Donna Haraway, ‘Anthropocene, Capitalocene, Plantationocene, Chthulucene:…

- - - - ‘The spread of seed-dispersing plants millions of years before human agriculture was a planet-changing development, and so were many other revolutionary evolutionary ecological developmental historical events.’
        
        This makes me think of biodiversity and the process of natural regeneration, and how flora/fauna adapt to a new ecosystem
        
        It is not only humans who have terraforming agency
- - - - the point in which nature cannot bounce back
- - - - ‘Perhaps the outrage meriting a name like Anthropocene is about the destruction of places and times of refuge for people and other critters’
      - I think our job is to make the Anthropocene as short/thin as possible and to
        cultivate with each other in every way imaginable epochs to come that can replenish refuge.
        
        How does this way of thinking about the anthropocene - as not a kind of permanent damage but a boundary/opening into a new world change things for you?
- - - - Humans ar etrees; human are animals
  - - - sense of being beyond birth and genealogy
        
        Queer ecology
      - ‘I think that the stretch and recomposition of kin are allowed by the fact that all earthlings are kin in the deepest sense, and it is past time to practice better care of kinds-as-assemblages (not species one at a time). Kin is an assembling sort of word. All critters share a common “flesh,” laterally, semiotically, and genealogically. Ancestors turn out to be very interesting strangers; kin are unfamiliar (outside what we thought was family or gens), uncanny, haunting, active’
      - Idea of making connections on the planet is more important than producing offspring in the long run?
        
        Is she anti-babies
        
        Not completely?
        
        She explains that connections require hard work but unfortunately that is not the case in a lot of instances where consent is absent
        
        Making the most of what we have got - we need to try and connect rather than not to distant from eachother
