✍️ Aniki, the Portuguese Journal of the Moving Image, has opened a call for articles to be included in the dossier “The Natural World in the Cinema”.

The dossier “aims to map the relationship between cinema and what we call ‘the natural world’, recognizing the human as a mediating element of this articulation”.

Man is an exception, whatever else he is. If he is not the image of God, then he is a disease of the dust. If it is not true that a divine being fell, then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head.

Can care seriously about non-human beings?

Maybe, but if "animals are still eaten [for human pleasure] & can still be killed in order to safeguard the balance of an ecosystem" then is exposed as yet more

Wondering what and folx make of on Netflix. It's pretty on the nose but would be an interesting teaching text.

Believing ourselves separate,

We draw fading zippers across the sky.

The zippers

somehow, thought to pull us together,

Serve instead to

Tear us asunder

And distract us from the truth that

Nothing is forever.

A lot of vegan social media posts are of junk food. If you say so, a pile-on ensures you're rapidly 'educated' that veganism is for the animals; it's not about health. Apparently, humans aren't animals these days, and diabetes, heart disease, and cancer are not suffering.

Why is a & policy person spending so much time talking about and ?

I apply decades of experience in technology and technology law to other domains.

Hardest part for many is recognising the difference between hardware and software.

They'be been told Racism is about phenotypes, but it is actually entirely about software (Social Sciences) and not hardware (Biology).

I consider , , and to be malware.

Linear thinking humans build straight edged channels to try to restrain the river that wants to be crooked.

Humans only want the river to flow to the ocean as quickly as possible. The river wants to meander and live.

Did you know: The idea of a hierarchical "alpha wolf" power structure is a human construct.

Packs are just families, and the "alpha pair" are the parents.

They say kangaroo populations are overabundant. Often untrue. Where true, people & economic development increase numbers by isolating them, e.g., roads thru habitat. Then people claim they're 'a danger to motorists'!

Environmentalism is protecting and defending the natural world, not supporting dodgy politicians, good paying jobs, environmental justice (for humans), clean water, food and air (for humans).

It's the last day of the year (in one particular type of human time)!

There's much more to this planet and universe than US.

If we care about the only because "it looks nice" or we need ecosystem services, we're trapped in .

If we care about ecosystems but not human & non-human sentients - that can lead to very dark places.
