One of my favorite parts of assembling the yearly @contingent-mag.bsky.social book lists is the fact that the Routledge website invariably has the lowest possible quality cover images of its own books even as many other websites contain high quality versions of those same covers!

Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social.
The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.

The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

Financial precarity. Yes university students have always been living on their last 20 bucks, but the number of students I talk to now who have *multiple* jobs in addition to being fulltime students, some of whom are taking care of family members' survival needs as well as their own, is shocking. 5/

Every week now there’s a story that proves the UK’s lack of a bill of rights is a disaster
"I myself have publicly advocated the use of direct action, including property sabotage, in the cause of climate justice. It stands to reason that I should support the same range of tactics in the effort to prevent genocide."
Sally Rooney books may be withdrawn from UK sale over Palestine Action ban, court told

Look. I'm not playing with you people.
During the great depression, if you were employed and had a job, you probably were not living on the streets. In 2025, many homeless people have jobs.
Depending on whose stats you use, and if you count part-time employment, between 40% and 60% have jobs.
