Not so well lately but on the improve. Hope lies in animal kin, being part of a community of beings, staying within ecological limits. Shout out to great Centring Animals conference 5-7 Nov, Toowoomba: animalstudies.org.au/aasa2025-cen.... Here's how I'm keeping for now, laying low, recovering...

Been off to other places for a while. Checking out your posts to see what you've been doing. Loved not using computer for past weeks, love the genuine human animal life unmediated by the tech interface and all its beseeching demands. The world is more vibrant, real and liberating without it.

Happy Earth Month! Sending hope to all the animals, plants, lands, waters, forests, mountains, rivers, seas, rocks, sky, soils, and more for a flourishing future. #Earth #MultispeciesJustice

🐝 A love for life shows in the smallest moments. Stopping to watch a bee at work. Letting a spider live in the corner. Planting flowers for butterflies you may never meet. Kindness to nature is kindness to yourself. #MoreThanHuman #Biophilia #SmallActsBigImpact

🦉 Coexistence is not a compromise—it’s a collaboration. When we make space for wildlife, they, in turn, shape the world in ways that benefit us all. Forests grow richer, rivers run clearer, and the clean air hums with life. What we protect, protects us. 💚 #Coexistence #Interconnected

🌿 Biophilia is a love story. A love story between you and the rustling trees. Between your senses and the flowers that bloom. Between your heartbeat and the rhythm of the tides. We are not separate from nature—we belong to it, we are within it and it is within us. 💚 #Biophilia #Interconnected

A bill was introduced to the Australian parliament this week that intends to let the government off the hook for approving certain activities that harm the environment. And this is their idea of environmental law reform? Definitely NOT multispecies justice. theconversation.com/protecting-s...

First the bees are gone. Then the fish. Followed by the trees. Then the creatures we always thought would be there. And the clean water and air. Then the stories fade. And with it, our sense of meaning, our connections. Justice for more-than-human life means justice for culture, too. #Multispecies

What skullsluggery is this? Came across this feasting party on a walk one day. #SlugLife #Slugs #SlugsJustWannaHaveFun #TinyLife

'Swans, quite obliviously, sent Yeats into despair. And that is one of the very many magical things about people thinking about animals. Pick one – some will speak to you, others not, and you will know instantly – and it acts like a key or a guide.' www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The city is full of life. Pigeons, foxes, moths, and ants. They share our streets and skies. Multispecies justice asks: What kind of neighbors are we? #MultispeciesJustice #Synanthropes #Coexistence

Nature doesn’t build walls—it makes doorways. #NatureWisdom #Belonging

Simple, sacred moments we all can share: ✨ Pausing to listen to the birdsong. ✨ Reading a Nature story to a child. ✨ Having gratitude for the fruits, nuts, seeds, & vegetables Nature so generously provides. ✨ Remembering that you too are part of Nature. Small moments. Deep connections.

What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare? ~ W.H. Davies (1871-1940) #SlowLiving #Care #Attentiveness

It starts small, matters big ...and you end up feeling that sense of being a part of and a guardian of the web of Life. Being human is a gift that way - you have awareness of the tapestry of Life.

Not only is fish farming unhealthy for farmed fish, it also threatens the marine life surrounding it. In Tasmania, this threatens the Maugean skate. And compounding this wrong, the government also wants to gag environmental groups that point this out... www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

When you let the wildflowers grow, you offer justice to the bees. When you slow down for a crossing turtle, you offer justice to the ancient rhythms of the land. When you choose plant-based, you offer justice to those whose lives would have ended for your plate. It starts small—but matters big.

We have the power to shape different conditions. To shift patterns. To stop pretending we are separate from the story of the earth and all who share it. It’s not easy. It’s not convenient. But it’s possible. And it matters. #MultispeciesJustice #DaretoCare #Interconnected

In a world where convenience is king, living intentionally is often seen as inconvenient. But living with thought for others is the truest expression of care—for the earth, for animals, for a future where all can thrive.

The world isn’t made up of separate parts. It’s a living web of relationships—species, ecosystems, people—all shaping one another. When we start to understand those connections, we can act more wisely, more gently.

The problems we face aren’t just "out there," beyond our control. They often arise from the ways we interact with the world. From the systems we participate in, the choices we make, the things we normalize without thinking. But it also means we can change it by being more aware - #Daretocare.

"If a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory." ~ Donella Meadows When we fixate on business-as-usual, we miss the alternatives to create a more sustainable and just world for all species.

“Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.” ~ George Eliot (Well... except for cats. Rightfully, they're judging you...)

Either George our super donkey is getting faster or I am getting slower

Dolphins name each other, elephants grieve, and birds sing complex dialects. Communication isn’t limited to words; it’s woven into nature. #AnimalLanguage #MultispeciesJustice #Sentience

"We must shift from a paradigm of exploitation to one of stewardship." ~ Johan Rockström

Animals are my friends ... and I don't eat my friends. ~ George Bernard Shaw

Healing the planet includes healing ourselves. Slowing down, reconnecting, and letting go of stress are acts of care for yourself and for for all life. We all know time spent in nature is good for us. It's also good for nature because we become attentive. #SlowLiving #SelfCare #HealingNature

Nature's poetry...

Nature’s brilliance—every color, every pattern speaks to someone, somewhere. In our intertwined world where beauty has many beholders, every hue has a purpose—to attract, warn, or simply to dazzle. In nature, beauty isn’t just for show; it’s a language all its own. 🌿✨ #AnimalCommunications

If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere. ~ Vincent Van Gogh #nature #beauty

“When the whole world is running towards a cliff, he who is running in the opposite direction appears to have lost his mind.” ― C. S. Lewis It is not wrong to run from the cliff of consumerism, greed, habitat destruction. #Caring for the #environment & each other is essential, right and needed.

“Why did I feel I was owed a stable wilderness, a certain snapshot of the earth?” Colonial erasure of time has given us a false sense of security, an inability to cope with Earth's constant changes. A beautiful piece, worth a read when you have a moment. emergencemagazine.org/essay/the-fa...

In a world where everything now has a price tag, nature's spaces threaten those who profit off our exhaustion, our stress, and our disconnection. National parks don’t just protect nature. They protect us, restore us, reconnect us. #ParksMatter #WellBeing #Nature

Enoughness, multispecies justice, and ecological well-being are deeply connected—because enough for humans should also mean enough for other species, rather than taking more than our share. #MultispeciesJustice #Thoughtful #CareForPlanet

Social justice doesn’t stop at human borders. If you believe in social justice, you also believe it's time to extend justice to all sentient beings. 🌍🐾 🐖🐓🐄 #MultispeciesJustice www.counterpunch.org/2025/02/27/i...

🌳 What if we stopped thinking of land, water, and animals as resources to own—and instead as relationships to honor? #MultispeciesJustice #Interconnected

Whales sing after they've had a good meal. This research shows listening to whales is much more than a rich sensory experience. It’s a window into their lives, their vulnerability, and their resilience. #MultispeciesJustice #Whales #Ocean theconversation.com/whales-sing-...

🛠 #Kindness isn’t passive; it’s a form of resistance. In a world that prioritizes profit over care, every act of compassion is a step toward a different future. #Interconnected #Compassionate

Birds do not own the sky. Rivers do not hoard their water. So why do we believe we must always gather more—to be safe, to be worthy? All life is precious. Recognizing that is the greatest gift we will ever have. #Enoughness #MultispeciesJustice #Interconnection

🦜 Sentient-centric thinking asks: What does this life experience? What does this being need? Instead of “What use does it have for me?” #Sentience #MultispeciesJustice #AnimalCentric #Care

We’re taught that happiness is something to ‘get’—from things, promotions, or achievements. We're taught to do, do, do instead of be, be, be. Nature teaches us that true peace doesn’t come from seeking more, but from embracing what already is. #ReconnectWithNature #Enoughness #JustBe
