I recommend this excellent essay from @egies called "What Does #Water Want?"
It's clear and provocative and wise. It has me wondering about other parts of #nature and what they "want."
I hope people in #envhist and #envhum check this out.

UC Berkeley leans in on land acknowledgements to recognize the campus sits on Native lands. But when it comes to returning Native remains to tribes, it has the worst track record in the nation.

Despite decades of Indigenous activism and resistance, UC Berkeley has failed to return the remains of thousands of Native Americans to tribes. The university is still discovering more human remains.
Just sent off proofs for "The Biblical Priestly Tradition as Material Religion: A Comparative Ancient Mediterranean Approach," part of an attempt to theorize the most prominent biblical source as a semiotic ideology--a claim about how words and things work.
It connects a striking, often-remarked feature of the ritual--the near-total absence of prayer--with a striking but less-remarked feature of the narrative--the way divine language, and only divine language, structures reality.
