in completely unrelated news, I just started reading Violent Phenomena (essay collection on translation & de/colonialism), and I think it's safe to say that this is just a subject that now permanently scrambles my brain in a centrifuge (complimentary)

#language and how people & cultures use it & the sheer amount of social/personal meaning that gets compressed into it #is just an endless depth of.... *something* that makes my brain start approximating a fidget spinner #I think sort of like how people sometimes talk about awe?#& feelings of being a tiny part of a huge incomprehensible totality that is the universe?#so that plus my existing interest in... creation and use of and resistance to power? I guess?#instant intellectual/emotional vortex #James liveblogs books #I mean sort of. by a loose definition.#but yeah. just. idk. something about the recursiveness of people's willingness to share these pieces of themselves #with an open set of an audience specifically #and the ways in which my ability to interact with the topic like this at all is. ancillary to its purpose perhaps to begin with?
