RIP Alison Knowles - beautiful obituary by Irene Revell - discretely reminded me why and whose history we drew from when we were reading Gertrude Stein's 'The Making of Americans' as a group in 2019-2020. @irenerevell.bsky.social 🙏

A marathon day spent in NFT1 yesterday for the Laura Mulvey Symposium at BFI Southbank, really great set of panels, and Laura being impressive as ever - in opening conversation with Oliver Fuke and later with closing remarks, then again introducing her film with Peter Wollen, The Bad Sister.

Working on this (editorially) with Holly was a highlight of my year. Her concepts of ecstatic nearby and psycho-rurality still stir me in my day-to-day 🚀🚀🚀 doi.org/10.1386/jaws...

Over on other channels I've announced my first peer review journal article. Seeing the finished article as a downloadable pdf it dawned on me how it actually feels to not only write in a personal capacity academically but also to put it out there.

wrote an article for @thebookseller.com outlining to the industry why small presses are the lifeforce & future of book production. Pls share esp w people who may not know what small press publishers do! www.thebookseller.com/comment/dont...

This contribution to the volume of human misery is yet another policy from Labour based on a false premise, in this case that refugees are overly attracted to Britain. It will increase bureaucratic limbo, thus making worse the problem of "cohesion" it purports to solve. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Last night I discovered a piece of my visual practice from 2010 uncredited as a homepage log in for Tumblr where I had first posted the image in the same year. The url also reflected it was used without credit.

this is a basically undeniable take when reading robots in terms of their origin in Karel Čapek's play R.U.R.

By resisting surveillance and extraction and pursuing goals such as affordability, dignity, and justice, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani can show how technology can truly serve the people, writes Rebecca Williams. The first step, she says, is to protect immigrants.

Rania has so many skills to offer - but she's banned from using them while awaiting her asylum decision. Today, the House of Lords debated a vital change to force Parliament to hear evidence about the impact of this absurd work ban. The Government must listen to people like Rania and #LiftTheBan

Didn't know annual monitoring reports were still a thing when you're in the 'writing up' on a PhD. Ouch! I want to spend my time on my thesis not this...

Brace yourself if you have never come across the details of Pier Paolo Pasolini's brutal murder before... around midnight on 2 November 1975. 50 years ago today on the outskirts of Rome. Olivia Laing has centred her new novel, The Silver Book, around the making of Pasolini's final film, Salò (1975).

Wives, mothers, fighters, activists: the millennial women keeping Ukraine going

I shared Cane's impulse to go offline and read Diane Di Prima at points around the US election cycle. In this wholly different time since Di Prima was writing, Cane's grapplings with 'Di's' poetic revolutionary mode of address are excellent. Useful responses to think about, in the form of new poems.

I'd characterise Threads as designed for the 1%. If you're a celebrity you get the right to broadcast, everyone else is just scrabbling around. This place (and old Twitter) follows more of an 80/20 rule - which is far better for us posting middle classes (@youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com, 2024).

Given that the British Library has been the infrastructural home holding up Marxist writing since quite literally it’s inception, I think it’s basically incumbent on all attendees to Historical Materialism to go to this and show solidarity

So this went well... however in the past month I've come to terms that I probably won't be posting work and career updates here as my bsky feed is so low on arts based posts or hearing from my peers. Find me on IG / LinkedIn if you're in the same field and want these sorts of updates!

Researchers are told, explicitly or implicitly: harm animals, or your career suffers. That is not impartial. That is not progress. And it is certainly not science.

Missed this film at The Cube last month, but was able to see it on dafilms.com. The photography by the children, and the acts of taking the photographs becomes a crucial theme between sight, partial sight and blindness - and is a collaborative & poetic heart of the film. dafilms.com/film/7197-th...

Watched to the end to learn this was a Benjamin Zephaniah poem, Handsworth's own. If only he were still with us. I've been doing a PhD for long enough to remember an online keynote talk which he gave to Techne AHRC research students. Zephaniah was an Honorary Professor at Brunel University. RIP.

Completely underestimated the amount of work for turning an informal 20-min slide talk that then became a 6000-word peer reviewed article, back into a 20-min slide talk but better.

City Hall: Experts at King’s College London estimated that, from when the Mayor came into office in 2016, without additional action it would take 193 years for London to meet legal limits. It has been achieved in nine years.

Amazing 💚 During a 5 yr live-work artist residency on a major London arterial road (7 lanes, constant traffic)... I used Kings College air quality mappers to learn that the address was double the legal limit of NO2 (very bad indeed). Needless to say I completed many public consultations FOR ULEZ!

Second time I've opened up Facebook and seen that far right reels are being suggested to my page! After march on 13 September I reported a handful of the hateful comments on the reels I saw, which FB moderation rejected. This concurs with The Guardian's findings about Meta's new moderation policy.
