Back during my archaeology days before I my Dark Turn™️ to sociocultural, I used to knap all the time. I still have my leather, antlers, stones, and a stash of cores somewhere around...

I even made an atlatl and spears to throw them with too.

This is probably the best point I made out of basalt.

Our inaugural conference for SPINE was absolutely amazing yesterday. Incredible conversations, multimodal & politically disciplined proposals for moving forward in our current times, and many networking connections being made.

Dug a visual essay project out of mothballs to start working on again that's a very different kind of photography than I've done in the past.

I feel like I'm back working in archives!

I've been using the Hobonichi Techo as a diary since 2023 & I use the My 100 page to record my first-watch films & miniseries for the year.

I always fill it up before I get to December (e.g. watched my 100th yesterday) but I like being able physically flip through past watches.

And, I am nearly done translating a companion to "Art and the Working Class" called "The Socialism of Science: The Scientific Tasks of the Proletariat" which has also never been translated to English.

Maybe it'll come out next year??? We'll see! 👀

Today is the birthday of my main man Aleksandr Bogdanov, born today in 1873!

One of my proudest achievements is bringing "Art and the Working Class" into English for the first time.

You can download it for free from @iskrabooks.bsky.social or get a low-cost pb!

I'm doing an independent study course in Radical Aesthetics in the Fall that I've made completely multimodal (we do readings, watch films, listen to music, watch plays, etc.).

Here's a small selection. Full syllabus here: trgenovese.github.io/syllabi/PHI2...

I've got the quad-screen AP stream going so it feels like I'm in the middle of a sportsbook.

I'm definitely going to need to see a @deandettloff.bsky.social article about the media's use of Gen Z slang while covering the conclave.

On my usual bullshit...translating some more Bogdanov that hasn't been published in English before.

This time...it's the *scientific* tasks for the proletariat!

This'll pamphlet's translation will be my summer project.

I tend to get on a Che kick close to my birthday.

This year, especially, as I'll be turning the same age as our beloved Ernesto when he was murdered by the CIA.

There are very real material reasons why insults, attempted guilt, etc. doesn't work on us Millennials.

Black Monday? We've been through several of these things at this point.

Hey dipshit, you do realize you're doing exactly what you're complaining about here right? You've closed replies and quote posts, thereby allowing "only [your] voice" and making it so that "no one [can] answer back."

Stay out the kitchen if you can't stand the heat, you hypocritical loser.

Can’t believe it’s already been a year since you left this plane, Gaymon. Happy birthday today, and a prayer for rest on your death day tomorrow.

Miss you G.
