"I wonder about the history of attempted workers revolution by Dalitbahujan castes. It seems like the situational markers are all kind of there" — Aug 11, 2026 03:41AM

"What a powerful and comprehensive read so far. It's ironic I needed to leave a toxic workspace where I was providing direct support to many survivors of violence to have the bandwidth to deepen my knowledge. I'm thinking a lot about how the different care settings and level of intensity privilege different levels of work." — Jul 20, 2026 08:01PM

“Sonnet XVII
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way than this:
where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. ”
