'See Red Women's Workshop' was a 1970-80s feminist collective who envisaged more equal futures via visual arts. In 'Geographies of Home' today, students played their snakes & ladders game re-imagined. Brilliant debating how 'snakes' had(n't) changed in 50 years! @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

one of the many important things I learned from Sylvia Wynter is that capitalism (specifically dispossession by accumulation) is a belief system (not just, say, a social-economic system). it is deified and worshipped. dig this: it’s a religion, faith, theology. we follow it.
