I have two recently published journal articles that trace the connections of buildings, knowledge work, and oil extraction across Houston and Saudi Arabia.

The first in JAE's new issue, Worlding. Energy. Transitions.

It's time for us to move to a 32-hour work week with no loss in pay. Technology and worker productivity has exploded in recent years. That transformation should benefit all, not just the few. It should create more time for friends, for family, for rest, and for relaxation.

This is your semi-annual reminder that these frigid polar vortex bomb cyclones happen BECAUSE of global warming! Hot N Pacific water pushes the arctic circle air down onto the US, let’s take action. #ClimateAction #ClimateCrisis

"Germany estimated that about 300,000 metric tons of methane entered the atmosphere as a result of the releases... roughly the same climate impact over a 20-year period as the annual emissions from about 5.48 million US cars." https://t.co/f1Y2euxngd

Had a great time presenting my work on architecture and the oil crisis at the @Petrocultures 2022 conference in Stavanger, Norway. 3 days aboard the MS Sandnes hearing fantastic presentations from colleagues across the humanities and social sciences. Skål!

Good lord. Hard to imagine all that we have destroyed. Log trucks in the 1940s in Washington state.

The far left (healthcare as a human right and a livable planet) is in no way "equivalent" to the far right (fascism), someone tell the pundits
