Helleeewww, fellow Homo sapiens! How are we doing tonight party people?

Great to hear, in other news, welcome to my blog! A place for me to repost art, artifacts, history stuff, and all around whatever I feel like.

I may or may not make a side blog where I post archaeology/anthropology-related stuff but until then, enjoy what I have so far!

i just heard about dashcon 2 so here's my predictions/wishes:

a smaller ball pit

a strange aeons shrine, dedicated to the patron saint of defending the hollow shell of what was once tumblr

this time, an authentic british-accented person

some proper food? like actual food this time, OR limited rations as a hunger games-style competition prize

actual superwholock fans, with some safety measures since they’re practically a rare breed now (also maybe a fence to protect visitors from the superwholock fans)

tramp stamps concert - instead of bracelets, every attendee gets a (optional temporary tattoo or a sticker to pop on your outfit) tramp stamp tattoo with “TAMPONS” or “J-GREEN IS MY BB” or something along those lines

an even smaller ball pit

a presidential shoelace-stealing mini-game where you do some parkour in an oval office-themed area - plot twist, the president’s wearing velcro shoes and you get tackled by a swat team

In addition, The three weed-smoking girlfriends will absolutely have to be in attendance.

i've been reading a lot of books about urban naturalism recently, and the one big thing they all talk about is how you HAVE to stop seeing nature as something that happens somewhere else. nature is not just charismatic megafauna and state parks and mountain ranges. nature is that abandoned lot that's growing native milkweed in it. nature is the murder of crows that lives in your block. nature is the moss growing on your roof and the dandelions growing in the sidewalk cracks and the song birds at your neighbor's birdfeeder. and you should care about it! you should notice it! that's YOUR nature!

@tora42 sure!

the two that most directly pertain to this post are Nature Obscura by Kelly Brenner and Crow Planet by Lyanda Lynn Haupt. Both are written by naturalists living in Seattle about their practices as urban naturalists, Nature Obscura through the vehicle of multiple creatures found in different seasons, Crow Planet mainly through the behavior of the crows living in West Seattle. though i'm spoiled and also live in seattle i think both of these books are super useful introductions to anyone who's interested in building a personal practice as a naturalist anywhere. (both also have extensive bibliographies that i have mostly yet to work through.)

more broadly i also read Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer which everyone tells you to read for good reason, it rocks. it's less about how to be a naturalist and more about how to create a relationship with the earth, but i think having read it will make any other book about urban naturalism carry more weight.

i'm also going to shout Underland by Robert Macfarlane out here as well, which is not at all about urban naturalism but did introduce me to the concept of deep time and rocked my entire world.

and i haven't read this one yet, but Slow Birding by Joan E. Strassmann is on my tbr, it's about birding as a way to connect with nature in your backyard and sounds excellent.

In the field of anthropology, the preservation of nature is incredibly important as a lot of indigenous communities still understand this concept and many still very much live with nature. The western world’s practice of isolating themselves from the natural world does not extend to other cultures who are heavily impacted by industrial forces wreaking havoc on the earth. Deforestation in the Amazon forest is a prime example of this.

I have not read any books about urban naturalism yet but I definitely will now! Gonna reblog so other people can get book recommendations :3
