      - Creation as a form of resistance and healing? How?
      - Poetry and poetic innovation as Afrofuturism?
      - Where is the music in all of this?
      - creative work vs. academic work - how different, what needs to change
      - Brutal brilliance - that which services but destroys what it needs to survive long term
    - - clppng - the deep. a world underwater where the fetuses of enslaved women thrown overboard during the middle passage learned to breath - write a poem for this
      - Lizzie Mae's reactions to questions NOW about THEN - Azie Dungey write a poem for this
      - Butler: love and power, who then is the stronger of the two? He who kills so absentmindedly or she who submits poem for this
      - Colman, "We don't have time" - reaction to working slowly towards collaboration - hierarchies as necessary, familiar, though world is dying write poem for this
        
        Hierarchies privilege systems of abuse.
        
        I disagree, we must slow down, we must MAKE time, we must allow the process to happen organically - develop a slow culture

      - History of afropunk
      - Wilkerson - Caste
      - Cinderella (2021) - grotesque coterie of uncontextualized songs/ideas - intermixing cultural understanding in post radicalized ideology?
        
        However, the scene where she smashes the cello for 7 nations song is cool. why? write a poem to this one
      - How do we create a world (speculative) for the long term? How do we move away from short term thinking?
      - To read a book nonlinearly!! To assess self first, then pick and choose, to have a conversation with those ideas.
      - Exterminate All the Brutes - the great lie!
      - (1977) THE COMBAHEE RIVER COLLECTIVE STATEMENT
      - Cosmic Slop: Space traders
      - To think on multiple registers at the same time, to know the master and slave language, to see what should come before it is written, to understand praxis both from application and lived experiences
    - - Story telling, myth, belief in magic: it is truth.... That is where our seeds are… it is not possible to hone in only on the crisis… fantasy… terribly realist… a black writer must bare witness… record
        Toni Morrison
      - Things that were disorganized for me before made no sense… when I manipulated, I saw colors, language, music… It was a way of thinking, feeling, a way of life. - Toni Morrison

      - "We are socialized to see what is wrong, missing, off, to tear down the ideas of others to uplift our own" - Brown
      - Western civilization, as we experience it today, is the expression of that new social system: an economic world system. I suggest that what took place then – i.e., in the sixteenth century – was a MUTATION rather than a simple evolutionary process - Wynter
      - If Black women were free, it would mean that everyone else would have to be free since our freedom would necessitate the destruction of all the systems of oppression.

      - To build a world means to understand OUR world, who but black people have had the vantage to see everything
      - sociogeny envisions human being (or experience) as not merely biological, but also based in stories and symbolic meanings generated within culturally specific contexts. Sociogeny as a theory therefore overrides, and cannot be understood within, Cartesian dualism for Wynter. The social and the cultural influence the biological.
      - Trauma is body based - Stephen Porges
    - - Sociogeny

    - - Racism... is a form of theft.... it has justified the theft of land, labor, and life.... but racism also robs us of our relationships, stealing our capacity to trust one another, ripping away the social fabric, every anonymous post pilfering our ability to build community" - Benjamin
      - What makes that upsetting for the black people who are involuntarily subjected to it is that, every day our lives are actively threatened by ideas that are strictly conceptual/passive for white people.” -Stacia L Brown
      - The more I fed into music, the less I cared about poetry,” she explains. “Now it’s sort of the same thing, where the more I’m feeding into political education and organizing and the mutual-aid work that we’re doing and just this … whatever this is, I’m starting to be a little less interested in making music.”
      - sarcastically "if only there was away to slay centuries of racism with a social justice bot" - Ruha Benjamin
      - Too often "inclusion" is limited to the visible representation of people of color and presumes that those who are excluded want to be a part of a tech future envisioned by others. - Benjamin
      - There is nothing wrong with making things people want. It’s just that too little attention is being paid to the things people need. The wants and needs of young, healthy, middle-class people with connections and a reasonable amount of spare cash are overrepresented among Start-up City’s priorities. For one thing, those are the problems with solutions that sell. For another, given a few million dollars and a team of semi-geniuses, those problems are easy to solve. -Laurie Penny (Chock-Costanza)
