Dystopian 1962 pro-DDT essay from Monsanto
In 1962, Monsanto released an essay called “The Desolate Year” describing an entire year in the US without the use of pesticides (DDT in particular), in which “the garotte of nature rampant began to tighten”. Worth a read for the gripping description of the destruction of (female) monstrous bugs and the final reports on DDT as a life saver. #monsanto https://iseethics.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/monsanto-magazine-1962-the-desolate-yeart.pdf

Zine launch announcement
Delighted to announce that Magiun #1 is finally out, in digital form, and can be seen, read and commented upon at https://magiun.online
Magiun is a magazine about everyday food. This first edition deals with eating in isolation - the struggles, the joys, the unexpected discoveries, the newly added anxieties.
Print version out soon!

food politics, fruit trademarks
Fascinating/horrifying read on fruit trademarks in the US: “The benefit to consumers of managed fruits is that ‘they receive a good consistent quality product under that brand and know they can trust it.’” https://thecounter.org/intellectual-property-trademark-ip-law-fruit-cosmic-crisp-cotton-candy-grapes/

The latest meal replacement gem I stumbled upon today - Calorie Mate, a Japanese product with a packaging that really stresses me out.

uhhmm, what software are people using to catalogue their books at home? I just realised that Calibre is not very good when you use it for other purposes than an e-book catalogue...
Just got the Feminist Finance Zine from Amateur Cities & The Institute of Network Cultures and I’m well impressed!

So, my video “Is it time to eat, or is there no more time to eat?” is currently playing in a loop at esc medien kunst labor in Graz, during the exhibition Cyborg Subjects. I find that pretty nice, all things considered. Wish I were there to see it all. https://esc.mur.at/en/projekt/cyborg-subjects
Food zine still in the works, just struggling with design and scribus and just design in general. 30 to 40 pages on goodness out soon! #selfpublishing #food #zine
If you’re also on Twitter, join the conversation tonight with #INCAmsterdam and #AmateurCities for the launch of the Feminist Finanance Zine #FFZine #FFZpatriarchy
