Among several reasons to recommend this episode is the lengthy good faith discussion of what fascism is, both during my convo with @aprilanson.bsky.social & Alex Menrisky, & during the Q&A that followed.

Inspired in part by Alex’s great book, published this year by @uminnpress.bsky.social
Everyday Ecofascism (Vandal Live at 2025 Quarry Farm Symposium)
with April Anson, Alexander Menrisky, & Jeffrey Insko

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated
