"But I couldn't attend to the poems. I wanted—I needed—to check my texts, my email, to swipe and scroll and photograph, to frame and filter and archive, to share my location etc. so as not only, not fully, to be where I was; since at least 2008, to be where I was was too much for me, or too little. I put down the book and removed my phone from my pocket and pressed the side buttons and put it back in my pocket. I stood up to take a closer look at an area of wall where there were several studies of hands in red chalk, but I was faking it; my eyes were saccadic ... I was glitching, craving my cellular phone on a cellular level, shamefully unresponsive to the old media that surrounded me: books, paintings, analog photographs, a vinyl record spinning somewhere in my mentor's house." —Ben Lerner, Transcription

“Stop thinking about saving your fragile face. Tell us your particularized world. Make up a story. Narrative is radical, creating us at the very moment it is being created. We will not blame you if your reach exceeds your grasp. We will not blame you if your words go down in flames and nothing is left but the raw-scald. We will not blame you if, with the reticence of a surgeon’s hands, your words suture only the red places where blood might flow. We will not blame you because we know you can never do it properly: once and for all. Passion is never enough. Talent is never enough. Skill is never enough. But try. For our sake and yours. So. Forget your name in the street; tell us what the world has been to you in the dark places and in the light. Don’t tell us what to believe, what to fear. Show us belief’s wide skirt and the stitch that unravels fear’s caul. You, so blessed with occasional blindness, can speak the language that tells us what only language can: how to see without pictures. We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”

— Toni Morrison, The Nobel Lecture In Literature, 1993

“For some reason, we are truly convinced that if we criticize ourselves, the criticism will lead to change. If we are harsh, we believe we will end up being kind. If we shame ourselves, we believe we end up loving ourselves. It has never been true, not for a moment, that shame leads to love. Only love leads to love.”

— Geneen Roth

like point blank a man that says rape is ok if it happens to xyz woman is a man that is untrustworthy for women as a whole, a man that says sexual violence from men is justified under “the right circumstances” is a man that is a threat to all women, this is not complicated, a good leftist man would not say that, there is no context to make it better, his fundamental beliefs are skewed against women, and hes dressing it up as simply being anti rich people, and yall r falling for it bc u cannot see past his exterior
