I’m sad to hear the news that the wonderful Jane Goodall is no longer in the world. Her work with chimpanzees at Gombe in Tanzania taught us to look at other apes - and ourselves - differently. I was privileged to meet her later in life and tell her what an inspiration she was to me.

New article from @stefcraps.com!

Ecological apologies: reckoning with grief, guilt, and multispecies justice.

doi.org/10.1080/0964...
ABSTRACT Focusing on British artist Marcus Coates’s Apology to the Great Auk, a short film documenting an official apology to an extinct bird, this article explores the possibility and desirability of political apologies for anthropogenic species extinction. While the apology presented in the film fails to meet key criteria, it nonetheless offers something of political value. Coates’s work constitutes an audacious and innovative attempt to leverage ecological grief and guilt to counteract dominant discourses that devalue more-than-human life; to redraw the boundaries of the moral, legal, and political community; and to imagine a future of multispecies flourishing. By interpreting Apology to the Great Auk through the lenses of environmental transitional justice, bad environmentalism, and ecological prefiguration, the article demonstrates its potential as an artistic project, and the potential of ecological apologies more generally, to help us think and work towards care, justice, and moral repair beyond the human.

Cover of Concrete Colonialism: Architecture, Urbanism, and the US Imperial Project in the Philippines by Diana Jean S. Martinez. The design is minimalist with a black background that covers about 80% of the space. In the top-right corner, there is a fragment of a black-and-white image resembling a torn document or film negative, showing a neoclassical building and handwritten notes.

Inspiration was an elem principal and local historian who who pointed out that our neighborhood isn't on any tour of Kent history. Let's fix this, they said. So I started brainstorming how I could help and 350 houses and 400 LEDs later, this is what I came up with. I also just like making big maps.
