"As the only political form that is always to be invented, to be shaped before it exists, precisely because it depends on no beginning or command, anarchism is never what it is. That’s where its being lies. This plasticity is the meaning of its being, the meaning of its question.” (Malabou, 2023).

HEADS-UP, IRELAND. Another ICE flight headed your way. Based on info from human source, I expect this ICE flight — and/or another one tomorrow — to be unlawfully refouling Ukrainians through Poland.

Library folks: if COUNTER metrics reporting eventually lets you drill down into counting human access versus AI access... Will you weigh those counts differently? www.countermetrics.org/code-of-prac...

100% all of this: "We need ways of being and acting in the world that do not rely on the benevolence of a ruler who leaves office in four years, or on institutions so powerful and centralized that we cannot exert leverage upon them."

The achievement of Serbian students overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić can't be overstated. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and two months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.

Hello bed. I have missed you.

Yesterday, a mooring in Monterey Bay measured an oceanic temperature anomaly of 4.57°C (8.2°F) at 60 meters (nearly 200 feet!) This is the warmest subsurface temperature anomaly measured at the station since the very strong El Niño of 1997.

Hallelujah! The boat survived the storm.

Madcap dash. Made the connecting train. Last leg now. Well, unless I need to decamp elsewhere.

Oh c'mon, traffic. You wait until we're inside the M25 to play silly beggars?

It still amuses me that Bleed American got 9/11'd to a s/t lp. (If someone wants to buy an original press from the first run of Bleed American, I can fish it out of storage.)

Near The 'ding.

Oh god it is going dark already. For six months. *Puts pop music on*

I.have gone properly mad several times in my life, thus far. I think it has just stuck in gear, nowadays.

Knowledge production, publishing, and research dissemination are part of the same whole. And we should work on drawing them closer together.

Too much time on land. It is not good for the brain. It has been nice to reconnect with the south west, though. Perhaps I should bring my boat down in the K&A... smell yis later, Bath 🖤

I may pop to have a swift one at The Grapes before departing the south west. I am apprehensive about returning to the boat in case the wind has damaged things or sank it, but I have research interviews this week, so the earlier I get back, the better. (Even if I have to get a train to my parents'.)

The St. Katharine Docks were opened today in 1828. To create them 11,000 people were displaced from their homes and an ancient and historic church destroyed. Read here about the creation of the St. Katharine Docks www.thehistoryoflondon.co.uk/st-katharine...
