#coexistence

A #leopard stands next to a young #gazelle or deer, not hunting, not attacking. When #hyenas approach, it does the unthinkable: grabs the fawn by the neck and climbs a tree, protecting it.

This isn’t fiction. Rare moments like this have been observed in the wild. Sometimes, big cats show what looks like compassion, or confusion. A lost maternal instinct? Curiosity? Or something deeper?

#Nature isn’t always predictable. Predators don’t always kill. Even in the wild, the lines between #instinct, #emotion, and choice can blur in ways we still don’t fully understand.

A reminder: the animal world is full of mystery, and not everything wild is cruel.

It's always weirded me out that humans think of any (other) animals as pests or invaders in our space, since WE are the ones technically invading THEIR space, as they've already been living on the land for so long.

This is a really cool piece about coyotes, urban wildlife, and co-existing together: biographic.com/the-coyote-next

bioGraphic · The Coyote Next DoorWhat urban wildlife can teach us about cognition, survival, and how to be good neighbors.

"Insight into the minds and lives of the #animals that have learned how to live around us could help us learn to be better neighbors to them.

"And accepting peaceful #coexistence as a shared responsibility might even help us be better neighbors to other people as well."

"Chinese and Indigenous communities have shared histories. We faced hardships together while mining for gold in the British Columbia gold rush and experiencing the rugged Canadian weather and terrain.

There are many graves on First Nations territories when Chinese people died from the flu and from the building of the railway, crushed by landslides, collapsing tunnels and premature blastings (Mittelstedt, 2014). The First Nations communities took in the Chinese railroad workers and care for their grave sites to this day (Mittelstedt, 2014). We enjoyed economic success and partnerships that were respectful and mutually beneficial (Ma, 2012). Chinese people leased lands (on First Nations) to farm and then hired Indigenous people to help farm the land (Mathur et al., 2011, p. 74). The Chinese built elaborate gold-mining operations among First Nations communities and perhaps most importantly our communities intermingled and there were many marriages between Chinese men and Indigenous women. In 1891, 98% of Chinese people in Canada lived in British Columbia (Barman, 2013, p. 1), which explains why there are such intimate ties between Chinese people and our First Nations communities in British Columbia. Unsurprisingly, one in six Chinese men created a family with a local Indigenous woman (Barman, 2013, p. 1)."

Happy Birthday, Zamenhof! 🎉💚

Today, we celebrate the 165th birthday of Ludoviko Lazaro Zamenhof, the visionary creator of Esperanto. His goal was to establish a language that would facilitate communication among people from different countries and cultures, thereby contributing to peace and cooperation among nations.

Esperanto is now the most successful planned language in the world, with millions of speakers in over 120 countries. It is utilized on the internet, in social media, and even in some universities and institutions. But Esperanto is not just a language—it's a movement. It represents a community of individuals united by the common goal of promoting peace, unity, cultural richness, understanding, and cooperation among all people. Esperanto is a language of hope, unity, and love.

Zamenhof's vision is more relevant than ever. In an era of increasing globalization and interconnectedness, Esperanto provides an opportunity for people from diverse cultures and countries to communicate and collaborate without language barriers.

Moreover, Esperanto serves as a valuable tool for inclusion and accessibility, thanks to its simplicity and regular structure. It not only eases communication between speakers of different native languages but also supports neurodiverse individuals who may struggle with learning natural languages or navigating irregular writing systems like English orthography. Thus, Esperanto can promote accessibility in education.

What makes Esperanto so special? Its simple, logical grammar and vocabulary derived from the most common European roots make it incredibly easy to learn. Its phonetic spelling features one sound per letter and one letter for every sound, unlike English or French. Beyond its practical benefits, Esperanto embodies the noble ideals of mutual understanding, cultural exchange, and the brotherhood of all people.

In our increasingly interconnected world, Esperanto has found new life on the internet, where online communities and resources allow learners to connect across borders. It is truly a language of the digital age, used for everything from casual conversation to academic discourse.

As we celebrate Zamenhof's 165th birthday, let us embrace his timeless vision of a more harmonious world, where Esperanto serves as a bridge between cultures. By learning this beautiful language, we honor the legacy of its creator and take a meaningful step toward a more peaceful and productive coexistence for all.

Happy birthday, Zamenhof! Your dream lives on. ✨ Thank you for your inexhaustible legacy and the inspiration you have given us all. Let us unite humanity and reach for the stars! ✨

No one should be eating octopus, let alone locking them in farms #sentience

Humans assume they're top of the cognitive ladder, which just shows how limited their thinking is. The hubris is nauseating. #HumansAreCruel #HumansAreSelfish

I'm an omnivore. I hunted and fished out of necessity in Alaska. But every living being must be respected. #FuckManifestDestiny

And our desires, even needs, don't automatically outweigh the rights of other creatures or the planet #coexistence

"Taxpayer-funded wildlife slaughter lets livestock operators and the agriculture industry ignore problems that lead to conflict instead of fixing them. #WildlifeServices should focus on implementing commonsense #coexistence measures like cleaning up livestock carcasses that attract wolves and bears.”

In the last several years, litigation and community opposition curtailed Wildlife Services operations in numerous states
