enjoyed!!! thanks for sharing with us how you feel calmer lately; your philosophies for managing your stressors and anxieties!!!

also - i'm also studying this exact same topic rn of the social power of language rn in my rhetorics class; "language carries culture, and culture carries [...] the entire body of values by which we come to perceive ourselves and our place in the world"

that particular reading focused on "rhetorical imperalism" of african language; i.e. colonization of the mind and how the most important area of domination is the mental universe. "control their culture is to control their tools of self-definition."
