Choosing love over hate does not mean there's kumbaya and warm feelings all round. Seems like should always be contextually read with (& ), bc they understood love, and it isn't letting set the terms of inclusion, forgiveness, community, because if it does, love will still be exclusive, still reinscribe white dominance as the underlying sociopolitical and onto-epistemological structures. Love & riots aren't exclusive. See also , .

"so the differences we see are a result of a system, are the result of an imposition of language, and that is where the transformation must be made and achieved. The only cure will be a transformation of the whole society, and an entirely new knowledge order altogether" fantastic interview with offshootjournal.org/what-will-

I think the concepts & practices of things like & are immensely important. I think they are directly linked to a lot of powerful theoretical work, too. Like Alexander Weheliye's . Like Christina Sharpe's . Katherine McKittrick's (& thence into ). And the one that's hooked me most into its cipher, Monica R Miller's notion of . (Her work is initially what motivated my work into .)

@itzpaquet There was an old joke about that it's 95% and 100% , and that's exactly the same phenomenon, and I love it.

also has a lot to say about this cultural process as a part of the formation of Jamaica and other Afro-Caribbean nations. It's fascinating.

"To use language is not to copy language but to reinvent it."

~Sylvia Wynter

This is a principle that I think is applicable far beyond language, or rather, applicable everywhere language permeates, which is to say, everywhere.

@Sean1966 I mean, sociologically, anthropologically, and psychologically, I don't think "weakness" is even properly how that works. I agree, though, that it is the philosophical weakness of Western thought that continually searches, even scientifically (see ) for sources of affectivity. Here, is helpful, as is 's work on , and Anthony B Pinn's work on .

Preparing the rest of my , & I'm apparently feeling the big ol' .

After clearing a bunch of other smaller projects, finally started 's collection of early essays, We Must Learn to Sit Down Together and Talk About a Little Culture, weighing in at a dense 648 pps. Almost done with J. M. Miro's . Ordered both gigantic volumes of 's Lays of the Hearth-Fire books (Hands of the Emperor will be a comfort re-read).
