my book is out now—today—as paperback. making it much more affordable for those who like tangible books (or for university libraries). others may still access free OA via www.bloomsburycollections.com/monograph?do...
photograph of a paperback against a wood floor. cover shows „concrete and plastic“ and author‘s name (me, kylie crane) as well as the (correct!) subtitle. the image is by julie sperling—an amazing mosaic called „we were here now“ (2018).

Gleich lange Spieße? #Klimakatastrophe? #CDU und #SPD wollen die Flugindustrie mit Senkungen bei Steuern und bei der Beimischung klimafreundlicher Treibstoffe "wettbewerbsfähig" machen. Die bereits laufende Bahnsanierung hingegen soll "überprüft" und "angepasst", das D-Ticket teurer werden.
Im Hintergrund zwei Stimmungsbilder aus den Städten Berlin und Marseille. Im Vordergrund zwei Grafiken von Flug- bzw. Zugtickets. Der Flug verbraucht 591kg CO2, hat 0% MwSt. und kostet 44.- Der Zug verbraucht 53kg CO2, hat in D 7% und in F 20% MwSt - je in der billigsten Klasse. Zum Vergleich steht darunter "CO2-Zielwert Person/Jahr laut Umweltbundesamt für Netto-Null: deutlich unter 1000 kg"

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

okay just finished book#2 of 2025 (won’t be keeping up this pace, no worries). also a strong recommendation! beautiful, slow, poetic: Orbital by Samantha Harvey.

the “exzellenz” system binds so much work and channels funding away from basic needs. fees? no thanks, this just compounds problems of access.

By request: 'Storage of private property in the street'. From my book 'From A to B'. Commentary below.
Black and white cartoon, with title 'Storage of private property in the street'. Picture of a row of terraced houses with five captioned items in front, with captions as follows:
Some lovely patio furniture? Not really the done thing.
The garden shed? Various curtains would twitch.
Some boxes of odds and ends that wouldn't fit in the loft? Frowned upon.
A wardrobe full of clothes? Outrage on local Facebook group.
Your car? Absolutely fine.
Separate panel below the main drawing.
