It might be too late! I were nowhere before! But here is a small voice of an anthropologist exploring new media through which to think with life. It’s all about the nuances of thought and emotion, bridging the analytical with the poetic.

I sit, alone in my small room, looking out from across the street. Through the dim window, I see you, half-lit by the faint glow of your lamps. You’re sitting there, quiet, with your cat curled on your lap, as if you and he are pieces of another world that have settled momentarily here, in this one.
People cling to ideas like “there are only men and women” without ever questioning their own ignorance. If you haven’t taken the time to actually learn about it, you’re not contributing to the conversation; you’re just exposing how little you know. #gender

Have you watched the movie “Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World”?
It’s a Romanian dark comedy directed by Radu Jude. It’s amazing!

I’m not Syrian, I’m not Arab. Yet, as I follow the news, I’m too restless to sleep. Part of me feels as if I’m celebrating in the streets of Damascus with the people, while another part of me is deeply concerned about the future. I wish the best for the resilient and great people of Syria.

What are your thoughts on #ghosting in a #relationship, not necessarily a romantic one, but even in #friendships?
Do you think it’s inherently unethical? Are there circumstances where it might not be?
Can you think of any works of #literature or #cinema exploring the complexities of ghosting?

There’s something about alleys
dead ends, especially
they feel like my heart
since you ghosted me.
Streets are cruel but kind.
They reject no one
not even the unhoused
I walk and walk
seeking cracks in old asphalt
where my heart might grow
or maybe find you.
I wish the streets loved me back.

Colors spin,
a restless waltz in nature’s breath.
Tunes dissolve,
my eyes, wet with wonder,
catch a wave
a hymn of hues,
fleeting, endless.

Oh, writers, poets, and wandering minds,
I’m here—alone—in this stillness confined.
Come seek me, find me, in words or dreams,
In the echoes of silence, where meaning gleams.

Did you know that the movie The Matrix owes much of its philosophical depth to Jean Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation?

Have you ever felt like this? It’s strange, this thing we call feeling. What is this voice, this pulse, this echo—inside, outside? Where, really, is the boundary between inside and outside? All these people, sitting here, standing here, they must wonder the same, though no one says a word.

Ambiguity is not the same as contradiction. While emotional and ethical coherence can limit one’s worldview, a tolerance for ambiguity strengthens it. In the realm of art, ambiguity finds its truest expression—where language transcends clarity and embraces the beauty of the uncertain.

Now, I’m flying over Colorado,
Thinking of borders, boundaries—
The invisible lines between us,
What makes distance real.
But all boundaries are illusions.
I want to dissolve in your laughter,
In the tears you shed when joy overwhelms you.
Let me vanish. Like snow melting in sunlight.

I’m listening to your playlist,
Uncertain of the songs that move you,
The melodies that cradle your thoughts.
I don’t even know the sound of your voice,
Yet I imagine it—
Like waves softly folding against the shore,
Or perhaps gentler still!

Thinking about this passage by Adorno:
“Intolerance of emotional and cognitive ambiguity seems not only to be a characteristic of the personality of the ethnically prejudiced; it also appears as part of the explicitly stated ego-ideal of exponents of Nazi ideology.”

Just something I’ve been thinking about:
How do we honor lost and marginalized histories without letting them confine our imagination for new futures? Can recovery and reinvention coexist, or are we always negotiating the tension between the two? What do you think?
