Reviews and Comments

I saw Masha Green's interview on Democracy Now and the way they described their work made me extremely curious in what they've written.

Another add to my list in how city(-states) contribute to the Modern Spectacle (and my want to understand it as someone who's only lived in them).

I only want to read this out of curiousity to see the perspective of state-sponsored terror advocates and what that'd look like. Another library rental that might linger for a bit.

Picked this up from the library to skim a chapter as it was made in reference to another.

Watched the show so now I borrowed the book to check out more of the scene.

I have contentions with some of the arguments made. There's some narrowing of scope that's implicitly retracted (focusing on the African American experience while neutering the fact that Blackness online isn't really gated by nationality and as such as, becomes a LOT MORE than AfAms). Other than that, I'm very interested in this idea of the libidinal economy and how the notion of Black joy being manifest on the Web is something to be focused on more.

Wow wow wow. A man who managed to duck out of so many situations, write so much and still couldn't live out his own wish: to fade into obscurity and contribute to the cause of liberation. Salute to you B. Traven!

There's a lot of context I'm missing here but I did recognize some names as I'm reading this. Learning about Germany's tumultuous battle with socialism and communism (can it be called that?) is wild and even more jarring seeing this in an illustrated form.

This book is a professional rant with some fat-phobic tendencies sprinkled throughout the book (make data lean! go out and exercise; lest you become obese with data). The extremely lanky approach to approach (no explicit footnotes so you have to infer whether or not the point is speculative or from a source without losing your positions because the formatting implies that only bolding text was an option).

The point about data waste (keeping 10 when two will do) and hardware waste manufactured by corporate profits (with clear lines to Big American Tech) were good but they were assulted by rants surrounding it. You're better off listening directly to climate experts, iFixTech and werepair.org/ directly - this book is worth missing, for your vision.

I've been very excited to start this book and it hasn't disappointed!

A dense but poignant read inspecting Fanon's obsession/observation around human movement and the role its plays into liberation.

LIVE YOUR LIFE, JANIE! Don't let no MAN HOLD YOU BACK!

Damn, $40 for access to the Black-only BBS?!?
