Super niche non-fiction book from a novelist who is writing/reflecting about writing and the influences to her thinking. I cannot recall how I came across this or why I picked up other than the first section on “Plants” touched on ecology and the landscape with big mentions of Jeff Vandermeer’s Southern Reach books and Timothy Morton’s concepts of Dark Ecology and Hyperobjects. There are some distinctly female oriented views on the books topics (‘Plants’, ‘Planets’, and ‘Bleed’) and that offered up some powerful, persuasive notions of women as receptors — of the good and bad — and the body becomes the site for dealing with these issues. As the husband of a breast-cancer survivor, I’m very sensitive to this notion that the civilization’s literally high toxicity writ itself large within women’s bodies. Those observations by Wilk spurred me to purchase my next three reading projects, so we’ll see where that rabbit hole takes me!

It's super annoying how hard it is to point out #hyperobjects

"Averting wildlife-borne infectious disease epidemics requires a focus on socio-ecological drivers and a redesign of the global food system"

"H5N1 is adapting to new mammalian hosts, raising the possibility of the virus spreading between humans."

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00245-6

In case it's not clear by now, biosecurity measures either aren't being taken seriously or are useless. Considering the various responses that I've seen over the last year, with my confirmation bias of course, serious biosecurity is bad for the animal farming business short-term profit goals.

Will bird flu spark a human pandemic? Scientists say the risk is rising

I thought it might be interesting to compare the REAL monsters represented by Godzilla and Cloverfield.

Godzilla Minus One and more thoughts on hyperobjects

I loved Godzilla movies when I was a kid. I saw Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster (Godzilla vs. Hedora) in the theater. My brother was crazier about Japanese monster movies than I was. “Dear God, pleas…

@cognacore I bumped into your account in my hashtag search for #timothymorton . Thought I’d reach out and say hi because your profile and some of your posts resonate with me. Also #hyperobjects and #deschooling !

Climate scientists, tell me something. I'm reading a spokesperson from the UN Climate Report, prof. Sebastian Mernild, saying that one cannot at the moment say "whether climate change is causing the current heat waves, or it is just a natural variation of the weather ... One would have to make a lot of calculations and statistics to be able to say that". This does not make logical sense to me. #climatechange #climatology #hyperobjects #causality

Oh boy. #RoyScranton is good.

This article is a stunner. Not only is it superbly written, dense with facts about the toxic industries surrounding the Houston Ship Canal, clear about the political incompetence dealing with storm flooding on Texas coastlines, and a focus on #DarkEcology and #hyperobjects via a discussion with #TimothyMorton (another dark ecologist and complex thinker, but...
