“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

Happy 2009

I was never one for falling balls or pieces of metal going around on other pieces of metal. I'm a solstice boy. Still, as a dear old friend Nigel Smith said to me today, may all our best aspirations come true this year. I start the year with 1000 lbs of CO2 offset, an essay on queer ecology not quite done, and plans to connect Derrida and Dennett. “Don't join the streams!” (Ghostbusters)—oops.
