4pm Wednesday 26th November, I am presenting at a BSC Historical Criminology seminar on the origins of penal excess. Is it something the British learnt in its empire or something the English had developed before empire?

Snails, sex/marriage tourism, extinction, collapsing 4th wall, Ukraine, Russian invasion, and a resolute grandfather.
Worth a read but don’t be too disappointed at the ending (or lack of).

1960s West Country captured perfectly. Snow, marriage, class and pregnancy. Good story and enjoyable read.

I might not find some political activism that compelling but I try to keep in mind Kwame Ture's point:
"You don't criticize somebody who's doing something when you doing nothing."

Set in Japan, USA & Korea, a massively ambitious saga that tells the tale of a family but also manages to cover some bigger issues. An old fashioned novel (in a good way)
This is the ninth of the Booker long list I have read and the best so far.

The story of one man’s life, rags to riches attained in a quite detached and passive way. Plot has holes. But somehow it draws you in and becomes engrossing. Weirdly enjoyable.

Man goes on road trip to escape very ordinary marriage and tries to find himself, but there is not a lot there. Another uninspiring Booker long list read. But not the worse.

It’s such an important event in my year. An opportunity to share ideas, solidarity, love and to dance. I leave feeling invigorated and inspired. Thank you comrades, love you xxx
It was such an incredible pleasure to see you all at the Group’s conference in Malmö. A true abolitionist earthquake, a space to flourish, think, organise, conspire and act against the global punitive culture! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

So where is all the #Eurocrim2025 #ESC #Eurorim chat on Bluesky? What are people's thoughts? After seeing Panteion has pulled out surely the ESC needs to act?
