response-able is also a classic one which i believe was used somewhere in Haraway's Making Kin.

organ-ize is a favorite of mine, as well as its derivates. dis-organ-ized, dis-organ-ization. the spanish term for mental disorders is "trastorno" but i very much prefer the english which implies a form of errant organization. in its usage i find myself revitalizing a form of the greek logos, but from a biological perspective. organ is not perfect while logos is. organ can be sick, can be faulty. organ is not The form to be ordered, but a way components have found to arrange themselves into in such a way that they can function. organ is emergent (existence first) and logos is essential (essence first). the extention of organ-ization is so rich, like one of Haraway's string figures in which multiple interwoven images can be seen. i associate the process of making organs (order) with deleuzian territorialization but also the development of multicellularity in life and endosymbiosis theory. also, the movement from a 'settlement' to a 'city' is not found within a linear graph of total demographical numbers, but in a process of speciation, specialization, the development of inter-cellular communication (methods of record keeping, be they oral or written) and multicellularity. a city is a city when different jobs begin to emerge, different sectors of the settlement divide and specialize, a division of the functions. a settlement becomes a city when it develops organs, it becomes organ-ized.

thanks for posting. i feel very inspired to use my notes app as well, specially seeing how a couple of your pictograms ended up in longer texts of yourself.

absolutely, if you do anything creative whatsoever you have to use the notes app, you can do anything else to get ideas but you have to use the notes app because most peoples phones are right next to them and everytime you notice there's an idea in ur head tapping on ur mental shoulder you can just immediately write it down and have everything in ur head onto the phone and you keep doing this for several months and then you have a bunch of notes that feel like how ur brain feels on a day to day basis

I also love how deleuze-flavored organ metaphors are and how they're related to the metaphor of the city as a human body. (I don't understand deleuze though) The body is government is cognition. You should put it in ur notes app btw. I love how hyper-associative ur thought process is, my thought processes tend towards this as well.

i will be honest i also don't understand deleuze sbdcsndjcksd. his and guattari's mental figures of deterritorialization, rhizomatic thinking, schizoanalysis and the BWO have been very inspiring to me but i haven't yet touched the texts themselves. i will get to them eventually. lots of my thoughts on organs are artistically inspired by them but i couldn't say it's a reading on them. aesthetic inspiration rather than hermeneutical work.

putting it all in the notes app did help a lot! i came to the conclusion that archetypal gender ideals are a type of cognitive endosymbionts with the human species, akin to the hundreds of species that make up the gut microbiota. i will try to make of this a frequent if not daily habit

Fun post. I liked the part when you explained your outfits. I also need to use the word kaleidoscopic more often in my writing. It has such good potential.
