    Still reading Capital volume 1. Just finished chapter 4 and it felt like a complete breeze compared to the last two chapters (especially 3). But it’s been an enlightening experience. Reading David Harvey’s guide is helping as well - As well as Radhika Desai’s new capital lectures she’s uploading.

    Also getting through Fanon’s The Wretched of The Earth. It’s been okay, some of the conclusions he reaches I think are circumstantial but it’s important to be able to understand the lived experiences of decolonization.

    Immanuel Wallerstein’s introduction to worlds-systems analysis just came in the mail as well. Didn’t realize it was so tiny, I think I can bang it out in a week or 2 so I’ll try to get through that since it’s a topic I’m really interested in. I plan on reading all 4 volumes some time in the near future.

    This is what happens when you’re a part-time underemployed STEM graduate waiting to start a teaching residency.
