The Goodest Boy...

Someone lost a dear friend. We should honor that.

I hope this gets back to Kevin's kahu/companion.

I just caught a kāhu/hawk!

*It was injured and could almost but not quite fly. I acted on the advice of my local vet and brought it to them. No idea what its outlook is, the med staff were performing a procedure so haven't seen it yet.

Guardian. Friend. Teacher.
We are one.

This motion piece is inspired by love that knows no shape.
A carefully crafted tribute to Lucas the schnauzer. My best friend, teacher, fuzzy brother, and constant reminder that as scary as things may feel, there is always light, love, and life is a gift worth sharing.

My cat relies on me for food, water, and veterinary care. He shows me affection in return.

He has made it very clear over the years that I do not own him.

#kahu #animals #CatsOfMastodon

Y'all I wrote about my #cats this week for my @solarpunkpresents article bc I'm a hopeless #cat lady and also a chronic overthinker, so of course I'm super conflicted about straight-up owning another living being.

Anyone else feel like this, tho? #Ethics where #pets are concerned are so squishy. I'm glad that the word #kahu exists honestly, shoutout to #Hawaiian people for being mad wise about #relations with non-human #animals.

Thoughts?

Solarpunks and companion animals — Solarpunk Presents

Using the language of “ownership” to describe humans’ relationship to their companion animal(s) assumes a subject-object relationship, or a hierarchical binary that positions all human animals as superior to non-human animals. Instead of the baggage-laden term of “owner,” then, I propose solarpunks

#Kāhu flies over the waning gibbous #moon, seen through a gap in the windbreak.

This harrier was beautifully illuminated by the early morning sun but I didn’t have time to run inside and get a fancier camera as he continued on with his morning rounds without me.
