I'm Erik, warhammer.social refugee, Frisian midlifer, lover of #MiniatureHobby and #TabletopGaming of varied sorts since the early 90s. I currently run the school #WarhammerAlliance and have been responsible for successfully seeding #BloodBowl in the northern Netherlands. I like fostering game enthousiasm.
I will retoot things that take my interest, ranging from #gaming to #politics to #humanity to #nature. Always making efforts towards the positive.

The language of the forest is a language of time. It is of being, not existing. As this transtemporal window opens we feel the connection of our consciousness as we become one with the universe.

What happens when an unfortunate bug ends up in a spider’s web? It gets bitten & wrapped in silk and becomes a meal. But if the web belongs to an orb-weaver and the bug is a male firefly, it seems the trapped firefly (once bitten) ends up imitating a female’s flash pattern & luring other males to their doom.

It all started with an observation that almost all fireflies in webs were male, and careful investigation revealed it’s not just some odd coincidence. When spiders are not present, the male fireflies don’t act any differently. When a spider is present and detects a male firefly, the spider wraps and bites the firefly differently than other insects. It’s unknown exactly what happens, but this somehow results in the male firefly imitating a female’s flash patterns. Males see this and swoop in to mate, but with a rather different outcome than expected.
The research paper contains added details but it’s clear that there is more going on in this process than meets the eye. Spiders are already fascinating creatures (we’ve seen an amazing eye-tracking experiment on jumping spiders) and it’s remarkable to see this sort of bio-hacking going on under our very noses.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/113/600/408/742/987/355/original/a49ee2adc2580e21.png "[ImageSource: Newatlas]

Such judgements and categorisation based on purely human standards and values are used probably as clickbait but at the same time contribute to frame and influence our perspective on certain animals.

#KleeBenally 'Carry On'
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, April 9, 2024
"Klee, discussing resource extraction, and how the #NavajoTribalCouncil was created to sign #oil and #gas leases, quotes our friend, the gentle, soft-spoken farmer from Shiprock, who received his doctorate degree before passing, Larry Emerson.
"'There is no point in trying to #decolonize the Navajo government -- it was not right for us from the start. Its structure and process is a replica of the American system, and the American system appears to be edging toward the possibility of failure like the great #RomanEmpire.'
"Writing on these monsters, oil and gas extraction, and coal mining, Klee quotes #LouiseBenally of #BigMountain, his aunt, whose family spent their lives resisting coal mining, #ForcedRelocation, and the machinery of the tribal government.
"Louise said, 'The natural laws and the Indigenous Peoples were already here in a good relationship before the coming of the #colonial society who draws laws and boundaries. However, we #IndigenousPeoples will always have ties with these lands, we will continue to live that way with #nature and we will carry on.'
"Klee shares the words of his grandmother, Roberta Blackgoat, who never gave up the fight. 'The Coal they strip mine is the Earth's liver."
Although many have passed, and too many have died from broken hearts, there are those who live on, carry on.
"Klee writes, 'The remaining resisters to forced relocation have outlived the monster that was consuming our lands, stealing our water, and polluting our lungs.'
"Before passing, Klee described the monsters, the rage against the machine, and the ways of restoring balance and harmony.
