“Geophagic attunement encourages a temporary turn away from summing up Black people’s relationship to terra as defined solely by alienated labor. This momentary respite from exploitation — of both humans and the land — enables a focus on Black desire for and knowledge of the earth.”

"The lurch from declaring fears abt Iran to be mere media exaggerations to invoking imminent threat, from demanding the Nobel to luxuriating in lethality, is the essence of the autocrat’s monopoly on unpredictability...

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

Why does climate action so often take socially regressive and ecologically destructive forms? In a new #OpenAccess article, Michael Levien and @kasiapaprocki.bsky.social challenge the reductive articulation of climate solutions solely through the lens of carbon www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Interesting book, especially for those of us working on the Global South, and book launch 👇

it is the same playbook everywhere. “vote for us! we will make you great again by punishing the people you hate! do not pay attention to the fact that we’re also shoveling your money into the pockets of the uber wealthy and building a giant boot to step on your face too (preferably forever)”
