Chilling. Perhaps coloniality’s worst quality is that it begets more of itself: always consuming, always growing to fuel the profit imperative. Those of us committed to progress have much work ahead - but at least we may find solace, humour and strength in the arts 🎭

And your pleasure in the writing really shows. I was laughing out loud in my kitchen, so hard that my wife thought I was crying and came to check on me! 🤣 Delighted to discover your work!

Presently tearing my way through it. You won’t be disappointed. The knife that keeps on twisting.

Hahaha! 🤣 Love this! Long live, Dax!
