🌚🌞🌗🌿 4 years of work, writing, research & collaboration; a lifetime of thinking. ‘The Book of Mysteries: Wild Time and The Ritual Year’ final edits went off to @pushkinpress.com on Friday - feels like a birth and a death all at the same time! Which, honestly, is very apt.

Happy birthday dear Adorno. Of course you were a Virgo.

happy 9/11—Theodor W. Adorno’s Birthday—to those who celebrate, here’s my translation from a while back of Horkheimer’s 1938 birthday letter to Adorno on dialogue and dialectics! open.substack.com/pub/jamescra...

'Our politicians like to say that climate is a complex problem and difficult to solve, but this is false. It is, in fact, extremely easy.' Brilliantly clear eyed & important article from @jasonhickel.bsky.social on how we can fix the climate crisis right now. 🌎 tribunemag.co.uk/2025/09/can-...

Can Socialism Solve the Climate Crisis?

Governments globally are failing to combat climate change because they prioritise profit over the planet — for real change, the capitalist mode of production must be overhauled.

One day I'll finally write my essay about poets' love for, and obsession with, Houdini.

I suppose it should be some weak comfort that with each ill advised, morally bankrupt lurch to the right, Labour dooms itself more thoroughly.

Wrote this for @grantamag.bsky.social in 2019. Yet the last few weeks alone it's already been 3 book events/literary festivals (some big names in there) who I've had to chase to put the accent on my name. Small scale but frustrating effort. I wonder if it'll ever change? granta.com/the-power-of...

The crew of the Madleen have been abducted by Israel, a ship under a British flag. They are all in danger, and the British government has a responsibility to them. You can email the foreign office to record your concerns at fcdo.correspondence@fcdo.gov.uk.

Israel illegally boarded a humanitarian mission in international waters with heavy weaponry, then disappeared the crew. Al Jazeera is the only one I can find that is reporting on this without Israeli fluff or propaganda. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Recently finished @biidaasamose.bsky.social’s stunning work of environmental enquiry, thought & philosophy ‘Theory of Water.’ It considers Nishnaabe indigenous approaches to the land, to colonial capitalism & to interconnected, radical being. So many ‘eco-books’ disappoint, but not this one! 🌊🌊
