"Insurgent #Aesthetics: Security and the Queer Life of the Forever War" (Duke University Press, 2019) — By Ronak K Kapadia

https://www.dukeupress.edu/insurgent-aesthetics

🦋 On queer #worldmaking in an era of never-ending wars & struggle for #democracy

☮️ Queer theory can broaden politics and #critical #systems thinking

📌 And yet because queer-phobia is, unfortunately, not uncommon, including and particularly among the left, queer history & theory are not considered adequately in the toolbox of liberatory politics

I strongly recommend this video that discusses the context of contemporary art, using the Canadian phenomenon "Angine de Poitrine" as an example.

Sadly, I think this video doesn't have in-english subtitles, please let me know if you can generate it.

In this youtube video, a US woman talks about how her child learned critical thinking in UK schools, and she realized that she was raised as a sheep.

Ok vid, but the real jewel is in the comments. Go to the site and read how everyone unloads on whether or not they learned critical thinking in their school system. Really informative.
