Thank you to those who are helping me think through my book ideas. Sincerely. I follow several sources on Twitter whose theories I think with and against, many related to critical theories, legal theories, feminist theories, transgender theories, PIC abolitionist theories, mutual aid theories, boundaries/statelessness/immigration/human migration, displacement and containment versus designing communities as welcome wagons to settler colonial legitimacy of the displaced.
I'm thinking with some scholars and community members dedicated to reading and discussing articles about eco justice, racial capitalism, afro futurism, urban design, keeping public lands available to the public and accountably managed with relations to all stakeholders respected, ie recognition of tribal authority and the self-described needs of those in the immediate community.
