I've seen it in loads of work stuff today, it's really irritating. I'm also seeing "sale" repositioned as "edit" for the past few months too
I don't understand that

Look on the bright side. Herding them into particular spots makes their very existence that much easier to ignore.
Or easier to get them all at once...

So many particulars. So many questions.
what if you win the lottery and want to live in a mad posh place like that but don't want to get yoga'd? I'm imagining hiding behind my 4000 pound sofa (because if I win the lottery I am having a disgustingly expensive sofa) as the yoga man knocks shouting through the letterbox at chakras and that

"Edit" you mean? "Shop our latest edit" is the stuff that's on discount/sale. Presumably they're editing the range they carry and selling off what they're editing out.I don't understand that

No-one has explained it to me, that's the only sense I can make of "shop our latest edit" or words to that effectI'm actually more confused after the explanation than before.
Might have it entirely wrong.

So, that intersectionality as radicalism thing...

How much longer before we see the word being used by the Tory Party or Barclays? I give it 5 years or less.

I have heard of someone working as a temp in an office, who was asked to "curate" (i.e., arrange) a meeting
not sure what's "made up" about "to curate" as a verb, though.
The rise of the superstar curator in the late 80s and 90s in the art world paralleled the rise of the superstar DJ. Until, well, it was worked out that with the right connections and a modicum of organisational and social skills, anyone could do it. Just like with the right software anyone can be a DJ.
everyone's a curator now as a result.

I know Dan Hodges is a massive fucking weapon but even for him, this:
is very bad indeed. Cos, y'know, black people aren't men or women, young or old, rich or poor, not really, are they Dan, they're just not like us

when i was little, I got a visit to a science museum that had an exhibit for kids that included a ring of mirrors. you had to climb under the edge, and stand inside the hexagon (i think, but some kind of multi-sided shape) that was about 2m accross where every wall was a mirror. then see all the images of yourself, reflections inside reflections.
I think that's an intersectional lens, at least the way this lot use intersectionality. because all they see is themselves reflected over and over again, rather than the world outside of the walls.

"The blacks" has a bad weight to it, historically. Hodges should know this, being a man of letters and all. If he'd said "Black people. White people" or "Black. White." that would have been ok.
With that clarification, it seems we agree that textually, there's no difference in MFW's treatment of each of the groupings mentioned - just adding the article 'the' to each of them and putting them in a list.
That was what i was curious about. I understand what you're saying about the historical resonance of "The blacks" being different from his identical mentioning of other groupings.

Wheras your choice to use the term godless heathen only proves your cultural imperialism. Only someone who holds a false belief in their own innate superiority could assume that someone is without a structured system of belief in the catagorisation of optical elements, simply because they reject the definitions you use. you need to check your privilege before commenting again.

in the last six-twelve months it's become a thing in my work too. it's extremely wanky but i think you have the meaning slightly wrong - i take it to mean edit as in edition or like an editor would get rid of all the shit just leaving the gold

Ah, I don't tend to click links to anything that's not a sale - it make sense that edit is highlights in all senses not just reduced price highlights.

Terrible infantile Bruce Sterling quote posted on urban75 poster and little bit autonomist Laurie Penny's instagram. On top of everything else, 'weirdness' isn't even a registered spoke on the wheel of oppression so why bother? The 'fail' is only compounded further by the smug Harvard victory pic just below it.

The last line of that quote is missing.
Try working at Tesco's and being that weird and see if you get away with it. I'm not even saying I disagree with the sentiment: it's just that it's easy to be what you want when you've got cash and contacts. Most people can't even dye their hair a funny colour without risking the sack.
