Arches national park, a full moon shines through the opening of red rock like the iris of an eye.
Mother Earth is watching. Don't be complicit.

Anyone realize the way the future is often portrayed as western by default, and no western ideas, designs and concepts are often seen as historical or traditional in nature?
We, Homo sapiens, boast of ourselves, our civilizations, our art, architecture, technology, and such accomplishments, all the while oblivious to our feet on the neck of the living world.
Fight climate change.

2. A crafted good; a blessing not divined but designed.
Zoos are fundamentally carnist institutions of animal incarceration, confinement and exploitation. A zoo may “take good care” of the animals it holds captive, or try to be “more ethical” in its operations, but it still exists for purposes diametrically opposed to animal liberation.
The zoo as an architectural project is carnistic. The vegan alternative to this would be nature observatories in nature preserves or parks, where animals are free to exist in their native habitats, on their own terms, and not imprisoned or controlled for human viewing.
Guess who sent them people door to door. I’m still not convinced any of the two parties actually cares about ecology, green urbanism, sustainability, animal rights, or queer equality in Jamaica. Maybe this one cares more about the poor than the green one, but I’m yet to see proof they are different.
It’s not available in Jamaica :(
Nothing sadder than a puppet who thinks he’s better than other puppets just because he looks real.
Our role in the ecosystem cannot and should not be a fixed unchanging thing when our population, technology and ability to transform our environment and the habitats of our fellow earthlings has changed so much.
Veganism calls for more animal centric view of the environment, one where animals exist not for us but along side us, where their needs and desires are considered.
Also there are creatures that exist in ecosystems that don’t kill other animals for food, i.e. herbivores, many insects, etc. Human beings can still be a part of the ecosystem, and still be food for creatures after we die, without causing suffering to sentient creatures.
Veganism isn’t saying no interference in the ecosystem tho… it calls for more animal centric view of the environment, one where animals exist not for us but along side us, where their needs and desires are considered.
The ecosystem was not made to support 8 billion humans. Human population in a more “natural” setting was much less than a billion. No ecosystem is sustainable with a population of predators that outweighs that ecosystems ability to sustain prey populations. This is literally why factory farms exist.
This is just a repackaged version of the carnist justification “meat is necessary”. To say killing animals for food is unnecessary and harmful doesn’t mean opposition to indigenous foodways in entirety. It’s not racist to recognize that culture is not a justification for harm or cruelty.
It’s so much better for everyone when we focus on cultivating safe and feminist communities on a foundation of inclusion rather than exclusion.
This is a @ramsarconv.bsky.social Site - a Wetland of International Importance. Now being cleared for a parking lot. It adjoins a colonial era fort, which appears to have also been damaged in the process.

No surprises here.
Unfortunately the client hired someone to “clear” the land, who even cut down all the trees before we got to tell him not to.

Welcome to the matrix! Trust it’s not as crazy as formerly Twitter.
I’ve created a collective for #vegan #creatives to support each other, #network, share ideas and collaborate. The Vegan Creative Collective @vcc hosts a weekly creative #hangout where we chat, make art together and get to know each other. Learn more or join our collective:

I’ve really been in social media withdrawal. Not even on this app for 2 seconds and already feeling plugged back into the matrix of *insane* news and *awesome* events. Like hello yes I know things 🥹

Art directors stop clinging to Instagram PLEASE the reach over there is so dead. No way any of you are discovering new people on that app
Raising animals just to eat them is insane
