"all about love" by bell hooks
With a five hour train journey ahead of me, I thought it would be great to read some books from my tbr list. "all about love" was published in 2001, but I will be reading it for the first time.
I am curious to hear what others who have read it think of it.

“When we commit to love in our daily life, habits are shattered. We are necessarily working to end domination.”
Happy birthday, bell hooks.

I can still here his voice 'Good morning dear Sangha. Today is January 30th 2024, and we are sitting on a sofa'. I was lucky to spend three weeks on a retreat in France he led in 2004 called 'the feet of the Buddha'.. 1/7

"Drag dramatizes and makes explicit mundane, everyday gender rituals and, through this repetition of gendered actions, suggests that essentialist presumptions about correct or authentic genders can be reworked (#JudithButler , 1990, p.338)."
‘To choose to appear as “female” when one is male is always constructed… as a loss, as a choice worthy only of ridicule’ (#bellHooks, 1992, p.145).
