This includes my article on "The Inhuman Condition: Rethinking Anthropocentrism." Coincidentally, I am already on Spotify, screaming in the bands "Vengeance by Proxy" and "Civil Olydnad". I did my own audio recording of my article, but I promise I'm not screaming.

This is such a good example of what architecture has become to many people: surface, façade, visual aesthetics from the outside. It also shows how hollow much conservative politics is, and sadly it is easy to mobilize people with an appeal to the "classical" and "traditional"--even when fake.

What a joy to finally share the cover of The Organism–Environment Pairing (@mitpress.bsky.social)! The 📗 will be out on May 12 📆! I look forward to the conversations it sparks among scientists, philosophers & historians! mitpress.mit.edu/978026205282... #evosky #histsci #philsci #philsky #booksky 🌱🐋

Book cover with a green gradient background for "The Organism–Environment Pairing: A Historical and Philosophical Reappraisal" by Alejandro Fábregas-Tejeda (MIT Press, 2026). The book series label “The Vienna Series in Theoretical Biology” appears at the top. The title is set in large, bold lettering using three colors: white (“The” and “Pairing”), warm yellow (“Organism–”), and bright green (“Environment”). The subtitle appears below in smaller white text, and the author’s name is printed at the bottom. In the lower right, a monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) rests on clusters of pink milkweed flowers. Behind it, a large pale-green butterfly silhouette fills the background; its outline follows the shape of a red lacewing butterfly (Cethosia biblis). The layered butterflies visually echo the book’s central idea of an organism–environment pairing.

About enforcing age restrictions for social media: many point out that this enables tech companies to collect more data on us, but at the same time, social media indeed are harmful to users (of all ages). Rather than forcing them to add age verification, then, we should regulate their algorithms.

New #EnvHum publication: "The Inhuman Condition: Rethinking Anthropocentrism." Is humanity really to blame for the ecological crisis? Or are both humans and nonhumans victims of system that is bot inhuman and inhumane? I suggest the latter, and that an ecological anthropocentrism is needed.
