Just another Wind-Up Doll

These photos were captured by my friend Jeff Wirth! He’s a phenomenal wildlife tracker with a love for Mountain Lions, he went out specifically searching for the rarely seen—and documented by photographs only once before—sign of a Mountain Lion predating on a Mountain Goat. After he found the carcass he returned with his dslr camera traps and was able to get this mom and kittens returning to the killsite.

Jeff is now doing incredibly important work down in the borderlands of Arizona, documenting the lions and other species in the area and how they’re impacted by the border wall that’s being installed, and advocating both for the wild world and the people who are suffering from it.

It’s a community funded project; his only source of income while spending all day, every day in the field is from Patreon and donations.

putting that guy in prison wouldn't have done anything for me or even for anyone else. rape doesn't stop because we put every rapist in a cage, because a rapist isn't a kind of person. and because everybody can rape and everyone might rape. rape also doesn't happen because of opportunity (not necessarily). it's like, rape happens because it is part of the processes that reconstruct the world we find ourselves in. rape is a force (one of many) that drives gender and racial subordination, which are needed for capitalism to work. rape happens because it has to.

black men and women are raped to reinforce racial hierarchies, women are raped to reinforce their subordination to men and to reconstruct the nuclear family, trans women are raped to dehumanize us. rape is a deterrent and rape is productive. we're raped because we are a threat.
