Numidotherium, oh jolly, how I love you! It is the early proboscidean ever! Don't be alarmed by it's weird look, I will break it down for you!

What you are looking at here is an early elephant relative from the Eocene of northern Africa. It is bizarrely build, with surprisingly long legs adapted for terrestrial locomotion (compared to Meoritherium for example, which was more semi-aquatic) but they are sprawling like in a dinocephalian. It's skull is very short and domed with evidence for sexual dimorphism (males having larger domes). it appears to have been a browser and was the largest land animal in the formations it was found in. The trunk was probably very short, similar to a tapir and the tusks weren't present yet.

A TEXTBOOK FOR THE ECOCENE

A Textbook for the Ecocene is a how-to guide for connecting to self, community and planet. The Ecocene is an emergent and imagined geologic era where all humyns are living in reciprocity with their ecosystems again. Each textbook chapter shares practical exercises to try at home, Earth-centered theory and spirituality, and interviews with Black and Indigenous Earth warriors—cultural workers generating planetary liberation in their everyday lives. These testimonios from Johanna Iraheta, Bruje Fuego, Raquel Lemus, Patty Denisse, Jasmine Nyende, Queen Hollins and Olivia Chumacero shine with wisdom and advice for new and seasoned Earth stewards alike. Created originally as Sarita Dougherty's DIY PhD Dissertation, A Textbook for the Ecocene is a curricula for eco-feminista educations, DIY degrees and planetary destinies. We are activating the Ecocene right now, one step at a time. What we pay attention to grows.

Geologists refer to Empire's current era of detrimental human impact on the Earth as the Anthropocene. For me, Empire refers to my home country, the US, other folks face other empires. I think of it as a political entity hoarding land and resources at the cost of everyone else, including plants, non-human animal species, water, pollinators, etc. Empires control people's ability to move, or migrate. Empire attempts to control education, economy, ecology, and culture. We are also uncontrollable.

Once the coronavirus pandemic is over, we will wake up to a new society. Before everything gets better, however, everything will get worse—for a long time yet. We are faced with frightening images and stories of suffering in refugee…
