The chatter has followed a familiar trajectory: First, the breathless posting of breaking news from a range of sources – each revealing a sliver of the poster’s own sociopolitical leanings.

Monday, August 29, 2011. A cultural mulatto moment. Identity is such an elusive animal for us Third Culture Kids. When I first moved to England from the Middle East as a young adult, I became "the American girl" even though I had not lived in the U.S. for a decade.When I moved to the U.S. 10 years later, I became "the English girl," even though I had only lived in England since I was 18.

Cultural Mulatto: December 2011

http://www.culturalmulatto.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Thursday, December 15, 2011. Out of sync with the season. Call me old fashioned, but I like to celebrate Christmas at Christmastime, leaving Advent as a season of preparation and waiting. During my childhood, we put up our tree just a few days before Christmas, often on Christmas Eve. Because, my mother always noted, the 12 Days of Christmas. But I'm just getting started. And I like doing it my way. I like the anticipation, the building excitement. I like tapping into those Christmas Eve memories...But I...

Monday, September 26, 2011. While our children were swinging happily on the monkey bars at a neighborhood playground, I asked my Peruvian friend Araceli if she had ever heard of Paddington Bear.

Invited to climb a ladder at the Indicia Gallery in London, where Ono was preparing a conceptual art exhibit, he used a magnifying glass suspended from a string to find the word “ yes. 8221; inscribed in tiny writing on a canvas on the ceiling.
