I started a substack. It’s mostly about academia and job hunting and trying to live life amidst chaos, and amidst the hellfires of capitalism. check it out. If for no other reason then to tell me I’m an ok writer bc pretty sentences are one of the very few things that currently bring me joy.

does anyone have a contact at @tribunemagazine.bsky.social? a friend and I have a very cute/cool Marxist feminist thing we’d like to submit but like ideally not to an automated inbox no one ever checks 🫠
I’m not gonna say I wrote the book on Danish Marxism, but I am technically a contributing author
increasingly what i enjoy doing is thinking about how to mix art, media and 'non-academic' forms of expression with my work and this has been a cool way to play around with that. major thanks goes to @voelkerrechtsblog.org for being open to this kind of thing & to anna sophia for the visual :)
