everyone is talking about getting copies of University Keywords (or other JHU Press books) for all their friends, students, and comrades for the holidays, especially when it is 40% off with the code HHOL25.

I wrote for @lpeblog.bsky.social about @alybatt.bsky.social's new book—which, I argue, shows how the critique of political economy can allow us to clearly name the social cause of climate catastrophe: capital. lpeproject.org/blog/when-na...

Don't miss Alyssa Battistoni's post about her excellent new book!!
A picture of Owen Wilson as Eli Cash in the Royal Tennenbaums, with text reading, "Well everyone knows capitalism tries to commodify everything. What this book presupposes is... maybe it doesn't?"

Fantastic podcast episode. At one point @katewagner.wehwalt.net points out that McMansions come in all sorts of styles, including post-modern, which consists of oddly arranged rectangles. Behold my neighbor, completed ca. 2024. The owner is from Texas.

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

Joshua Clover's recent passing is a tremendous loss for the communist cause. Not only was he a close friend and mentor to many in our collective, but he was also exemplary in his clarity, breadth, and dedication. We aspire to be like Joshua as we navigate this world on fire.
