Can someone give me the exact page number for this quote in Hannah Proctor's Burnout: “the exhaustion that comes from fighting against exhaustion’s causes" (it is at the beginning of chapter 5 on Exhaustion)? Thanks!

"as the world changes our elites are changing, becoming more fascist, attracted to ideas justifying that only some people are going to make it. it’s the job of a credible left to put forward a vision of the future for how we live together well on this planet." www.nytimes.com/2026/09/12/m...

Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor Say the End of the World Is Now on the Table (Gift Article)

In a new book, the writers argue that a powerful coalition of “end times fascists” is just fine with the earth’s demise.

Writing is nothing, rewriting is everything. Or: Writing is overrrated; rewriting, editing, deleting, adding etc amount to at least 50% of the work. Or: The writing is good only when the editing is good.

hey Danish Marxism, kan nogen give mig den officielle danske oversættelse og reference til citatet her: "capital is the endless and limitless drive to go beyond its limiting barrier. Every boundary [Grenze] is and has to be a barrier [Schranke] for it. Else it would cease to be capital"

The strangest thing about this week's academic cause célèbre is the impression it gives that we're still in 2021. In case some haven't noticed, rather more existential challenges to higher ed have emerged since. Would be good to focus on those.

France, Spain, England and beyond are burning. Where is the climate movement? 🔥 ’Don't Say Climate Change’ by ADRIENNE BULLER is live on The New Statesman now. 🔗 Read the essay through our link in bio

Beachgoers under a bright umbrella watch distant wildfires belching orange smoke across the sky, overlaid by the headline "DON'T SAY CLIMATE CHANGE" and a subheading asking where the climate movement is as Europe burns.

Excerpt describing a server in July 2015 in Vancouver who didn’t realize they were crying as ash and smoke from severe wildfires left their eyes and throat raw while taking orders, captioned with the essay title "Don't Say Climate Change" by Adrienne Buller.

Blurry orange wildfire background with large yellow overlay text stating summer fires across Canada burned nearly four million hectares and 2023 saw an unimaginable 17 million hectares, with a small credit to "Don't Say Climate Change" by Adrienne Buller.

Bold yellow headline reads "Less than six months later, the text of the Paris Agreement on climate change was agreed..." with a white subheading about the climate movement swelling to a fever pitch in 2019, set on a blurred orange background with a small credit to Adrienne Buller.
