I found this as an image in an old weblog years ago. I've lost the original link and the image. Only the slogan was left (text) in my posts from the old site. So I created a new image to go with it, with my ASCII art.
"She stopped trying to slay her dragons and danced with them instead."
Found in an Etsy shop today.
... ecological surrogacy, taxon substitution, and various forms of de-extinction.
Found as the description for a group on Facebook.
All interesting topics. I didn't know what 'taxon substitution' was. These are all concepts around the idea of bringing back animals extinct from one area. Sometimes completely extinct animals (dinosaurs for example) through genetics and science. Sometimes through rewilding the same animals who have survived in and adapted to another location. Taxon substitution is about bringing another animal which could fit into the environment in a location. Not the same species, but maybe something close they hope will not cause an ecological disaster. (Think cane toads and others which did not turn out as hoped).
Dragon furniture. Fun to see but a lot of vacuuming to keep it clean. I don't think I'd use it, mostly just leave it sit a bit out of the way to be admired and start conversations.
I wish my family could understand this but I think there is a disconnect with people who keep saying "nothing really matters" when its about what someone else values. Anyway, its dragon psychology, now I understand.
