"لنتقبل فقط أن ما ينمو عند موضع الإصابة قد لا يطابق القديم، قد يبدو شائهًا. لكن -تمعن قليلًا سترى جمال المشوه، فالمسخ وحده يحمل تاريخ الحلم والأمل وواقع الهزيمة والألم معًا. المسخ وحده لا ينسى جراحه القديمة ولا يخشى جراحًا جديدة." ~ علاء عبد الفتاح، خمس استعارات عن التعافي

I was beginning to think Foucault’s writings on the “disciplinary society” were becoming irrelevant. But then my niece started the 5th grade. Her teachers add and subtract behavioral points in an app shared with her mom. Note that she lost a point for using the restroom today.
