It matters what matters we use to think other matters with; it matters what stories we tell to tell other stories with; it matters what knots knot knots, what thoughts think thoughts, what descriptions describe descriptions, what ties tie ties. It matters what stories make worlds, what worlds make stories.
Donna Haraway, Staying with the Trouble.
A companion for Audre Lorde’s “the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house” and Stafford Beer’s “the purpose of a system is what it does”.
