RIP Eliane Radigue. Recalling “diffuse, embody, occupy” @cafeotodalston.bsky.social curated by @irenerevell.bsky.social and Jo Langton in 2019. We enjoyed the live set by Angharad Davies, Rhodri Davies & Dominic Lash performed from Eliane Radigue’s Occam Delta series, along with Beatriz Ferreyra. 💜

One tiny footnote in all this is being old enough to remember when we had a socialist mayor of London who did a deal with Chavez for oil for TfL buses in exchange for urban planning consultancy (apparently geographers from Open University inc Doreen Massey went) 🚌 ⚡️

A slow moving tragedy that is preventable — see also — all other public institutions.

Oh dear god, ”a neurodiverse artist”; say no one in your employ is, ahem, *neurodivergent* without saying…

Here's another Covid scandal that is just starting to emerge into the public domain from today's Private Eye. I think this will turn into a big one. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Cooking up a conference with incredibles @silver-press.bsky.social & @irenerevell.bsky.social around this A* book I contributed a short essay to www.silverpress.org/products/bod... Cooking stage is something like: just back from the shops, putting on the oven. Wish us look in our magic-making 🙏

...and so Jeremy Hunt is now Sir Jeremy Hunt. My article about working for his dreadful pre-politics publishing company Hotcourses was a popular among NHS employees when he was health secretary; sharing it again for old times' sake. thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

Keir Starmer should just do plain speaking like “hey we’re just hoping to eliminate as many useless eaters as possible, it’s an economic necessity you understand”

@irenerevell.bsky.social discusses Pauline Oliveros' 1973 letter to Kate Millett, included in BODIES OF SOUND. In her riposte, Oliveros expounds upon her feminist philosophy of music that collapses roles of performer and audience into group listening situations 🎐 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

How quickly academic spaces--conferences, workshops, department meetings, other interactions--begin to grumble about hybrid modes gave me whiplash. "We prefer you be here in person" "We are trying to ensure in-person meetings" Telling us who you think is worth including/excluding.

This is a beautiful and sad farewell to the university and UEL from Ash Sharma - he asks, ‘I loved you, but did you love me? ’ The answer is sobering for us all. open.substack.com/pub/ashwanis...

Truly every time I log online a small part of me carries forth anticipatory energy of the 1990s (alt.music…. mailing lists, gurlspace etc etc)
