[Illusions of Control @IllusionsDoc]

We are extremely saddened by the passing of Lauren Berlant. An incredible scholar, of course, but also a generous, funny and inspiring human. Berlant illuminated the world, and made it sparkle. They will be truly missed.

"If you think about it, optimism is a kind of miracle, because the world is so not organized toward anyone's flourishing in it." Lauren Berlant RIP 1957-2021

Vi el documental "Illusions of control" de la cineasta canadiense Shannon Walsh. Sé que no es una cinta fácil de encontrar pero si se cruzan con ella, no dejen de verla. Es preciosa, sobre las reacciones humanas en situaciones de crisis y la resiliencia https://t.co/PL81OtAM9u
