Great to talk to the wonderful @mirandaioss.bsky.social about this article - ecofascism and the banal NGO aesthetic legitimising populist narratives - appears in more places than you think...

We co-wrote a book and itβs out in the world now! Reading Science/Fiction: Practices, Pleasures and Publics.
It explores the relationship between reading science in fiction and engaging with science. Find out more here: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...
Silence is complicity
We would not have had 100000 people at a far-right demonstration without Starmer's appalling leadership
Silence is thus unsurprising and what matters now is whether those who actually care accept this and turn to real alternatives rather than give Starmer yet another chance
It's a real honor to be featured in the latest podcast episode by @drilledmedia.bsky.social -- a climate news media platform I greatly admire. You can checkout my interview where I discuss Apocalyptic Authoritarianism here: drilled.media/news/hanna-m...

New piece: been working on this for the best part of a year. But really it's trying to draw on everything I've seen and thought about since I first started reporting on far right politics in the late 2000s. Online now and in tomorrow's LRB.

Hello, Iβd like to join please :)
Looks amazing!
A digital graphic with a red and blue colour scheme comparing MP Chi Onwurahβs stance in 2023 and 2025. On the left, a red-tinted photo of Chi Onwurah from 2023 is paired with a speech bubble that reads: βWhy is this Government making it so hard for our kids?β On the right, a blue-tinted 2025 photo of Chi Onwurah appears with a red speech bubble containing a zipper-mouth emoji (π€), implying silence. A large blue arrow points from the 2023 quote to the 2025 image, with bold text reading: βWhat changed?β The background features faded images of protest banners, and the years "2023" and "2025" are prominently displayed next to Chi Onwurahβs name.
π’ What changed, Chi? 50% of kids in Newcastle live in poverty! In 2023, @chionwurah.bsky.social asked why the government was making life so hard for kids. But in 2025, with a new government in power, the policies keeping children in poverty are still in place!
