Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur to Palestine, said that Israeli and allegedly foreign soldiers were “perfidiously hiding in an aid truck” during the hostage rescue operation. If true, and I imagine Albanese wouldn’t say this lightly, that’s absolutely perfidy - a serious war crime.

I have yet to see independent confirmation of this, but it certainly fits an awful pattern. Hopefully we will have more info soon.

while shopping for dolls for the LO I realize that when I grew up, the Chinese word for doll was literally "foreign/white baby" 洋娃娃, because that's how they all look like. I gather they must be more diverse now so they should be called just 娃娃?

OK so I wrote another fairytale in response to recent disk horse, it’s about a woman, a man, and a bear in the woods :3

I need to know who did this

The Woman, the Man, and the Bear — Frankie Huangwww.frankiefxhuang.com

much inspired by this "encampment journal" from a Chinese student in Middle Eastern studies in NY. she used to keep questioning her positionality & qualifications: what do I know? How can I write about Palestine? but encampment changed this...

mom says laolao (maternal grandma) left us this morning. laoye (maternal grandpa) left in 2022. guilt of an emigrant, being away and not able to say goodbye to loved ones. took these photos in 2012 at their home.

another of my favourite Lu Xun quotes for Palestine 无尽的远方无数的人们都与我有关 (pic via citizens daily)

"Generally, for news about domestic affairs, Chinese netizens prefer articles that take the opposite position of the government; for foreign affairs, they prefer articles aligned with the government's position." www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

gotta love twitter. the guy's quote RT encapsulates the discourse I wrote a paper on. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

urgh. so some Chinese dissidents say they can't support student protests against genocide & settler colonialism because they *think* leftist students would support Beijing if Beijing invades Taiwan. it's really the mirror image of tankies.

Look at the video - the professor expresses concern about the assault of a protestor, touches no-one, and then is assaulted herself by police twitter.com/robertmackey...

the intersection of gender, race, nationalism, and technology in this stuff is insane: AI-generated "Russian girl" influencers on Chinese short video platforms, content typically about "want to marry Chinese men. Russian men bad; Chinese men good". chinadigitaltimes.net/chinese/7072...

John McWhorter thinks campus protests are "a form of abuse" because they prevent his class from listening to John Cage's silent composition, 4'33", in peace. I kid you not. www.nytimes.com/2024/04/23/o...

this took a long time. I'm so happy to share my latest paper in @risjnl.bsky.social, looking at racial entanglement, masculinism, and gendered East/West binaries in global reactionary discourse (via another look at Chinese anti-baizuo discourse). www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I'm over the moon today. my 2.5yo son is non-verbal and suspected for ASD (due to the current state of NHS, he's got an assessment scheduled for... 2027). this morning I was wearing a blanket, pretending to be flying & wrapped him around. he smiled at me and said: "butterfly". I'm crying.

the Supreme People's Court published new interpretation of the marriage law in the civil code for public consultation. the new law however is met with backlash from men because it's considered too pro-women... so much so that the SPC turned off comment section for a post about public consultation

A study on what many of us already know: over 75% of internal service work in academia is done by women. The bit that gets me:”The male associate professors in particular made it clear that they actively engaged in evasiveness and did not want to participate if it was not positive for their careers”

Women end up doing the academic houseworkkifinfo.no

instead writing my book I finished designing the cover today and am very happy about the design??

finished a major revision today, so here's a quick thread on discussion of Netflix's 3 body on douban & zhihu? douban review isn't bad - average score of 6.9 (even tho the top reviews on first page are 1-stars), kinda in line with the general ideological orientation of the community.

love this 随机波动 episode talking about what it means to work in culture/media in a 'post-progressivist' China, an inspiring mixture of sadness & reflection. Their feeling is that the 'progressivist imagination of the world' they grew up with and took for granted
