#IndigenousGeography could change how we relate to the #Earth

"#Geography can be maps. But it can also be something deeply personal, like how we interact with space."

"#ClimateChange is a world-ending problem: #Flooding, #fires, #hurricanes, and #heat are threatening life and land, and could render parts of the planet #uninhabitable. But when #NiiyokamigaabawDeondreSmiles gives their students advice on what to do about it, one of the things they recommend is to simply go for a #walk. Smiles is an assistant professor of geography at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, and a leader in the field of Indigenous geography.

"They are a citizen of the #LeechLakeBand of #Ojibewe, and they research how #IndigenousPeople have cultivated relationships with the land that are #ceremonial, historic — and ever #evolving, including in the wake of climate change.

"As #colonial governments engage with #traditional #ecological knowledge more seriously, Smiles’ work is a timely reminder of how seemingly small changes to your routine can have a big impact on your point of view. Indigenous geography offers a stark contrast to a worldview based on #extraction and #exploitation.

"Many societies have cataloged the world around them to make maps and meaning out of the land, but colonial ways of contextualizing the world have also often utilized geography as a way to divide and sequester land from Indigenous peoples."

“Are you fucking serious?” one banker asked me, before trying to shoulder his way past us again. When he realized that we were, in fact, serious, he left to try and find another way into work.

Scientists Sound the Alarm: COVID-19 Virus Is Rapidly Evolving in White-Tailed Deer
New research has found that white-tailed deer across Ohio have been infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. Alarmingly, the results also show that viral variants evolve about three times faster in deer than in humans.

Be an #ally and start #evolving flippers and blow holes.

@blacklight looks like #SocialMedia is #Evolving…. Adapt or #Extinct #Twitter + #Musk #Ego = total ongoing spiralling failure….

"#immortality of the #machine blah blah blah my #dna is an unbroken line stretching back billions of years. every sidewalk has mites crawling across it and weeds cracking through it, every grand #ocean liner has barnacles and algae growing on its hull.

A single #organism is vulnerable, yes, but #life itself is practically unstoppable. It has been adapting and #evolving and processing for longer than any machine will ever last. It will consume and corrode and destroy until there is nothing left but life and stone once more."

#Sauropods are the most awe-inspiring of #dinosaurs, #evolving into the largest land #animals of all time. One of the most important #fossils for understanding #sauropod origins comes from Lake #Kariba on the #Zimbabwe/#Zambia border (the #bones come from the Zimbabwe side of the lake). The early sauropod found there was named Vulcanodon karibaenesis and it's a rare window into the early #Jurassic world of the oldest sauropods.

Despite expectations, this research found that mass #extinctions could not be used to generate #predictive #models for other #biodiversity crises, with no common cause flagged. This is because marine communities are constantly #evolving and no two mass #extinctions are impacting the same #marine #ecosystem.
