Welcome to my newsletter, a place where you will find my long form writing online. The name for this newsletter is a line from Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars Trilogy. I highly recommend you read those books if you have not already.
My writing here will be about a synthesis of various things: anarchism, ecosocialism, abolitionism, post-capitalist desire (to use Mark Fisher’s term), critiquing and challenging the Nexus (a combination of social media, identitarianism, and cancel culture, which you can also hear me talk about on my podcast Fucking Cancelled with my partner Jay), nervous system education, attachment theory, Internal Family Systems, and other trauma recovery related topics, twelve steps, spirituality, sexuality, polyamory, rewilding, systems theory, science fiction, poetry, and presence.
The topics which draw me in and hold my heart might seem disparate, but to me they are pieces of a greater whole. They are tools that I use toward dreaming up an integrated, trauma informed, ecological, spiritual socialism that meets people (and the earth) where we are, and throws no one away. This newletter is a place for me to think through my ideas as they unfold, to keep my readers up to date with my thinking, and to share the writers who are currently inspiring me and pushing me forward.
More than anything this writing is about giving a fuck. It is about abandoning resignation and living with a rebellious heart. Believing that great, unbelievable levels transformation are possible, because they have to be. And it is only by believing in this that we can act as if it is possible and move toward a world where it is.
I appreciate donations to support my work.
