My U.N. Commission’s Finding: Israel Is Committing Genocide

Sept. 16, 2025”

Below the headline is a large Reuters photograph showing a grieving person dressed in purple, hunched forward with their face buried in their hands. Several people surround and comfort them, resting their hands on their shoulders, arms, and head. Another person wearing a light purple headscarf leans in from the left.

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

Right, so. I’m with Ketan here: the theft I refer to with AI isn’t so much training data (which sucks) but the ways that it enables an entire culture of permissible theft maintained by folks who don’t see the harm in what they do.

Here’s an excerpt from my new (prose!) book. It’s from the opening essay, which addresses 兔儿神/the Rabbit God, a queer deity from my home province of Fujian. But really it's a prose poem, an ars poetica, a manifesto. In Cahoots with the Rabbit God is out on Dec. 1. Preorder now: tinyurl.com/4mc6vnjf
DEAR RABBIT GOD,

I don't believe in suffering for one's art. I believe in frolicking for one's art. I believe in eating well for one's art. I believe in farting for one's art. I believe in making beautiful friends for one's art. And making plans with one's friends for one's art, I believe in this utterly. Especially when those friends hold you accountable to making your art, revising your thought, practicing your politics. I believe that my gaysian life is integral to my art and I believe that difference should be embraced, not shunned, not simplified. I believe that poems that love earthly difference alongside or even more than spiritual transcendence are better poems. I believe in falling wildly in love for one's art and for no reason at all. I believe in orgasming for one's art.
