A new study shows that interactions between wolves and cougars in Yellowstone National Park are driven by wolves stealing prey killed by cougars and that shifts in cougar diets to smaller prey help them avoid wolf encounters.

A quotation from Adlai Stevenson

True patriotism, it seems to me, is based on tolerance and a large measure of humility.

Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965) American diplomat, statesman
Speech (1952-08-27), “The Nature of Patriotism,” American Legion Convention, Madison Square Garden, New York City

What the fuck? Dude can't even bring himself to say "culture."

Hey. Dimwit! The habit of smiling is not acquired upon American naturalization, nor is it distributed by Customs and Immigration Services. It's acquired through FUCKING CULTURE.

Whiteness, folks. It bleaches all away and leaves only emptiness and hunger. Stop fucking feeding it.

In-fucking-credible the lengths people will go to redefine words because they can't fucking conceive of "white" not being "default."

P.S. BTW, research shows Americans developed the habit of smiling in order to appear non-threatening to out-group members. It's what happens when you live in—despite how shitty we sometimes are about it—one of the most pluralistic cultures on the planet. So erasing its history erases the efforts we have made to coexist with folks with whom we share nothing in common.

Imagine that. Fuck this guy and his whole white website.

A screenshot of a text-based article or post. The header, which is a blue hyperlink, reads: "Americans have such an interesting reputation internationally," followed by body text in black: "but one that seems to give our nationality away in Germany is our habit of smiling. That's not to say that Germans don't smile because of course they do! But they don't smile while passing strangers on..." The text cuts off at the bottom.

A quotation from The Bible

Have the same concern for everyone. Do not be proud, but accept humble duties. Do not think of yourselves as wise. If someone has done you wrong, do not repay him with a wrong. Try to do what everyone considers to be good. Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody.

[τὸ αὐτὸ εἰς ἀλλήλους φρονοῦντες, μὴ τὰ ὑψηλὰ φρονοῦντες ἀλλὰ τοῖς ταπεινοῖς συναπαγόμενοι. μὴ γίνεσθε φρόνιμοι παρ᾽ ἑαυτοῖς. μηδενὶ κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ ἀποδιδόντες, προνοούμενοι καλὰ ἐνώπιον πάντων ἀνθρώπων· εἰ δυνατὸν τὸ ἐξ ὑμῶν, μετὰ πάντων ἀνθρώπων εἰρηνεύοντες·]

Coexistence is not just a choice; it is a scientific necessity. Let’s stop "barking up the wrong tree" and start investing in the humane solutions that actually work.

A quotation from The Bible

Give a welcome to anyone whose faith is not strong, but do not get into arguments about doubtful points. One person may have faith enough to eat any kind of food; another, less strong, will eat only vegetables. Those who feel free to eat freely are not to condemn those who are unwilling to eat freely; nor must the person who does not eat freely pass judgement on the one who does — because God has welcomed him. And who are you, to sit in judgement over somebody else’s servant? Whether he deserves to be upheld or to fall is for his own master to decide.

[Τὸν δὲ ἀσθενοῦντα τῇ πίστει προσλαμβάνεσθε, μὴ εἰς διακρίσεις διαλογισμῶν. ὃς μὲν πιστεύει φαγεῖν πάντα, ὁ δὲ ἀσθενῶν λάχανα ἐσθίει. ὁ ἐσθίων τὸν μὴ ἐσθίοντα μὴ ἐξουθενείτω, ὁ δὲ μὴ ἐσθίων τὸν ἐσθίοντα μὴ κρινέτω, ὁ θεὸς γὰρ αὐτὸν προσελάβετο. σὺ τίς εἶ ὁ κρίνων ἀλλότριον οἰκέτην; τῷ ἰδίῳ κυρίῳ στήκει ἢ πίπτει.]

Good idea: corridors for southern Africa's growing elephant population

https://news.mongabay.com/2025/12/corridors-not-culls-offer-solution-to-southern-africas-growing-elephant-population/

In Southern Africa overall, populations of elephants are stable, or even growing, but space for them is not. This pressure has increased human-elephant conflict and fueled calls from some for elephant culls. Z16’s epic trek underscores a quieter, more hopeful solution to the region’s so-called “elephant problem”: keeping the routes that connect fragmented ranges open through the creation and protection of wildlife corridors.

A quotation from Charles Evans Hughes

When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free.

Village Invites Crows as 'Honored Guests,' Faces Zero Harvest and Food Crisis. Survives Winter Thanks to 'Relief Supplies' from Crows.

Declaring 'Harvest Joy for All Living Beings,' the village removed all scarecrows and escorted crows to VIP seats. Predictably, the fields were emptied, but days later, a massive pile of nuts appeared in front of the village hall.

How can we identify #coexistence in #ecology? There are at least three common approaches (structural stability, eigenvalues, and invasion), and each investigates different aspects of community dynamics (equilibria, locally stable equilibria, and global stability).

Want to learn more? See our recent review in #BiologicalReviews, where some of the leading experts from each of these sub-fields has helped assemble a practical guide for characterizing coexistence: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/brv.70079

This is not the time to step back. It is the time to lean in. To be louder. More relentless. More unapologetic in our demand for ethical, science-based, and just wildlife management.

Bull Moose standing in a fall field with snow dusted mountains in the background. "This is not the time to step back. It is the time to lean in. To be louder. More relentless. More unapologetic in our demand for ethical, science-based, and just wildlife management. The people tearing apart protections for wildlife want us to believe that we are powerless, but they wouldn’t be working
so hard to silence us if that were true." Wildlife for All

Right now, it is easy to feel hopeless.The forces we are up against seem insurmountable. But the truth is, the fight for wildlife and wild places has always been an uphill battle.

A quotation from Gene Roddenberry

If man is to survive, he will learn to take a delight in the essential differences between cultures. To learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life’s exciting variety, not something to fear.

Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991) American television screenwriter and producer
Quoted in Stephen E. Whitfield, The Making of Star Trek, Part 1, ch. 3, epigraph (1968)
