"Man is not the center of things. The animals too are envoys of the divine, voices of the universal mind." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Did you know animals not only influence the living environments of the planet but also lead complex lives that involve feelings and mental control?

We sacrifice what’s real—natural world, sentient animals, our health, climate—to uphold a contrived paradigm that equates meat with wellness and prosperity.

Did you know that empathy is measurable in many species, not just in behavior, but in neurological patterns mirroring human compassion?

Slaughtering animals for meat isn’t a collective need—it’s an individual choice. Let them live.

A woman watches her niece build a terrarium, recreating life behind glass. A meditation on care, control, and the fragile spaces we try to keep alive as everything around us leans toward collapse.

My eight-year-old niece visits and we spend the afternoon in the backyard, digging. She plunders with her hands, fingertips stabbing summer-dry dirt. I’ve forgotten, again, to buy her a shovel but she has a brittle plastic bucket I unearthed from the garage. She asks for things, one after the other. Do I have a glass jar? With a lid? Rocks? I fetch a jar from the kitchen, fast so that I don’t lose her within the square of the window. We kneel over grass, patchy in late August, and pick out pebbles. We find a lichen fallen from a branch which looks like a little tree once she places it in the jar. She yanks a maple leaf down and shreds it in one hand. She’s creating a scene behind glass. She’s making it for me so I thank her.

​​They say a dimple made its way from town to town across the world it saw as from behind a jammed window that won’t open—it passed as light through small apertures. But everybody was so busy with themselves they couldn’t see it. No one needed saving anymore.

I don’t know how to write this; another month in his quicksand palm, where I lie freely, or would if I could. I think of summer’s end, of my grandmother teaching my mother to dry figs in the sun, and me sitting by the window wishing literature would die or kill me or both. I didn’t understand then that pistols aren’t loaded with words. It doesn’t matter. The sand exfoliates my pores and crystalizes on my eyelashes.

"The animal reminds us that life precedes thought, and that thought is only one way of being alive." - Hannah Arendt

To be alive is already to be in relation with the world.

Are humans really the only rational animals? Our NEW PAPER 🎉 out in @science.org suggests otherwise! In a large collaboration led with my joint first author @hanna-schleihauf.bsky.social, we show that “Chimpanzees rationally revise their beliefs” 🧵
Chimpanzees rationally revise their beliefs
The selective revision of beliefs in light of new evidence has been considered one of the hallmarks of human-level rationality. However, tests of this ability in other species are lacking. We examined...

At dusk, the dusk holds the days apart. I am also other than I imagine myself to be. To know this is forgiveness, Simone Weil wrote at the onset of WWII. Still, this almost-hour. Its snows. All that I still have to lose. What grain, what glacier, what child, what plain did I hand my emptiness that I would feel full? Still, I don’t understand why
