@goodfriendraf @KaiHeron I don't really consider myself a degrowther necessarily but Jason Hickel and Giorgos Kallis have written a lot. Or the new book THE FUTURE IS DEGROWTH at Verso. Or this: https://t.co/7gDSvrxS9h

Fascinating history of the fight for the Toxic Substances Control Act in the 70s featuring significant union support, especially when thinking about mitigating present-day ecological crises (from "Baptized in PCBs" by Ellen Griffith Spears) h/t @cannafis_ https://t.co/iGWqiZM5GJ

WORLD OF TROUBLE by Ben H. Winters The last book of the trilogy. A good and entertaining conclusion that kept me guessing. https://t.co/kLGzOOxzS0

I voted for Summer Lee and John Fetterman. I am rooting hard for Paul Prescod, Elizabeth Fiedler, and Rick Krajewski on the other side of PA, along with Robert LeVertis Bell and Tyler Lamon in KY and Phil Carter in NC.

THE VANISHED BIRDS by Simon Jimenez A beautiful, epic, character-driven science fiction novel that stretches across a thousand years and multiple galaxies. It reminded me of HYPERION at times. https://t.co/v2h6gCE2MJ

THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD by John le Carré This is my first le Carré novel. It's a classic for a reason. https://t.co/rKwfcmwAat

I just finished reading TESTIMONY by @sarahlazare and Peter Lazare. It's a fun thriller about regulatory capture, public-private partnerships, and the national security apparatus in the wake of 9/11. We need more novels like this (and energy democracy).
