This book develops an examination and critique of human extinction as a result of the ‘next pandemic’ and turns attention towards the role of pandemic catastrophe in the renegotiation of what it means to be human.

Narrating the Multispecies World by Pearl-Sue Carper, 2025
Stories in Times of Crises, Loss, and Hope
In present times, we are increasingly witnessing a loss of life, especially among animals and plants. Some species are becoming extinct, while others struggle to adjust to new habitats. Human beings are looking for strategies to overcome the effects of climate change and mass extinction.

A sixth mass extinction? Not so fast, some scientists say.
From Science News: "A new analysis suggests recent extinctions have been rare, limited to islands and slowing."

Boycott @Danone's dairy products! 
Their #palmoil is so-called "sustainable" from #RSPO yet it still causes #deforestation

So, yes, there are chemicals involved in natural processes, but you know what's not natural? #PFAS, #PFOS, and other #ForeverChemicals! If folks are becoming wary of #BigChemical (#Dow, #3M, etc) and #Pesticides, that's not a bad thing (imho)... (And no, I am not against vaccines or modern medicine -- just Big Chemical using people and the planet as their dumping ground!)
More And More People Suffer From '#Chemophobia' — And MAHA Is Partly To Blame [But not PFAS manufacturersl?!!]
The fear tactic strikes a nerve with both conservatives and liberals alike. Here’s what you need to know.

Why Did The Passenger Pigeon Go Extinct?
Although passenger pigeons were the victims of human hunters, we still don’t understand precisely how a species can decline from billions to none within a period of fifty years
