    One of my favorite lil’ things I wrote this year. It is so satisfying to quickly publish short pieces while academic papers go through the loooong review process.

    If you're going to call every new person of color or white woman a "diversity hire" then you also have to call every new white man a "privilege hire". Don't blame me, those are just the rules.

    I’m so tired of debating whether or not race-based mascots, tomahawk chops and red face are offense. Of course it’s racist. You all know it’s racist. Can you just admit you don’t give a shit about Native ppl?

    But I do wish more geographers were able/trained sufficiently to tack back and forth between these things called 'theory' and 'action' a bit more evenly.

    And do they get us further to our goals? And who are we and what are our goals? Same goes for activists who are very heavily into written/read communication. I don't mean this to be derisive, nor do I have what I think are finite answers to these questions.

    Sometimes I feel like heavily theoretical branches of academia, like human geography, are all about pouring oodles of energy into building these conceptual frameworks that may be hot for a minute, but soon fall out of style.

    Listen to tenants, not policy experts. Listen to working people, not billionaires. We need a . is the only candidate who has done diligence with tenant movements and committed to a grassroots-sourced agenda.

    Around Christmas and the winter solstice, we realize our imaginations have taken us too far. All we want is warm bodies next to ours, huddled together until the night lifts.

    At Halloween, we're fascinated by the blurry line between the living and the dead. We wonder what it's like to cross the hedge, to maraud with the legions who have gone before us.

    In a writer's group I am in, a white woman responded to a Latinx woman's post about American Dirt by saying publishers have to cater to the American reading base, white people. Problem? Black women are the most likely Americans to read a book. Why do I bring this up? Well

    The school where I teach part-time is less "publish or perish", more "published a mystery novel in my spare time" and I'm definitely a fan 😆

    “Housing has lost its social function and is seen instead as a vehicle for wealth and asset growth. It has become a financial commodity, robbed of its connection to community, dignity and the idea of home.” - in .

    "We don't need an animism that ascribes superhealing powers to wedges of crystal mined by little kids, that tells us to heal ourselves from the ills of capitalist exploitation with more of the same. What does it look like to build a solidarity cosmology?"

    Witnessed the most amazing thing on the train to Edinburgh yesterday. A guy boarded in Wigan & sat opposite me. He went to sleep for an hour. When he woke up he bought a sandwich, ate it & went back to sleep. (This isn’t a maths test, you don’t need to know the distance/speed).

    "whites make up 60% of the population but hold 81% of full-time professorships. Meanwhile, African Americans and Hispanics, who account for about 31% of the national population, are just 4% and 3%, respectively, of full-time professors."
