Intriguing how frequently the word “ideology” is now used in“public/media chit/chat” …. (especially US/UK). And so badly/wrongly🤬… it’s kind of hilarious (😩) when a politician or councillor says “let’s get ideology out of politics!” Erm …..🫤

As David Graeber said (paraphrased) & Birmingham proves: if nurses, mechanics, garbage collectors vanish, the effects will be catastrophic; without teachers, dock-workers, science-fiction writers we'd be lessened; without private equity CEOs, lobbyists, telemarketers & bailiffs things would improve.

I think most of who have worked in writing or entertainment know that piracy is a fact of life, and has been for a long time now. But there’s a difference between a broke student downloading a PDF of your book, and a multibillion dollar company stealing your work for its own bullshit purposes.

It is always worth knowing what the powerful mean when they use terms like "the economy."
"It used to be 'the economy' 
was the way we provide 
people with food, shelter 
and other necessities to 
keep them alive. Now we're 
all supposed to die for the 
sake of the economy. What 
is this thing they're talking 
about. Is it just code for rich 
people, Class power, or what?"

New article! I'll do a thread / blog soon, but it's out, and it's Open Access! 'Colonial fantasies of invulnerability to climate change' doi.org/10.1080/1461...
screenshot of first page, abstract reads: Despite an ever-growing critical literature, vulnerability retains its place as a dominant concept in climate politics. What is less heavily researched is the concept of “invulnerability,” an idea that feminist and decolonial theory has many tools to critique. After unpacking the material and discursive elements of vulnerability politics, this article focuses on invulnerability as a concept that is an influential yet unexplored set of masculine and colonial fantasies. These fantasies – of modernity, mastery, and continentalism – are critiqued through different critical traditions, which are brought into conversation with climate politics literature. I then discuss the counternarratives of Oceanic thought, following Teresia Teaiwa’s prompt to “island the world.” I argue that this can be done through a focus on care, relationality, and a decolonial politics of resistance. I conclude that resisting the politics of vulnerability requires an engagement with critical feminist and decolonial thought to enable an imaginative piercing of the fantasies of invulnerability.

Lorde’s The Cancer Journals (1980) is one of the first and most powerful statements reclaiming power over one’s health and survival, against a US medical industry oriented toward profit rather than human need. And it highlights how gendered and racist norms enforce that system. Wordcount: 74,734
