History of settler state's brutal attacks repeating itself again and again and again with total impunity. (The two pages are taken from Jasbir Puar's "Right to Maim", pages 128-9.)

❤️The unsurpassable generosity of the Earth. Something that colonialist, capitalist and extractivist cruelty will never be able to consume.

“Activist affordances” are meant to offer a vocabulary for such exceedingly subtle yet profoundly artistic choreographies that disabled ppl have to continually rehearse everyday to make the world more habitable for themselves & others. www.dukeupress.edu/activist-aff...

Such choreographies that disabled people have to rehearse everyday, no matter how tiny, how brief, and how ordinary they may appear, are nothing short of acts of world-building. #ActivistAffordances #everydaychoreographiesofdisabledliving #disability #activism #worldmaking

People ask me, why call these affordances as "world-making" or as "activist"? After all, what could be so radical or so world-altering about, well, holding a spoon or buttoning a shirt differently? That's exactly why I felt the need to write this book. #disability #activism #worldmaking
