@rav3n developmental and life cycle challenges can be similar and different… as a teacher dealing with parent child stuff… I just believe it is important not to be dogmatic.  Honest intersectionality needs to broaden its scope… Eg asking a range of cultural questions and being aware of historical differences.  Eg … age first started work….ages that close people may have died…

… east and west…, my paternal and maternal lineages came from east and west of the Greenwich meridian … so longitude maybe another reason I am sensitive to it…idk…maybe I am too scientific or too literal…idk

i mostly identify with being inner city… but not rich real estate… if you know what I mean… I lived there pre-gentrification 

today a migrant asked me if salmon and vegetables were traditional Aussie food … I had to say no. Maybe a few had it in the past. Too expensive. Really not many. Tuna or sardines were more common. I only heard of people eating salmon in last 20 years… she had the decency to pose it as a polite question rather than make a generalisation.

we just need to be careful… as there are so many controversies… maybe more these days as we are all trying to accommodate people from all over the globe… all at once…. 

anyway I love the thread idea 

thanks

hope more join in
