[@legibitiqua2]

I love them!!! The Ada was the first character of theirs I encountered who deeply impacted me. Emezi is an amazing author!

“I only belong in places I create” I feel that’s so heartedly

How awesome, I love that people can see/hear/read your work, can see you irl or on video and know creating a place is an option for them as well.

I so agree Akwaeke! I don't wait for others to create a space for me in their world I make or create my own

wow. this is one of the most powerful, simple, profound things I've heard from literally anyone. this is so, exactly, *exactly* the same place I've been coming to. they just described the culmination of everything I've been learning too. THAT IS SO AMAZING ;~;

So, true: the body is in a liminal space, indeed. So is the mind. We change our smart phones every year or so, we update the apps on them even more often. The body, hardware; the minds, its thoughts, the software.. We are neither. We are users, aware.
