Always a fan of "everyday philosophy": the analysis and exploration of real things that all humans experience transversally. Don't get me wrong, also a big fan of theorizing over what is real or what is good or whatever - but I think it is so valuable to take a long, detailed look at "normal" phenomena to process and make sense of them beyond what you may experience yourself.

In any case, bell hooks dissects love in all its forms and uses it as a lens to criticize our patriarchal, capitalist society. It is lovelessness that leads to such toxic structures, and it is our collective reunion with love that can lead to healthier societies. It is a beautiful lens (omg could we call it rose-colored lens?) to look from, and I couldn't help but linking it in my head with the concept of care (ethics, politics, and communities of care) which is becoming more and more popular as future alternatives to capitalism. So needless to say, I was vibin for most part!!!!

OK full disclosure, I didn't totally vibe with everything, mostly how godly and spiritual she is, and also her view on work (she doesn't hate labor!!!!) - but it is a beautiful philosophical journey to embark on.
