  • I Think I Own That - John Locke’s Guide to Justifying Land Theft with Polite Language - cover

    I Think I Own That - John...

    John Locke: Enlightenment philosopher, father of liberalism, inventor of “natural rights,” and accidental spiritual patron of land developers, libertarians, and your uncle who won’t shut up about property taxes. 
    In this gloriously sarcastic takedown of one of Western philosophy’s most over-quoted minds, Sophia Blackwell (Kant You Not, No Self, No God, No Clue) guides you through Locke’s greatest hits—including: 
    The blank slate theory, which basically says you’re born dumb and the world makes you worse 
    His ideas on identity, which collapse the second you forget your phone password 
    His version of consent, which mostly consists of “You didn’t leave, so I assume you’re fine with it.” 
    And of course, property rights—where mixing your labor with the earth somehow makes it yours, and stealing land becomes morally correct as long as you bring a shovel 
    Locke’s political philosophy inspired democracies, revolutions, and every 400-comment Reddit thread titled “Taxation is theft.” 
    This is not a respectful biography. 
    This is a roast. A eulogy. A survival guide for understanding how Locke gave us: 
    Liberalism 
    Landlords 
    Legal headaches 
    And a political system that thinks fencing off a patch of dirt = moral superiority 
    Perfect for: 
    Recovering philosophy students 
    Political skeptics 
    Enlightenment haters 
    Property law survivors 
    And anyone who wants to laugh while questioning whether government is just a giant metaphor for a really passive-aggressive roommate agreement 
    You don’t need to read Two Treatises of Government. 
    You just need to know Locke said, “I think I own that,” and people believed him.

    What are the politics of nature? Who owns it, where is it, what role does it play in our lives? Does it need to be tamed? Are we ourselves natural? In A Darker Wilderness, a constellation of luminary writers reflect on the significance of nature in their lived experience and on the role of nature in the lives of Black folks in the United States. Each of these essays engages with a single archival object, whether directly or obliquely, exploring stories spanning hundreds of years and thousands of miles, traveling from roots to space and finding rich Blackness everywhere. 
     
     
     
    Erin Sharkey considers Benjamin Banneker's 1795 almanac, as she follows the passing of seasons in an urban garden in Buffalo. Naima Penniman reflects on a statue of Haitian revolutionary François Makandal, within her own pursuit of environmental justice. Ama Codjoe meditates on rain, hair, protest, and freedom via a photo of a woman during a civil rights demonstration in Alabama. And so on with wide-ranging contributions unearthing evidence of the ways Black people's relationship to the natural world has persevered through colonialism, slavery, violence, and structurally racist policies. 
     
     
     
    A scrapbook, a family chest, a quilt—a work of historical engagement and literary accomplishment—A Darker Wilderness is a collection brimming with abundance and insight.

You’ll also learn how to handle your hamster with care, fostering trust and ensuring a positive relationship with your pet. 
      
    Hamsters are highly social animals, but their interactions with humans differ from those of other pets.

Understanding your hamster’s behaviors and needs is key to maintaining a strong bond with them and providing an environment where they feel safe and secure.
