   I am loving this book. It's ostensibly about #indigenous science #pollution #plastic and #colonialism but it's also about extractive reading and nuance in all things. It's fantastic, and I recommend it to everyone. #PollutionIsColonialism #bookstodon https://www.dukeupress.edu/pollution-is-colonialism

     @ephemeral *high five* I'm trying to explain the concept of extractive reading to friends, and the best I can do is something inelegant like the opposite of "whole is greater than the sum of parts".

     @dnkboston one of the best books I've ever read. I reference it all the time.

     @clacke Liboiron may have coined the term, but they're pulling on a bunch of other people as they discuss it, particulary Eve Tuck and Wayne Yang. Tuck wrote a twitter threat in 2017 that might help (but I can't access it) https://twitter.com/tuckeve/status/917068205667110912
