“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Newsnight

Sorry for all the delays. My life got very busy after the Guardian piece came out.

So I'll be on the BBC's flagship news and current affairs show Newsnight on August 22.

Soon I'll be in Mexico City.

I've managed to persuade Yoko Ono to put some of her work in my Penguin book!

I did a lovely dialogue with Paul Johnson: I'll embed it here.

And last week was Cinema Camp in Lithuania with some unbelievable film makers. More on all that soonest.

Right now I'm proofreading my Penguin book. You should be able to order my Verso book by now. It's like $13 for the hardback in the USA, which is a total steal.

I'm so excited for my Verso book coming out. I tried to think of the most offensive thing I could say, according to humanities scholars, and I say it:

We're all human beings, in the end, despite our differences.
