topics to explore in 2021

18 Dec 2020

I honestly don’t think I’ll be able to stick to any plan in 2021. I am always changing my plans. But here’s a few certainty for 2021 :

• I will do at least one semester in Animation culturelle at UQAM.
• I will try TELUQ’s system by taking at least one class from the Majeure en éducation aux adultes.
• I will run for mayor or municipal advisor in the upcoming municipal elections in Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.

Regarding those facts, here some stuff I absolutely want to study in my spear time or throughout my school project :

• Municipalism and history of Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve
• Critical analysis of school (bell hooks, Eli Meyerhoff)

And then in general, here’s a few things I’d like to try in 2021:

• Actually read more sci-fi novels than texts about the revolutionary potential of sci-fi novels
• Also read, write and submit more poetry (and essays?) to magazines
• Do at least 1 workshop/bookclub on a political topic
• Record podcasts for real
• Create a platform to cover the municipal elections/connect with people through the municipal elections

On a more personal side, I’d like to continue :

• To study tarot, namely through Lindsay Mack’s classes
• To deepen my astrological practices by learning more about aspects, synastry and medical astrology
• To persevere in my investigation at the intersection of divinations tools and activism
• To read more about indigenous spiritualities
• To read muslim feminists and Tunisian writers
• To practice glitch art and painting and drawing and dancing
• To get better at taking care of a variety of plants
• To deepen my care praxis and understanding of the ethics of care

EDIT 31/01/2021 : Well, I changed my mind about trying to go to TELUQ and I’m also somewhat giving up in advance in reading more novels than last year.

EDIT 03/03/2021 : Well, I finally just signed up to a Knowledge Management class offered by TELUQ. Also, I finished two novels (one sci-fi) and I am planning to read at least two others in the near future (also one sci-fi, plus a Tunisian writer) so I guess I am not giving up on my reading ambitions.
