Excited to receive a copy of the book Power Shift, edited by @imreszeman.bsky.social and Jennifer Wenzel, with a text by me on "Class." I wrote it in 2020-2021, in the middle of signing union cards, covid, and the weird lull in emissions. I feel like a lot of that is in the chapter. Full info below!

This keywords project brings together many long-admired energy humanities thinkers in 1 book of v. assignable essays. In my entry I don't talk much about screen time & instead muse about infrastructure, data sovereignty, and (eventually, a little bit,) bikes.
