My brother Sascha Rust recently co-authored an article with Benjamin Thompson that highlights the lack of traceability in the wild-caught seafood industry and why some in the industry resist change.

From Experiments in Imagining Otherwise by Lola Olufemi:

« Unlike chaotic accelerationism, which seeks to harness and extend the capitalistic grip, feminism asks us to turn away, to refuse, to block the way, to slow down in order to destroy all of those patterns and formations that would have us die before we are ready. »

« To understand the value of a life, one must create the conditions that enable us to defend it and then to flourish. »
