  1. "Woke" "wokeness" is used so broadly it's unmoored from any real meaning - essentially, it's used by some people against anything they don't personally like or agree with. #words #meanings #woke

  3. « When you write a poem, you discover that the very necessity of fitting your meaning into such and such a form requires you to search in your imagination for new meanings. You reject certain ways of saying it; you select others, always trying to form the poem again. In your forming, you arrive at new and more profound meanings than you had even dreamed of. »

  5. #Putin & #Trump are both, in fact, #fascists. And their use of the word, though meant to confuse, reminds us of one of fascism’s essential characteristics. A fascist is unconcerned w/the connection between #words & #meanings. He does not serve the #language; the language serves him. When a fascist calls a liberal a “fascist,” the term begins to work in a different way, as the servant of a particular person, rather than as a bearer of meaning.

  9. Artists reframe our world in ways that allow us to aestheticize what previously was - just - the world. #DouglasCoupland

  10. "Substantiation" basically means proof or validation. In Catholicism "transubstantiation" means bread and wine changing into the body and blood of Jesus. I think the word should also mean validating people who are changing their identities and preferences. #LGBTQ #words #meanings

  12. I’m not 100% comfortable with the proliferation of “gift” as a verb and I might as well just come out and say it.

  13. I must say that I miss writing about #media, #art #composition, as well as the #meanings of what we try to convey with techniques like #Glitch (I used to talk all the time about it during my master and most of my papers)
