4/ "the container is in some sense both an epoch-making design object, & an imaginative opening. It begs us to look beyond or within the banality of the box, & outward into the myriad ways that circulatory systems become wounds on our lives & architectural landscapes"

"The chapters, constructed as 'multispecies stories,' ... consider ecologies & infrastructure together in novel ways that challenge our conceptual separations between the two. Readers will find a theoretically exciting & vibrantly composed read with OIL BEACH" 🛢️🏖️📙

"..attending to these hidden intermediaries demystifies the way that a firm like Amazon builds power—not simply by bringing old relations “online,” but by shifting onto others the responsibility and risk of sustaining them" - Moira Weigel's recent report with @datasociety:

"If you understand Amazon as an aspiring megascale infrastructure company — a provider of systems, services, capacity, and labor — its junkification makes sense. Amazon hasn’t been acting like a store for a while. In its ideal future, selling things to people is everyone else’s problem. And so is Amazon."

Logistics nerds *must* check out Manifest, Matthew Hockenberry and Colette Perold's platform for mapping and analyzing supply chains. It's amazing, and I especially love how it begins by mapping its *own* supply chain. https://manifest.supplystudies.com/ #criticallogistics #criticalinfrastructurestudies #logistics #scm

As fully autonomous ships get closer to reality, fleet operators imagine operations centers where a single “captain” can oversee multiple vessels. Found this video fascinating. https://youtu.be/UPtdgiIrlJI #criticalinfrastructrestudies #criticallogistics #criticaldatastudies

My latest piece for Logic Magazine is available! What happens when ships become data? A lot of weird stuff, possibly. https://logicmag.io/pivot/ghost-ships/

I have an article, “Ghost Ships,” in the new issue of Logic. It’s about why global shipping runs on paper, the gold rush to change that, and the Middle Passage. I believe it’ll be available openly at some point, but you can buy it in print or digitally now: https://logicmag.io/pivot/ #criticallogistics #criticainfrastructure #logistics #criticaldatastudies

Speaking of #criticallogistics, was happy to see that the always-excellent Minh-ha T. Pham was on the Time to Say Goodbye podcast to talk about fast-fashion, racialized labor, and the mega-retailer Shein https://goodbye.substack.com/p/fast-fashion-asia-labor-shein#details

If you're not aware, you might find it interesting to know that the reason this dataset is particularly valuable (and rare) is that most companies do not know themselves which components make up their supply chains. By the time they work it out, the info is usually obsolete. #criticallogistics

Logistics nerds: The Advanced Semiconductor Supply Chain Dataset includes manually compiled, high-level information about the tools, materials, processes, countries, and firms involved in the production of advanced logic chips. ...
