It Seems That Your Cheap Phones Are Not A God Given Right But Actually A Luxury Sustained By Imperialist

hi y’all i just wanted to put you onto this fundraiser for the buffalo nations grasslands alliance. they’re trying to recoup some of the funds for black-footed ferret conservation on tribal grounds that the trump/musk administration has frozen, which is impacting not only the conservation efforts themselves but the livelihoods of the people working on them. the frozen grant is 1.1 million but this fundraiser has a goal of 50,000.

the fundraiser has 24 days left and has only reached 2% of its goal with 11 donations. black-footed ferrets are an endangered lazarus taxon that was thought to be extinct from 1979-1981 before being rediscovered by accident. they’re a miracle of conservation and it would be horrible to lose them for good, not to mention (again) the impact of people working with these animals losing their jobs which is outlined in the fundraiser link. indigenous-led conservation efforts are extremely important for a wide variety of reasons and as someone in the zoology area i feel obligated to share this fundraiser to contribute to those efforts.

i know that things are hard right now and there’s a lot of people and organizations all across the world that need help, so don’t feel pressured BUT if you have extra money and you can contribute to this fundraiser or share it with people who can that would be great.

super cute black-footed ferrets ^

All who are interested in the cause of plant diversity, pollinators, and the restoration of ecosystems, please pay attention to the simplest articulation of my advice:

You must seek those who know the ways of the plants and who share the plant agenda

Look for organizations, events and places where these people might be found, and wait for them to appear. Some are from the academic world, many others came to know the plants another way

If someone's email address is publicly available, you can use it to contact them. But the most powerful contacts will be those unreachable by online means

When you find someone, they will tell you the names of other people, so you can seek those people as well. When contacting new connections, tell them who sent you

If you learn to explore your surroundings, recognize the plants, gather their seeds and grow plants yourself, you will be a valued connection

Write down your contacts in a little book and make yourself slightly annoying by offering your service in some way

The plants will teach you the rest...start learning from the weeds, which are easy to know and easy to grow
