Am I Human, or Have I Become a Soft Cyborg?
Working Notes from the Posthuman Frontier I’ve just begun reading Francesca Ferrando‘s The Art of Being Posthuman: Who Are We in the 21st Century? I’m only at the beginning, but I already have a feeling this book is going to take me somewhere interesting. I picked it up because of a question I’ve been chasing...

Mestra
The library texted me that one of my requested holds was in for pickup: Mestra by Madeline Miller. It’s a little smaller than I expected! 😂 I finished it in a single pomodoro. It’s a first-person retelling of the Mestra myth. Speaking as a daughter trying to help care for an aging father, it’s a real […]

Interview on Civility Unbound
The idea of civility goes back to classical Rome and the ways in which citizens engaged one another within the republic. The term itself is often used in a number of different ways, reflecting expected behavior, particularly in public spaces, and as a mechanism to manage human interaction. But civility and the use of this...

End Times Fascism
A scathing investigation into the apocalyptic thinking of the Christian nationalists, tech-bro reactionaries, and populist survivalists who increasingly define the contemporary right—and a recipe for how to fight them. As the planet burns and shared reality melts, a new iteration of the far right is on the march. How can we understand this dangerous new development, and what resources can we draw on to resist it? In their scathing assessment of the contemporary scene, the celebrated activists and authors Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor explore how the religious fundamentalists, Silicon Valley technologists, and ethno-nationalists who make up this apocalyptic alliance share more than one might think: they are united in their belief that some kind of cleansing cataclysm is coming, whether through the manifestation of messianic prophecy, the rampages of a resource- and job-consuming artificial intelligence, or the purported existential threat of immigration and cultural replacement. Rather than avoiding this conflagration, they welcome it, convinced they will be among the saved on the other side. “End Times Fascism” is the ideology of the actors who strive to make the world unlivable and then seek to protect themselves from the fallout—whether by repairing to luxurious private islands, rocketing off to Mars, or bunkering the nation to keep their enemies at bay. The new survivalists have accumulated power, but they are far from impregnable. As Klein and Taylor show via original reporting and analysis, their many internal conflicts and contradictions and their nihilistic inability to envision a shared future, even for their ostensible allies, leave them vulnerable to a new kind of “pro-life” politics—rooted in reverence for our shared existence and regard for the earth we inhabit and must protect.

Io vorrei dare soldi a Bonelli, ma non ci riesco. Voglio recuperare Mercurio Loi, vado sul sito e clicco personaggi: non c'è nella lista principale. Ci sta, è una cosa minore.

I need a literary chaser.
I finished the Errol Flynn biography I was reading. It’s an excellently researched book, but damn. As I wrote on Goodreads: An excellent biography that confirmed to me that Flynn was Not a Nice Man. Like, I was expecting him to be a raconteur, a playboy, maybe someone a bit naughty. “In like Flynn!” chortle […]

Writing is how I do philosophy. I went into Waterstones on Gower st in London intending to find a book about writing. The shop itself was superb—the kind of place a bookshop should be—and I wandered through the writing shelves waiting for something to reach out and demand a place in my collection. A few...
