so happy to have this conversation with ever brilliant chrystel oloukoï for @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social

thanks for featuring my new book! @dukepress.bsky.social

Throughout a career that has spanned nearly four decades and encompasses photography, conceptual practices, collage, sculpture, and now painting, Lorna Simpson has created works of art that resist quick and easy reads.

Took a break from #4S2025 to visit Elliott Bay Books. It’s always fun to see @dukepress.bsky.social books out in the wild! 🧊🔥

so moved by this review of my book -- AwA'ahdah for this careful engaged read of my work! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

New in Transactions: 'Edward Curtis & the Harriman Alaska Expedition of 1899: Thinking beyond the portrait for land and landscape' by @sprucehen.bsky.social This paper analyses the career of photographer Edward Curtis & his relationship with naturalist George Bird Grinnell doi.org/10.1111/tran...

this Transactions piece had been in the slow cooker for many years I'm so glad that it's out!

Really excited to start reading @sprucehen.bsky.social 's new book 'Ice Geographies'! From reading the prologue I can tell this is exactly the kind of narrative I hope to see more of in the coming years - and I'm sure this book'll help achieve that :) Plus the cover art is wonderful!

What looks like an amazing book by a brilliant Indigenous scholar is on sale through the link below (and blurbed by the greats @hiokinai.bsky.social Hi'i Hobart and @brdemuth.bsky.social Bathsheba Demuth). Arctic governance and colonial administration are the most fascinating topics!

Yesterday was an extremely good mail day — perfect timing as it was official pub day for @sprucehen.bsky.social ‘s gorgeous new book 💕❄️🎉 #envhist #envhum

One of our new and exciting titles out this May is "Ice Geographies" by Jen Rose Smith @sprucehen.bsky.social . #EnvironmentalStudies #Geography buff.ly/BWX6cDK

I always wish we were hit with fewer athleisure ads and celebrated more loudly the proper origins of #InternationalWomensDay: that March 8 is for explicitly acknowledging women's labor, both in the home and in the workplace—and in solidarity with labor movements around the world. #三八 #國際勞動婦女節 #IWD

From @theathletic.bsky.social: The Department of Education has rescinded Title IX guidance that stated NIL payments must be proportionate between a university’s male and female athletes. nyti.ms/40Z3Z4i

In 2018, Google introduced policies that excluded applying AI to weapons, surveillance, and technologies that “cause or are likely to cause overall harm.” Now that promise is gone. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

READ AND FUND INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM and NEWSLETTERS h/t @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social. My personal favorites? @phillewis.bsky.social and @atrupar.com newsletters, @19thnews.org @propublica.org, and @motherjones.com. bsky.app/starter-pack...

All my lit nerds, poetry nerds, SF nerds (yes, there’s poetry about Star Trek in here) and Alaska nerds - @akwenstrup.bsky.social has a book coming out this spring! I’m ridiculously excited. We know I’m excitable as anything anyway, but this is REALLY exciting. She is a wonderful writer & human.

“Until now, much of the temperature proxy data from this epoch have come from marine sediments or terrestrial archives from middle or high latitudes, but little has been known about how temperature changed in the tropics.” This is a great piece I wish I had it before I wrote my ice core chapter!

Here’s a great overview of the phenomenal Nikki Giovanni. Truly a legend. 💔

Once again tapping - no, *pounding* the "support local, independent, worker-run newsrooms" sign
