When Artists Lose Their Archives I couldn't afford my storage unit anymore. After it was auctioned off, I found out that parts of my lost work were being sold online.

"If the archive is precarious, survival cannot be an individual project. Moten & Harney... offer language for thinking about life and labor outside institutional recognition... the informal, relational networks people build when official structures fail."

Solidarity with the Wine Moms

RIP Daniel Colson (1944-2026)
a singular and generous thinker of anarchism, whose work traced living lines of revolt and creation. It was an honor for Minor Compositions to publish the English version of “A Little Philosophical Lexicon of Anarchism from Proudhon to Deleuze”

Minor Compositions ad in the new issue of New Left Review, Number 156. This is dangerously close to us looking all professional and shit.

I Hate New Year's Day - Viewpoint Magazine That's why I hate New Year's. I want every morning to be a new year's for me. Every day I want to reckon with myself, and every day I want to renew myself. No day set aside for rest. I choose my pause...

“Every morning, when I wake again under the pall of the sky, I feel that for me it is New Year’s day.

That’s why I hate these New Year’s that fall like fixed maturities, which turn life and human spirit into a commercial concern with its neat final balance”

Now this is a fan. Epic. Much respect.
