I really loved this book. I was expecting it to be good (it's Mary Annaïse Heglar!), but IMO it brought a new emotional (and intersectional) depth to areas of climate writing that I haven't seen explored much before now. Read it! And also, ask your local library to stock it so other people see it.

Today I unfriended someone on fb whose Spiked-esque quasi-fascist posts have been derailing me for years. Thought so many times about removing them, but they were 'nice' to me years ago, so I didn't. Kind of horrified at how much energy I've wasted over s'one I met once and talked to for ten mins.

Adam's first book really is that good. I imagine the next one will be, too!

@geoffcox.bsky.social Hi Geoff, thanks for the follow. I'm currently reading Richard Askwith's Race Against Time - have you come across it? I'm finding it really interesting, if occasionally confronting (as a not-that-old-but-definitely-getting-towards-ageing runner).

In 1973, a brilliant critic named Stuart Hall created a diagram that changed the way we study media, and could help you survive this moment. Just dropped: the second letter in my series about how to analyze the media in a time of crisis. It's all about codes. buttondown.com/thehypothesi...

It was such a pleasure to copyedit this book, and I'm delighted it's out in the world! Will Ruddick combines ancient wisdom and emerging technologies to explore how we can rebuild trust and create resilient economies from the ground up. A beautiful book. willruddick.substack.com/p/grassroots...

Great thread on why it's good for libraries to buy more from indie presses. Stu knows his stuff on this.
