“Being itself is relational. […] Our human agency and intentionality transforms the objects of culture into subjects, through the meaning we give to them and the uses we put them to.

[…]

care : a constant attentiveness to the meaning and affect of our entanglement.

[…]

politics : the hard, meaty detail of debate, decision-making, power relationships and status.”

-James Bridle, Ways of Being


“We had fed the heart on fantasies,
The heart’s grown brutal from the fare,
More substance in our enmities
Than in our love; oh, honey-bees
Come build in the empty house of the stare.”

VI—The Stare’s Nest By My Window, W. B. Yeats.
