2026-02-08.2_A Lorde - survival, metabolism, future

“One of the most basic Black survival skills is the ability to change, to metabolize experience, good or ill, into something that is useful, lasting effective”

“We [often] forget that the necessary ingredient needed to make the past work for the future is our energy in the present, metabolizing one into the other. Continuity does not happen automatically, nor is it a passive process.”

• Audre Lorde, Learning from the 60s
