i do want to finish 'dawn of everything' -- + i woke up possessed by the urge to rebind this very large book into four more manageable volumes // hopefully the first book-binding success of many

reading frantz fanon today
a picture of frantz fanon's 'the wretched of the earth,' open to page 62, with the text : 'This colossal task, which consists of reintroducing man into the world, man in his totality, will be achieved with the crucial help of the European masses who would do well to confess that they have often rallied behind the position of our common masters on colonial issues. In order to do this, the European masses must first of all decide to wake up, put on their thinking caps and stop playing the irresponsible game of Sleeping Beauty.' a white trillium awash in sunlight
