Thank you for your kind words, very good to hear from you! -- yes, it's remarkable how difficult it seems for many to integrate what for six years has been in front of their eyes so vividly. I love the article on Hull and anti-blackness. On a different note, have you worked on reparations at all?

Fantastic, looks very promising! I like the combination of Stengers, and the politics of life is certainly something I see many people engage in as well
