Its worth it! I do also think archive fever is an important intervention into the wider conversation especially if read with gil anidjar’s attempts to really blow it up.

As an 80s kid from the arab world i think my most MAGA coded belief is the world was better when you could smoke inside

Obviously a stop to the mass death is good but feels more like one can perhaps breathe and reflect as opposed to celebrate.

A superb essay by Ashok Kumar from the latest issue of the BREAK–DOWN – a brilliant tour of the political economic terrain of fossil capital, from which springs essential strategic advice for activists. A must read!

A new piece by us up on Substack: "Against Colonial Conferencing," where we reflect on the akademic conference circuit as an integral part of the global tourism industry, as well as the destruction of Native Hawaiian and Palestinian lands and knowledge.

If you are thinking of visiting my homeland, please don’t. We don’t want or need any more tourists, and we certainly don’t like them. If you want to help our cause, pass this message on to your friends. Thank you.

“Lovely Hula Lands” by Haunani Kay-Trask

Recently, the Association for Asian American Studies (AAAS) announced that it will be convening its 2026 annual conference in Honolulu, Hawai‘i.

The call for proposals describes Hawai‘i as a “space, place, and time through which to collectively reflect on, respond to, and reckon with settler colonial and U.S. imperial desires and designs that continue to shape everyday life and futures.” So far, neither the participants nor the conveners appear to see a contradiction between the theme of the conference and its very material and environmental impact, in which hundreds of primarily North American scholars and their families will flock to a place that is actively under U.S. colonial military occupation.

"the solution is still the one that can succeed: to build a new cultural order, a new civilization. To do so, academics must embrace an unusual new role: as knowledge workers, they must seize the means of knowledge production."
