Eventually we settled down.
We became sympathizers,
people who believe in accidents.But our bodies told us there are no accidents. People
like us die tragically in adolescence.
We die
like trans people die, not like matter dies,not from gravity
not by chance
not from light.

I post quotes @voidmoth likes. Perma-cw for discussion of death, self-harm, mental illness, food, and general discussion of emotional or challenging things in a lyrical manner.
VLADIMIR: I don't understand.
ESTRAGON: Use your intelligence, can't you?

Samuel Beckett - Waiting for Godot
White supremacy and coloniality still form the glue for the institutional and intellectual disciplinarity of western critical thought. Since the ideas of the Black Panther Party are limited to concerns with ethnic racism elsewhere, they do not register as thought qua thought, and can thus be exploited by and elevated to universality only in the hands of European thinkers such as Foucault, albeit without receiving any credit. [Dear reader, if this reminds you of the colonial expropriation of natural resources, you would be neither wrong nor alone in making such an assumption. In the words of Kanye West: that shit cray.]

I am a commercial writer and I'm proud of that. I am writing things to be put in the bookstore next month. I think it is a mistake to try to write for the ages.
