I learned a new word today. Atom bomb. It was like a white light in the sky. Like God taking a photograph.
“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Ecology without the Present
Yes that's right suckers, the list just keeps growing of what ecology must be without! : ) It's the title of my essay for Oxford Literary Review, the second Anthropocene one, and since my last post I've gone and written all but 1000 words of it. I'm fond of the epigraph:
ecology, philosophy, culture, science
Anthropocene,
essays,
Oxford
