--empyre- soft-skinned space--Hello all,

Thank you William and Joline for your recent posts. To add to the
conceptions of kinship articulated here, and that perhaps come to us most
familiarly from Haraway, I'd love to share Kim TallBear's work on queer
kinship. TallBear conceives of queer kinship as a kind of solidarity for
non-indigenous work in the struggle for decolonization. A partial network,
perhaps; one that acknowledges efforts and connections, but that also keeps
indigenous identity squarely with folks who live and struggle within an
indigenous context -- often on reservations, and whose relations have
endured the brutal legacy of colonization.

This interview is a great listen:

--empyre- soft-skinned space--Hello Empyre,

I just wanted to pick up on Margaretha's mention ofpermaculture, which I see as 
relating to the conceptof sustainability and, as Randall commented in 
relationto that, to regenerativity. I read the link Joline sentand feel like 
the work with kin is very importantin view of the disasters reated to failure 
to pay moreattention to caring for environmental issues. Perhapsthe threat of 
mass extinction of insects has alreadybeen mentioned--anyway I'd like to note 
its presencein the recent press. It has much to do, as Joline notes, with 
/inability to recover diversity/ as Deborah BirdRose writes of it in /double 
(multiple) death/ terms.Below also is a link from a 2005 artice in 
NationalGeographic dealing with insect extinction. Otherscholarly articles also 
came up in searches by thisnonexpert Best wishes to all, William (link >>>
