i dont trust anyone whos hostile towards city pigeons one bit & im being very serious about it

everyone be nice to the living things we share this world with Now. yes this includes bugs and plants that annoy you. no this does not mean you cant hurt anything ever. but it does mean don’t be cruel about it and don’t say mean things about them.

i really like the framing of living things being our relatives. i like framing us as having relationships with them. with mosquitos. with plants we tend to. with the land we can burn. i want to move in the world in a way that helps every living thing thrive. when i collect seeds i leave some, i take some, and i grab some to disperse nearby. i try to avoid walking on plants that do not tolerate disturbance as well. i pick up litter. i disturb the invasive plants to allow the native plants to grow in a little thicker. i swipe at mosquitos that have landed on me cause that is the relationship we are in. they are beautiful and special and important but i will play my role as Monkey That Does Not Want To Be Bit lol

very often i run into people who insist they love nature and its majesty and its beauty but the way they talk about it is so foreign to how i think and feel about the earth. they own the land. they travel to spectate. they anthropomorphize animals instead of being curious about how they actually live and feel. they speak with disdain about plants and animals that are inconvenient or unpleasant to them. it hurts to see.

I genuinely love when a story makes up its own fable and then has current events within the story explicitly parallel the in-universe fable. The story I made up is just like the story I made up 🤯

i remember you from my past lives. yeah. terrible lay. also a really boring kill. every single time we met even. wanna find out if the pattern holds
