A raven isn’t more than human. A raven is a raven. A dog isn’t more than human. A dog is a dog, often tangled up with a human. A human isn’t less than nonhumans. A human is a human, who is an animal.

I’m not sure how I feel about the “more-than-human” phrase that I see in the environmental humanities. While I understand its intended meaning, to me it still conceptualizes the relationship between humans and nonhumans with human exceptionalism as the reference point. (1/2)

I recieved my first “we’re interested in your work” email from a publisher. Or at least I thought I had for like a solid five minutes. Nope. It’s a scam. Ngl I am pretty disturbed that people out there are combing through aspiring artists’ websites to extort them. That’s sick.

Just finished Chapter Three of South of Midnight, and I am crying. I feel like this game is slowly healing my soul.
