"We say “land,” but mostly we mean “territory.” Land is the physical world—the wild, unbordered field of nonhuman intelligences—and territory the virtual space we make and remake upon it, passively through habit and actively through enclosure.

The destruction inherent in territories is clear. “Why is all geography irony?” the poet Dionne Brand asks. The answer: It is harm, not wholeness, that all borders encircle. Territories are made through dispossession, not destroyed by it. The carving up of land and expropriation of its inhabitants creates the categories of identity that national borders enshrine. Such territories are formed on land, but also in the mind. They both reflect and construct the identities of those developing and maintaining them; they are, in a sense, identities projected onto land. And precisely because they are fictive constructs masquerading as natural and inevitable realities, territories require constant reiteration.

(...)

But it would be a mistake to assume that this territorializing process is unique to the colonial world. Even if we could return to a pre-colonial relationship with the land, that relationship was itself never pure. The pre-colonial world was a territory; the post-colonial world will be, too. Worldmaking is a territorializing process.

Thus, if Palestinian return is to imbue a fractured people with a worthy national purpose, it cannot be merely a backward-facing act of restoration, but must instead face forward, toward a just world—its shape suggested by the imperative to obliterate Zionism’s legal and social mechanisms of colonial oppression, its logics of containment, and its engineered demographic imbalances. It will mean rooting our inevitable process of territorializing not in essence (I am from here, this is holy land, this land is mine), but in relation (this is where we eat, this is where we pray, on these roads we traverse the desert).

What might it mean to dream of return not as the crossing of space or, impossibly, the turning back of time, but as a metric of relation—the distance between things as they are and as they could be, between a present of borders and checkpoints and a future where we might be together? The colonial system of walls, roads, passports, and decrees does not constitute the ownership of land itself—a brutal fiction—but is instead a system of control overlaid atop it. Land cannot be passed from one colonially defined population to another by revolutionary fiat. Land cannot be returned by transfer. But the exile can return to the land, as the body returns to it in death, ready to deterritorialize themselves and the colony, to destroy the borders inscribing mind and body. Only then might a new territory form, built from relations of care and not hierarchies of control. May we return, then, to the origin of no origins not to solve the problem of exile but to destroy it for good."

-Dylan Saba, "Point of No Return" (2022)

i do love the chuck won theory i do but the thing is. im not the biggest fan of how they did it on the show. like i get why it is like that it's just not my preference is all.

going back to my point about keeping god off the screen, I think I would've preferred if they were "fighting" god like that. in the sense that they're aware, to some extent, that this is all out of their control. it's like in good omens but the evil version of it. the plan is ineffable, so what can we even do about it? do we even have free will? are we responsible for the evil in our lives or is someone else? did you kill your son? did your son kill your mother?? or did this Nebulous All Knowing Entity make him do it? does it make a difference, when this grief is choking your throat?? when the guilt is in your veins? when the pain you've caused, you're feeling, is all so tangible?? you can't fight god and you can't beat god and you can't be sure that you are ever on your own. there is no hope, and there is no reward, and you aren't quite sure about the witness. can you choose kindness anyway? like this? when the world is ending and your feet are close to the edge of it?? does it matter?? DOES IT MATTER?? DOES IT MATTER??????

#this is too weird and high concept for me to even fully articulate. like can you do it like this? probably not. very philosophical question #territory #it's a thought experiment #more than anything else and you can't make movies out of those jsgdjdkdld #doe is talking again #this is kind of like a nonsense post but i think like. you will always lose against A God™ is. it's very. it's something. it's sooo #helpless right. but at the same time i think the point is like. you can still choose. kindness #it might not matter but that's the thing. who dictates what does and doesn't matter #what gives life meaning in this unknowable universe. what is your life made up of. ehat moments define you. #what is the God you worship and the god yhat you fight. i give one respect and i don't do it for the other. because i worship this world and #the people in it and the kindness they are capable of and the experience of touching the skin of my people. that is the God that matters. #to me. but say there is something elae put thwre and it is out to get you. ot hates you or maybe it loves you. you'll never know. but it is #there. and it is changing the world you are in. these are not things you can control. what you can control is this: you kiss your son's brow #before you kill him. you hold your lover's hand before he is ripped from you. you tell your brother you love him #before you're gone. #does it matter? does it matter? does it matter??? maybe not to the thing that hates you but it does. TO ME. TO ME. YO ME

Where does ShadowClan's territory actually end? I know there's technically no border in one direction and cats are encouraged to not go too far into the marsh that way, but where does that actually end? A road, more Aulmir, a forest...? (I already sent this in but don't know if it went through because my internet cut out while I was sending it, sorry if there's a duplicate of this in your inbox oof)

In a way, it doesn't! ShadowClan could go as far as they wanted into what gradually turns into dry flatlands before the haze of the world clouds up what else is out there, but there's rarely any prey in that direction and there's some superstitions about being too distant from home. For some cats, there's a specific point they hit when walking north that abruptly compels them to turn around and go back south. They don't know what it is, but they're the Clan least likely to obey instincts that come from unexplained sources. It could be a whisper from StarClan, after all!
