"Metaphor is the shame of literature; it is the shame of everything... That’s why linguists are so interested in it. It is by nature a sensory-motor evasion when you longer know what to do. It gives us something to say, eh?"

“The oppressed suffer from the duality which has established itself in their innermost being. They discover that without freedom they cannot exist authentically. Yet, although they desire authentic existence, they fear it. They are at one and the same time themselves and the oppressor whose consciousness they have internalized The conflict lies in the choice between being wholly themselves or being divided; between ejecting the oppressor within or not ejecting them; between human solidarity or alienation; between following prescriptions or having choices; between being spectators or actors; between acting or having the illusion of acting through the action of the oppressors; between speaking out or being silent, castrated in their power to create and re-create, in their power to transform the world. This is the tragic dilemma of the oppressed which their education must take into account.”

—Paulo Freire, “Pedagogy of the Oppressed”

police were sharing themselves knocking down a forest encampment in Edmonton and it really is just a highlight reel of the way that states maintain dependence on their way of life (aka. dispossession and wage labor) through naked, violent force.

ballot boxes getting attacked and burnt in my state. not a good sign of things to come.

grabbing a physical copy of Jones' Genocide makes me want to try to develop the essay on queer genocide i was writing. i was already pulling from Jones in my initial versions but i feel reinvigorated about it.
