i finished the angela davis i was reading, so onto MLK for black history month. Good stuff and the libs like him so it's an easy in for ~~ our methods ~~ I think i actually found this book "Where do we go from here" from one of the dope megathreads lol.
First chapter he starts talking about police being violent to nonviolent protesters and how whites say they want integration but won't actually lift a finger or change their behavior at all to help the negroes. Oh, how litttle has changed.
currently reading:
Coup D'etat, A Practical Handbook and State and Revolution.
Coup D'etat is a really good read, and I'd recommend it if you have any interest in that field.
Just finished up The Trouble With Being Born by Emil Cioran. Depressing beyond words, really. Ultimate doomer hours, but very poeticly written.
Love The Trouble With Being Born. I need to read more Cioran.
I am reading my textbooks of course. Also:
- The Educational Imagination by Elliot W. Eisner.
- Art of Learning by Josh Waitzkin — book friends and I need to discuss Part 2 and we'll be on to the last section.
On Library Hold:
- Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler
- Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson.
Surveillance Valley By Yasha Levine. Super interesting account of the military history of the internet we aren't told about much.
I looove Lathe of Heaven. About to start Left Hand of Darkness. Is the anthology her work or edited/selected by her?
Cool cool. I’m looking forward to reading more of her stuff
