Today again I'm just a fan, please, bear with me 😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykFH...

My rant today 😤 I have to read every day how people who know nothing about South Korea write about K-pop, Korean movies, Korean culture, etc. in Spanish newspapers. And let's not talk about published books by influencers just because... followers. And then, some of my friends and I are unemployed.

Japanese American National Museum. Pictures from the Miné Okubo, Sutra and Bible, and (old) core exhibition(s) from the past few years.

Today is #worldphotographyday, and as a photographer and a future photographic historian, I hope people keep loving photography in every way. Also, I'd like to share my insta accounts: Portraits: instagram.com/pilardemiguel_ Landscape & Travel: www.instagram.com/theotherpilar

El Gwangbokjeol (광복절) es un día festivo en Corea, tanto del Norte como del Sur, ya que se recuerda y celebra la independencia del país tras liberarse de la ocupación japonesa.

If you're into #hiphop and you haven't previously listened to some of the amazing releases coming out of Asia, there's a world of great music waiting for you. This week I keep listening to #Vannda, who is #Cambodian. Thinking of Cambodia/Thailand a lot these days. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4vQ...

Va ganando la idea de extender por segundo año (y final) el doctorado porque no me da la vida para escribir. Si hubiera dos fechas de entrega sería lo ideal, pero no se puede... Y claro, también necesito trabajar YA. Aunque claro, he ido mandando CVs estos meses pasados y no me ha llamado nadie 😂

The web is also in English and in Spanish. This is so important for history of photography. archive.iananu.digital

Today, instead of writing my dissertation, I decided to take a 2-hour break to watch dinosaurs. I need to watch dinosaurs; I grew up watching them. And I feel a little bit sick too, so let's take a break, and then I'll go back to Korea, colonialism, and photography.

Several months ago, I saw Ham Kyungah’s embroidered diptych of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki mushroom clouds at SeMA, created by North Korean artisans following her designs. Sharing it on today’s anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing as it had prompted reflection.

Hi, I'm alive. Trying to finish my dissertation, trying to find a job -ha...- and not getting overwhelmed with life. Additionally, having vivid dreams about things I want in my life is not helping, but that's how the brain works. Hope everyone is safe and as happy as possible 🖤

Hello everyone...let's see.... We are Gomma.

Sometimes I think I made all the wrong decisions I could have taken. My degree, -useless in general-, the career I decided to pursue -photography-, my decision to pursue something out of my love for Korea -I started too late, also because of a lack of opportunities-. I have nothing and I'm tired.

No sé en qué día vivo, pero ya ha salido mi momento invitada en este pedazo de podcast. Hablamos de chamanas, imoogis y cómo no, del rey macizorro de "The haunted palace//Palacio embrujado" 💛

Beautiful gesture by a Japanese citizen in recognition of Japanese colonization of Korea. Just shows how historical issues do not have to upset the bilateral relationship with just a bit of understanding and empathy. koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2025-06...

This workshop for teachers was designed to fit a unit in California's curriculum, but it sounds so good, if you know a teacher in CA, please forward it to them. #KoreanHistory #ProtestHistory #Democratization #Workshop docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I am looking for Korean Studies PhDs from the Global South who want to participate in the AAS conference in 2026 (loc. Vancouver). I will help place people in panels and facilitate funding that should cover MOST of airfare/hotel. circulate widely. DM for more info

He encontrado dos carretes que creo que están terminados, pero no sé ni de qué fecha son. Debería llevarlos a revelar, ¿alguna recomendación en Madrid? A saber lo que me encuentro

Anyone is going next October to Bulgaria to the 30 years Korean Studies conference at Sofia University? I got accepted (I still can't believe it) and I don't know anyone. It'll be my first international event 🫣

I just had to justify my knowledge in another social network just because a person, instead of asking nicely, decided I was being arrogant. After giving them an answer, I, apparently, gave the right answer to their question. That person obviously wanted to test me. I hate the internet sometimes.

I believe that artists and creative people are actually the majority of people, but: – capitalism beats that shit out of all of us – it doesn't provide any of the disposable time or income or physical or psychological security that people need to express themselves – you can't afford school any more

Do you have any recommendations for a Korean history book? I know a few in English, and recently, I bought one in Spanish (the Victor D. Cha and Ramón Pacheco Spanish version) about contemporary history. Still, I want to learn more and practice my Korean simultaneously. Thanks! 😊

Las cosas que me apetece hacer y me darían paz mental ahora mismo son las mismas que no me reportan ningún beneficio más allá de la paz mental (que no es poco), pero me encantaría que me reportaran remuneración de vuelta. Otro día más en mi vida.

I logged back into my Medium account and stared at the blank space, thinking about what I should write. The tab is still open.

Hace unos meses una conocida me dijo que al leerme por otra red social parecía que me iba todo mal porque no hacía más que quejarme. La gente usa las redes sociales para compartir logros, si yo no tengo, pues... al final me quedará el silencio.

Me dan ganas de preguntar a otras personas, entre ellas @pollobarba.bsky.social qué opina del Superpack audiovisual. El de este año está a 89€ Nunca lo he comprado y es imposible encontrar opiniones y saber si merece la pena o no. No me sobra el dinero la verdad...
