By way of introduction for new followers: Hi, I’m Matt! I’m a political theorist, and my work focuses on environmental political thought, new materialism, aesthetics, and (regrettably) Kant. If interested, here’s a link to a published article that’s at the center of my current book project.

I’m also very focused on pedagogical development and love teaching as an interactive performance art.
Beyond academia, I tend to vibe in (and post about) spaces surrounding gaming, rave/festival culture, fantasy/sci-fi, and film. Basically, I’m your standard gay, autistic, nerdy malcontent.

The world is on fire, but at least we have the remaster of Oblivion and it looks fucking spectacular. I’ll be in Cyrodiil for the next few days if you need me.

One reason the Trump administration is targeting pro-Palestinian protestors with revocation of temporary status and deportation is because they understand that their gutless opposition will avoid sticking up for these people at all costs

Look, I'm as surprised as the rest of y'all--but, to be fair, "universal healthcare" does, in fact, mean for *everyone,* including manosphere mind-poisoned gymbros. And class solidarity does, in fact, mean solidarity with people who might have bad/incomplete ideologies.

The saddest part of traveling home the day after Thanksgiving is no leftovers. Instead I’m just stranded in the airport eating a sad breakfast sandwich like an idiot, waiting for a plane that may or may not ever arrive from Milwaukee.
