Fascinating panel on ethnography and sustainability: Flic Heathcote-Márcz and Sideeq Mohammed on shopping centers, motorways and "the social value matrix". NARTI School for Business and Society 🏫 @UoYSBS_Research

Played a show with Not Above Evil for the first time in years. Thanks to everyone at Rebellion in Manchester for having us!

Hugely supportive of this, really great to see this kind of leadership on the international stage. politico.com/news/2023/07/0… The sun is a Lovecraftian horror that must be destroyed. #blackenthecursedsun #saynotosunshine

It's always great to cheer on our Kent Business School graduates. Congratulations to all of the students who got their awards over the last week. We're so proud of you.

Scotland! I love it here more than I have words to say. Braeriach via Lairig Ghru. A chill 30k.

Behold! The breathtaking Scottish vistas visible from the summits of Ben Macdui and Cairn Gorm. I have not gotten soaked through like that in ages.

Still cloudy on the Munros so I did the ridge north of Glenmore. Meall a' Bhuachaille to Creagan Gorm to Craiggowrie. Finished with a drink at the Pine Marten bar. A great day.

As epistolary, queer, posthuman, romance: 9/10. Beautiful. Heartrending. Involving.  As a metaphysically challenging book about a time war: 0/10. Contains no mention of syzegetic lemurs. Sometimes book covers can in fact be misleading.

Spent the last week greenfield camping in a field in Barham with the Scouts and other leaders of 16th Canterbury. Everyone had an amazing time doing archery, air rifle shooting, incident hikes, cooking over fires, and telling stories etc. Now to get home and have a proper wash!

I apologize in advance to anyone in my life who comes to me with a genuine problem in the next year, and has to watch me pause, think carefully, and then say "I have a solution: Wolves". In my defence, it's a good solution. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

"Doomist thinking is dangerous because it breeds paralysis and disengagement, which is precisely what the forces of climate inaction seek" is a really interesting mechanism of affective control/a way to enforce mandatory hopefulness. ft.com/content/60f6e9…

We'll be welcoming all of the new undergraduate students to Kent Business School over the next few days. As part of my "Welcome to KBS" talks, I give them all these challenges for their first year.

The paper is really interesting, but the framing of the reporting around it is honestly hilarious. "Honey, we're going to have to cut back on our climate change this year. With the car payments and little Timmy's braces, we just can't afford it." theguardian.com/environment/20…
