Corvus Editions @humanispherian.bsky.social · 23/09/2026While some are deeply concerned about the furry infiltration of commercial aviation, there are rumors that Senator Tuberville misunderstood the situation and, in fact, it is the air force that has gone furry, after another of the Secretary of War's biology experiments went badly awry. 020
Corvus Editions @humanispherian.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I'm hoping to design a couple of calendars again this year. One might involve a set of individualist / illegalist anarchist portraits, focused on figures associeted with "l'anarchie" and the Bande à Bonnot. I have an unfinished set of button designs that probably adapt and expand easily. 031
Corvus Editions @humanispherian.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I'm trying to plan a Corvus Editions relaunch that doesn't threaten headway on A New Proudhon Library, but does diversify my tasks a bit — which is usually good for my productivity.

Corvus Editions @humanispherian.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Let's be honest: We always forget the "never forget" stuff, in favor of the same old feeling of beleaguered team spirit. Real memories wouldn't be pliant enough to fit every new occasion — and we might feel the urge to learn from them. 010

Corvus Editions @humanispherian.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Today, I'm finishing up the translation of the unsigned series "Socialists and Malthusiens," from the Voix du Peuple and will probably try to steal an hour or so to get a solid French text together of Chojecki's "Studies on Credit," from the same source. Then it's back to work on the Mélanges. 020
Corvus Editions @humanispherian.bsky.social · 14/06/2026I'll get a chance to clarify things later this summer, as I am working on the journalism from late 1849 and 1850, but it looks like perhaps the more anarchist sense of "anarchy" saw a brief heyday around the time of the big debate on the State. 020
Corvus Editions @humanispherian.bsky.social · 09/06/2026The best evidence against the division of Proudhon's career into anarchist and federalist periods is the real absence of the kind of "anarchist period" critics seem to assume exists... somewhere...

Corvus Editions @humanispherian.bsky.social · 28/05/2026"Le Peuple de 1850" is a lot more interesting than the "Mélanges" would suggest, because much of the most interesting material comes from writers other than Proudhon. 030
Corvus Editions @humanispherian.bsky.social · 20/05/2026This caught my eye while working through Proudhon's newspapers. It's from "Le Peuple," May 1949. Cœurderoy's "Hurrah !!! ou la Révolution par les Cosaques" was published in 1854. 030
Corvus Editions @humanispherian.bsky.social · 19/05/2026I've been working my way through the second volume of Proudhon's "Mélanges."

Among other things, I can finally get the formatting of "God is Evil" and "Man is Free" straightened out. 130
Corvus Editions @humanispherian.bsky.social · 13/05/2026"General Idea of the Revolution in the 19th Century" isn't a bad book, but folks have real problems not reading all of those "business" terms as if Proudhon's proposal was to "run government like a business," rather than to account for collective force and seek justice.
