@JamesBorrowdale @NorthandSouthNZ Hi James! Loved this essay when I read it last year. Wrote a semi-American response of sorts after a weird & bloody week in which was already read Crump. Thought you might dig it! Howdy from the Wairarapa--

@bretgustafson This is all bonkers. Thanks for posting!

@TahirIzgil That's great news! Great to see all those other translations, too--this should've always been the first, no? Glad the book's getting out there in the world.

Hey @peterbakernyt! Thanks for that 'Gallows Humor' piece about DC folks eyeing exile! Glad to have peek behind the headlines! Conversations we need to have.

I wrote a response from my own self-imposed exile in NZ. Thought you might dig it: https://t.co/7JiV1aWFsx

Very moved to read Dan Keane's outstanding review of Waiting to Be Arrested at Night in @washingtonpost.

"Lucid and quietly terrifying... Read 'Waiting to Be Arrested at Night' for its many human-scale moments of sorrow and grace."

“This is the defining account of what it’s like to live through this moment,” Byler said. “This will be the book that, in 10 years or 20 years, people will turn to if they want to understand that moment.”

serious cultural and intellectual work are increasingly unsustainable as anything more than a hobby. yeah the US has never been the necessary state intervention to democratize them but it's really bad right now

[liusanity 囧 @andybliu]

Wrote about how we can think about Xinjiang without being useful idiots for the US nor the PRC.

Refusing the nationalist blackmail (pro-US/anti-Ch + anti-US/pro-Ch) means examining links of global capital + global counterterrorism and, ofc, to 'always historicize!'
