@selfcoding.bsky.social is where I am going to be at.

Birthmarks on newborn babies used to be called "longing-marks" and were believed to take on the shape of something desired by the mother. Pouring a drink and wishing I'd asked the mom who marked me with desire what on earth she'd been desiring.

Paulo Freire was preaching when he said teaching cannot be neutral it either dismantles systemic inequities or perpetuates them

everyone is participating in the "what to do about young men" debate without actually discussing the book that figured out what needs to happen 52 years ago, we need to stop them from continuing to get oedipized over and over again by patriarchal systems

I recommend Ernst Bloch's essay 'Marxism and Poetry' to everyone, not just poets. But to poets I recommend drinking 3 beers before reading this essay

[Paul Anleitner @PaulAnleitner]

I don't study politics, but I do study culture, and here are some of the signs that a cultural shift has been brewing for years in America that most of the professional political analysts just completely missed.

Some of these may seem absurd, but hear me out. 🧵
We'll start with this one:

[Yoon @nicoscosc]

Deleuze: For Proust, to write is to “read the inner book of these unknown signs… There is no logos, there are only hieroglyphs. To think is therefore to interpret, is therefore to translate.”

— Ricardo Piglia, The Diaries of Emilio Renzi (tr. Robert Croll)

[Wu Tang is for the Children @WUTangKids]

I have a new Queen….her name is Patti LuPone

[Yoon @nicoscosc]

“I would like—with Rimbaud—to eat stones.”

Alejandra Pizarnik (Diaries, 1959)

“…in the end, a poet was someone for whom the world didn’t even exist, because, for him, there was only the radiance of the eternal outside.”

— Enrique Vila-Matas, The Illogic of Kassel (tr. McLean and Milsom)

[Impressions @impression_ists]

Monet, Sunset on the Seine

[Yoon @nicoscosc]

“The work [of literature] always means: not knowing that art exists already, not knowing that there is already a world.”

— Blanchot, The Space of Literature (tr. Ann Smock)
