Unless you’re an actual — and Western-based — doctor, please don’t write to me to ask what I have and to diagnose my conditions without seeing me, or to tell me which magical Eastern plant or some hour-long cooking regimen and meditation really worked for you; I’m really not interested (using a Neti pot is […]

The GRANDMOTHER of All Updates

From Queer To Gay: The Rise and Fall of Milo

  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  

What brought Milo down was not his queerness, which had always been flamboyantly on display and fetishised by the Right and the Left, but that he became, with the few short seconds of a video clip, irrevocably gay.

Should You March Against Trump?

Unless it involves some kind of Chair-ship and, preferably, an actual gold-and-jewel-encrusted chair to sit on, I’m not interested in a regular academic job. I willingly and voluntarily left that quest a long time ago, preferring to fling myself into a very dangerous sort of precacity, so dangerous that I can’t even reveal all of […]

Welcome to The Morning After: November 17, 2016

  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •

The way ahead for the left is not to cede both discourse and imagination, but to think about how to expand on both to make itself felt as a living, breathing, entity that offers several wild and fantastic possibilities, utopias even, in a frightened and frightening world.
