5/11/14 review of book The Sadeian Woman, by Angela Carter

Here is the link to a Twitter thread review of the book The Sadeian Woman, by Angela Carter.

This is a quick review of Angela Carter's book on the works of the Marquis de Sade. Carter's book has influenced a lot of my own creative work, mostly from the way Carter connects, through Sade, politics and pornography. However, I would say my work is still more influenced by the works of Sade himself.

This is another Twitter thread I didn't find right off. But I was reminded of it from another thread. I did a deeper search and found it.

1/31/15 Twitter thread about politics and pornography

Here is the link to a Twitter thread I did on politics and pornography in January of 2015.

The basic idea of this quick thread was to show how people interested in pornography could also be interested in politics. It's sort of naive. And it's hard to believe I thought this was an actually new thought in 2015. But it still lays out some ideas that have guided a lot of my creative and political philosophy over the past few years. There are also some references to Sade, Camille Paglia, and Angela Carter.
