A few thoughts ahead of the piece of writing I’m releasing on Friday.
Psychological research links revenge fantasies to unresolved injustice and denied agency. They’re common. In women, they’re more often internalised and read, by others and by women themselves, as personal or moral failure.

After the response to my posts about nature cure, and the conversation they opened about the myths surrounding it, I wanted to reshare this deeply personal piece.
It’s about choosing permanence over performance. About the profound impact drystone walling and physical labour had on my relationship with my body and male desire.
This essay is adapted from my book Drystone – A Life Rebuilt.

"It was long thought impossible to infer clear types from the constantly shifting skies. But based on the journals [Luke Howard, industrial chemist by trade and amateur meteorologist by calling] kept since the age of ten, Howard became the first to name standard cloud formations systematically. "

Lesen ist langsam. Lesen braucht Zeit. Lesen verwandelt.
Genau deshalb ist es heute radikaler als Schreiben.

I am looking for the original Italian text of Italo Calvino’s Cibernetica e fantasmi. Appunti sulla narrativa come processo combinatorio. So far, I only managed to find its English translation, “Cybernetics and Ghosts”.
Can someone help me find it?

I can't tell you how much I loved this 6 hour video essay on GamerGate from a leftist POV. My only gripe is her constant joking that Millennials are old now so we are out of touch, blah blah blah. God I fucking hate ageism, but check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlltwOURUCE #YouTube #Video #VideoEssay #Essay

Zohran Mamdani majored in Africana Studies at Bowdoin College in Maine, at the time Peter Coviello taught the subject there, though he can't remember if New York City's Mayor-elect was his student or not. For LitHub, he explains how he was approached by a New York Times reporter to speak about Mamdani but didn't, because the writer missed the appointment, and what he thinks of the eventual piece, "a wreck, but of a form so pure, so purely Timesian, you almost have to admire it."

"In this, I share tech journalist and Bluesky board member Mike Masnick’s informed belief that global centralized moderation is a dead end. And if centralized moderation isn’t a plausible way forward, then experimentation toward genuinely community-led governance of decentralized networks is necessary."
