Wow, I still have more than twice as many followers as tweets. That must mean something good, mustn’t it?

Me, I tend to keep my academic work, and anarchist work, separate. Who’d want an “anarchist studies” department anyway?

Irony is I’ve never once published anything on anarchism in a peer-reviewed journal or presented at the Anarchist Studies conference.

Here’s someone who missed my point in Fragments. I didn’t say lack of anarchism in the academy was necessarily so bad. http://t.co/jfztvVTF.

Superheroes aren’t fascists. They’re just decent people living in a world where fascism is the only genuinely political possibility

Why do people keep repeating this strange assertion that Arjun Appadurai is a Marxist? Where does it come from?

Richard Dienst – “we must give away the university” – I thought he said “the universal!” Thought: why yes. The universal belongs to everyone
