"The search for laws consists in extracting constants, even if those constants are only relations between variables (equations). An invariable form for variables, a variable matter of the invariant: such is the foundation of the hylomorphic schema.

But for the... nomad science the relevant distinction is material-forces rather than matter-form. Here it is not a question of extracting constants from variables but of placing the variables themselves in a state of continuous variation."

i hurt my back so bad yesterday idek what i did 😭

in a long car ride today, so im re-reading D&Gs nomadology. i forgot how referential so much of it is, so im using it to develop a new reading list after hitting a bit of a wall with the Agamben/Foucault train of thought i was following.

i should really upload some custom emoji here....

i went swimming today for the first time in like a decade and it was so much fun

and my partner found this lil bee snoozin in a big sunflower

yesterday we went to the coast of Maine and found more mushrooms!

cont.

visiting maine has been so nice. today we went on a bog walk and it was unlike any bog ive ever been in. red moss and pitcher plants at the heart of the bog with shroomy woods surrounding it. it was frustrating to see the road disrupting its full potential though.

its funny how much speed a settled society needs

everywhere else is just transphobia day in day out and constant repeats of the same tired old discourse i am so tired of that economy of attention

the vibes on all other social media have rapidly deteriorated i just wanna chill and post about books

sorry the instance was down for so long, critical security errors timed with needing to go on a trip perfectly enough to make me just shut it down til i could work on it again

YOOOOO WE'RE BACK

im going to be on a 3v3 panel tomorrow and i went from really excited to not even feeling sure im gonna sit through the whole thing

was out for a walk with my dog and my partners and fell on uneven sidewalk because i am grace incarnate

i ask because i want to expand my repertoire of works that i can reference for conceptions of violence (and its supposed opposite non-violence).

i'll be having a discussion with a few others on a stream in a few days, and we'll be discussing violence.

in general i think the average person's conception of violence papers over much of the daily violence that upholds our lives. i think the average person's conception of "nonviolence" is a kind of Martyr fetish that sees the role of the oppressed as one to be beaten until the oppressor's heart is moved by the display of nonviolence.
