Close your eyes. Recall the joy, hope, & resolution you felt in the moments you realised the ethos of socioeconomic fairness and kindness won.

How will you bring that spirit to all those who feel hopeless? How will you consistently show up for the reality of community you felt on Nov 5th, 2025? 💓

It can’t be a mere coincidence that an anagram of Richard Cheney is “herd chicanery”

McCarthyism really do be poppin’. Thinking about James C Scott’s “anarchist calisthenics” today.

I’ve been finding it a bit jarring meeting humans who opt not for considering care in the context of others’ benefit, but rather, only what they would want to give.

Ex: How could one’s hatred of brewing tea be totally unmoved by the pleasure of the loved one who’s requested it?

Honestly surprised it wasn’t Glasgow, but this at least a start. The least we can do is to boycott genoc*de. Have you looked up the BDS list yet? 💚

Calling all queer furries, alter-humans, and creatures!

If interested in taking part in a doctoral thesis (and subsequent book) on the eco-politics of multi- and trans-species entanglements, please take a peek at the participant info form and consider joining in. Your tale is worth it 🦎💚

Queerness as political philosophy—a politics of pro-social possibility amidst difference—is the loudhailer for anti-imperialism and anti-hierarchy. We therefore must continue to reflect on how queerphobia from within different liberation movements erodes the ground upon which those movements move.

I’ve been (re)teaching myself a bit of Scots Gaelic and have been playing around with it a bit. Last night’s discovery was that Gaelic pronounced in Valleyspeak sounds eerily like Simlish. Mentally replacing the Lion Rampart with a green plumbob.

something no one warns you about before beginning queer socio-political research is the merciless autocorrecting of “cishet” to “cashew"

Last week, I took a Chaucerian pilgrimage to Canterbury. I chose to share a story on interspecific entanglements and how they not only mediate queer theory & ecocriticism but ally prefigurative politics & speculative fabulation. Thanks rethinkingfable.bsky.social for hosting such a fabulous event!

Given the recent news on Labour’s scapegoating of immigrants, Israeli airstrikes on Palestinian hospitals, and Trump’s surveillance partnerships between Palantir and ICE, this is the time to redefine “neighbour” in terms or proximity to political agency.

As we’ve watched Stella Maris navigate this year-long defamation, it hasn’t been the normative claim “what has been must continue to be” that has troubled me most. Sadly, this rhetoric is to be expected from at least some humans; many grow accustomed to their chains while others cozy up on thrones.

Oh-so cringey how these twits (UK Supreme Court) will capitulate to / feel emboldened by trends within the US. It begs of us independent inquiry: "Where in our lives are we being ruled by fear? What is its actual root?"

The neoimperial logic is clear: The Subaltern (human and other-than-human) are as much political agent as they are levied commodity. We laugh at the absurdity, but this is a performance of grandstanding and political molestation at the expense of one of the last “untouched” biotical sanctuaries.
