in no way coincide.

What the one is missing is not what is hidden in the other.

This is the whole problem of love.

This is a staggering Associated Press report: Israel's assault on Gaza is among the deadliest and most destructive in recent history. More destruction than Aleppo, Mariupol, or, stunningly, the Allied bombing of Germany in World War II. https://t.co/c9K7YZQvhF

1. It is with great sadness that we learn the news of Bruno Latour’s passing today. He was an intellectual giant, a friend, & someone whose work inspired me greatly. A thread for those who want to know more about this extraordinary life.
