Summer in Florida: tumultuous rain, perfectly tiny dogs, and good books. @mltondre.bsky.social excited to read your introduction with my students in the fall :)

Hooray!!!! ☀️

We are in the courts each week. Visit www.newsanctuarynsc.org to get involved.

On Tuesday, our members witnessed ICE and FBI agents kidnapping a man in front of his family after his immigration hearing at 290 Broadway. His case had NOT been dismissed by the immigration judge, and he was instructed that he would have time to gather evidence to support his case.

A very short review of Allen MacDuffie's brilliant book: academic.oup.com/isle/advance...

A short blog post from my book *Oil*: thanks to all the folks at Bloomsbury! @bloomsburylit.bsky.social

“Monster soup”…perhaps a better title for the dirty water campaign.

404 has the details. But in a number of interviews w those who've interacted with the Musk gizmocrats, AI and integrating government systems with AI comes up repeatedly. This isn't surprising in itself. AI is big in all tech now. But fits with what is described here.

For @publicbooks.bsky.social, I reviewed Elizabeth Anker's fascinating & extremely ambitious "On Paradox," which critiques almost the whole theoretical connection between politics and aesthetics (and then rebuilds a little). Books should take big swings! www.publicbooks.org/beyond-the-d...

if there were reporting "What started Thursday as a political purge of the internal security services accelerated Friday into a full-blown coup."

Join us Thursday, Jan. 30, for an urgent town hall for our members on immigration and the threat of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in schools and hospitals. We'll be discussing Trump's mass deportation agenda & its harmful consequences. Register: event.on24.com/wcc/r/484534...

JP Morgan’s report of 2020 warns of the desperate urgency of climate action:"[delay] opens us up to potentially catastrophic outcomes, which might be impossible to reverse.” It beggars belief that they now backpedal on net zero promises. They have sold their children’s future for a mess of potage.

Dude this is so fucking bleak; I know I’m naive but I still genuinely cannot believe we have people in the humanities normalizing this stuff

@climateconnections.bsky.social @katharinehayhoe.com Amazing list of books on climate collapse for Trump 2.0, all hot off the press and aimed for everyone—nice to see my book OIL featured 🌿 #climate #climatecrisis #ClimateSolutions #energy yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/01/12-b...

*Cringe* I have started a blog. Thanks @ruthtingay.bsky.social for the encouragement. The first post looks back at my landmark Supreme Court win last June and the ripple effects it's still having. Please read it or not as you choose! sarahfinch.co.uk

Another release of the day is "Deviant Matter" by @kwazana.bsky.social. Rot, jelly, ferment, and intoxication challenge us to think about resistance, race, and queer life across scales—from the molecular to the political. A must-read for anyone curious about how matter shapes power.

My book OIL is out now in Bloomsbury’s Object Lessons series! Sharing a few images below—big thanks to everyone who helped bring it to life 🌿 www.bloomsbury.com/us/oil-97815...

I own it now and so should you 🤩🔥🌿 @mltondre.bsky.social

I'm *thrilled* that my book was shortlisted for the MLA Prize for a First Book! Enormous thanks to the committee for honoring RENDERED OBSOLETE, and congratulations to the winners, Adhaar Noor Desai and Miya Qiong Xie! www.mla.org/Resources/Ca...

The poster isn’t on bluesky so screenshotting but this is definitely one of the more evil UHC stories I’ve seen.

Looking forward to presenting next week at the Greenhouse Environmental Humanities Book Talk series! Huge thanks to @dollyjorgensen.bsky.social for organizing the series--and so much else. Please join us on Monday 12/9 at 16:00 Central European time/10:00 Eastern. 🐋 newnatures.org/greenhouse/e...

application season -- so sending this around again!

Announcing the Vcologies Working Group’s 2025 Early Career Prize! Such a great opportunity—see the CFP below for more details.

I've signed an open letter calling for a reform to the COP process, including only allowing countries actively trying to meet the Paris targets to host, and strengthening the mechanisms to hold countries accountable for their targets and commitments. Read more: www.clubofrome.org/cop-reform-2...

my sadly somewhat timely book has a cover now, which i think is very beautiful 🌿

Just opened my author copies for Oil, a short book on petroleum and climate politics in Bloomsbury’s Object Lessons series. Excited for publication day later this month! www.bloomsbury.com/us/oil-97815...

i think that the people interested in recriminations and score settling right now aren’t seriously grappling with the magnitude of what happened and the implications for the rest of our lives. most of us will probably die living in the political order that will emerge out of this election.

If you’re wondering how this election could be so close you should really read my new book, *The Ecological Plot: How Stories Gave Rise to a Science*. It has no answers, and in fact has no insights into this election whatsoever. I just think you should read it because that would be super nice of you
