November 2023, five Alchemists convened to discuss their radical visions of the beautiful world. Their treatises have been captured and luminously expanded in the pages of this book with an introduction by Christina Sharpe.
FIVE MANIFESTOS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD is out today!
“This world-stillness overrides and catapults, despite our ongoing right-siding toward a killing, stratifying, death-dealing normal.”
From Salvage by Dionne Brand, forthcoming from @fsgbooks. https://t.co/kXcyIlXgnq

.@hystericalblkns is kind of like Midas in the sense that even if her work isn’t being directly engaged or cited, you can read something and see and feel the way it’s ethically and intellectually inflected by her and THAT is a gift ❤️🔥

@metromorning Thank you for pushing back and asking tough questions about this initiative. Police are not the answer and indeed have proven to be ineffective in dealing with folks with mental health/addictions issues and the unhoused. I will not feel safer on my daily commute.
