Excerpts from pages whose corners I folded over in Isabelle Fremeaux and Jay Jordan’s We Are ‘Nature’ Defending Itself

p.6 Art historian and biopolitics scholar Josephine Berry writes in conversation of art as “a conspiracy of reason.” To take art seriously is to suggest that humans can, via emotion or intellect, move toward the right path. That art is a “conspiracy of reason” means that art’s affective powers can so overwhelm consciousness that the speculative ideas and practices of art become widespread social practices, assumptions, and accepted facts of how life is lived. 

p.13 As for our bodies, the pandemic reminded us that the I is never a constant, but as biologist Lynn Margulis tells us, “a fine environment for bacteria, fungi, roundworms, mites and others which live in and on us.” Life is a squirming, swarming, transforming collective of bodies nested within bodies. “There is only one immutable truth,” writes biologist and philosopher Andreas Weber, “no being is purely individual; nothing comprises only itself. Everything is composed of foreign cells, foreign symbionts, foreign thoughts. This makes each life form less like a warrior and more like a tiny universe, tumbling extravagantly through life.” We now know that more than half of our body is not human. One in five of all our genes originated as a virus infiltrating itself into our DNA. The total entangled interdependence of life became more tangible as the image of the novel coronavirus burned itself into our imaginations and became an icon of this epoch that marks the end of a world...and the intake of breath before something else.

p.17 Some biologists call humans “the future eaters.” But to blame ‘humans’ is to let the real culprits off the hook: only 20% of humanity consumes 80% of the world’s resources.

p.23 We weren’t protesting, we weren’t begging, we were taking life back into our collective hands, unmediated, material, now. Often, those that govern are flattered that there are protests, that people make demands on them: it legitimizes their power. “Protest is begging the powers-that-be to dig a well” wrote our late friend, the radical anthropologist David Graeber. “Direct Action is digging the well and daring them to stop you.” It is what he called “acting as if you were already free.”

p.41 Embedded in the concrete, steel, tarmac, powerlines, and fiber optics, capitalism’s ideology molds and controls all aspects of life, convincing us that there is nothing else. No other form of life, no other possibilities than this. And this is the materialized high point of progress. Development, efficiency, and productivity become the only possible goal of our species. Relationships are captured and commodified. We are split from our food sources, from our soil, from our plants, from our weather and water. The many worlds and beings that sustain our life become alien. We float, without body or territory, detached from everything in a dysfunctional co-dependent relationship with the economy. As philosopher farmer Wendell Berry sums up: “Educated minds, in the modern era, are unlikely to know anything about food and drink, clothing and shelter. In merely taking these things for granted, the modern educated mind reveals itself to be as superstitious a mind as ever has existed in the world. What could be more superstitious than the idea that money can bring forth food?”

pp.65-66 When you no longer outsource problems and needs, everyday life goes from relying on coded and unthought ‘automatic’ behavior that only facilitates the extractive world, to being a generative process of tact and techniques. Folded back into life, art becomes a process of attending to the specific details of living, it becomes about caring and nourishing the relationships that make up the everyday.

We need “a technique of life, an art of living. We have to create ourselves as a work of art,” claimed philosopher-activist Michel Foucault. “Rather than something specialized or done by experts, couldn’t everyone’s life become a work of art?” he asked. “Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not our life?” Of course this question had been asked many times before Foucault, from Dada to Surrealists, through Bauhaus to the Constructivists. Even at the dawn of the invention of Art-as-we-know-it in the mid 1700s, Mary Wollstonecraft, early advocate of women’s rights and mother of Mary Shelley, wrote a forceful critique of the new moves toward contemplative disinterested aesthetics that separated taste from the particular interests in life and everyday sensual pleasures.

p.75 A popular conception of magic, from Harry Potter to World of Warcraft, is that it involves a supernatural force that can only be directed by gifted people twirling magic wands to levitate bodies or shoot fireballs. But magic is far from this Newtonian mechanical conception. The best magic, and the same is true for art and activism, assumes that attention is an organizing principle of reality, it is an instrument of imagination. And as our friend and teacher Starhawk noted, this craft should never be monopolized by experts: “Everyone can do the life-changing, world-renewing work of magic, the art of changing consciousness at will.” Being able to use the instrument of magic is simply recognizing and training the power of imagination, to create reality, rather than escape it.

p.89 After the 2014 antiairport riots in Nantes, some municipal workers from the city admitted to not putting too much mortar in-between the cobblestones they were setting...“just in case!”

p.91 As David Graeber so brilliantly demonstrated, the rulers don’t actually mind the occasional protest or expressions of rage against them; what infuriates them is if any significant number of people begin to say “You lot are ridiculous and unnecessary, we can run our lives without you.”

p.104 The first felling of trees for timber in 2014 gave rise to serious ethical conflicts as some inhabitants of the zad were adamant that the forest should be “respected” and therefore kept untouched. But for many involved in what would become Abrakadabois, this view of a nature so pure it should remain unstained by human intervention, separated and museumified, is only the flip side of the modern coin that sees it solely as a resource to exploit. Idolization and exploitation are rooted in the same notion of a neat, deep separation between humans and their ‘environment.’ But ‘we’ are in and with and of ‘nature.’ Our greatest challenge is to learn to collaborate and participate with the living, rather than dominate it.

p.134 Perhaps we can end with a shared “no,” a little ritual of banishment, inspired by author, mother, expert in moss, biologist, decorated professor, and enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Robin Wall Kimmerer. She reminds us that language is a tool for cultural transformation, that words have power to shape our thoughts and our actions, and every revolution needs new grammars. The problem is that the English language allows no form of respect for our fellow more-than-human beings. In English, a being is either a human or an “it,” an object. “We put a barrier between us, absolving ourselves of moral responsibility and opening the door to exploitation,” she writes. “Saying ‘it’ makes a living land into ‘natural resources.’ Imagine describing our grandma as ‘it’,” she asks us. To defend lands that we fall in love with and to enable us to realize that the land loves us back, we need new revolutionary pronouns that refer to the more-than-human not as things, but as our earthly relatives.

trauma writing in mha doeznt work

i uzed to be a huge fan of mha. it waz one of the firzt anime and manga i got really into and haz characterz i ztill love. but there zomething about it thatz been a problem for a long time. and thatz how it treatz abuze

horikoshi (and the fandom) haz thiz little writing problem i like to call 'bad thingz are bad (unlezz they happen to katsuki bakugo)'

when todoroki getz hit and yelled by hiz parentz, itz framed az incredibly tragic and horrific and the art reflectz thiz

thiz iz a hurt and zcared child, we're zuppozed to feel bad thiz happened

when katsuki getz hit and yelled at by hiz parentz?

itz framed az comedic

thiz iz a 16 year old being yelled at hiz mother for being kidnapped. thiz iz a ZIXTEEN YEAR OLD being blamed for GETTING KIDNAPPED

but the art and framing are telling me i zhould be finding thiz funny?? im zorry are we having fucked up parentz be dark comedy or actually zeriouz?

or, hey. another example. zportz feztival. when ojiro zayz he wantz to drop out of the zportz feztival becauze he doeznt feel he earned hiz victory?

that choice iz rezpected. he getz to drop out with no problemz

when katsuki zayz he doeznt feel he earned the 1zt place in the sports festival and doeznt want the medal?

he getz drugged, chained and muzzled to a ztone podium on live fucking televizion. and when Mizter Number One Bezt hero all might comez up? he forcez the medal into hiz mouth with only the comment 'well thiz iz a bit much'

zeriouzly, think about thiz. thiz iz a bunch of 'heroz' doing thiz to a, again, 16 year old becauze he. wanted a fair fight? becauze he dared to tell them no?

hell, the only people in-univerze to even comment on thiz are the league of villainz when they, az mentioned before, kidnap him.

and not only doez thiz cheapen the effect of the todoroki family ztoryline (even before we got to the current ztory) it alzo deztroyz any zympathy i have for 99% of the cazt.

when midnight died i waznt thinking 'oh no thatz zo zad they juzt lozt a great hero and teacher' i waz thinking about how she drugged a teenager for zaying no.

when aizawa talkz about how he carez about hiz ztudentz im thinking hez a fucking liar becauze he waz there for both the bakugo home vizit and the sports festival and he didnt do jack zhit to help katsuki. who iz his ztudent.

when there waz that wierd fucking arc about aoyama ztalking deku or whatever and it getz framed az creepy, im not zympathizng for deku becauze hez literally introduced az writing all hiz obzervationz about hiz clazzmatez (including bakugo) down in hiz notebookz. which iz alzo fucking creepy. zo im juzt thinking hez a fucking hypocrite getting a tazte of hiz own medicine

when all might getz praized for anything i juzt think he doeznt dezerve it becauze he waz alzo there for both the sports festival and the home vizit (and unlike aizawa he doeznt even have the excuze of being in a full body cazt for the feztival. and itz not even the firzt time he waz around katsuki in a horrible zituation

thiz zeem a bit familiar to anyone? maybe? maybe zomething that happened in the very beginning of the ztory?

yeah. and all might walked away from that too

a bnha zerver i uzed to be in a did a count of how many adultz katsuki had no bad interactionz with and it waz like. 5. of the whole cazt.

thzi iz a 16 year old, thiz iz a kid, who iz routinely treated horribly by the adultz around him and nearly every time itz framed like itz funny. like im zuppozed to be finding a kid being hit, yelled at, chained, muzzled and ignored comedic.

and maybe it could have worked. dark comedy iz a thing having fucked up family or zchool dynamicz being played for laughz can work.

but then when thiz kind of ztuff happenz to any one elze itz meant to be zeen az traumatizing and horrible and like i zhould feel bad. and you cant treat child abuze az actual abuze for zome characterz, but comedy for otherz, becauze it fuckz with the effect of both

#thiz kid dezervez zo much fucking better man. can we pleaze get him zome people who actually care about hiz well being #literally the villainz acknowledge him being treated bad more than the heroez #i havent been into bnha in agez and im ztill pizzed about thiz
