In DLMBL, it mentions in "you" which shows it is being direct and powerful talking to the reader so it makes you feel connected in some way. #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

The anti-environment idea connects w/ DLMBL by uncomfy ithe reading is. But the whole idea is the discomfort, which pushes us to questions we don't like. #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

ngl Ashley u explained a lot but I think DLMBL connected to the “you” as like a field where our personal things shape our surrounding perception of others and identity. I think the story makes us live in the “you” perspective? #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

rankine calls us “you” and like I said 100 times it’s to connect us but also create a distance between us, who she talking to, me? or YOU. Get it? Lol #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

I feel lik her way of throwing u off is to engage with her more , she hooks us to the story because she knows we uncertain and like lowkey movies gotta start doing that more. I know too much about films now lol #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

#hwa6 #finaltweetthread bro dlmbl whole vibe is making the readers confused. Like it works through an anti environment by making you think stuff you would never think bout. I think while I read I was thinking in my head bout ideas, but I was so confused like why I’m doin that?

#hwa6 #finaltweetthread At the end of the day, its just trying to stay human in a place that won’t hold you. Ashley’s framing helped me see that the static is the point.

#hwa6 #finaltweetthread This ties into Sylvia Wynter and the genre of the human. DLMBL feels like a project of rebuilding the human from the ground up when the current genre doesn't have space for you.

#hwa6 #finaltweetthread The relationship between image and form is basically an argument. Those floating boxes and blank spaces are interruptions that prove documentation doesn't always equal understanding.

#hwa6 #finaltweetthread Rankine uses images to destabilize us. It shows that the politics of recognition is messy. you can have all the "facts" or "photos" and still not truly see the human behind them.

#hwa6 #finaltweetthread It’s like the book keeps showing us how it withdraws into TV static. When the world around you won’t hold you, sometimes clarity is the only way to actually survive.

#hwa6 #finaltweetthread the breakdown of DLMBL for sure cleared up some of the confusion about what it means. But im still stuck on some of the nuances.

Overall Ashley’s framing of DLMBL as an anti-environment made me rethink what “context” even means. You’re left trying to stay human in a place that won’t hold you at the end. #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

Seeing that in an anti-environment the second person becomes a survival strategy you know it is a way of reaching for connection when the world won’t provide it. #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

Putting all this together DLMBL uses form, and images. The book obviously isn’t just about loneliness but it’s about the politics of recognition. #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

Ashley’s point about form helped me see how they used visuals as interruptions. Those images also they destabilize. And that documentation doesn’t always equal understanding. #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

I feel like Part 3 of #hwa6 made me see DLMBL as a project of rebuilding the human. I feel like sometimes clarity is the only way to survive an anti environment. #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

Ashley’s breakdown of DLMBL as an anti-environment finally clicked for me and I can see a world where the “environment” refuses to soothe you know. #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

The book doesn’t simply soley tell a story as it changes how you read, think and even define what it means to be human and it makes you stay in the static instead of escsping it. #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

Sylvia Wynter explsined this on a bigger level by saying that what we think of as human isn’t nautral but actually constructed and the idea of a rational stable individual is just one veesion and not the only truth. #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

this is basically where negative capability comes in since you have to sit with confusion and not try to fuly resolve everythung and the book trains you to accept uncertainty instead of looking for clear answers. #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

So you’re not just reading about greif, illness, or racial violence as you’re being pulled into that emotional and mental space. The fotm helps to force you to experience it rather than just understand it. #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

I can see how form is really important here given it’s not just about what the book says but about what it makes you feel. The disjointed structure and silence and repettion create an atmosphere instead of a straihtforward message. #hwa6 #finaltweetthread
