realized i haven't uploaded a #WIPsnippet of my book in a while so uh. here ya go
3 Fire A commanding voice snaps like a whip, and is drowned out by bullets. Your hands are warm inside of your friend’s guts. Blood bubbles up between his lips. You call out for him, knowing it won’t make a difference, knowing it’ll attract attention. “For the body,” he gurgles. “The body. The body.” There is a gun covered in blood. Its surface shines silver in the shadow of a corpse. When the masked figure bursts into the room, you point it at him. He stills. You recognize him. He’s the dimpled boy that passed you notes in class, too scrawny for his uniform to sit right. Viscera drips down the crook of your elbow. You cannot shoot. Why couldn’t you? Why couldn’t you? The light splinters off the hammer. Guilt turns to light turns to fire. The fire shrieks and rages, licks the ceiling, and I realize I am distinct from you. Why couldn’t you? The fire howls. Why couldn’t you?

maximizing my dialectic materialism slay
a copy of frantz fanon's the wretched of the earth in the foreground, a tv-screen playing mr. robot in the background excerpt from wretched of the earth (p. 89): What is more, the colonialists make use of this antagonism in their struggle against the nationalist parties. They mobilize the people of the mountains and the up-country-dwellers against the townsfolk. They pitch the hinterland against the scaboard, they rouse up the tribespeople, and we need not be surprised to see Kalondji crowned king of Kasai, just as it was not surprising to see, some years ago, the assembly of the chiefs of Ghana making N'kruma dance to their tune. The political parties do not manage to organize the country districts. Instead of using existing structures and giving them a nationalist or progressive character, they mean to try and destroy living tradition in the colonial framework.

so sorry for not being active my deadline is looming and im too busy writing bangers
In his study, historian Thomas Richards explains the commodity culture of Victorian England as a semiotic system of spectacle, wherein figures of excess were used to mask and distort the process of commodity production. As the imperatives of industrial capitalism grew increasingly intertwined with, and eventually indistinguishable from, cultural ideals and imperatives, the Victorian commodity was “a consolidated image, a visible ideal”, a transcendental object of contemplation elevated above the mundane act of exchange. Likewise, insofar the educated female emigrants took on the taxonomy of ‘surplus’ value for the purposes of trade, they simultaneously exposed the discrepancy in the asserted economic causality of commodity production. Richards’ point that Victorian commodities appear as “the self-validating vanguard of Empire” and “a means so powerful that it can realize itself in the absence of any end,” reveals the commodification of emigrant spinsters as entirely self serving, void of any practical purpose–except consolidating the dialectic link between the spheres of cultural identity and material reality.
