this is triggering for me because i’m remembering when i overheard a dude ask the barista if she’d read audre lorde, before proceeding to tell her that she should write a book called “sister barista”

Fredric Jameson "made an appearance at a University of Michigan literary conference several years ago conditional on the university also arranging for him to give a public address on Palestine, where he defended the right of self-determination with force and clarity."

to invoke the possibility of “genocide, by either side” is to magically summon a parity that does not exist. only one “side” here has the means—the infrastructure—of genocide at its disposal.
Heartbreaking how many previously sane people on this wretched website are cheering on a genocide, by either side. This is not a damn football match. These are people, most of whom were never asked if they wanted this.

one of the strangest ironies of academy is that sometimes it's gonna be the straight, white cis dude who is the most sympathetic and chill interlocutor. and the queer or whatever, hopped up on their own marginality, is going to be incredibly vicious and territorial.

i think this sort of misses the point. emory douglas is on the cover *because* of the editor, david velasco. maybe it reads as hypocrisy after the fact of his firing, but under velasco artforum was a place where pro-palestinian positions could be sincerely and openly expressed.
Artforum firing their editor for signing a letter of support for a Free Palestine while having Black Panther artist Emory Douglas on their cover is peak art world hypocrisy. The Black Panthers were extremely vocal in their support for Palestine, absolutely shameful.
