Workplace drinking culture is a culture of exclusion: in many ways but also (for instance) Muslims who don't drink are often absent from the actual if not formal decision making moments.

In this new essay, Cai Chen recovers the queer lives hidden inside Chinese migration to Africa. Following three gay men across multiple countries, he develops the idea of 'unintended sexual migration', journeys where sexuality wasn't the motive but reshaped the path. Global China can be queer.

The President had threatened to end a civilization.

Hi, I know everyone is super eager to do a post-mortem and move ahead now that it feels like the crisis is over despite it being <24 hours with no clear agreements, but please, if there aren't consequences for this, I promise you we will be here again and again.
