  Extinction and the Human - Four...

  Timothy Sweet

  In Extinction and the Human Timothy Sweet ponders the realities of animal extinction and endangerment and the often divergent Native American and Euro-American narratives that surround them. He focuses especially on the force of human impact on megafauna—mammoths, whales, and the North American bison—beginning with the moments that these species' extinction or endangerment began to generate significant print archives: transcriptions of traditional Indigenous oral narratives, historical and scientific accounts, and literary narratives by Indigenous American and Euro-American authors. 
   
   
   
  Sweet investigates culturally distinct ways of understanding the extinction of the mammoths; the impact of the Euro-American whaling industry and the revitalization of Native American whaling traditions; and the bison's near-extermination at the hands of white market hunters and today's Euro-American and Native American efforts on behalf of the animal's preservation. He reflects on humans' relations with animals through models of divine preservation, competitive extermination, evolutionary determination, biophilia, and treaties with animals. Ultimately, he argues, it is the critical assessment of ideas of human exceptionalism that provides a necessary counterpoint both to apologies for human mastery over nature and deep ecology's attempts to erase the human.

  Queering Contemplation - Finding...

  The world of contemplative Christianity has yielded to the same voices for far too long, many of whom are from centuries before our time, with lives unlike our own, and often from experiences disconnected from marginalization, oppression, and what it feels like to be an outsider. 
   
   
   
  Cassidy Hall, an LGBTQIA+ Christian contemplative scholar and podcast host, takes us on a journey to queer the contemplative tradition. 
   
   
   
  As queerness reawakened her own contemplative life, Hall discovered that queering and questioning the tradition allowed her to listen more closely to voices that are queer, marginalized, and oppressed. In showing us the way, she helps us envision what contemplative faith can look like, what spiritual spaces we can reclaim for welcome—and how queering contemplation, and lifting up queer contemplative voices, frees us to seek the infinite possibility of our own identity and engage our spiritual lives with open hearts and open hands. 
   
   
   
  Whether you're queer or want to queer your own perspectives, Hall throws open the doors of contemplative spirituality for all, bringing us to contemplation in very new, sometimes old, but always queer ways.

  25 Shocking Facts About North...

  North Korea remains one of the most secretive and isolated countries in the world, a nation shrouded in mystery and tightly controlled by its ruling regime. With limited access to information and heavy restrictions on communication with the outside world, understanding what life is truly like inside North Korea has long been a challenge. Despite these barriers, researchers, defectors, and investigative journalists have gradually revealed shocking details about the country’s inner workings.  
    
  The foundation of modern North Korea was established in the aftermath of World War II, when the Korean Peninsula was divided into two separate states. The North, under the leadership of Kim Il-sung, adopted a rigid communist ideology and built a powerful authoritarian regime. Over the decades, this system evolved into a personality cult centered around the ruling Kim family, with Kim Jong-il and later Kim Jong-un continuing to hold absolute control. This dynasty has enforced strict obedience through propaganda, fear, and isolation from the global community.  
    
  Every aspect of life in North Korea is closely monitored. Citizens are subjected to relentless surveillance, with state informants reporting on friends, neighbors, and even family members. This climate of fear ensures that few dare to challenge the regime. Education, media, and cultural expression are all carefully controlled to reinforce loyalty to the Kim family. Information from the outside world is heavily restricted, and those caught accessing foreign media face severe punishment.
