love is courage in the face of fear and injustice

We call on all academics to NOT renew their memberships to AHA, MLA, AWP or any other professional org that hasn’t taken a clear stance against Israel’s war crimes; to boycott their conferences; and to donate your dues and fees to Palestinians here: https://t.co/rqwc9TGQd9

...receive the good feeling.”
this 'like a drug' attitude she identifies reeks nicely of consumerist cultures, yet some of the loudest critics of consumerism commit this folly over and over

reading back bell hooks all about love and some gold quotes: “Genuine love is rarely an emotional space where needs are instantly gratified. To know love we have to invest time and commitment...'dreaming that love will save us, solve all our problems or provide a steady ...

This is probably too obvious to even say but the opposite of “collegiality” is “solidarity”

the mental health pathologisation thing means people increasingly dont put themselves out of their comfort zones. seeing this shit hardwired even amongst the direst critics of 'mental illness' stigmata who will choose to keep their worlds small and never challenge themselves.

unlike neoliberal appropriation of the term, Black feminism's 'self-care' and 'self-love' was never about spoiling ourselves to raise bratty inner children who will always resist being pushed out of their material/intellectual/emotional comfort zones. thats just bad parenting
