- I won’t be awake at 2:30 this morning (I hope) but fingers crossed!
- "It's fruit wine, what's not to like?"

- Might have helped to include the link! www.pdcnet.org/pga/content/...
- The introduction to our symposium on Kirstie McClure is up. It was such a pleasure working with @arashdavar.bsky.social, @fredleept.bsky.social, and @kyebarker.bsky.social on this. #poltheory
- The date for the next @associationpt.bsky.social meeting has been set for October 8-10 at the University of Michigan (it's not a home game weekend, we checked!). Paper proposals are due February 10. Come hang out in Ann Arbor before it gets frigid! #poltheory
- I'll be working on an entry on #Montesquieu for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy in the coming months. If you have any recommendations about secondary readings the biblio absolutely must include (especially French language ones), I'm all ears! #poltheory
- Dvora Yanow's contribution to our symposium on Kirstie McClure in 'Philosophy and Global Affairs' is now available! #poltheory
- The introduction to our symposium on Kirstie McClure is up. It was such a pleasure working with @arashdavar.bsky.social, @fredleept.bsky.social, and @kyebarker.bsky.social on this. #poltheory

- One of the funnier academic typos (malapropisms?) that I've seen. From David Harvey's "Neoliberalism as Creative Destruction."
- What a peculiar visual callback.
- I'm trying to figure out what the closest contemporary media analogue to Wollstonecraft's Vindications - especially the first one - might be. Blogs are dead. TikTok is too compressed and too visual. A Substack post? A newspaper editorial? Any thoughts?
- Wendy Brown's comments at a memorial for Kirstie McClure, organized by Davide Panagia back in 2024, are now available. #poltheory www.pdcnet.org/pga/content/...
- The first piece of our symposium in honor of Kirstie McClure is available from Philosophy and Global Affairs. Thank you to Patchen Markell for his lovely essay and to Jane Anna Gordon for shepherding it through the publication process. #poltheory
- Personally, I'm grateful to my co-editors - @arashdavar.bsky.social, @kyebarker.bsky.social, and @fredleept.bsky.social - for making this happen. Pieces from Matthew Crow, Vicki Hsueh, Dvora Yanow, and Wendy Brown, as well as our introduction, are forthcoming. #poltheory
- So glad I didn’t try to fit this in my suitcase - it’s ginormous. Even more glad I bought it.
- I'm about a third of the way through the new translation of Chaim Grade's (unfinished) "Sons and Daughters" and I already know it'll be one of the best things I read this year.

- The week I spent in Reykjavik was nowhere near long enough.
- a compelling argument
- Writing a book is so much more of a joint venture than most us realize. Or at least, more than I realized. Revising chapter 1 of my manuscript now in light of in-depth comments from four different colleagues.
- It's just satisfying to say aloud.
