Hello Twitter. I'm here to talk about literature, climate change, infrastructure, obsolete things, whales, art, and all of the cool things you're working on. Probably also cats.
Loved reading “On Earth or in Poems: the Many Lives of Al-Andalus”, by @eric_calderwood.
A book about the various ways in which Al-Andalus has been represented in art and literature, it made Granada come alive. And the chapter on Palestinian al-Andalus was particularly moving.
I'm VERY happy to see this article in print: from brilliant UIUC PhD student Alexis Schmidt, a history and critique of Change of Air travel--the travel we do for health and relaxation. Alexis brings a fresh energy humanities lens to leisure 👏 #EnvHum

I spent a very long time reporting this story on whaling history, the North Atlantic right whale, and Nantucket. Please give it a read: https://t.co/TeJIuoayUo
@limn_press I highly recommend working with the LIMN team; I'll do it again the first chance I get. They're accepting pitches now for new issues and articles:

I'm delighted to have an article in LIMN 11, the Obsolescence issue, out now in *gorgeous* print and online editions. I write about the politics of wind energy and the uncanny returns of whaling culture on Nantucket. 1/

I LOVED working with the editors at @limn_press: I loved the collaborative peer review process and being part of a cohort thinking together about obsolescence. I also appreciated the deep care that went into editing and design.
