"Deep down, I think we all sensed the ways that Jackass, as we saw it, was a kind of community-building, of getting closer to those you love by partaking in the stupidest, most humiliating, most dangerous acts imaginable. " — Natalie Marlin for Bright Wall/Dark Room

Roseline Mgbodichinma is mourning her aunt. In her beautiful essay for thexylom@journa.host, she writes about grief, the need for witnesses in death, and a Nigerian vegetable soup called egburegbu, the translation of which is “cut” or “kill.”

“[My aunt] loved egburegbu and on the days we cooked it, she would sit cross-legged in the kitchen, patiently waiting for a serving of her favourite soup. This is how I choose to remember her, as someone who loved without caring about the origins of the life around her, or how it will all end.”

I think you should be interested if you want to publish #essays, #poetry, #articles, #newsletters, news, and essentially anything that could fit the old #blog paradigm.

One significant difference is that the character limit will be discarded for a pixel limit. A post will be a page. A thread may be downloaded as an #epub.

Code snippets will be a first-class entity for tech lit.
Scientific references will be a first-class entity for science lit.
If you're a writer, you will have what you need.

Some other interests are #Marxism, #Psychoanalysis, #AfricanLit, #PoliticalEconomy, #Degrowth, #Accelerationism, #Consciousness, #ArabStudies, #Nature, #Biology, #Cosmology and #Quantum, #Surrealism, #Modernism, and #Romanticism.

Language of the accounts can be broad. I can read #English, #French, and #Spanish fluently, and #Arabic reasonably well.

I am a huge advocate for shorter writings. I’m all about #ShortStories and #Essays, and I’d love to follow these sorts of accounts.

Reading Recluse

📗 "A Small Place" by Jamaica Kincaid

Here, some oven mitts. You'll need them because this book is scalding hot.

I love this long essay about the effects of colonialism on Antigua, about the divide between western countries and the way they use the global south for both resources and entertainment, and about the inequality that comes with tourism. Kincaid really does not hold back.

I've been reading and thinking a lot in the last few years about why my life is the way it is, here in Europe. About being lower class, yet still having libraries I can use. About being disabled and discriminated against, but being able to use certain healthcare. About never travelling and struggling with classism, but still having clean water and a roof over my head for now. I'm not able to word it eloquently, but there's a difference between comparing myself to my surroundings ("I'm not that well off") and looking at myself compared to the rest of the world ("I have a great standard of living because all of our forefathers robbed other continents and still our governments and businesses are exploiting the rest of the world"). Because I indirectly profit from years of conquering and war, and although I have limited means to fight the status quo, I want to learn all about it and see in what ways one can at the very least opt out wherever possible. Maybe it's a naive thought, but I'm not sure where else to start.

The author directs her anger more towards the US/EU middle class who plays obnoxious tourist everywhere, but also doesn't stop to critique on how places like hers have changed through exploitation and will never be able to go back to how they were before. And they'll never develop into what they could've been either. It's sad to see that with such clarity. The ripple effects are everlasting and sadly often internalized as well.

A Small Place is almost 40 years old. I can only imagine what a more updated version would look like, now that there is more mass tourism, but also more anti-tourism movements. And now that so many countries are dealing with more natural disasters because of climate change... which in the west is mostly approached as 'a disaster for tourism' without much care for local inhabitants. Things haven't gotten much better, have they?

I'm sure I'll pick up more titles from Jamaica Kincaid soon, both fiction and non-fiction. She writes so well.

Writing makes me happy. And some of what I publish also makes others happy.

Every engagement, no matter how small, is an immense reward for me. It helps me feel like I’m not alone in the human experience.

So, thank you for inspiring me to write articles, essays, and even little posts here on Mastodon. I appreciate all of you.
