This section is intended for trivial amusements and ephemeral thoughts in their unorganized form — think of social media posts without interactions. Please allow for errors and imprudence. Also archived here is a selection of my older posts from Twitter and Weibo, neither of which I remain active on. Posts may be removed without notice if they are developed into formal articles or no longer reflect my current opinions.

What’s weird about a reunion is how it creates a 2D space where everyone knowingly reduces the nuanced experiences of their own and others’ to a bite-sized, smooth arc when it’s understood that this simplified version of reality is merely a bona fide social lubricant
