Simon Morris is joined by Nick Thurston as they attempt to read aloud whilst peddling on exercise bikes.
The second in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. What does the sharing of vulnerability entail? Can such a sharing inform progressive social relations?

Bleu Shut reveals, and allows us to enjoy, our gullibility within the pervasive absurdity of modern life.
The ongoing development of [b]reach, an abolitionist black queer retelling of Marge Piercy’s incredible feminist utopian novel Woman on the Edge of Time.
