The poetic tradition strikes again! How can such deep grieving, riotous joy, and intelligent hope arrive on the same train? Bayo Akomolafe delivers an amazing array of delicious, thought-provoking, pattern-interrupting ideas, feelings, and residual brilliance...

Gorgeous. Thank you Bayo

Thanks for your clarity on language and its control on our thinking - trapped 32:00 reframing - we need to find other ways of co-creating, the issue is not victory, … we need a third way … that melts in the hospitality of our siblings. … 38:00 minor jesters - small revolutions

What a con artist. What a seducer. It's just brilliant to see how people will fall for everything if they don't stand for something.

[@argeniaparkinson3891]

From someone who claims a name like yours this is hilariously ironic! 😂

[@ICANTOUCHTHESUN]

@@argeniaparkinson3891 You really didn't get the reference to Icarus? Apparently, priming isn't anymore what it used to be. 😒

[@argeniaparkinson3891]

Thank you so much, this is so enheartening, and bone true! My understanding has deepened immensely, and crystallised. Yes, “in a game of sides, we always lose the other side”. Yes, we need another way. “The third way is that which breaks the binary”.
