Wasted goods, wasted lives: our #TSRWaste issue, edited by @asiyaislam.bsky.social , draws on thinkers from Françoise Vergès to Zygmunt Bauman to take a closer look at food apps, sanitation workers and fishing communities, floods of fast fashion in Ghana, and much more. buff.ly/4iolWBf

Amit Balmiki on the interlinkage of caste-deskilling-tourism-migration in Pokhara/Nepal: "many of the traditional waste workers ...'migrated to other countries, mostly Saudi Arabia and other countries, in search of better livelihoods. That is why we started working as sweepers.'”

Caste aside: the Gandharva community – once the performing artists of Nepal – now carry out the stigmatised job of cleaning up in the tourism capital of Pokhara. Amit Balmiki reflects on caste, deskilling and identity loss in our #TSRWaste issue. buff.ly/3DbDi4s
