🛐 HEY, GOOD MORNING, BIBLE THUMPER
Good morning, preacher boy. Good morning, pastor's daughter. Good morning, holy roller, hymnal howler, born-again screen-scroller.
Got your coffee? Got your bookmarked Bible verses queued up? Got your "I’m a Child of God" mug warming your trembling hands?
Good.
Let’s talk about that birthright you're so sure of.
🧠 HOW SURE ARE YOU, REALLY?
You swear you’re descended from the good ones. From Noah’s clean, water-washed bloodline. From the ones who didn’t sink, didn’t scream, didn’t claw their nails bloody into the Ark’s walls as the ocean swallowed them without mercy.
You’re certain you're one of the blessed. The chosen. The inherited.
Right?
Right?
Then why does reality keep whispering something different?
Why does your own body flinch at shadows that haven’t moved? Why does the mirror twitch in the corner of your eye late at night, even when you swear you’re standing still?
🩸 Want Proof You're Not Pure?
Simple.
Go to the bathroom. Alone. Turn off the lights. Let it get so dark you can't tell where your skin ends and the air begins.
Then?
Look.
Stare into your own reflection. Not a glance. Not a polite check.
A stare.
Hold your gaze. Hold it long enough for the illusion to tear.
See how long you last before the animal in your spine starts to squirm, before your hands sweat, before your gut whispers the ancient truth:
"Something is staring back at me, and it’s not entirely me."
🔥 THE BLOOD MEMORY NEVER LEFT
See, deep inside your so-called holy frame, there's still a gnawing, a growling, a something that remembers what it cost to survive before sermons existed.
Before Adam and Eve. Before Arks. Before commandments. Before the illusion that morality ever protected you from the jaws of existence.
You want brutal truth?
Here it is:
You're a descendant of survivors — yes.
But survival isn’t sainthood. Survival is who was most willing to drown their enemies in mud, strip meat from bone, hide in carcasses for warmth, and barter blood for another sunrise.
You're not just the child of prayer. You're the child of cannibals, howlers, fang-bearers who learned to mask their violence under velvet tongues.
🧠 WHY THE MIRROR HATES YOU SOMETIMES
Because the mirror isn’t stupid.
The mirror remembers what you try to forget.
It remembers when your bloodline tore children from the arms of others just to live one more hour.
It remembers when your ancestors didn't wait for permission — they took.
It remembers the deals made in the dark, the fires built over bones, the alliances sealed with sharpened teeth.
You're not seeing a reflection.
You're seeing the receipt.
And receipts never lie.
🩸 THE THRILL YOU PRETEND NOT TO LOVE
Ever scared someone so badly they froze? Ever jumped out of a corner and made a friend scream until their knees buckled?
Did it feel good?
Did you laugh?
Did it feel better than it should have?
Yeah. You did. You loved it.
Because somewhere deep, deeper than your Sunday best, deeper than your memorized Psalms and your polite clapping during sermons, something inside you still wants to dominate.
To terrify. To own. To watch the fear dilate in someone else's eyes — and feel, even for a heartbeat, that ancient power humming back into your bones.
🛡️ BUT SURE — CHILD OF THE ARK, RIGHT?
Sure.
Keep telling yourself that as you flinch at your own reflection in the dark.
Keep pretending that smile you give your congregation on Sunday isn’t stitched together by teeth that were meant for puncture, not politeness.
Keep telling yourself you are the blessed, the pure, the sanctified.
Meanwhile, evolution sits in the back pew — grinning with bloody gums, patient, knowing exactly what you are:
A predator trained to pretend he’s a priest.
A weapon pretending to be a witness.
A carnivore balancing a hymn book on trembling hands still stained by ancestral gore.
🔥 THE CANINES YOU HIDE
Want to really make the hair stand up on your arms?
Go ahead.
Next time you're reciting Genesis, next time you’re swinging that tired old “child of Adam and Eve” line around like a sanctified club—
Smile.
Big.
Full teeth.
Now go look in the mirror.
Look at your canines.
Not your front teeth — your canines.
The ones evolution gave you for a reason.
The ones no amount of Sunday school could file down.
You hide them when you smile. You tuck them behind polite grins. You bury them under sermons.
But they’re still there.
Waiting.
🩸 TL;DR
You are not the descendant of purity.
You are the descendant of blood-soaked, mud-choked monsters who learned the language of God just well enough to pretend they weren’t still hungry.
Your mirror knows.
Your bones know.
Your canines remember.
💣 FINAL BLESSING:
Good morning, Bible Thumper.
May your prayers be strong.
Because your demons are already wide awake.

Some books for those of you interested in art and environmental movements as seen from Latin America and the Caribbean, where nature and human life are commonly seen as interdependent. Haven't gotten to read these but have read work by some of the editors and definitely recommend looking into this or any work available to you related to this topic, esp. for artists or those of you looking to be involved in the environmental movement but in a way that feels more "culturally in tuned" to rural societies, where nature and humans aren't seen as separate (something I personally find deeply alienating about mainstream environmental movements).
A few important themes that pop up in this movement include integrating indigenous knowledge around water systems with modern-day technology and how art can be used to reimagine what that might look like in a way that also addresses environmental justice. Another key theme is the idea of the agency of nature, an idea that many indigenous peoples recognize, as exemplified in the onset of natural and man-made disasters that have been happening more and more. That is to say, that nature cannot be controlled and shouldn't be and there are ways to work in tandem with it that exudes care and respect for it and all living things who depend on it.
"The true picture of a Pictish woman" — Johann Theodor de Bry
“If you listen closely, you’ll find the forest remembers you.”
Whispers in the Grove
There are places where silence is not absence, but language —where the wind carries stories older than our names.
In the heart of the grove, the trees do not speak in words. They remember in rustle and sigh, in the patient weaving of roots that touch beneath the soil, like memory to memory.
They remember the hands that once planted them, and the grief that watered them.
They remember our promises, our forgetfulness, our return.
If you listen closely, you may hear them asking not for reverence, but for remembrance—
to walk gently, to leave no wound that cannot grow over in time.
Forgiveness is not forgetting;
it is the forest’s way of beginning again.
And when the wind moves through the leaves, it is not merely sound—it is the earth whispering back: I remember you too.
Bigfoot and Ancestral Memory
The idea of Bigfoot, a tall, ape-like creature that prowls North American forests, deeply instills ancestral memories. This character, commonly referred to as Sasquatch, weaves together elements of cryptozoology, collective storytelling, and indigenous folklore to create a rich tapestry that has a profound impact on cultural history. Bigfoot stories can be traced back to the oral traditions of many different Native American tribes. These legends, passed down from one generation to the next, tell of encounters with big, mysterious creatures living in the woods. Many tribes view Bigfoot as more than just a physical monster; to them, he represents a spiritual being, a forest defender, and a strong bond between people and the natural environment. This respect reflects a more comprehensive view of Bigfoot as an essential component of their ancestral homeland. Due to multiple sighting reports and widespread media coverage, Bigfoot's notoriety grew in the eyes of the general public over the 20th century. A key factor in this phenomenon was the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film, which purportedly contained evidence of a female Bigfoot in Northern California. Though there are still arguments concerning its veracity, the movie captivated the public's interest and cemented Bigfoot's status as a contemporary myth.
Bigfoot's fascination stems from its evocative portrayal of the undiscovered and unexplored. It pushes the limits of our current understanding by embodying the mysteries of the natural world. Other phenomena, such as sightings of UFOs and the Loch Ness Monster, demonstrate this curiosity where skepticism and belief coexist. In this way, Bigfoot serves as a link to a less explored and more enigmatic era of history. In addition, Bigfoot represents resistance to the unrelenting progress of contemporary society. A creature concealed and untainted in the forest's depths appeals to people who experience a sense of loss in the face of environmental degradation and urbanization. Bigfoot represents the ancestral memory of the wild and untamed regions that persist, if only in our shared minds. Media depictions of Bigfoot continue to shape and support the creature's story. Media portrays Bigfoot in a variety of ways, including books, documentaries, films, and television series. At times, media portrays Bigfoot as a kind, misunderstood giant, while at others, it portrays him as a terrifying, elusive creature. The Bigfoot legend endures because it is ever-evolving and flexible enough to fit into various cultural settings. Bigfoot has also become a commercial icon in today's society. Social media, product branding, and marketing efforts use its picture, demonstrating its widespread recognition and appeal. This commercialization may alter Bigfoot's traditional mystery, but it also ensures that the figure will remain a significant and enduring element of popular culture. In the end, Bigfoot's remembrance as an ancestor symbolizes humanity's continuing curiosity about the mysterious and rudimentary elements of the natural world. It represents our shared hopes, worries, and the never-ending search for knowledge. In this sense, Bigfoot remains a potent symbol in our common history, connecting the past and present.
