Woohoo, here's my essay with my fav co-author on 30,000 fellowship wins across the Guggenheim, Stanford CASBS, NAEd, National Humanities Center, RSF visiting scholar, and Harvard Radcliffe. Spoiler: it's the people working at prestigious universities www.publicbooks.org/who-gets-gug...

I am interested in the role of exhaustion in the history of capitalism (and of critique of capitalism) if you have any recs immediately at hand, buddies.

I talked to the brilliant Kathi Weeks about her new book, Abolition Archives, Feminist Futures, about Angela Davis, Shulamith Firestone, and Donna Haraway, and about abolishing work, the prison, and the family

just pre-ordered @henrysnow.bsky.social 's forthcoming book from @versobooks.bsky.social www.versobooks.com/products/312...

it would be so cool to write a book where I don't figure out what the real argument was months after I've finished ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In addition to @aarthivadde.bsky.social's WE THE PLATFORM, I'm excited about this forthcoming book f/ @sarahbrouillette.bsky.social CONTENT MACHINES (dropping around the same time Fall 2026), which with Vadde's is going to open up lit studies to a lot of cool new questions about culture & platforms.

I hope someone is writing something really good about AI and social reproduction / reproductive labour🙏

"Habermas’s statement of 2023, made over the corpses of thousands of Palestinians [...] can be understood plainly enough—as an expression of solidarity with the perpetrators of a genocide above its victims" www.parapraxismagazine.com/articles/hab...

you haven't lived until you've spent the first two hours of the day recording audio files of Hellworld by Phil Neel

Yeaaaah, let me know when one of the "AI" companies is owned by a glorious workers' collective

so, so excited about this book

We the Platform is available for preorder with the discount code CUP20 if you order directly from the press! cup.columbia.edu/book/we-the-... A thread on the argument below:

Alex Colston reviews Anton Jäger's "Hyperpolitics," filling in gaps in the book's short argument and arguing for the importance of political formations and activities independent of official political society. proteanmag.com/2026/03/26/h...

What is going on here? Is this a bit? We had to go to the source.

Toronto people, don't miss Dr. Bull's lecture titled: “Is This Really More Efficient?!”: Thinking Through Hands, Minds, and Materials in Nineteenth-Century Literary Manufacturing !!!

Another day, another violation of academic freedom in Texas. This time a university is firing a philosophy professor owing to complaints about an off-campus talk he gave on the Israeli-Palestine conflict...

Shut the fuck up

it's a brilliant paper with fascinating rising action (sexuation!) and a banger of a conclusion that re-made my brain

I wanted to take a moment to let folks know that Ted Martin's extraordinary book _American Literature's War on Crime_ is out! The book surveys almost 100 novels to explore how the War on Crime was waged on the page & how fiction made the policies & ideologies of crime control legible. It's amazing!

obsessed with this article

Private equity has been fantasizing about the capture of education for decades. This is the deepest they’ve ever gotten their tendrils into it.

I can’t recommend this new Project 2052 story by @cowbellemoo.lets.abolish.family highly enough. Revolutionary hawks taking down police drones and military jets, sex forests, and much more. Reshare, check out new stories every day this week. www.commonnotions.org/project-2052...

I am collecting research on the changing role of literature in the production of elite taste. I have a bunch to work with--I always read @drdaveobrien.bsky.social--but would love to unearth stuff I'm likely to miss, esp. focused on literature & university English.

today and tomorrow, y'all

and this pain will not be equally shared across the university... social research and progressive scholarship are being targeted... and every decision leadership makes worsens the financial crisis as if by design. it doesn't have to be this way, these are choices by The New School top leadership

this novel combines all of my interests reading it will satisfy all of my intellectual needs

The Return of the '90s (edited by me & @seanobrien.bsky.social ) will be out in June & can now be pre-ordered from @plutopress.bsky.social! Featuring work from many wonderful contributors, with an afterword from Annie McClanahan (@anniemcc.bsky.social): www.plutobooks.com/product/the-...

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch www.theverge.com/podcast/8914...

One, they wanted the content. Two, they wanted to get rid of women and Black people. Three, they wanted to install loyalists.

y'all !!!! I love that the blurbs are basically like, "listen, she is never not telling you about some bleak shit" 😍❤️‍🔥 (thank you @aarthivadde.bsky.social and @markmcgurl.bsky.social)

sorry climate crisis you’re not even in top 5 catastrophes happening right now

If I can’t unionize Claude then it’s not conscious, next question

They should invent a way out that isn't through

useful episode focused on Palantir & Anthropic / Claude

I wonder if Claude would be “anxious” because the military is using it to bomb schoolgirls or because it’s poisoning the air around data centers or because it’s going to crash the economy or because it’s encouraged thousands of psychotic delusions or all of the above

save the dates and arrive early, Ottawa people -- M.E. O'Brien is coming to town later this month, and my superfan students & their crews are going to take up all the seats (h/t Alexis Shotwell and @genderhorizon.com)

People criticizing Carney for hypocrisy but in the narrow technical sense of globalism, he’s perfectly consistent: transgressions of international economic law are more concerning than other violations. Protecting free trade and capital rights are the prime directives for guardians of world order.
