Enter the Tings: A Map of the Work (Open Post)
They are not categories.
Ways to move through a world, a body, a cosmology of thought.
They are not categories.They are domains of knowing.Ways to move through a world, a body, a cosmology of thought.
The work here moves through the body.
Through memory.
Through the things we sense, the things we inherit, and the things we are still learning how to become.
Sensory Domains -Enter the Tings: A Map of the Work | Black Embodiment & Cosmology
Knowledge through the body:
I hear tings — sound, vibration, listening beyond the colonial loop.
I see tings — observation, vision, noticing what others overlook.
I speak tings — words, stories, declarations that shape presence.
I eat tings — nourishment, plant medicine, rituals of the body.
I touch tings — hands as home, connection, and release.
I move tings — somatics, rhythm, the body in motion through time.
I smell tings — scent as memory, grounding, and subtle invocation.
These seven are how we experience reality through the senses.
The Knowing Domain
I know tings
Reflection, analysis, theory, memory — where the body meets thought, and thought meets the world.
Identity Portals
Afro ting — heritage, hair, and embodied Black futurity.
Trans learn tings — knowledge, experience, and practices of trans embodiment.
Portals that shape how the world and knowledge pass through the body.
Cosmology
Altar’d U / Astro Me — ritual, sky, and spirit.
On da left hand side of mushrooms and roses — liminal territory, plant medicine, and experimental knowledge.
Orienting the body and mind in space, time, and ancestral flow.
Enrichment + Care
Reading Rainbow tings — books, Afrofuturism, and narratives that expand imagination.
Skincare ting — ritual care, touch, and intimacy with the self.
These Tings nourish the body and mind while connecting sensory experience with reflection.
Why This Matters
This site is not a blog.
It is a field guide, a cosmology, a living archive.
Moving through the Tings is not browsing topics.
It is entering a knowledge system.
Learning the tempo of bodies, histories, and ancestral flows.
Each post, offering, or observation is a piece of the map.
Not standalone.
A constellation guiding you through Black regulation, embodied wisdom, and generational inheritance.
How to Move Through
Take your time.
Explore.
Notice which Tings pull at your body, mind, memory.
Allow the space to shift you, not just teach you.
The Tings are here.
The work is alive.
The architecture is unfolding — and you are invited.
