WEIRD SEAS OF THE CLIMATE CRISIS
Beautiful photostory by Andrew Whitehouse on what it's like to watch the patterns of birds around Aberdeen's coastline, and the subtle signs that not all is right with the climate.

BLOG: To think, feel and see otherwise: a report and a mini-zine from POLLEN23

https://futurenatures.org/to-think-feel-and-see-otherwise-report-mini-zine-pollen23/

Trees can hide painful memories. The law is a fragile shield.
Resisting resource grabs is exhausting. Desire produces new ecologies.
Art can help to think, feel and see otherwise. POLLEN produces new ideas and connections.

New piece on foraging, ‘Earth kin’ and ecologies

“Foragers know that the plants and fungi they pick are alive; they know their stories of birth, growth, reproduction, aging, and dying. They know who eats whom, who becomes food for whom, and their own place in this dance.”

nathan_oxley,

@NatureMC thank you!

“Civilisation, rather than being critically interrogated, or understood to be plural and diverse, is made equivalent to the current world system.

The political affect produced through these refrains and the silences they effect is one that looks to the State as a means of political resolution…

The hegemony of these refrains is ultimately contested not by diversifying ‘our’ representatives, but by opening up the environment movement…

nathan_oxley,

“…to a broader range of images, perspectives and imaginaries that can take hold of the wealth of lived experiences and connections that constitute a planetary ecological movement.

This is already underway, with an increasing visibility of indigenous, Black & feminist perspectives and priorities, with the rise of alternative political framings that contest what is both realistic & what is necessary, from degrowth to collapsology, the Red Deal to the increasing centrality of commons & commoning.

nathan_oxley,

“…Finding ways to narrate agency without succumbing to exceptionalist delusions or fantasies of the State is the necessary task for a new environmental praxis adequate to the Anthropocene.”

Naming, unnaming and commons -

https://futurenatures.org/naming-unnaming-and-commons/

A new piece for where I think about Ursula Le Guin's story 'She Unnames Them' and other themes of naming and renaming in Le Guin's work. It's about the naming process involved in natural science, and how that differs from the way people name things in every day life. And it's about who has the power to name stuff and who might decide to unname and rename it.
