The most special part of this story is that
@kurtiveson.bsky.social
has read our work as a collective project - which is precisely what it is. I guess this is what it looks like when a joint intellectual project makes it out of the group chat, and into the world.

How can we understand the socio-ecological relations set in train as "commodity frontiers" rolled across stolen Aboriginal land? A question I grappled with through the internally-related stories of wool, coal, and sugar.

So how does the ecosocialist method travel to the settler colonies of Australia and Aotearoa? How does it speak to the Capitalocene, or the 'overshoot' conjuncture?

Another highlight. Fossil fuel investment in "low emissions technology" remains greenwash:

Some more context to understand the relationship between the ALP and fossil fuel exports - we're leading the world in expanding coal exports! This just in from the @iea.org: www.iea.org/reports/worl...

Lets remember also a few reasons why this is even worse than it seems:

1. Most emissions estimates use CO2e100, which downplays the stronger short term effect (significant for tipping points).

Today I finished my postdoc at @australiainstitute.org.au. Was a fantastic opportunity to work with the likes of @grogsgamut.bsky.social @emmashortis.bsky.social @rodcampbell.bsky.social @pollyjhemming.bsky.social, and @amyremeikis.bsky.social. Now, off to UTS CRF2025! www.uts.edu.au/research-and...

Flattered that
@chrisbowenmp.bsky.social
added me, but I think he has more important things to be doing... like ending new coal and gas, building renewables, and electrifying everything?

Or maybe he realised that all of those things rely on my hot takes?
