For what it’s worth, the latter design isn’t “machine readable” enough, apparently, so they went with the blue design. I can use the larger drawing for posters etc. Check here for orders & more info:

My book has a cover!
“North Stars of Emancipation: California’s Diverse Food and Farming Movements in Times of Racial Reckoning” comes out on @mitpress.bsky.social on July 14, 2026
Pre-orders welcome, of course! Also, I’m setting up virtual & in-person events, so get in touch if that’s of interest
"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."

Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.
Hey there I work hard to be uncool for my child , not my problem that being cool is uncool now
But I’m happy to hear otherwise! Maybe someone has more direct experience with this sort of dialogue with MAGA / MAHA advocates?
Am I too cynical to think that this proposed approach is laughably naive?
Because as I read it, no, this would never happen and any efforts to “build that common ground” are as likely to ruin progressive movements as they are to improve regressive ones

"A very beautiful story."
How the Alps lost its bone-breaker vultures - then got them back.
Few things are as uplifting as the return of wild nature.

Fun stories
But if you’re confused about why that is… maybe think longer about it 🤔
It’s hard to reverse decades of brainwashing USians to think “Muslims are terrorists and we are freedom fighters”, but it must be done.
Sad that US nonelites relate more to the genocidal settler-colonists plopped down in the Levant than they do innocent families/communities in place for 1000+ years
Because Democrats
I look forward to a world where I need not see or hear a single white rich dude talking like this asshat. I believe we can build that world 🙏🏽
As of 9 March 2026, Israel has killed 486 people, injured 1,313 and displaced 667,831 people in Lebanon
That's roughly 10% of the entire population displaced already
And if you don’t get what’s wrong with this “quiz” post, read all the replies to it
Whether you’re a Chomsky gal or a Parenti person, it’s apparent that NYT loves to manufacture consent for the tech industry, and/or invents realities that don’t exist to move people towards AI worship.
Either way, glad I don’t read that awful rag. Boycott it, if you don’t already!
Reality reminder: it actually does not have to be this way
I almost think Israel may be competing with the USA for most cumulative war crimes???
They still got a ways to go, but the effort really shows
New CEO of Bluesky is a VC who is mega into promoting AI
Not excited for that (not that Jay’s leadership was that inspiring either!)

In contrast, one of my students had an early (pre-dookie) Green Day tshirt on and I was like, so happy, even though I don’t particularly love that phase of their musical output
Then again, it’s likely that Elvis (maybe even Stevie Wonder) would draw blank stares. Historical amnesia all around!
you don’t hate rich people enough
The state will kill us all, yet no one wants to “smash the state” anymore… too bad IMO
War is an unnecessary ecological disaster added atop an existing ecological catastrophe and the only people who authentically want this are sociopaths with power also known as politicians
I can’t wait for a world not defined by “Pax Americana”, aka endless war, economic-military domination, environmental destruction, prevention of political progress the world over, suppression of liberation struggles and socialism, pacification & suppression of its own peoples…
Inshallah 🙏🏽
The USA will not win this war.
Iranians will suffer, many will suffer, the mass majority of US residents will also suffer: war is fucking bad.
But in the end, this will be just another nail in the coffin of US empire, an end that is long overdue and will be an unmatched blessing for the world.
And why we cannot be shocked anymore. The ruling classes have no need for intelligence, reflection, or even justification for their actions
Too common a pattern tbh
