Review: Deep Adaptation – Navigating the Realities of Climate Chaos
Trigger warnings for eschatology, despair, grief, climate chaos, near-term societal collapse.
If you, bold snowflake, can make it through that opening sentence without melting into a malaise and retreating to the safe space – let me attempt to relay devastation in a digestible format. Me a mere cuck, gibbering from the bedside as reality brain fucks your raw out.

Review: Post-Internet Far Right
The creators of the essential anti-fascist podcast 12 Rules For What? have published the first of two books analyzing current tropes of the right-wing political movement and how it has evolved as both a digital and IRL entity.

In a world gone mad, this book provides a much needed opportunity to comprehend how the far-right has become what it is today.
