If you care about justice, decolonization, and the power of storytelling from the margins, Dengê Çiyayên is a must-read. Azad Berwarî writes with deep passion and clarity about Kurdish history, culture, and resistance. His work brings light to a people too often silenced by imperial borders and state violence. If you follow my writing on racism, empire, and global solidarity, you’ll find a powerful ally in his words.
The Spouter isn’t a newsletter, it’s a slow-burning, typewritten excavation of petrohistory, myth, war, and collapse. Written with obsessive care and radical imagination, it asks: What if oil is sentient? What if we historicized fossil fuels not just as a resource, but as an invasive species, bound to empire and war? If you want writing that blends science, daemonology, and anti-militarist materialism, this is where to go. Think Cyclonopedia by way of a rusted-out Moby Dick. Dig in.
If you’re searching for sharp, uncompromising analysis of empire, capitalism, and U.S. hegemony, Rainer Shea delivers every time. His writing cuts through propaganda with clarity and purpose, offering a Marxist, anti-imperialist lens on global affairs and revolutionary history. For readers of my work who care about class struggle, colonialism, and building a just future, Rainer’s Substack is an essential voice.
Humanities in Revolt, by Dr. Jeffrey Nall, brings the power of philosophy, ethics, and radical humanism into everyday life. A bold challenge to authoritarianism, conformity, and injustice, it applies the humanities to questions of freedom, dignity, and how to live well. If you value thoughtfulness, moral clarity, and courage, this publication is a must-read.
