#art #history: today, let's celebrate ursula le guin's appearance on this rock ( #otd in 1929).
ursula's words of prescience & compassion always provide a bit of solace when you're feeling despondent. to wit:
'i think hard times are coming, when we will be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, & can see through our fear-stricken society & its obsessive technologies, to other ways of being.'

Heyy kids!

Could you please drop me a quick comment to this form on my web?

Theme is:

Your favorited #solarpunk (primarly), #steampunk #atompunk #dieselpunk whatever #punk works of #visualart #writing #games etc...

I'm being too socio-economically sarcastic about the genre and need references for long winter nights, and possible essay on stuff.

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.

The book is published as part of the New Metaphysics series:

"a new digital platform enabling your favorite independently owned bookstores to sell digital books, granting them a foothold in a marketplace long dominated by Amazon...100% of the profits generated by sales through those brick-and-mortar stores funnel directly back to them. Customers who don’t specify a store to support when purchasing e-books on Bookshop.org support indie shops anyway, since a third of the profit from those sales goes into a profit-sharing pool"
