Cover of 'Violent Waters: Environmental Politics in Early Modern England' by Elly Robson Dezateux
*Violent Waters: Environmental Politics in Early Modern England*
An important new book from @ellydezateux.bsky.social shows 'how environments were politically constructed and contested, and how environmental concerns inflected politics'. 🗃️

If you have the means, pls do consider matching my $15 donation or give what you can to Omar and Ibrahim's library fund for Gaza. Sometimes giving is in the simple act of RTing (or whatever it's called here). Sharing is caring too!

Love ‘found matrilineal’
Wow I’m so glad you enjoyed it, thank you for reading!

4 years of work, writing, research & collaboration; a lifetime of thinking. ‘The Book of Mysteries: Wild Time and The Ritual Year’ final edits went off to @pushkinpress.com on Friday - feels like a birth and a death all at the same time! Which, honestly, is very apt.
I love this book so much
‘I believe that damaging and destroying weapons of war is one way of waging peace: I can only conclude that for the British government, the waging of peace is terrorism.’

Gaza Soup Kitchen w mult locations across Gaza, they also provide medical aid through visiting physicians+ supplying food to the infirm. On the ground op w vast experience in the humanitarian sector. Things are still available to purchase but prices are exorbitant

Wow, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed.
The @LemkinInstitute is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT.
Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly:
"No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT."
"HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."
‘The willingness of the average British citizen to convict someone of smashing up a plane to prevent more deaths would be hard to guarantee. Now there is no need to worry.’

With a flood of new books seemingly drawing inspiration from David Mitchell's "Cloud Atlas," @charliejane.bsky.social asks if this incredibly influential novel has created a subgenre all on its own?

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell casts a huge shadow over the book world. I'm seeing a flood of books that borrow its genre-hopping, generation-spanning format.
So in my latest newsletter, I wonder: is Cloud Atlas becoming a bit of a genre on its own?

“Any effective response to the anti-gender movement will entail a critique of the new forms of authoritarianism and the passions they exploit.”
Judith Butler shows us how anti-gender rhetoric fuels current authoritarianism by producing social fears/anxieties. We must disrupt the emotional politics.
I wrote about the raid on the Quaker meeting house for the paper.
I’m chairing an event for @roisinmcd.bsky.social’s stunning new novel at Phlox Books in Leytonstone on the 9th of April! Do join us 🔥

‘The police entered in civilian clothes, used Google Translate to decipher the titles of the English language books and confiscated box loads, picking out any with a Palestinian flag on the cover.’
