Who I am (in case it factors into your decision): old straight white cisgender man, married with one daughter, former math and physics major, living in Maryland, USA, and working as a “pre-sales engineer.”
What I write: original essays on quasi-random stuff like
- “Life in Patreonia,” “I fought the power law and the power law won,” and other thoughts on the “creator economy.”
- manga magic is fake but entertaining, “real magic is hard and also unsatisfying”
- “Democracy with Taiwanese characteristics” and “the geopolitical uses of lesbian romcoms”
- “Harvard considered as a long-lived biological organism”
- how Yasujiro Ozu's 1951 film Early Summer seems pretty darned queer to me
- whether an anime sheds light on the best economic system for creating Japanese dictionaries
- billionaires and universities or “The Koch brothers don't care about Byzantine history”
- Alice Evans and her theories about “the great gender divergence” and “10,000 years of patriarchy”
- “Our lives are built upon the bones of millions” and "the half-life of injustice"
- excerpts from good poetry by (mostly) dead poets
- any other thoughts on the yuri genre I might have after writing a book discussing one of its more well-known works
- and more ...
