"in this book optimism is not a map of pathology but a social relation involving attachments that organize the present. it is an orientation toward the pleasure that is bound up in the activity of world-making, which may be hooked on futures, or not. [...] optimism is, instead, a scene of negotiated sustenance that makes life bearable as it presents itself ambivalently, unevenly, incoherently." (14)

I began reading this, but if I’m being completely honest, I feel like my brain started melting only a couple pages in… this will definitely be something that I juggle with other books 📚😵💫
