Now that its sat a bit, one battle after another is terrible. Transposing a 70s US countercultural content onto a 90s/early 2000s filmic language may have worked, but it could never also survive window dressing it in contemporary US events/

My dear friend Steven Thrasher just released his 70-minute interview with Alice Wong. She shaped so much of his book, “The Viral Underclass”. Bless Steven, bless Alice Wong. Remember to lift each other up in life, too.

It never stops being funny to me that white people are so anxious about migration when they LITERALLY MIGRATED TO THE WHOLE FUCKING PLANET

I am very grateful for things like the boston review, the lrb and laphams because they get brilliant people to write more accessible versions of their work which are truly a boon for interdisciplinary teaching. Feel like i’m cheating when i assign them as discussions go way better.
