T.X. Watson is a 33(±1) year old artist and writer living in Hampshire county, Massachusetts. Watson graduated from Hampshire College in 2018, where they studied political art and philosophy from an anticapitalist perspective. Their Division III project, “Memetic Engines of Anticapitalism,” explored the ways that complex systems such as corporations act as agents in a manner that can’t be reduced to the agency of their constituent humans, and proposed strategies for fighting capitalist power structures that are informed by this understanding. The project is archived online at memeticengines.com.

Watson makes TikToks about philosophy and the norms and habits of academia. They’re published in the anthology Sunvault: Stories of Solarpunk and Eco-Speculation, and are a regular program participant at Massachusetts science fiction and fantasy literature convention Readercon.

Watson makes an effort to be available to some degree on as many social media platforms as possible, and can be found most readily on Twitter as @txwatson, on Instagram as txwatson, and on Discord as txwatson#3528. They grudgingly returned to Facebook in 2019 after 7 years of absence, and have a public page here.
