In "Dopamine," Robyn lingers in the space between appearances and reality, perception and emotion, asking if there can be any clean divide between the material world and our perception of it, between being with others and dancing on our own.

In "Nuclear Revanchism," Jean Everard travels across the Southwestern US to see the effects of uranium mining, processing, and testing firsthand and meet the people resisting these projects at every point along the supply chain.

As the AI boom promises data center investment and increased energy demand, proponents of nuclear power see an opportunity for growth. But what does the nuclear supply chain actually look like for those most affected by it?

Hailed as an “important” and “urgent” work of original scholarship, Alyssa Battistoni’s Free Gifts: Capitalism and the Politics of Nature promises a systematic account of capital's relationship to nature. But for communists interested in nonhuman relations, the book falls flat on many fronts.

"On the Columbia as elsewhere, each phase of metabolic development has brought not long-term growth and prosperity, nor an ecological utopia, but ruin and misery. The sensory evidence is overwhelming. Perhaps you feel it in your bones, muscles, and sinews. Perhaps you can smell it in the air."

While the Gen Z protests may be over, the conditions that produced them have not gone away. We hope this record can both inspire potential revolutionaries and serve as an unadorned snapshot of what it was like to participate in these struggles.

"Now the Actual Work Starts" gives us an early snapshot of a process in motion, but the themes emerging from it provide a glimpse of what remained consistent across these movements, as diverse as they became.

Tactics, ideas, and forms of organization circulated as each struggle tried to learn from the others.

Each of the uprisings seemed to emerge from similar conditions: high youth unemployment, rising inequality, and widespread corruption. These common features and the shared Gen Z moniker helped to intertwine revolts across the planet that might otherwise appear unrelated.

Heatwave Magazine @htwvmag.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Though they were quickly dubbed the "Gen Z protests" by commenters, it soon became clear that these movements were composed of people of all ages whose concerns went far beyond social media bans or other inciting incidents.

How might this nascent form of subjectivity transcend the horizons of the capitalist social and ecological order to become a form of partisan activity that breaks down the metabolic separation and dissolves the anthropic status quo? How are we to be partisans of the flood?

"Before the Flood" provides a theoretical and historical account of the formation of ecological subjectivity, siting it within the context of capitalist crisis and the weakening link between the reproduction of capital and the reproduction of the species.

from radical environmentalism to animal liberation to land defense. Political economic accounts of environmental movements have persistently failed to explain ecological subjectivity or provide an adequate critique of anthropocentrism, often dismissing them as mere idealism.

How do we account for subjectivity that attempts to overcome the barriers not only of social atomization, but of species? In "Before the Flood: A Theory of Ecological Partisanship," J. Caurine explores the historical and material forces that produce militant ecological movements

Attentive to these local conditions and their place within the larger (inter)national story, "Beneath the Prairie, the Concrete" provides a report on the organizing context in the DFW metroplex in light of the political repression surrounding, but not exclusive to, the Prairieland Defendants.

But it is also a distinctly local story, one that reveals much about North Texas and the particular geographies of race and class that produced it.

Heatwave Magazine @htwvmag.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Folding together racialized border hysteria, anti-trans panic, socialist gun violence, anarchist insurrection, and the ever-present catch-all “antifa,” the case of Prairieland is its own chimera adequate to the times.
