tonight we discussed the evolution of Deaf poetry and internalized audism and how we can reframe history through counter-narratives and I felt the exact same absolute captivation with his lecture that I remember feeling during my very first class with him two years ago
it is a feeling I've never gotten learning about any other subject in an academic setting and it is so wholly reaffirming that I am studying the right thing and it isn't a feeling I've had about my major in a while
now i'm snug in bed and i finally found some time to start reading the copy of meg day's chapbook that she sent me in the mail and doing this also feels right
on the title page of the book she wrote: "to max, who also starts with the hands."
