Contrawhit

Also known as Whitney M. I’m a philosopher with an interest in ancient Stoicism (ontology, free will, and determinism; very critical of the modern $toic movement). I also work on philosophy of race, class, and gender and more recently, aesthetics. I’m a classicist/philologist (ancient and modern Greek and Latin). I’m a Marxist and activist who has a life-long love of poetry—reading and writing.

Pure white cat rests on the bottom of a clear plastic waste paper basket, making it look like a half-filled glass of milk.

“I Could Take”
(Hayden Carruth)

I could take
two leaves
and give you one.
Would that not be
a kind of perfection?But I prefer
one leaf
torn to give you half
showing(after these years, simply)
love’s complexity in an act,
the tearing and
the unique edges —
one leaf (one word) from the two
imperfections that match. #love #poem #poetry #lovepoetry #haydencarruth #otherhalf #leaves

Police budgets have been growing for my entire lifetime. If well-funded cops make for a safer world, why the fuck is this country so dangerous? People really need to listen to themselves when they say incorrect shit like "cops keep us safe".

"my lover asks me"
(Nizar Gabbani, translated by B. Frangieh And C. Brown)

My lover asks me:
“What is the difference between me and the sky?”
The difference, my love,
Is that when you laugh,
I forget about the sky. #poem #poetry #love #lovepoem #lovepoetry #sky

@briankrebs People keep comparing Musk to a dictator for eradicating left-leaning staff and destroying huge value. Turns out he’s Poll Pot.

Finding accounts you followed on Twitter, on Mastodon, feels like a grown up version of Pokemon Go.

This quote by Carl Sagan hangs in my office.

“In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.” - Carl Sagan

“Why Bother”

Because right now there is someone
Out there with
a wound in the exact shape
of your words. #poetry #whybother #matter #poems #care
