Amy HoffmannHOST
what he refers to as courageous love.
Tommy BordenHOST
Yeah, and that's basically what Bell Hooks, that was her definition of love.
Tommy BordenHOST
Wasn't it Bell Hooks who said that love is, you know, true love is... feeling that you want to help that other person become the best
Amy HoffmannHOST
version of them
Tommy BordenHOST
self-actualized self-actualized version of themselves that you are want to be a part of that
Tommy BordenHOST
yeah
Amy HoffmannHOST
um So I put that I think that this is the definition of love.
Amy HoffmannHOST
So I must have been kind of channeling bell hooks there.
Myesha T. HillHOST
And we are on our episode two called The Art of Staying.
Myesha T. HillHOST
And this week, the question that we're sitting with is when it gets hard, what makes us stay instead of leaving, right? Because this is something that, you know, when you've had a collective community for years, and you witness people leave, and then you witness people ghost, it's been like a tricky situation, right? And it reminds me of this quote we just found by Bell Hooks, that relationships are treated like Dixie cups.
Myesha T. HillHOST
They are the same.
Myesha T. HillHOST
They are disposable.
Myesha T. HillHOST
We're not saying stay in relational abusive situations.
Myesha T. HillHOST
We're not saying stay in anything that violates your capacity for love or violates your human experience.
Myesha T. HillHOST
But like we are saying, like here in the West, we treat each other to bell hooks point like a Dixie cup.
Myesha T. HillHOST
And we are really good at throwing each other away uncomfortable.
Brian CartwrightHOST
And then there's usually stuff which will, like...
Brian CartwrightHOST
Another good example is, like, how much stuff is, like... just very classic, like, early 70s, second wave, you know, feminism, some, like, pre-Bell Hooks-ass bullshit, which just, like, reads as, like, very, like, martial and angry, because martial and angry is what plays well on the internet.
Brian CartwrightHOST
And, like, it's...
Brian CartwrightHOST
It's... it's amazing how often you'll talk to a person that are 30 and you'll be like, Hey, let's talk about the, um, the housing crisis for like unhoused people.
Erica Cruz GuevaraHOST
Is it? Yeah.
Victoria DuranGUEST
It illuminates how patriarchy functions and how we're all participants, as Bell Hooks says.
Victoria DuranGUEST
I look to this as a reminder of, okay, do we have our heroes? Do we have our...
Victoria DuranGUEST
Like, situating the stories around a individual person, because this, a sustaining movement is focused on the movement.
Richard J. PowellGUEST
I have viridian talking or writing Jake and telling Jake that of all places, "Tiffany is, has, has co-opted me, [chuckles] viridian.
Richard J. PowellGUEST
And how dare it co-opt me when you know better than anybody else how central I am to not just your work, but to a kind of modernism." And I, and I let viridian park on The Lovers because it is such a, a-- Well, as Bell Hooks says, it's, it's, it's, it's an extraordinary painting that stands alone, um, or at least amongst his works as really one of his finest, 'cause it not just deals with love, it deals with the precarity of love.
Richard J. PowellGUEST
And also when I see that viridian couch, I think of, of oceans, I think of, of choppy waters, I think of, of, of, of m-modern men and women listening to, to Billie Holiday in that time period.
Richard J. PowellGUEST
So, so it was just, it was a chance to really have fun and to, to really let the color assert itself in my writing.
Theresa PlaisanceHOST
Nice
Syd ColsonHOST
... [laughs] she mentioned this book, All About Love by Bell Hooks, and she was just saying several things throughout the concert about love, not just romantic love, but platonic, like, what love should look like in your life.
Syd ColsonHOST
And when you're in a relationship, the person is supposed to be helping you be the best version of yourself.
Syd ColsonHOST
If you find that that's not happening, remove yourself.
Vincent MousseauGUEST
I started a book club where we're reading a whole bunch of black feminist and indigenous feminist literature and exploring these themes about regulating our emotions and showing up in movement spaces.
Vincent MousseauGUEST
We're reading All About Love by Bell Hooks to really understand our relationship to our emotional selves.
Vincent MousseauGUEST
There's a lot of strength in this kind of thing.
Vincent MousseauGUEST
And I just think that we got to do it.
Liz PlankHOST
You're still being confined from being connected.
Liz PlankHOST
There's still, as Bell Hooks has said in The Will to Change and many other texts, that they are stripped of their humanity.
Liz PlankHOST
And that's why, again, they're boring on reality shows.
Liz PlankHOST
Because there's like there's something there's like a humanity that's been stripped away.
Liz PlankHOST
The sort of people pleasing programming that so many women, you know, I think have to unlearn.
Liz PlankHOST
I'm still unlearning it.
Liz PlankHOST
Bell Hooks has a great quote.
Liz PlankHOST
She says, patriarchy trains men to expect care and trains women to feel guilty for withholding it.
Kate HergottHOST
Yeah.
Kate HergottHOST
It was also reminding me that Bell Hooks, I think it's in her book, All About Love.
Kate HergottHOST
She talks about how some female relationships are, even if they aren't sexual, it's almost that they are romantic in how deeply women can love each other and understand each other.
Kate HergottHOST
And that's, I think she talks about a couple of the things.
Beth YirgaGUEST
For my lived experience as a first generation college student, right, with Black immigrant parents, community is what allowed us to navigate the darkness and unknown of being, of realizing what citizenship in our identities look like in America, right? And through that, I sought literature and writing that helped me identify that experience.
Beth YirgaGUEST
And through like Bell Hooks and Charlene Carruthers and similar texts, I realized that this is a longstanding tradition of community through darkness, through new eras, through new times or in the creation and the birth of new times.
Beth YirgaGUEST
And so just kind of touching upon those traditions of Black queer feminist kind of traditions or Indigenous traditions of how building community together helped us bring our lights together.
Beth YirgaGUEST
to move forward in dark times is how I equate it in this AI era of the unknown, right? In education, going to a path of unknown with technology that we're building.
