Good morning,
Last night, lying in bed, the title of an essay I've been working on for months came to me: Sowing Devil's Teeth. It's an American Southernism of sowing dragon's teeth. The essay is about the writings of my ancestral grandmother disbursing the Myth of the Lost Cause, thus laying the foundation for lynching. I kept wanting something that told the truth without being so judgey. I think this is it.
"Most often, I tend to locate the web’s significance in something that feels concrete: in pirate libraries, censorship circumvention, collective knowledge projects, and open data. One thing I think the web does very well [...] is to collapse a lot of things — people, times, places, images, writing — into one place, together."

I wrote a longish rebuttal piece on #TrumpTariffs for those interested. The essay looks at the administration’s miscalculations, poor logic and bad math. Then it reviews int’l reactions, especially the Chinese response, with an eye to the likelihood of a #TradeWar breaking out. Finally, the piece concludes with a warning about the potential for and danger of #stagflation and how that might result from Trump’s folly. #economics #Tariffs #essay https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QQR1E6wZKvl4rjCHmRepoWM_Lp7UQJWpSSpdWbEI31M/edit

Guest Contribution by #Mohamed #Hussien: "In #Defense of #Weak #Dualism"
This guest post is by Mohamed Hussien, who contacted me to see if I could publish his #essay "In Defense of Weak Dualism" on my site. It is true that I am not one of the outspoken "defenders of #dualism", whether weak or strong. On the contrary, I am primarily interested in #overcoming the 2500 years old #misconception in the #philosophy of #mind.
The originaltext is in English.

The Tower & The Star
One must accept death in order to truly live.
The concept of a relationship as having expectations, as having any rules, as bonds, must dissolve in order for your partner to have real agency.
Each partner must accept that the relationship is over before it can begin.
Each person is a solar system surrounding the brilliant star 
of their divine spark, they can not be contained.
If you shine bright enough, you won't have to worry about your loved ones leaving.
In this essay I will...
Als Gesellschaft sind wir süchtig nach Transformationen und Vorher-Nachher Vergleichen. Auch ich habe immer wieder Transition Timelines gepostet.
Was steckt dahinter?
Wieso denke ich, dass gerade uns trans Personen diese ewig trendenden Vergleiche schaden?
Teilen wäre toll!
