We co-wrote a book and it’s out in the world now! Reading Science/Fiction: Practices, Pleasures and Publics.
It explores the relationship between reading science in fiction and engaging with science. Find out more here: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...
Silence is complicity
We would not have had 100000 people at a far-right demonstration without Starmer's appalling leadership
Silence is thus unsurprising and what matters now is whether those who actually care accept this and turn to real alternatives rather than give Starmer yet another chance
It's a real honor to be featured in the latest podcast episode by @drilledmedia.bsky.social -- a climate news media platform I greatly admire. You can checkout my interview where I discuss Apocalyptic Authoritarianism here: drilled.media/news/hanna-m...

New piece: been working on this for the best part of a year. But really it's trying to draw on everything I've seen and thought about since I first started reporting on far right politics in the late 2000s. Online now and in tomorrow's LRB.

📢 What changed, Chi? 50% of kids in Newcastle live in poverty! In 2023, @chionwurah.bsky.social asked why the government was making life so hard for kids. But in 2025, with a new government in power, the policies keeping children in poverty are still in place!
