hi, it's chorui! i like writing and reading a lot about parenting, youth liberation, social reproduction theory, family abolition, and the history of childhood. my work explores the overlap between youth lib, feminism, gay and trans issues, racial justice, disability justice, climate action, anarchism, and socialism. i've been working really hard on this project and i'm excited to share it with y'all!
i'm not an academic, and i don't have credentials in this field. my professional background is in tech. this is a passion project that i've been working on since 2021. i'm always taking recommendations for texts regarding any of the fields i've mentioned above, especially those that focus on childhood in the imperial periphery.

minors are welcome to follow. my content is generally more geared towards adults, but i really value your perspective & constructive criticism!
understanding youth as an axis of marginalization means understanding adults as oppressors. that means all adults. even if you think you're one of the good ones.
i can't fucking believe this needs to be said, but i don't condone the sexual exploitation of children, and i don't condone the sexualization of child exploitation either. using youthlib theory to sexually groom kids & teens is unconscionable. i don't give a shit about your excuses.
i'm a parent of two young kids. i think antinatalism is silly at best & eugenicist at worst. generally i try not to get into "mommy wars" stuff - i try to explore the structural processes/incentives of childcare instead of criticizing the actions of individuals.
i enjoy putting a lot of time & effort into answering questions that i believe are being asked in good faith. but i also can't answer every single question people ask. be nice, please!
