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.

"The current level of political animosity is exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s citizens." There are not enough exclamation points to convey how I felt reading this paragraph

Screenshot of article which reads: From this perspective, the “both sides” frame falls apart. The prob-
lem is not that the parties are divided. The problem is the existential
threat that a reempowered ethnonationalist strain poses to pluralistic
U.S. democracy writ large. The current level of political animosity is
exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted
to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s
citizens. The only way to re-oppress most of a country is to use anti-
democratic and authoritarian tactics. And the only way to oppose those
tactics is to push back as a population and clearly reject them. This is
the argument happening in the United States, and its pathology is not
anger—it is the movement to undermine a generation of rights.

So glad my university paid to have shaq dj a quad party before a game against Middle Tennessee State University instead of paying faculty competitive salaries or fixing its collapsing infrastructure

Disappointing to see an increasing number of tech critics see the recent AI security events and conclude "maybe the doomers are correct and AI is an existential risk" rather than "maybe the tech execs are an existential risk"

Yes! I don’t have a preference between these and lever backs so this is very cool. Nice to have less chance of losing an earring

I think one radical thing academics can do is accept that we are workers, and what we do is labour in exchange for a wage from an employer.

The AI rush is following the money. That’s historically continuous, eg The Cold War funding model. But the AI rush is also about currying political favor and signaling political loyalty. When that aligned with the money, it was a no brainer for feckless university leaders.

personally I think the fact that all of the companies pushing AI are hyper-right-wing fascist septic tanks whose leaders love shit like eugenics & transphobia & race science should factor into the thought process before anybody spends their free time glazing their products with philosophy exercises

During the Jacksonian period, the U.S. South sustained the most airtight media filter bubbles in our national history. They largely succeeded in this despite an explosion of interregional periodical circulation from 1835 forward. It is a period associated with the emergence of mass media. And…

Everyone keeps trying to appease the nazis by being more like the nazis and all that happens is you get more nazis if only there were some sort of historical precedent for understanding this process
