Excited to be in conversation with Jason Read and madeline lane-mckinley 🍉🍉🍉 at this year's Red May Seattle festival about my new book "Fake Work." The schedule of panels and events is now live. redmayseattle.org




Join us! This Wednesday. Things are getting fake; with some of my favorite critics of work and labor. Haymarket Books



It's here. It's queer. Thanks to Quinn Slobodian and Melinda Cooper for the endorsements. And thanks to Haymarket Books for being a fantastic press to work with. And to capitalism, its millennial articulations in particular, for the humor.


Scholarly publishing advice for academics and cats, from the [email protected] in today's The Chronicle of Higher Education ; I actually did start "Marx for Cats," as a video series; it's still up, too, at vimeo.com/marxforcats




"Fake Work" gets great write up today's The New York Times as "superbly committed to its own beliefs — truthful, dryly funny and often subtly moving." Haymarket Books nytimes.com/2025/06/16/boo…
