Call for abstracts reminder! ☺️Due date 1st September! 😻

And if I may be so bold as to recommend some non-fiction though that’s not what you asked for, I highly recommend Theory of Water. If you don’t read it, I think this podcast discussing the book is well worth a listen tinhouse.com/podcast/lean...

Got a question about “feminist international relations “ you can’t find an answer to …?

Any good thoughts out there …? Anywhere…? 😫

Totally.

…. and … is Keir starmer’s comment in response to the election results that “we need to deliver our agenda faster” directly translated as “we’re very happy to have farage as the next prime minister” — yes …? 🧐🧐🥴

Intriguing how frequently the word “ideology” is now used in“public/media chit/chat” …. (especially US/UK). And so badly/wrongly🤬… it’s kind of hilarious (😩) when a politician or councillor says “let’s get ideology out of politics!” Erm …..🫤

Hey, it's my birthday!💥 I'd love it if you'd share a link to a particularly memorable conversation on the show &/or who you would most like to see in the future. For me, the conversation with Nikky Finney is forever etched in my heart. & I dream of Anne Carson tinhouse.com/podcast/nikk...

As David Graeber said (paraphrased) & Birmingham proves: if nurses, mechanics, garbage collectors vanish, the effects will be catastrophic; without teachers, dock-workers, science-fiction writers we'd be lessened; without private equity CEOs, lobbyists, telemarketers & bailiffs things would improve.

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social. The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

I think most of who have worked in writing or entertainment know that piracy is a fact of life, and has been for a long time now. But there’s a difference between a broke student downloading a PDF of your book, and a multibillion dollar company stealing your work for its own bullshit purposes.

It is always worth knowing what the powerful mean when they use terms like "the economy."

The abject failure of both main parties, Tory & Labour, to tackle the crisis in social care is eloquently outlined here: www.health.org.uk/reports-and-...

Since 1997 there have been no less than 25 commissions, select committee inquiries & white papers on social care. Labour - who admit social care is in crisis, & that the NHS cannot be fixed without it - just responded by... ... announcing the 26th one 😳

I have updated the Academic Workload Tracker for 2025. I strongly encourage all academics to track how long you actually work, and at what tasks. It's a crucial way to counter the deliberate wage-theft of obfuscatory university workload models. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Excellent #PlanetaryHealth article - highly recommend!

The “other place” has musky appearing everything second tw**t and the whole platform trying to convince us that the aliens are here!!! (Thought mostly in the US of course 🤣) …

My response below to Qs for this article on “Private Schools Group Apologizes After Claims of Antisemitism at Event” in which my talk was one that made four Jewish students feel threatened bc I used the word genocide. Let’s unpack since they gave ADL the last word. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/15/n...

New article! I'll do a thread / blog soon, but it's out, and it's Open Access! 'Colonial fantasies of invulnerability to climate change' doi.org/10.1080/1461...

Lorde’s The Cancer Journals (1980) is one of the first and most powerful statements reclaiming power over one’s health and survival, against a US medical industry oriented toward profit rather than human need. And it highlights how gendered and racist norms enforce that system. Wordcount: 74,734

Just published! 😊

The @annehelen.bsky.social interview w/Myisha Cherry: We need to "stop asking victims to do all the reparative labor." In institutions, "forgiveness will always been seen as magical—while safety, accountability, and repair become more and more unattainable." annehelen.substack.com/p/there-is-n...
