Ever wondered why there is no accessible book-length introduction to ecological economics and the political economy of transitions in Danish?
I know I have, so I tried to write one. It is out tomorrow, asking how we analytically should approach whether it is too little, too late and who benefits.

Excellent take on AI and class control!
There's a larger Capitalism's Productivity Myth at play. Technological developments aren't simply driven by productivity increases; productivity is always intertwined with managerial interests, by class power.
Tighter control and labor intensification look like productivity increases to capital 1/n

How does Radical Embodied Cognitive Science relate to Marxism?
In a recent preprint, I discuss this question at length, drawing on work by @tonychemero.bsky.social, @sorenmau.bsky.social, @edbaggs.bsky.social and many others.

I’m interested in how decolonial writing not only resists empire in content but also ways in which it can unsettle the architecture of language itself. What happens when we write from the borderlands and between rupture and rhythm?#decolonisecreativewriting #decolonialthoughts
