Workplace drinking culture is a culture of exclusion: in many ways but also (for instance) Muslims who don't drink are often absent from the actual if not formal decision making moments.

In this new essay, Cai Chen recovers the queer lives hidden inside Chinese migration to Africa. Following three gay men across multiple countries, he develops the idea of 'unintended sexual migration', journeys where sexuality wasn't the motive but reshaped the path. Global China can be queer.

Queering Chinese in Africa: The Unintended Sexual Migration of Chinese Gay Men

Are there any Chinese gays in Africa? This is a question I am frequently asked—by colleagues, friends, and especially those familiar with my earlier research

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope."

Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war.

A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic.

Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope.

Many may not realize that none of us are reading "direct" translations of Sun Tzu. We are reading interpretations--even the Chinese. What Sun Tzu conveys in four characters, a contemporary Chinese translator, like Guo Huaruo, needs to use 16 characters to make this intelligible.

Always exciting to see the Avignon Papacy in the news
Vatican officials briefed on the meeting tell The Free Press that the Pentagon warned Cardinal Christophe Pierre in January that the United States has the military power to do "whatever it wants" and that Pope Leo, the first American-born pontiff, "better take its side."
The site writes that "as tensions escalated," one U.S. official "went so far as to invoke the Avignon Papacy, the period in the 1300s when the French Crown leveraged its military power to dominate the papal authority."

Trump alternates between threat and promises of peace while making what are fundamentally threats, just as China does. And though China sometimes promises peace, there is discourse about wiping Taiwan off the map too as in that of “Keep the island but not the people” (留島不留人)

Excited for the usual suspects to use Trump’s threats of wiping out the Iranian people to claim we should be closer with China——which has threatened death and destruction with thousands of missles pointed at Taiwan for decades—than note say, they are two sides of the same coin
