this strikes me as a really good framing - @elliemaeohagan.bsky.social is this one you considered in your work on this stuff?

the secret is that we keep marxism sort of confused & rough around the edges so that you (you in particular!) can have the joy of setting it right. it’s like a proof left to the reader, or those scenes in video games where you have to press the X button quickly to save the world

it has never ever occurred to me that I might want to go into politics but the office of "aloof wife" would suit me I think

This is the core ontological point. Biological sex is 100% real, but it is a process, not a set of categories.

ye gods if the reason Streeting is deliberately torturing trans children is because the press are holding back shit they have on him then there really can be no hell hot enough

Further to "late capitalism" having definitively begun on that specific fateful day in 1976, look at the kind of thing that was unleashed?? 👇👀

I feel like we should designate the era of "late capitalism" as starting on the date the Penguin edition of Capital was published and throw it a birthday party next year

Forever on the look-out for the perfect image to go with my favourite quote from A Lover's Discourse

omg why was Picard the paradigm facepalm when this still has been out there all along???

the worst thing about getting something published is editors moving all of your howevers to the beginnings of their sentences

A deep-dive into the fictional will and murder-for-inheritance scenario in Taylor Swift's Anti-Hero through the lens of English law — private purpose trusts, certainties, perpetuities, forfeiture, butterfly lifespans, cat pictures, and capricious pet bequests. equitysdarling.co.uk/2025/10/23/s...

It is also truly affirming being a legal expert exactly on this topic, and having the answer still need to be 'I don't know' when you get asked.

I always thought that eventually one day I would write a book or two, but if you had told undergraduate me that my first book would be about value and be published in a series called "New Directions in Modern Economics" I would have been very skeptical indeed. Anyway, pretty, isn't it?

Ye gods this ILR stuff must be so so frightening for so many people

Serious question: would you rather hear Wham perform a set of Joy Division covers, or Joy Division perform a set of Wham covers

hahahahahahaha turns out the existence of self-serving oligopolies is attributable to a moral failing on the part of consumers

The broader interests of capital long believed that they were concerned with ground rent, until the day of danger wrung from them the truth that they in fact wanted to be untouchable bigots doing coke and screaming at those they considered inferior. Etc.

honestly worth a fiver a month just for Labour to know how much I'm never again going to vote for one of their candidates

We are still open to submissions for our upcoming special issue, “Feminist Responses to the Regression of Trans Rights: Strategies, Alliances, Hope.” Please share this call for papers with anyone you think interested. The deadline for abstracts is Friday 31st October. 🏳️‍⚧️

It is a really interesting moment because, on the one hand, all the warnings and doubts and hedging the crits did for years came to pass in what felt like a flash. *Suddenly* the law, what it meant, and whether it would be followed became subject to political whim and, well: it wasn't sudden. 1/4

Loughborough Law you have to stop. You smoke too tough. Your swag too different. They’ll kill you Loughborough Law.

I think it’s vital that we observe the international networks that are working to eliminate abortion access. And just as vital that we observe that journalists only notice attacks on reproductive and other bodily and social freedoms once they affect people those journalists regard as fully human.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

they will never ever realise this lol

LOL

Me when I'm CEO of a microblogging app/website and someone calls me out on my bs

Every week we get another indication of how likely Reform is to form the next government and Labour panics and announces another reactionary policy to appease right wing voters, witlessly centralising more authoritarian power in the state they are about to hand over to Nigel Farage.

mfw an old friend from uni deadnames me versus mfw an email from my motor insurer deadnames me

Being nice to trans people really did turn out to be a load bearing part of liberal democracy ey

Legit wanna join just the Zarah Sultana faction of YP can that be a thing please?

The old left guard, it's time to go.

Just been blessed by a recollection of the existence of this recording - impossible to imagine a more perfect version of this song - it's like it was written for Hole to cover www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKf3...

New work mugshot

I told my kids it was the final boss of school

This, courtesy of my law journals RSS feed, is hilarious! (provided you are interested in boilerplate clauses in sovereign debt instruments) academic.oup.com/cmlj/article...

PoV you have gone to a panel at a critical legal conference on law and process ontology and I'm chairing

This research finding is insane wtf

Ever wonder why we can't tax Google? Racial Capitalism and International Tax Law (http://bit.ly/3JG8CLP) shows how a race panic triggered by decolonization in Africa prompted the sabotage of what had been a robust international corporate tax system. #racism #capitalism

Personally I would simply begin my investigation with the commodity

This kind of thing is why I, a tax lawyer, ended up presenting my research at a philosophy of biology conference this summer

New symposium out now🎉 Edited by @pashukanist.bsky.social, @nanoboss.bsky.social + me in @europeanlawopen.bsky.social seeks to introduce Marxist approaches to EU law scholarship. Read now 👉 www.cambridge.org/core/journal... 🧵 (1/9) A thread on the symposium (please share!)

people need to stop using the word "consequential" in their academic writing - it means that I do not know that I haven't been cited until I have typed the very last letter of my surname into the search box 😫

we are now seeing quite literal cisgender-people-only-may-apply research fellowships being advertised in UK academia

Rise and shine you g-dforsaken wretches it’s a beautiful day to suffer and endure.

the blurb drafted by the publisher about my book being of interest to "institutional and post-keynesian economists" versus the actual contents of my book

She has a back cover now, too! Would be so grateful if you’d preorder, request your library to acquire it, tell your friends, etc. Officially out in November.
