Notes
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.

my $5c: positionality matters after all; it’s not contradictory for activist discourses to begin in approachable, even raw forms, while being subjected to higher standards in more sophisticated strata

Wouldn’t it be nice if everything could be that simple? Hello, pandemic. Goodbye, pandemic.

waking up from a dream of sheer absurdity to a lively fading memory feels like a neural version of getting the shit kicked out in the pool and turning around to find no offender but a fleeing splash

“Someone will be checking your dossier. Remember, your entire history is known. You have no way to hide anything.” What my second-grade teacher outlined, it turns out, was not just a Communist hell, but a vision of our world today.

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

kinda uncanny that many a issue i’ve had these days were more or less addressed (anticipated?) by what i read earlier this year (or is it simply a version of selection bias that i’ve got more attuned to noticing such and such affairs due to prior exposure)

think twice before determining you’re moving toward the tail of the kubler-ross curve; also possible is you haven’t enter the curve at all
