Open Humanities Press has published a 2nd edition of Timothy Morton's Realist Magic: Objects, Ontology, Causality. Comes complete with a new preface by Morton.

Like all OHP books, Realist Magic is available open access:

https://www.openhumanitiespress.org/books/titles/realist-magic-2nd-ed/

Book description

#ObjectOriented ontology offers a startlingly fresh way to think about causality that takes into account developments in #physics since 1900. Causality, argues Object Oriented Ontology (OOO), is #aesthetic. In this book, Timothy Morton explores what it means to say that a thing has come into being, that it is persisting, and that it has ended. Drawing from examples in #physics, #biology, #ecology, #art, #literature and #music, Morton demonstrates the counterintuitive yet elegant explanatory power of OOO for thinking causality.

‘Reduce, reuse, recycle’ is corporate gaslighting – the real change must come from the fossil fuel industry

Recycling and cutting personal waste isn't enough. Polluters must be regulated, and reparations paid by companies that have harmed the environment

Diuris sulphurea (tiger or hornet orchid) near the Wonboyn River, NSW. This widespread species is often the last yellow Diuris flowering in East Gippsland (into January at some locations) but I only came across this one plant out on my last quick trip across the border - and that was still in NSW! The lack of spring rain might have cut short the flowering season in some places this year.

Nice pink variation in this year's Corunna backdoor sun orchids (Thelymitra sp. - T.peniculata and/or T. pauciflora).

Quite a bit of variation in flowers (colours and structures) and leaf size in this small population next to the house. All of the plants are fairly shy to flower with only one or two buds opening for an hour or so on some warm / humid days.
