Had a great time chatting with @drdomdavies.bsky.social about literature, automobiles, infrastructure, and US empire. @ttinfranetwork.bsky.social is a really cool project - well worth checking out.

Train Dreams on Netflix is a beautiful film – but it misses the magic of the original novella The film loses the spirit of unsettling indirection that comprises the magic of the original story.

Twenty experts on the book that got them through their 20s – part one Many of us turn to literature to guide us through the highs and the lows of this formative time

An interesting selection on this list of “books that got you through your twenties” for @theconversation.com

There was only ever one choice for me: Joe Sacco’s Palestine.

What would yours be?

For the new TTiN series of conversations with academics and artists working on infrastructure.

This was such an inspiring discussion highlighting the value of an infrastructural approach to borders but also of alternative methods that bring wide audiences with them through the research process

Looking forward to this conversation with Filippo (a coauthor of mine on comics and climate change from a few years ago) next week about his new book Thirst: The Quest to Solve the Global Water Crisis, out now with @versobooks.bsky.social. Join us!

Black & white comic by Giada Peterle, within a visual review of J Fall's book "Along the line". The visual commentary uses quotes from the book in dialogue with drawn personal experiences by G Peterle, drawn as a visual response as part of her written commentary. The two panel page shows and assemblage of mobile phone app used to control mobility, feet and bodies moving in the city during covid lockdowns, as a sort of visual dialogue between two experiences of the same pandemic in different places.

Same as previous, showing small infrastructure elements of fences and tapes to control the movement of bodies during covid lockdowns.

I just listened to an excellent presentation on comics & infrastructure by Dr Giada Peterle, part of online talks organised by @drdomdavies.bsky.social within @ttinfranetwork.bsky.social. Such a creative, inspiring & generous scholar! (Her drawings on my book from gh.copernicus.org/articles/80/...)
