Before the weekend, I am going to make some PDFs of books/zines I made prior to 2023 available to download for free on my website. In the meantime, here is a blog about LLMs and their relationship to the concept of a Big Other. sarahjanefieldblog.wordpress.com/2025…

This is so obvious and has been known since at least the 50s when Arendt and others wrote about it. By perpetuating austerity, "Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are busily handing their core constituencies to Nigel Farage." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

An invitation, a contentious tool, and what's a tangelgram anyway? Highlighted text from Hannah Arendt's essay, Truth and Politics. Newly published blog records some responses to an invitation to contribute to a research-creation project. sarahjanefieldblog.wordpress.com/2025/02/15/i...
