Thank you!

@sadfrancisco.bsky.social I would like to teach one of your podcast episodes from February! Do you by chance have transcripts of your podcast? Or is there a way I could email you all directly to ask? Thanks!

oh god

This is absolutely fantastic.

It would be really awesome if we could have a small Cedric Robinson conference for people working primarily on theory building with his ideas. Just throwing it out there!

“That Could Have Been Me”: The People Derek Chauvin Choked Before George Floyd They describe an officer quick to use force and callous about their pain.

Nearly three years before the Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd as he cried that he couldn’t breathe, Zoya Code found herself in a similar position: handcuffed facedown on the ground, with Chauvin’s knee on her. Code said she began pleading: “Don’t kill me.”

Friend and colleague, @bodegagyroao.bsky.social made this fantastic poster for Friday's talk. I hope this talk is just the beginning. Feel free to DM me for zoom link or see you in person!

ah right! just followed you back. Thanks for expressing interest. I also look forward to any feedback or comments you might have for me.

The lecture will share information collected from his archive and reconstruct the dense arguments he makes about charisma. In the discussion of Robinson, I invite the audience to think about how his critique can be fruitfully applied to current political conditions.

The lecture will cover ideas from his review of Michael Polyani's Personal Knowledge (1968), his writing on Malcolm X as a Charismatic Leader (1972), and his dissertation "Leadership: a Mythic Paradigm" (1975) which was later published as The Terms of Order (1980).

I love and appreciate this. I try to describe the feeling of drawing from nothing even though there's more to do -- more I will/want to do! These words are so relatable to so many I imagine and it's nice to be in company.

In this talk, Osorio "calls on Indigenous movements to refuse narrow frameworks of sovereignty offered by imperial legal systems and instead cultivate practices of care, refuge, and solidarity as the foundations of a global decolonial future."

I have been working over the last 8 months to bring Jamaica Osorio, esteemed scholar & kanaka maoli activist, to speak at Stanford. Osorio's timely and powerful lecture is entitled, "E Mau ke Ea: Sovereignty, Sanctuary, and Collective Liberation." Please join us in person or on zoom! (RSVP below)

Thank you, David.

I often think about comparing crafts in life. What does it mean to sculpt a theory? What does it look like for a theory to emerge through paint? This is some of that exploration.

These are sketches from migraine days that lasted weeks in the beginning of this year. Capturing the feeling of the brain/mind as an image of the overall body, pushes me to see brain-related distress differently. I love her; she still hangs out on this Walter Rodney book :)

We love you, Chase. ❤️

Sculpture allows us to see ourselves in still moments. It allows me to imagine myself in different emotional states. What I love about the activity of sculpting a form that resembles my body is the openness -- though I'll always complain about how mentally and physically taxing it is. <3

This is fantastic! As a west coast person, your project reminds me of the anti-eviction mapping project -- "Counterpoints: A San Francisco Bay Area Atlas of Displacement & Resistance."
