I just learned about the hoatzin, aka stink bird, from the Werner Herzog film “Wings of Hope.” It’s one of those birds that you look at and say, “Yes, that is 100% a dinosaur, no questions, move along.”
“Wings of Hope,” btw, is not about the stink bird, but about Juliane Koepcke, who at 17 was the only survivor of a plane crash in the Peruvian jungle. Throughout the film hoatzins are called “chickens” in translation for some reason.
Good morning! A post just rolled across my fedi-timeline saying not to post about politics on Mastodon, so I'm here to remind you that:
1 "politics" refers to decision-making about how to live together in groups
2 choosing to not participate in political discussion is saying you support the status quo, and is a political stance
3 abstaining from politics because you feel safe from its impacts is a privilege and a choice to abandon your more vulnerable neighbours
