----------empyre- soft-skinned space---------------------- I'm hoping this doesn't fankle the threading, as I'm not getting my own posts to reply to. I will eventually get to the discussion about cyborgs and Goddesses, but first I'd like to ramble a little more about the foregoing ruderal witchcraft thread, mainly to express my joy at the work that you are all doing. I've been fascinated by Oliver's work since I first heard him talk about it in Oregon in 2013, and as I've been wandering about on my own research journeys since I've been delighted to discover we're caught up in the same cat's cradle as Margaretha and Beverly Naidus, as well as other research friends like Michelle Bastian at the University of Edinburgh who I just had to email about WhiteFeather's exploration of lichenological time. WhiteFeather, I found myself reacting with visceral horror when you described the Norwegian government's policy of waterblasting as I so quickly became invested in their tenacious lifespans. I also found the comparison between your artistic poetic inoculation and the "industrial scale bioremediation" that usurped it very striking. I'm thinking of Rob Nixon's work on slow violence and wondering about different paces of harm and remediation.
