So, what are you reading?
I'm still on Kendi's How to be an Antiracist. So far, mixed feelings. I have found his attempt to dissolve assumptions of racial difference very humanizing, and of practical merit. On the other hand, while he sounds perfectly innocent when discussing race with other minorities, when prodded far enough it always seems to come back to "whiteness" in the end. In fairness, Kendi's take on white individuals is fairly nuanced.
Paper I'm reading: Walter Benjamin's The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.
Finished Eye of the Bedlam Bride. It was pretty fun. Also got caught up on Super Supportive; it was already enjoyable but took a turn towards fantastic recently--I definitely recommend it. In the meantime I'm continuing to read Path of Ascension which is still OK.
