Delayed news and feels weird to share but my book, Probable Exhaustion: Progress Fictions in the Era of Fossil Capitalism, is under contract at Cornell University Press @cornellupress.bsky.social. I’ve been buried in revision work and hoping to land stable job but book will be out soon-ish

On the fascistic rot within the contradictions of liberal democracy. This whole piece worth a read! @charlotteerosen.bsky.social proteanmag.com/2025/01/20/t...
Excerpt: "For as numerous Black radical theorists have long articulated, in spite of liberal democracy’s apparently liberatory openings, what is fascism if not a state that authorizes dispossession, extraction, enslavement, elimination, control, and premature death along group-differentiated lines? That allows migrant children to work and die in factories, daily tortures a predominantly Black and non-white prisoner population (the most populous in the world), denies women access to abortions even when medically necessary, allows corporations to steal wages from their workers, and bankrolls the genocidal bombing of entire generations of innocent civilians — no matter which party is in power?"
