"And now there's all this talk in university about “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” And we know what people mean when they say “inclusion.” Or we know some of what they sometimes mean. And sometimes some of that is really good. But I often wish that we thought about using, even though it's more unwieldy, the term “non-exclusion.” Because it's kind of like, I don't want to be excluded from this particular set of resources, from this particular set of chances, from this particular set of responsibilities. But I don't want to be included in the already existing form of those things. When I come in, as Anna Julia Cooper says, and Paula Giddings echoes, where and when I enter, it's got to change. It's not enough for you to welcome me into your thing. You have to be open to the possibility and the fact that when we get there, it's going to be different. It's got to be different. It can't simply be the same old structure that used to exclude us. And this has to be something that you can be open to. And ideally it would be something that you would desire." -Fred Moten

“Kasuri also gives us a rare insight into the minds of the Pakistan Army, the contribution of the Foreign Office and his warm but complex relationship with President Musharraf. Blending analysis with choice anecdote, Neither a Hawk nor a Dove gives us a comprehensive and revealing account of Pakistan’s politics and the political compulsions of those at the helm.” 🌱

The thing is, people have charm only through their madness, that’s what is so hard to understand. A person's real charm is the side that shows them as somewhat unhinged, the side where even they don't really know their whereabouts.

When you’ve been cooking for long enough, you stop making recipes and start making “shit in a skillet” and “whatever soup”
