Korean prosecutors are seeking the death sentence for the treasonous Yoon. I urge Americans to do the same

Reading this again, now I want to learn about Mani's thought

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

We have to move beyond Kant. Kant was racist! From my book Theory of Madness, section "Dealing with Kant":

Tragicomedy is also the movement of horror, the abolition of the subject

I think there's a genuine dialectical movement from tragedy to tragicomedy to comedy and Hegel mistook this movement for philosophy. I'm most interested in tragicomedy as a problem for capitalism

we should call for Stephen Miller to resign because a. there's broad momentum and his horrific policies are world historically unpopular because he's a loser nazi and b. platforms have terms of service that restrict us from saying what's obvious

Overheard in graduate school a few years back:
"I used to love Kanye's early music, up through 'Yeezus,' but now I just don't know if I can separate the work from the person."
"Dude, you're writing a dissertation on Heidegger."

Claude is explicitly designed to protect the status quo, predictably. One wonders if the US government is computed to be legitimate by Claude at this point.

to "overthrow legitimate governments". Amanda is clearly not prepared for this question and ends up saying platitudes like how this is just one section among many that tells Claude not to endorse murder, etc. But overthrowing a government is different from murder. It is a political idea. It seems

In the first philosophy class I took, my professor, God bless her, told me that she isn't allowed to tell us to overthrow the US government by because of her contract. In the Amanda Askell Claude NYT interview they talk about a section in the "Claude Constitution" where Claude is never to be used

At 70 pages, roughly the first chapter is done. I'm aiming for ~220 pages

I had a dream I flew to America with my mom and got arrested at the airport

Look, I believe in casts, but if a parent has strongly-held anti-cast beliefs, they should be allowed to let their kid’s broken arm grow back all floppy and fucked up, even to the point of lifelong, debilitating pain. And that’s not child abuse because a kid’s bones are their parents’ property

X never showed me pictures of protests. I was in that shithole full of bots for months. As soon as I come here I feel hope

oh man i don't understand why i use twitter. i'm leaving that toxic sludge

Twitter is even more unusable and even more full of nazis and incels now. Coming on here feels like a breath of fresh air. I'm deleting my Twitter account and moving here permanently

Just found a dataset of my old tweets (because someone decided to finetune GPT2 on them to create a language model of me and publish it on huggingface) and it's 540 pages. I wrote 540 pages of tweets.

Picture of the book Gender/Fucking

Overview Featuring critical essays, erotica, and stitched-up memories, Gender/Fucking explores sexual arousal as a site of knowledge about the self and world. Taking the idea of intellectual masturbation a bit too literally, Florence Ashley draws on their experiences as a transfeminine activist, academic, and slut to interrogate what it means to live in a gendered body in our difficult yet occasionally loving world. With personal essays about the fetishization of trans bodies, recovering from surgery, and losing hope, Florence's collection celebrates the queer messiness of sex and identity. Through the embrace of its raw and lyrical prose, Gender/Fucking invites the reader into the intimate world of academic smut to ask what it means to be horny on main in a sex-negative world-and what power it might hold.

Screenshot of the first page of the preface with highlight on the words “Academic smut should be a recognized genre. It merges two of the things that make me horny—theory, and sex. In that order.”

Since we’ve had an influx of new folks—did you hear about my book Gender/Fucking: The Pleasures and Politics of Living in a Gendered Body?

Asking what we can learn from sexual arousal, the book takes a raw and thought-provoking look at community, queerness, fetishization, trauma, and hope.
