Hi everyone,

I've been knocked off my feet by a nasty bug this past week, and, because I'm pregnant, trying to ride it out the old-school way with lots of ginger, lemon, garlic and anything else non-pharmaceutical I can get my hands on (any tips welcome!) On top of that, the deadline for the final draft of my book is the close of today! So in lieu of a written newsletter here's a talk I gave a few weeks ago at the Amsterdam Complexity School for Climate Change.

Regular readers will notice a few common themes in this talk: violence; the importance of our bodies; the notion of a reproductive economy; freedom. In many ways, this talk is a bit of a sneak peek at my forthcoming book!

I hope you all enjoy it! Please let me know in the comments what you think.

I also want to directly thank the members who took out annual subscriptions after my last call for support. It is a huge relief to feel that these emails reach you, and I am very grateful to be in community with you all.

Thank you for being here,
Rachel
