Has anyone got readings to recommend in @geography or #DiscardStudies veins (or such) on spaces for discarding & converting waste or "matter out of place"? Dumps, wastewater treatment, but also maybe jails and potters fields, sorts of things? TIA!

"According to anti-waste charity the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, one truckload of clothing is sent to a landfill or burned every second." Whew.

@bojacobs Hoo boy, I was just reading about this corporate-state collusive shitshow this week. I didn't realize what Anadarko is successor to and had never heard of Kerr-McGee or Karen Silkwood. That's some intense history.

I am pro-nuclear power at this moment in a pretty dispassionate way, but learning about what transpired in the 40s-90s helps me to understand the vigor of the protests against it.

I have mixed feelings about this, because some of what I spend a lot of time engaged with is from an exclusively critical perspective, but here are my "5 to 7 hashtags" ... with the caveat that I may not be who you think I am. Please read the preceding in an appropriately foreboding tone.

Overall, I situate my work with #discardstudies, a topic I've co-authored another book on with @maxliboiron That book is: Discard Studies: wasting, systems, and power also from MIT press and available open access https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262543651/discard-studies/

Samantha's book Recycling Reconsidered: The Present Failure and Future Promise of Environmental Action in the United States is essential reading for #AmericaRecyclesDay #DiscardStudies https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262525244/recycling-reconsidered/

GARBAGE. Trash. Rubbish.

#DiscardAnthropology with *the* Dr. @rznagle@twitter.com is up.

Finding treasures, driving a collections truck, plastic plagues, landfill gases, recycling myths, corporate conspiracies + more. Ooooh it’s a good one.

This text is a collective endeavor. I'm happy to be part of a diverse crowd of authors with different routes and experiences.
