Listening to a fascinating talk at @ids.ac.uk by @stillsherises.bsky.social on her book 'African Feminist Praxis: Cartographies of Liberatory Worldmaking'. A great tonic for the current strange times. "The reality is that politics is always felt in the body..."

Funny how it uses the word “imagine”…cos imagination will be the first casualty of this BS.

What’s exciting about a world where nobody learns anything new? Cos it’s very clear that’s where this is gonna end up.

"Imagine a world in which an A.I. can analyze your reading patterns and alert you that you’re about to buy a book where there’s only a 10 percent chance you’ll get past Page 6..."

Fuck off. That's not empowerment, that's outsourcing your soul. That's outsouling.

What is striking is how little of this #afrifem praxis (the magical union of thought and action) is documented in ways that can be cited, taught & duly recognised. I ended up tracing back to anti-colonial struggles as #africanfeministpraxis is rooted there. Documenting my contemporaries though was ✨
