In this rejoinder, I elaborate on the uncomfortable and foundational call of “Making a Home of the Society for Music Theory, Inc.”: the necessity of abolition as at once the destruction of our colonial/capitalist worlding and the building of a life-affirming world otherwise. Bringing to the fore a couple of backgrounds to my writing—early career transience and building community with unhoused residents of Norman, Oklahoma—I clarify that my call is not for inclusion (and enclosure) within this colonial/capitalist worlding, but our collective liberation from it. Ultimately, I hope this response might inspire readers to build life-affirming, abolitionist worlds wherever they find themselves.

在这次反驳中，我详细阐述了“为音乐理论协会建立家园”这一令人不安的基本呼吁：废除废除的必要性，同时摧毁我们的殖民/资本主义世界，并建立一种生活——否则肯定世界。在我的写作中突出几个背景——早期的职业生涯短暂和与俄克拉荷马州诺曼的无家可归的居民建立社区——我澄清我的呼吁不是在这个殖民/资本主义世界中包容（和封闭），而是我们的集体解放从中。最后，我希望这种回应能激励读者在他们发现自己的任何地方建立一个肯定生命的废奴主义世界。
