I picked up Johanna Hedva's How to Tell When We Will Die earlier this week and am very much enjoying it. There is a great essay about activism and failure and exhaustion that came at the exact moment I needed it.

One more! World Weaver Press has its ebooks on for $2.99 and anthologies on sale for Black Friday/Small Business Saturday with free shipping & a free Krampus ornament with any of the wintery books. Personally, I'm a fan of their solarpunk anthologies, and they have a sci-fi anth called Recognize Fascism that looks interesting.

Duke University Press is also running their fall sale now—40% off everything with “FALL24”! Instructions for international readers on how to take advantage here. Goes thru 12/13!
New career-spanning readers from:
poet for our times Aurora Levins Morales
mother of trans studies Susan Stryker
Books on raving, running, fly fishing and SF legend Terry Bisson’s last book are all part of the Practices series.
Amazing new work in disability studies (I think it covers preorders!), especially mimi khúc’s lifesaving dear Elia.
And in Black Studies!
And of course if you’d been meaning to catch up on Fredric Jameson following his death this fall, no better time to buy Postmodernism.
