@AOC : Trump is looking to withdraw the United States from the rest of the world so that we can turn into an age of authoritarians that can carve up the world. It is the transpacific partnership, and global alliances, that can be a hard stop to authoritarian power.

Latest data does show a drop in transpacific demand, BUT:
1. International airlines don't do that seat switch thing for take-off
2. Adelaide is a small town; all eastbound flights for US fly via Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane, with additional passengers boarding there

Unfortunately, Crimea is too essential to the Black Sea fleet. It’s been the US military’s plan to sacrifice Crimea since 2014 I feel. Russia was viewed as essential to the war on terror. Obama wanted nuclear disarmament & Russian reset to exploit BRICS with transpacific partnership. 🍊🌮 wants nukes.

✨LIGHT CHEMICAL SEA - Cover Reveal!✨

After years of writing tiny stories about small moments, I’m so excited to announce that my flash fiction chapbook LIGHT CHEMICAL SEA is forthcoming November 10, 2026 with @bullcitypress.com

Preorders are now available:
bullcitypress.com/product/ligh...
Front cover of book is an abstract painting of ocean blue paint over white canvas. The title is in blocky font with pale navy blue letters. JENNY WONG LIGHT CHEMICAL SEA STORIES & SMALL FICTIONS Back cover of book with the following blurbs: "Quiet, contemplative, transformative, Light Chemical Sea, will send you on a meditative journey through wavelengths of sound, of light, of love, of loss, on pathways of auroras, of highways, of elements, of life. Jenny Wong's singular voice will whisper, will call, will summon you to be present in the warp and weft of her words." -MELISSA LLANES BROWNLEE, AUTHOR OF BITTER OVER SWEET "Jenny Wong is an alchemist turning moments of being into illumination of character. Wong is drawn to those on the periphery, people who don't quite fit in. In small flashes of brilliance she highlights the elements of their lives as they find solace in nature or catch glimpses of their true selves." -DEBBIE ROBSON, AUTHOR OF A GLIMPSE AND THE HERMITAGE "The obscure and almost-absurd become visible and believable under the skillful care of writer Jenny Wong in the compelling Light Chemical Sea, a collection of stories and small fictions. In three parts, she delivers us into the essence of light, dips us full-bodied into the effervescent chemicals we are made of, and then returns us to the sea where life as we know it really begins. The words, beyond language-rich, flawlessly represent images we want to hold under a microscope to try to assess the ways she gives them voice. It's a magic only a few can master. Make no mistake, this is the work of a sterling storyteller who weaves mystery with mundane to concoct a world view that draws us not only into her personal reflections of such basic natural forces (light, chemical, and sea), but leads us, sometimes unknowingly, into a labyrinth of cues and clues towards to the majesty of life we all belong to." —KAREN PIERCE GONZALEZ, AUTHOR OF DOWN RIVER WITH LI PO Description: Jenny Wong peeks into the lives of characters caught in lighthouses, subways, shorelines, Walmart aisles, and airports. With a talent for lingering and looking, with the elemental precision of a poet, her small mosaics imbue the quotidian with quiet wonder. The international traveler, the preteen chemistry student, and the perimenopausal millennial who spends her days in the sun are trail guides for landscapes saturated with solitude and vastness, the whispers of ancestors and the ironies of aging. Light Chemical Sea reports back from the transpacific diaspora, glimpsing into the liminal pause between what happened and what happens next.

Commute read.

Western conceptions of the sovereign state &the liberal individual underpin long histories of European colonization…that seek to police the boundaries of the human being as well as the limits of repair in the face of unremitting war &violence.
-David Eng, Reparations & the Human, 2025
Cover of David Eng’s book, Reparations and the Human Back jacket of the book The Holocaust and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki invoked i eraphic terms che specter oftotal human destruction. In response, a new international order of reparacions and human rights arose from the ashes of World War Il. This le gal regime sought to subrogate the sovereignty of the nation-state in order to defend the sovereignty of the human being. While the Holocaust's history is settled —Nazis were perpetrators and jews were victims-there remains little historical consensus as to the victims and perpetrators of the atomic bombings. In Reparations and the Human, David L. Eng investigates a history of reparations across the Transpacific. He analyzes how concepts of reparation established during colonial settlement and the European Enlightenment shape contemporary configurations of the human and human rights, who deserves repair. As demands for reparations now occupy center stage in debates determining who can be recognized as victims, who must be seen as perpetrators, and concerning unresolved legacies of dispossession and Transatlantic slavery, Eng considers how the Cold War Transpacific provides a limit case for the politics of repair and definitions of the human. "No other work demonstrates the critical relevance of psychoanalysis to justice more powerfully than David L. Eng's Reparations and the Human. Animating the intersections of postcolonial American studies, Black feminist and Indigenous critique of sovereignty, law, and the human, and Transpacific Cold War critique, Eng theorizes the psychic dimension of reparation with deep literary insight. A book anyone seeking a way beyond the nomos of the post-Enlightenment planet must read."-Lisa Yoneyama "David L. Eng upends previous assumptions about what reparation is, showing how the very category of the human is structured by whether subjects are worthy of reparation. A brilliant, creative, learned, and utterly compelling book"-Leti Volpp There is little in Western political or psychoanalytic theory that can adequately account for this extraordinary act and the Sahtu Dene's attempts to repair the violence of atomic destruction in Hiroshima for which they are, arguably, the least responsible. To be sure, Western conceptions of the sovereign state and the liberal individual underpin long histories of European colonization and trauma that seek to police the boundaries of the human being as well as the limits of repair in the face of unremitting war and violence.
