As I suppose is not surprising if one has followed me, I am massively pro-self-promotion for people's work. If you don't think your work is worth other people seeing it then don't do it. On the flipside if it was worth doing then it is worth trying to get people to read. So: if it exists promote it.

reading Elizabeth Anderson's "What Is the Point of Equality?" for the next @leftofphilosophy.bsky.social ep and my god she really murders the hell out of luck egalitarianism and throws the body right into the dumpster and lights it on fire

Constitutions evolve & remain a site of struggle for today’s Left, as explored on @leftofphilosophy.bsky.social’s chat with @lucienferguson.bsky.social on Reconstruction’s legacy. Loved considering notions of freedom as historically and economically contingent. #marxwasright #socialism #philosophy

Will really hits the correct analysis here, the republicans are the only ones in America that treat the Constitution as a living document, the Dems give it too much deference as a dead document. Legal realism wins again.

for every @leftofphilosophy.bsky.social episode we put out we get a pile of bad faith misreadings in our inbox, accusing us of all manner of reactionary nonsense. to you, our critics, I say: nothing. you howl uselessly into a yawning void prison of your own mind's construction

we've just recorded a banger new @leftofphilosophy.bsky.social episode on the US Constitution, focusing on the reconstruction amendments and the late 19C supreme court cases that limited their reach. 1 key takeaway is that only the reactionary right actively treats it as a living, malleable document

just wrapped a new @leftofphilosophy.bsky.social episode on Kathi Weeks and our conclusion is that even if the goal of non-alienated, non-exploited work is still too productivist an imaginary, we would nevertheless like some less alienated and less exploited work please

great pod about a great book.

Really good discussion on today's @leftofphilosophy.bsky.social on how the liberal concept of pluralism/universalism is inadequate in the face of indigenous movements for land back/sovereignity; one of those things where you can vibe out the contradiction but this was a solid articulation thereof

loved chatting with Michael a bit on this livestream -- and we have more collaborations in the works, so keep an eye out!
