@tarakiyee Ah! Then you might be interested in this article engaging C. Riley Snorton and Saidiya Hartman. It has a nice breakdown of how they each talk about fungibility in the context the other article I shared uses it, and I think what you wrote resonates.

Black feminism is one of my special interests sooo, yeah lol

@tarakiyee This is great analysis. Thank you. Also, I had no idea tech bros were doing that with Lorde and that is so very irritating...

Reading your essay reminded me of this article: "The Fungibility of Intersectionality: An Afropessimist Reading" by Silma Burge. It takes up a different term, but it highlights, similar to you, how a Black feminist theorist's term is flattened, stripped of context, and retooled.
