  Late to this party, but yes, it appears a bunch of my music has been scraped and stolen by the AI anti-art theft machines. Mostly off Signs of Life, but a few songs from This Machine, including the title track and its video. https://www.theatlantic.com/category/ai-watchdog/?q=FourPlay+String+Quartet&aid=2483b169-7f7b-49ca-b96e-3fe5e510575a

  “My theory of change is to be” I have just had the immense privilege of spending the last week in the Yarra Valley on a Global Optimism Climate Leaders' Retreat led by Christiana Figueres - for six years the world's top climate negotiator as Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change - and the abbott and a dozen monastics from Plum Village - the Vietnamese Buddhist tradition founded by Thich Nhat Hanh.

  You'd have to be hiding under a rock with your fingers in your ears not to notice that degrowth in some for or another is coming, whether we like it or not. Better to choose our path.

  It's almost as though it might be useful for those in power to keep us arguing about what words we can and can't use. instead of, you know, doing politics. https://in-between-days.ghost.io/globalise-the-hows-your-father/

  Of all the symptoms of global systems collapse, the one that terrifies me the most is this. I need meds to keep me able to move. I’ll grind to a halt without them. For some friends, it’s life and death. As we let go of some of the old world, please let us keep meds https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-18/middle-east-war-medicines-supply-costs/106465132

  Since it appears we’ve had a reprieve from Armageddon and can live to fight another day, now feels like a good time to re-up this recent piece of mine, teasing out the necessity and limits of left populism. What do we do if our movement critiques the system as broken but needs the system to work? https://in-between-days.ghost.io/zohran-zack-and-the-necessity-and-limits-of-left-populism/
