tonight's read: one of the most vivid descriptions of a dementia-like confusion i've encountered, courtesy of #ToniMorrison . (Tar Baby, 1981)
'She was usually safe with soup, anything soft or liquid that required a spoon, but she was never sure when the confusion would return: when she would scrape her fork tines along the china trying to pick up the painted blossoms at its center, or forget to unwrap the Amaretti cookie at the side of her plate and pop the whole thing into her mouth.'

Just finished reading “Beloved” by Toni Morrison. I’m glad I did.
Another well done short animation about the author and this book.

#ToniMorrison , why'd you have to go? the world needs you
'When our fears have all been serialized, our creativity censured, our ideas "marketplaced," our rights sold, our intelligence sloganized, our strength downsized, our privacy auctioned; when the theatricality, the entertainment value, the marketing of life is complete, we will find ourselves living not in a nation but in a consortium of industries, and wholly unintelligible to ourselves except for what we see as through a screen darkly.'

tonight's read: 'A Mercy,' by Toni Morrison.
'Whatever it was, [Jacob] couldn't stay there surrounded by a passel of slaves whose silence made him imagine an avalanche seen from a great distance. No sound, just the knowledge of a roar he could not hear.'
