"Most cities use about 50% of their water supplies on landscapes outdoors...It’s a huge use of our water and we want to make sure it’s used wisely." https://coloradosun.com/2025/01/31/colorado-turf-bill-residential/ via @coloradosun re: #WaterintheWest et al.

Announcing: An Inquiry into Modes of Existence
Bruno Latour explains the idea behind a forthcoming new book titled An Inquiry into Modes of Existence: An Anthropology of the Moderns. The project is essentially an An (alternative/comparative) anthropology of the Moderns.
But the baseline for such a comparative anthropology is entirely different if, instead of the emancipatory master narrative, one were to choose the alternative telling that stresses a history of implication and attachment around multiplied matters of concern: then the “others” stop being totally other and begin to appear as companions in a long history that has collected humans and nonhumans in various assemblages and at various scales. The odd notion of multiple “cultures” disappears along with that of “one nature”.

"Interviewed for a documentary, one of the Super Sewer engineers admitted that they were pushing hard to meet their targets in the face of endless problems with weather and resistant ground conditions...There seems, just now, to be a dangerously volatile relationship between actual human shit and the flights of promotional bullshit plastered around major holes in the ground." https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v45/n02/iain-sinclair/negative-equivalent re: #CSOs #ThamesTidewayTunnel et al. h/t @christopher_brown

"Once the damage has been halted, actually restoring a bog is relatively simple work and focuses on plugging the gaps and raising the water table. This is done by blocking gullies and creating moorland pools. Over winter, helicopters drop sacks of stones to use as dams and heather brash to protect vegetation. An army of staff and volunteers fan out across the moors planting thousands of plugs of sphagnum moss to help re-wet the landscape" https://www.telegraph.co.uk/environment/2023/04/09/peat-bogs-restoration-uk-climate-change/ via @Telegraph #NFM

"If one takes the idea that old world is ending seriously, this opens up much broader horizons...Letting it end allows us to get on with the beauty and mystery that is living. From this perspective, the back loop is a time to evolve and
shed...Taking up the challenge of the back loop is fundamentally a wager
of the present, and it will only be met through a combination of adaption, reinvigoration, and a radical shedding" http://openhumanitiespress.org/books/download/Wakefield_2020_Anthropocene-Back-Loop.pdf h/t @adamgreenfield #WorldMaking -

"Living in such a posture...Franciscans operated within a sphere of fiction...Or conceived another way, they lived out an alternative reality in hopes of living into being the world to come. What would it look like to create a fictional realm in which we live out the property relations we desire while actively seeking to make them more real? What would happen if we eventually forgot they were fictions? Would we be willing, then, to fight for them?" https://livingandfighting.net/A-Communism-We-Can-Use re: #worldmaking et al.

"I’ve spent the intervening four years leaning even further into patterning how
more-than-human characters and divination systems can be in conversation with
each other in a reciprocal way....It’s not a codex, but a record of an interaction
with trees, birds, bugs, place...This
deck's function is to show how meaning can by
discovered or layered into a landscape, and how
you can interact with it" https://matthewstansberry.files.wordpress.com/2021/03/minorarcana2021.pdf re: #Tarot #RustBeltArcana #entangled et al. -

"In Potawatomi ways of thinking, we uphold humility.

"what’s going to happen in 3 million years...That’s not important. But what happens tomorrow is not important either.
