A reminder that this post closes in one week! 👀👀

Una-Minh is right. It’s a banger!

I’m saddened to hear that First Monday will be closing. It has been a valuable, open access contributor to academia. firstmonday.org/ojs/index.ph...

Who would do such a stupid thing! 😂

I write this as a Dub who continually gets rejected for insurance - and cannot get flood or subsidence when they do offer it to me - all because the drains around here are inadequate. This is despite having robust defences built into my house. It will be much worse for those built on floodplains.

As climate change increases flooding risks for everyone, the insurance system will need substantial oversight and intervention. It should be made illegal to refuse people insurance for flood risks.

In all the discussion about how to prevent all the flooding, what is to be done about the flooding, who is to blame for all the flooding, why aren't we talking more about the problem of insurance. This is definitely somewhere policy interventions would be valuable - and necessary. #speirgorm

Thanks for your contribution Julián - both to this volume and the field more generally.

Having served on the editorial advisory board for this book, I’ve seen firsthand the depth of insight it offers. This is a foundational text and a must-read for everyone in the field.

Because I am going to bed soon (going out on NYE is for suckers), I wish everyone a rich and fulfiling 2026. And solidarity with everyone as we continue to fight back the dark forces of fascism, racism, misogyny, and trans- and homo-phobia (I could go on with this list, sadly).

Cover of Handbook of Digital Labour.

This arrived today. There is only one copy which is grrr but it is a thing of beauty. And hard graft. Thanks to all our contributors and my co-editors @grohmannrafael.bsky.social @bltergin.bsky.social and Julie Chen

Happy whatever you might be having yourself at this time of year - if anything. dai.ly/x2cwntt

Congratulations! Delighted to see this out.

That is AWESOME. And I am wearing my South Australian Museum giant squid socks today! (they have a replica in a disused lift shaft)

The special issue on Authortarianism in the Digital Age is now live (eds. @kylzjarrett.bsky.social @robkitchin.bsky.social @steelecat717.bsky.social and Jing Hiah). It is comprised of 48 commentaries from around the world exploring how the digital is implicated in creeping authoritarianism.

I’ve had my own VM dramas over the last few weeks. If you get a tech visit booked, my advice is to not believe they will arrive within the window they claim. Book out the whole day.

But, like, it is free......

I am looking for a Senior Researcher (at least 2 years postdoctoral exp.) for the LivePlatforms project into how people make livelihoods in the platform economy; a 5-year FT post based in the School of Info and Communication Studies at UCD. Do share widely!
