I got interviewed for the Deadbeat Philosophy podcast, talking about Audre Lorde's thought and her impact, including why philosophers should care.

Lorde's work makes a demand of her readers, and I think more philosophers and theorists need to answer to it

‘Although she attended Combahee consciousness raising retreats, Lorde never invoked the terminology of identity politics. She was more preoccupied with the way difference is mediated.’

Watching all the videos of everyday ppl’s resistance to ICE has me thinking about this observation by Audre Lorde, on what US freedom fighters can learn from South Africa

Lorde: "Like the volcano... in any revolutionary process there's a period of intensification & a period of explosion. We must become familiar with the requirements & symptoms of each period, & use the differences between them to our mutual advantage, learning & supporting each other’s battles." 4/4

‘Audre Lorde described poetry as “an expression, with love, of some piece of the world in which the poet lives”. But she also made clear that her world was expanding.’

A thought-provoking discussion of Audre Lorde and of Alexis's wonderful book. @keeanga.bsky.social makes an interesting case that Lorde's politics of coalition and difference departed from the identity politics of CRC, and she's right on about Lorde's focus on the personal dimension of revolution 1/

‘Lorde offered a politics that dealt in the realities of survival as well as the necessity of defiance: she refused to give ground to white feminists or to a Black nationalism that assumed women’s subservience.’

Baldwin: A change, real change is brought about when the people make a change. The poet or the revolutionary can articulate the necessity, but until the people themselves apprehend it nothing can happen. When the people have taken the necessity, when the movement starts moving, then the world moves.
James Baldwin smokes as he listens to a question from the audience at the Liederhalle in Stuttgart, Feb. 16, 1973. (Regis Bossu/Stars and Stripes)

Every Canadian should know about Dr. Peter Bryce and his damning report, which was unceremoniously shelved by the federal government.

Indigenous children didn’t “just” die from disease. They were forced into residential schools despite govt knowing the risks.
