Let see what's going to run out first: the words to describe the loss of world or the world. More at bit.ly/world-revisited #nature #biodiversity #veganism #animalethics

Did you know that humans have a disproportionately negative effect on the Earth and most of its organisms?

Daniel Carden Nemo@danielnemo· 16d

All our problems start with humans hurting animals, which, to paraphrase @herbivoreclub.bsky.social, has come to be considered so natural that refusing to hurt them is seen as anti-human. More at bit.ly/world-revisited #nature #biodiversity #veganism #animalethics

Can ethical treatment really exist in a system that ends in the killing of the subject after a life of suffering?

"Each animal is surrounded by its own bubble of significance, its own world full of colors and tones we shall never perceive. To enter it is impossible, yet it exists as fully as our own." - Jakob von Uexküll More at bit.ly/world-revisited #nature #biodiversity #veganism #animalethics

Izmir, Three O’Clock

Just ahead on the nearly empty street
two beggars, one of them with no legs,
carried on the other's back.
They stood—as an animal stands
on a midnight road, frozen in the headlights—
for a moment, then went on
crossing the street like schoolboys at play
while the myriad clocks
of the midday heat ticked in space.

We sacrifice what’s real—natural world, sentient animals, our health, our climate—to uphold a contrived paradigm that equates meat with wellness and prosperity. More at bit.ly/world-revisited #nature #veganism #animalethics

Are you aware that industries promoting meat and dairy products have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo, even if it's at odds with scientific, environmental, or ethical insights?

Daniel Carden Nemo@danielnemo· Jul 14

Why look after some but slaughter the others? Continuing to kill and eat animals when there are alternatives isn’t a collective need—it’s an individual choice. See it for what it is. More at bit.ly/world-revisited #nature #biodiversity #veganism #animalethics

Did you know that goats outperform dogs in certain problem-solving tasks involving memory and learning?

"It is a curious thing, that in observing animals closely, one sometimes feels as if they are attending to us with an intelligence parallel to our own, though built on different lines." - Charles Darwin More at bit.ly/world-revisited #nature #biodiversity #veganism #animalethics

Did you know that crows remember human faces for years, teaching their young who to trust and who to fear?

Pentecost of the stones. And with crackling tongues...
The city weightless in the wide sweep of the midday hour.
A burial in seething light. The drum that drowns out
the pounding fists of trapped eternity.

The eagle swirls higher and higher over the sleepers.
Sleep, where the millwheel turns like thunder.
The stomping of a blindfolded horse.
The pounding fists of trapped eternity.

Daniel Carden Nemo@danielnemo· Jul 7

Every time we see a meat ad, it asks us not only to BUY, but to KILL. MEAT is a linguistic shield. Replace it with BODIES. More at bit.ly/world-revisited #nature #veganism #animalethics

$Did you know that most farm animals are slaughtered at a fraction of their natural lifespan, often before reaching social or cognitive maturity?$

Daniel Carden Nemo@danielnemo· Jul 2

We need another concept of animals—they are “gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear” (Henry Beston). More at bit.ly/world-revisited #nature #biodiversity #veganism #animalethics

Did you know that octopuses can use tools, solve puzzles, and express moods through rapid color changes of their skin?

It’s getting dark in Huelva: sooty palm trees
and the train whistle's darting
silver-white bats.

The streets have filled with people.
And the woman rushing through the crowd carefully weighs
the day’s last light on the scales of her eyes.

The probing eye turns sunbeams into police batons.
And in the evening: the clamor from a party downstairs
shoots up through the floor like surreal flowers.

Across the plain. Darkness. The car seemed rooted in place.
An anti-bird shrieked in the starless void.
The albino sun hung above dark lakes hurled onto the plains.

Personal choice ends where another’s suffering begins—if it involves harming others, it’s no longer “personal.” See it for what it is. More at bit.ly/world-revisited #nature #biodiversity #veganism #animalethics

Is it worth asking whether taste or tradition are strong enough justifications for actions that involve large-scale suffering (around 6 billion animals killed every day by the food industry)?

Weather Scene

The October sea glints coldly
with its dorsal fin of mirages.

Nothing remains that remembers
the white dizziness of the regattas.

An amber glow over the village.
And all sounds in slow flight.

A dog's bark is a hieroglyph painted
in the air above the garden

where the yellow fruit outwits
the tree and lets itself fall.

FARM ANIMALS = LIFE. Other lives are for living too. Is it possible we are so desensitized and detached from reality and the natural world that we need to be 𝑡𝑜𝑙𝑑 KILLING is BAD? More at bit.ly/world-revisited #nature #biodiversity #veganism #animalethics

Did you know meat-eaters unwittingly shut down their brains’ automatic response to the pain of animals?

"The essential quality of animals is that they live purely by the great purposiveness of life itself; they have not a double consciousness, as we have. They are at one with the invisible vital law." - DH Lawrence More at bit.ly/world-revisited #nature #biodiversity #veganism #animalethics

Did you know the limbic brain found in mammals is not only the seat of dreams and value judgements, but also the center of emotionality?

The Man Who Woke to Singing Over the Rooftops

Morning, May rain. The city’s still as quiet
as a pasture hamlet. The streets are quiet. And
an airplane engine rumbles blue-green in the sky.—
The window’s open.

The dream in which the sleeper lies outstretched
becomes transparent. He moves, beginning
to grope around for attention’s instruments—
almost in space.

STOP FACTORY FARMING! Until we all learn the true meaning of LIFE and DEATH, innocent animals will continue to be tortured and slaughtered for PROFIT—the sole remaining purpose of meat. More at bit.ly/world-revisited #nature #biodiversity #veganism #animalethics

Did you know that, given their sharp senses and unique sensitivities, some farmed animals may be capable of suffering even more intensely than humans?

A tangle of black spruce
and smokey moonbeams.
Here’s the sunken cottage
and no sign of life.

Until the morning dew murmurs
and an old man opens—
with a shaky hand—
the window and lets out an owl.

And further down,
the new house stands steaming
with the laundry butterfly
flapping at the gable

Did you know scientific studies show animals demonstrate behaviors associated with consciousness, planning, and emotional response?

Did you know “a mammal will risk and sometimes lose its life to protect a child or mate from attack?”

We call it 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙚 𝙨𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙧 because killing out of habit or convenience sounds too honest. Continuing to kill and eat animals is the endorsement of a system built on violence and denial. See it for what it is. More at bit.ly/world-revisited #nature #biodiversity #veganism #animalethics

Did you know “humane” labels are largely unregulated or misleading, and animals are still bred, confined, and ultimately killed long before their natural lifespan?
