I spent the morning at @scsunde Sarah Cameron Sunde's 36.5 / New York Estuary. A Durational Performance with the Sea. A moving work. Happening until 8:06pm in Queens New York and simultaneously around the world including in Aotearoa.
One aspect of the *transition* which I believe is under appreciated is the JUNK left by the oil & gas industry that is obstructing a buildout of new renewable energy projects. Nowhere is this made more plain than the federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico. boem.gov/renewable-ener…

Amiri Baraka made films, hosted radio shows, and built a mass communications studio to raise Black consciousness and prepare Black and Puerto Rican kids to diversify US media production. TOMORROW I talk about some recently recovered archival materials. bit.ly/3ziCR41
I'm giving a talk at Columbia about Amiri Baraka's "Black Communications Project" (his term for a program of interventions in radio, film, popular music etc.) on June 6. This is way off, but I hope some of you will put it in your calendars. @columbialib
From a student: "I finished reading How to Blow up a Pipeline yesterday—the chapters on climate despair and fatalism were exactly what I needed to read right now." Where is the How To Blow Up a Pipeline for gun violence (non-rhetorical question)?
