Lyotard, Libidinal Economy

espirit escalier by omgukilledkenney

There is no binary division to be made between what one says and what one does not say; we must try to determine the different ways of not saying such things, how those who can and those who cannot speak of them are distributed, which type of discourse is authorized, or which form of discretion is required in either case. There is not one but many silences, and they are an integral part of the strategies that underlie and permeate discourses.

this site definitely doesn't allow you to paste the link to any article blocked by a paywall (say, a NYT article) so that you can read it free of charge! that would be illegal and would benefit broke college students too much. it definitely does not do that. promise.

girl help i’m starting over again for the 1000th time & i’m beginning to think that life is a never-ending cycle of starting over & i actually have to make peace with that in order to move forward

remember when tumblr was "relevant".. I´m talking 2015, 2016

and people would make these info posts on a social issue in X part of the world in the most annoying moralizing tone "why the FUCK is no one talking about this and I have to scroll through 20 cat GIFs" type of shit

that was crazy

also it has travelled on to insta, I think

“Justice. To be ever ready to admit that another person is some thing quite different from what we read when he is there (or when we think about him). Or rather, to read in him that he is certainly something different, perhaps something completely different, from from what we read in him. Every being cries out silently to be read differently.

We read, but also we are read by, others. Interferences in these readings. Forcing someone to read himself as we read him (slavery). Forcing others to read us as we read ourselves (conquest). A mechanical process. More often than not a dialogue between deaf people.”

—Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace (tr. Emma Crawford & Mario von der Ruhr)
