Yesterday I attended The dedication ceremony for the monument to Washoe and her family. For those familiar with Washoe, you will know that she is the first chimpanzee taught to use ASL as a baby and went on to teach her own child as well as her adopted chimp family at Central WA University

The trees of the redwoods. My God. We must care for all of this creation. The awe these trees inspire is fantastic. Talk about a forest bath. This was more of a forest spa treatment.

I did a double take when I saw this deciduous tree with cones! Turns out alder trees have both male and female structures but in different areas! The small cones are the female structure.

In Series 13 we'll be discussing 'The Sexual Politics of Meat' with author and activist, Carol J. Adams! Carol's book and work is not only enlightening but necessary to understand the scope of the relationship humans have with meat...one example below.
