Shifts in the human dietway, from pre-sapiens to today, have correlated with the degree of our increasing use of objects and technologies, which correlated with our invasion, colonization and annihilation of thriving autonomous communities of life. Our foodway has […]

Perhaps the form of art that bothers me most is contorting wild into abstract form in more biodiverse thriving places. Ordering and objectifying fragments of wild habitat into moldable pieces was a major stepping stone toward Homo’s step out of wildness into intentionality of species supremacy.

Ria’s response to Oak Journal’s podcast “Rejecting the World Society Paradigm” with Bellamy, John Zerzan and Steve Kirk condemning vegan primitivism. https://soundcloud.com/oakjournal/rejecting-the-world-society-paradigm -Veganism is hating power in oneself, hyper-pacifism, and that doesn’t happen in the natural world – Does compassion happen in the natural world?
