WOUND/WISE Your wounds are not a diagnosis. They are evidence. They are maps. They are weapons. WOUND/WISE dismantles the therapeutic-industrial fantasy that your shame, trauma, and exhaustion are private malfunctions to be treated in isolation. Drawing on abolitionist organizing, disability justice, queer and trans refusal, Indigenous resurgence, and Black feminist theory, it shows how so‑called "symptoms" are forms of intelligence about carceral psychiatry, surveillance capitalism, colonial governance, and religious authority that demands your repentance rather than your rage. Moving through creative destruction, contamination, refusal, tipping points, WOUND/WISE offers concrete experiments for turning broken affect, diagnostic labels, and civic exile into political method. Shame becomes cartography. Trauma becomes pattern recognition. Hypervigilance becomes system diagnostics. This is not a book about healing back into productivity. It is a manual for collaborating with bacterial, fungal, technological, and collective intelligences to build liberated zones inside hostile territory and practice lives that cannot be made legible to the systems that require your compliance. For the mad, the criminal, the failed, the refused: Your exclusion wasn't accident. It was design. Now reverse-engineer it.
