@handmade_ghost These fascinating heroes were stars in one of my podcast episodes as #moreThanHuman #farmers: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-07-when-gardeners-run-wild-part-1/id1630784381?i=1000606747381 (starting at 28:27) Nice to see them working hard! 
"In this week’s podcast, Emily Polk learns of the enduring generosity and spirit of survival of these tiny creatures, and glimpses the greater circles of loss that connect us with the more-than-human world. Listen to “Telling the Bees." via @emergencemagazine https://emergencemagazine.org/podcast/
The bonobos are talking, like, in sentences. Your regular reminder that human exceptionalism has no visible means of support.

Are you curious how I invented my micro-macro-amplifyer and why I like Dr Who? How I learned from a BBC colleague that a bed is important for work? Do you want to imagine a grey haired woman watching childrens' TV and having a culture clash thanks to Audacity?

@JosephMeyer Please don't insult invertebrae and the #moreThanHuman world. 
You will see that many invertebrates are on a higher level of evolution than some politicians. 
@NovaNaturalist I understand the joke, but that would be an anthropocentric insult to all invertebrates and the #moreThanHuman world.

The Dorrigo Escarpment Great Walk
Intensifying the throughput rate with a series of soaring walkways through the Gondwana Rainforest
The $56.4 million investment in Dorrigo National Park will create “accessible, engaging and immersive experiences for visitors. The 4-day walking track will “connect people with nature... The new 46-km multi-day walk along the rugged escarpment within Dorrigo and Bindarri national parks, includes hiker camps, pedestrian bridges and lookouts.”
The review of environmental factors for the Dorrigo Escarpment Great Walk is available for public comment

There is an information session at the
Gleniffer Hall at 10am on Tuesday 11 February

Can you hear the ice giggling? It parties wildly at night with stones and rocks and hugs the tarmac.
And then you can hear it everywhere: when the big Twolegs lurch and stagger, when they scream and squeal as they pick up speed.
"World domination for rocks", giggles the ice. "Homo sapiens can't even walk properly! The world is ours!", whisper the stones and the tarmac. If you are completely still, you can feel their vibrations.

'Sea shells, women's blood and an Andean bioclimatology of water'
LIVE in the Daryll Forde Room, 2nd Floor of the UCL Anthropology Dept, 14 Taviton St, London WC1H 0BW
ZOOM ID 384 186 2174 passcode Wawilak
Denise Arnold explores the mutual rearing practices between Andean populations and water, in its different manifestations, as a key life-giving element in their mountainous habitat. Andean animist ontologies recognise how humans and water flow are constituted mutually, through a dynamic relationality, which extends to other aquatic phenomena, including the sea-shell Spondylus princeps. This knowledge is learned and transmitted between the generations in the rites of passage of adolescent girls and boys, when they learn an interdependence with water, establish relations with water beings, and practice equivalences between their own blood flow and water flow.
Examined in this context are Inka rites of passage, a school ritual focused on learning about water flow, a female rite of passage when women learn to use particular designs and colours in their weavings, and a ritual offering of Spondylus to high mountain shrines. These practices are situated in the emerging discipline of bioclimatology.
Denise, an Anglo-Bolivian anthropologist, directs the Instituto de Lengua y Cultura Aymara, in La Paz, Bolivia. She will be LIVE in the Daryll Forde, 2nd Floor, UCL Anthropology Dept, 14 Taviton St, WC1H 0BW. Please arrive by 6:30pm before doors close. Or join on ZOOM ID 384 186 2174 passcode Wawilak
@SRTurtleIsland As long as we see #nature as "essential services" for humans and divide #species in "good" or "bad", nothing will change in that #biodiversity -killing #anthropocentric system. I recommend the books of Robin Wall Kimmerer, especially her new one coming in Nov: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Serviceberry/Robin-Wall-Kimmerer/9781668072240
#Microscopic for #SciArtSeptember insights in my #BiodiversityShrines project. I had a real exhibition, still online with photos here: https://www.cronenburg.net/reliquaires/ In calmer times, I want to make more ... the material is waiting. But I need a lot of inner peace and patience for this kind of work. @embroidery @fiberarts @fibrearts
My occasional invitation to anyone who might like to sign up to my newsletter on my artworks about networks: https://shanefinan.org/newsletter.html
It's where I structure a lot of thoughts. I send one every 3 months or so, and they're a little bit like blog posts. The most recent one is also at that link, for a taster.
I was delighted to have the chance to review @ferrisjabr ’s book #BecomingEarth for @newscientist The book is an important read for anyone interested in the #ClimateEmergency and #biodiversity, as well as being very interesting for any #artists and #philosophers out there dealing with topics of the #moreThanHuman

A friend of mine, @larakothe, wrote a wonderful text on "the significance of moss in our lives and the interconnection between humans and more-than-human entities". If you are into moss, you would definitely enjoy this essay.
