The systemic approach that allows us to apprehend how individuals who think they are freely thinking are actually producing ideas within a particular bubble that might appear free to them, but when you analyze it materially, what is clearly brought to the fore is that they are products of a system, and their freedom is a result of never running far enough from their owners to feel the leash.
Gabriel Rockhill

Jason Reynolds
The moon was a lightbulb dangling from a high ceiling, But in Brooklyn, there were no stars. Not in the sky. Miles, climbed along side his building up to the roof. Once there, he looked out at the New York City skyline and imagined that all the stars that were supposed to be there had fallen, and now sparkled much closer to the ground.
Jason Reynolds, Miles Morales Suspended
