I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.

my patron saint is back in action 😍

Congratulations to you, @unlawfulentries.bsky.social!!!

I made the mistake yesterday of asking my students what "looksmaxxing" and "clavicular" is and why it's decomposing

Vince Rafael, my teacher and dear friend, and eminent historian of the Philippines, passed away today. If you work in cultural anthropology, translation studies, Asian studies, Asian Am, you'll know the monumental impact he had. He also endlessly supported young scholars. He'll be deeply missed.

Good news in ghastly times

Adrian De Leon (@aadeleon.bsky.social) & I wrote over 12,000 words about the epic WORLD SERIES from both sides of the 49th parallel. Thank you to Avidly/Sarah Mesle for creating the space to accommodate such obsession, compulsion, maximalism and emotion. 💙💙 Read here: avidly.org/2025/11/15/b...

Karen THEE Tongson (Dodgers superfan) and I started this World Series postmortem as a series of text messages, and then Instagram stories, and then it blew up into this twelve thousand word monstrosity. It's got delight, disgust, drama, and Drake. PLS AND TY YOU READ: avidly.org/2025/11/15/b...
