Indigenous cultural practices are a climate solution, report finds

Indigenous lands are crucial for climate mitigation and resilience. Research shows their health is a direct result of Indigenous stewardship

While this isn't news to anyone who works in this space, it is useful to have this water-is-wet research to affirm that Indigenous knowledge and land management are extremely effective at storing carbon and protecting biodiversity.

I want to draw special attention to this part of the article:

New research shows that approach overlooks the key role that Indigenous knowledge and culture can play in mitigating climate change. It also reveals a dangerous misconception that has taken hold in global climate discussions: the idea that Indigenous lands are so rich because they are remote or sparsely populated. Nothing could be further from the truth. The health of Indigenous lands and their ability to store vast quantities of carbon stem from the stewardship of the people who inhabit them.

I'm actually bringing this back around to say another important thing.

I get a fair number of asks and comments on my posts expressing sentiments like "human beings are a plague on this Earth", "humans ruin everything, we deserve to be wiped out", "humanity is inherently selfish, evil, and irredeemable".

I don't think the folks saying these things have bad intentions, I know their words come from a place of very understandable pain, fear, and anger. But to act as though humanity's impact on nature is inherently damaging and extractive is to erase thousands of years of Indigenous stewardship of nature. These ecosystems are thriving because there are humans living there.

This is your regular reminder that you don't need to feel guilty for being a human. You are part of nature--viewing humans as inherently separate from the rest of nature is actually part of the problem. You will be so much better served redirecting that guilt into supporting the humans who are helping nature or resisting those who are hurting it.

when youre aromantic you still get dead wife flashbacks but its just about that really fucking good sandwich you ate last week

[azurepinkgothic]

you’re really aren’t able to fucking exist as a trans guy

if you’re masculine you’re gross and scary and ugly, if you’re feminine you’re confused and viewed as a sex fantasy and if you’re on T and are feminine then you’re just weird, cringy and viewed as an ugly caricature of a trans guy

if you’re straight then you’re a lesbian with extra steps and are tricking women, if you’re gay then you’re straight with extra steps and you’re tricking men

if you’re intersex then you aren’t seen as a trans man, but someone roleplaying as a trans man

if you see the issues we face and speak against them, then you’re a horrible misogynist who is a danger to women

if you don’t see the issues then you’re spoken down to and forced to stomach self hatred and agression
