The Body Awake

Last week was the 22nd anniversary of my awareness of the politics of form, and that anniversary hasn’t been without ripples. It was the anniversary of my initiation into chronic pain, autoimmune disarray, and what would become a 15-year obstacle course diagnosis of a rare genetic condition. It was the wakeup call to feel the physical toll of cPTSD that began when I was a toddler. On 29 March 2001...

The Risk of Apathy

The first time I heard the word ‘apathy’ repeatedly in the press was when I was a kid, and it was to describe post-Vietnam War unemployment. Specifically, it described those who were unemployed. It was intended to depict them as lazy, as having brought on their joblessness themselves, completely divested of the circumstances that led to it.  A decade later, ‘apathy’ sold headlines describing Gen...
