May every single human being on this planet be safe. May every single person be protected from harm. May we bring into being a time in which we are all free from those who do evil— together, speedily and in our days.

It looks like there are a fair few of us on here now, so I've set up a starter pack for scholars working on Simone Weil. Anyone who wants to be added, just let me know 🙂 go.bsky.app/Hmjyma4

I've joined the Substack crowd to share notes-in-process toward my next book project, which dances with the concept of "agonistic communion"--living together, finding each other, in protracted struggle. This week's post is about my current climate collapse/climate hope reading.

"To refuse to participate in the shaping of our future is to give it up. Do not be misled into passivity either by false security (they don’t mean me) or by despair (there’s nothing we can do). Each of us must find our work and do it." —Audre Lorde
