Fevers of the Mind interview

Thanks to David L. O'Nan for doing the interview linked here with me at Fevers of the Mind.

I endorse this:

"I do not write much about social issues, but I am an antinatalist & vegan. I do not want humans extinct necessarily, just a whole lot less of them. A great deal of what I do mention about society involves things that are vaguely Foucauldian; about biopower, indoctrination, & psychiatric, social, & medical fascism. Nietzsche’s “abyss” quote is about how “progressives” become fascists or worse, while allegedly fighting fascism, & the Foucauldian critique of the allegedly well-meaning “medical” fascism, disciplining unruly bodies, is much more wide-ranging."

& I agree with me about this too:

"I no longer affiliate with humanity, my allegiance lies elsewhere. Becomings-animal, in Deleuze & Guattari’s work, are very inspirational, since they show how a posthuman state can be understood like postmodernism as not a successor state, as “post” implies, but a crisis state or a reversion – the end of philosophy in the pre-Socratics, for Heidegger, while I align more with beasts than people. I am Aries with Mercury & Venus both in Pisces, & moon in Gemini. I’m sure that helps when it comes to writing."

Also include a bit mysteriously missing in interview

"I once did a lot of collaborative work about BDSM, no longer available, but some of the "poems for Emma" series became what Emma described as "deviant pornography." For some reason subs have often been aware from my writing in general that I am a dominant. I do not know how, I suppose most of them are very clever girls."
