June 2026

Welcome! Newsletter number 66.

I‘m uploading this in the middle of a research trip in the North Calotte region. Very limited time, so it’ll be one of the most matter-of-fact-type newsletters ever.

No new review on the blog. No time. But I have a few promising books lined up! And I wrote reviews of two German books for junge Welt: Johanna Schellhagen’s Wie wir uns eine Zukunft auf diesem Planeten erkämpfen, and Tobias Escher’s Die Zukunft des Fußballs. Wie KI und Big Data den Fußball verändern.

Modest sports writing for junge Welt: WNBA (2026 season opening) and RKB Solidarität (130 years).

Even more modest sports writing for Arbetaren: men‘s football world cup 2026.

I’m listing another article from Arbetaren, about solidarity with the Cuban people, even though it was already published in March – I simply forgot to list it then.

Not forgotten is the Arbetaren interview with German anarchosyndicalist historian galore Helge Döhring – this is a bona fide May release!

That was really it. Otherwise, lots of traveling and working on different writing projects.

More next month. Not least about the North Calotte research trip. Stay safe!
