Since I am back home, I did want to announce that, after some grueling negotiation with the original owner, me and my collaborator Kamoogy were able to secure vol. 1 of Lovely, the very journal in which "yaoi" was coined by Mikiko Maru. Really elated to share this one soon!
the front cover to vol. 1 of the doujinshi / shonen-ai / shoujo journal 'Lovely', which was the first to coin the term 'yaoi' as a literary device. The cover features a ghostly European-esque woman gloating above a sleeping town at night. The cover is heavily aged and violet purple.

I continue my series on state capacity for Broadstreet, and focus on what the Chinese case can teach us about the origins of bureaucratic capacity. Particularly relevant today because Qing China under the Kangxi emperor was a remarkable case of deliberately letting high state capacity atrophy.
The rise and reversal of bureaucratic capacity: lessons from Chinese history
In a previous post, I discussed ways in which recent historical political economy research has advanced the study of state capacity.

Re-sharing again with updates from Ablegamers and Barlet. As noted in the story, I reached out to both parties multiple times for comment. Barlet's on-the-record response was included in my initial story, but I declined to accept info contingent on being off-the-record.

hey, I have perfectly normal taste in games thank you
In comparison, the game The Dream Machine also includes using hideous objects such as human bones to solve puzzles, not scare the player. These puzzles are a routine part of the game rules: in this con-text, players cannot emotionally afford being perpetually frightened or repulsed by this scary matter of death. Expressive estrangement is based on surprise, and it eventually wears out as we get used to death in the game world. We start using objects in the game inventory in a constructive manner, and their expressive potential gradually dimi­nishes. After a while we stop feeling uneasy about living in an ugly clay world, turn the blind eye to fake clay gore, and do our point-and-click routine until the finale of the game, in which transgression may go too far even for a somehow desensitized gamer.
