Red background. Headline in pale yellow reads: REVIEW ESSAY Texts of Wrecking and Renewal by Alejandro Beas-Murillo. Underneath are photos of the three book covers which are reviewed in the essay. Below that is white text which is a quote from the review. It reads: ‘... all three of these texts, as well as their authors, are scrambling to capture a life, a world, and a mode of being in relation to the natural world – and to one another – that are about to disappear.’ Red background. At the top is a book cover, showing the book being reviewed. Underneath in yellow text is the title and author of the book: My Clavicle: And Other Massive Misalignments by Marta Sanz, trans. by Katie King.

Below that is a quote from the review in white: ‘As both titles suggest, there exist, in a post-war society, traces and echoes in the landscape, an invitation to remember.

Today is 9 years since Grenfell. Despite clear evidence (both before, during and since the disaster) of premeditated crimes, criminal negligence, and misconduct in public office, survivors and bereaved family are still waiting for justice.

It’s the first of June, the beginning of Pride month. Stonewall was a riot. Trans rights are human rights. No one gets to erase us from history. Fight back against book bans. Fuck anybody who thinks we don’t deserve love or bodily autonomy. They don’t get to steal our joy.

The fact that more and more people are taking up hobbies such as gardening, pottery, woodwork, art, floristry etc will only grow as AI grows. We’ll need tactile human interaction more and more. And our mental health and well-being will improve as a consequence.

Watching the Greens win the mayoral & council (not called yet but they're on 39 councillors with 1 ward to declare) today in Hackney, win in Hastings, Waltham Forest & Norwich, and (my local) go from 2 councillors to **28** (1 short of overall majority) in Haringey has been a small but real 🌱 today

Greens with second highest vote share, it’s estimated. (Let’s ignore the top.) “This showed the Greens on 18%, behind Reform UK on 26% but ahead of Labour and the Tories, who were both on 17% and the Liberal Democrats on 16%” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
