This space allows me to escape from the bustle of the city, while still being deeply in it. I flip over onto my back and daydream while watching wispy clouds drift across the blue sky. A sweet, minty aroma flavors the air ...

Rhetoric of Resilience and Radiation in Post-Fukushima Japan
The Japanese people and landscapes still feel the unending impacts of a nuclear catastrophe that occurred a dozen years ago. Thousands of black bags litter the Fukushima exclusion zone enclosing radioactive earth and rubbish with nowhere to go. This fall, Japan plans to release millions of tons of radioactive wastewater into the sea. The death and destruction of the earthquake and tsunami — a tragedy in itself — was compounded by nuclear calamity. On March 11, 2011, a powerful undersea earthq...

Mourning New York City’s Smart City Tech (neoliberal fallacy); Celebrating its Potential (tool for collective liberation)
New York City is launching a flurry of “smart city” initiatives, ballyhooed by the Adams administration as the nation's shining key to unlocking “green growth” and progress towards carbon emissions goals. In the article “How New York Smart City Projects are Leading the Way,” Olivia Laiamericas describes the city’s innovation incubators, pilot programs, and smart hubs as “vital to protect[ing] the city from worsening effects of climate change,” reflecting the techno-solutionist narrative ...
