So I wrote this to a Famous Senior Sociologist who asked me a propos of nothing to read his book manuscript and I feel very 💅
I am afraid I cannot read your book manuscript. I read the manuscripts of my mentees and of colleagues who have been helpful to me. As a sociologist, you will appreciate that commenting on a book manuscript is a large job, and you are asking for a massive favor. Based on what reciprocity? For instance, have you ever invited me to speak? have you reviewed my first book in a sociological journal? Written over 100 years ago, Mauss’ analysis of reciprocity still offers today a powerful framework for understanding aid, hierarchies, and solidarity, and I take it as a reminder to be there for more junior colleagues.
I hope you will find this brief and practical application of Mauss helpful to your future practice when you approach junior women colleagues for free labor :)

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

The idea that "humanity" is heating the planet is BS. Rather, extractive colonial capitalist autocrats are heating the planet, killing the rest of us. These genocidal autocrats will be overcome. I imagine them freezing in the vacuum of space, a few miles from the planet that doesn't want them.
