15 years ago! And just as obsessed with #Thoreau and #Walden now.

[Dr. Laura Smith @waldengeogs]

My PhD viva was 10 years ago today. It marked the end of almost eight years studying @CUGeogPlan, from BSc to MSc and PhD. #Thoreau and #Walden both have a lot to answer for in the decade since... 😂🌱📚 #ecologicalrestoration

@waldengeogs, et al. include everyone in the climate emergency conversation by advocating for zines, self-published magazines. Zines provide activists, artists, and other creatives with an outlet for environmental storytelling and discourse.

Oh. 💘 Feels incredibly precious to be accepted and rated by this lot. My forthcoming @VersoBooks title is anarchist-approved! ✔️
A decade ago games were seen as having zero to do with organising. So glad that view is changing now. Thank you @Reddebrek for the thorough review.
