lost in my Australian identity, claiming that if you're not indigenous then you have no culture that isn't just the western culture. but really i guess it's not entirely true. Australia does have its own unique spin on the western world.

Australia is having bakery's or a fish n' chips shop at every corner. it's bare feet on hot concrete and hats with brims big enough to stop you from walking through a door without tilting your head to the side. It's baking on the beach till you turn lobster red. it's frozen cokes. it's using curse words in every other sentence. it's storms over sugar cane fields. it's dense rainforest and spase bushland. it's flat white coffees made on full cream milk. it's native Aussie flowers and a cool breeze on the coast. it's long road trips, covering kilometres and kilometres of land just to see mountains and cliffs and lakes and forests and end up eating pies on the way. it's Zooper Doopers from the tuckshop at lunch. it's the classic Aussie slang that no one really understands. and while we share a lot of those things with the rest of the western world, especially the UK, there is something uniquely beautiful about the way we live everyday life here in Australia regardless of our background. we may not have stories as old as time like most cultures do but everyones grandad has an epic tale about how he fought off a snake or rescued a kangaroo or off road camping and getting lost on foot and I think that's legendary enough.

(Johannesburg) – Candidates in South Africa’s forthcoming general elections have been scapegoating and demonizing foreign nationals, risking stoking xenophobic violence, Human Rights Watch said today.

On May 29, 2024, South Africa will hold general elections for the national and provincial legislatures. Among the campaign themes that have taken center stage is migration, in particular irregular migration, which is often accompanied by harmful and threatening rhetoric. While irregular migration has been a long-standing issue in South Africa, discourse around it has become more polemic as the country approaches the most contested elections since 1994.

“Politicians are using immigrants as pawns, without regard for their safety in an attempt to score votes ahead of the general elections,” said Nomathamsanqa Masiko-Mpaka, South Africa researcher at Human Rights Watch, “The Electoral Commission of South Africa, as an independent constitutional body which manages free and fair elections, should explicitly condemn the harmful rhetoric directed towards foreign nationals.”

The authorities should enforce the electoral code of conduct to address harmful anti-immigrant rhetoric by government officials and candidates who are not only addressing legitimate issues of border control and irregular migration, but are making foreign nationals targets of abuse.

Candidates are pushing a narrative not just that migration is out of control, but blaming undocumented migrants for the country’s ills and engaging in xenophobia, Human Rights Watch said. South Africa’s electoral code of conduct, which every candidate is required to abide by, prohibits language that provokes violence and requires candidates to speak out against political violence. In a country where xenophobic violence, including lethal violence, has been a persistent problem, rhetoric that scapegoats foreign nationals can all too easily spark violence.

In one example, the party, Rise Mzansi, in its January 20 manifesto, said it would “fix the asylum seeker system: stop its use as a de facto permit for economic migrants,” feeding into the narrative of bogus asylum seekers.

Herman Mashaba, leader of ActionSA, in a tweet in December 2023 stated that foreign nationals who run tuckshops use their businesses as illicit drug channels, destroying small businesses in townships and villages, and disrupting communities’ way of life.

One of the primary schools I went to sold styrofoam cups of flavoured milk for 20 cents at lunchtime from the tuckshop

The two flavours were chocolate and 'blue heaven'. Yes it was blue. No I don't know what flavour blue heaven is supposed to be

Why that tho. Not strawberry???

[After a few minutes, they arrive to a cell that looked like a solitary bedroom, everything was sanded down and only locked from the outside. The ventilation was high up, everything nailed down to the floor so that the vents wouldn’t be accessed that way. The size of the cell wasn’t as small as a prison cell but not as big as a master bedroom, it was also decently furnished. There was a window in the wall similar to a bank or tuckshop that can also only be locked and opened from the outside for food. It had a mirror on the wall, a bed, a chair, and a lamp on a desk. The cell was surrounded by barred windows to contain a person inside]

Interesting cell.
