How Much Do We Owe a Being We’re Not Sure Is Conscious?
Part of an occasional series: ideas from outside the usual solarpunk reading list. Here's a question that used to sound like science fiction and increasingly doesn't: an insect, a factory-farmed animal, and an AI system might all, for different reasons, be beings whose inner experience — if they have any — we genuinely can't verify. Do we owe any of them anything? And if the honest answer is "we don't know if they're sentient," does that uncertainty let us off the hook, or does it […]https://petroskowo.pl/2026/09/04/how-much-do-we-owe-a-being-were-not-sure-is-conscious/

Once I was a fan of the BBC #WildlifeMagazine account. Today I unfollowed @BBCWildlife because I'm fed up of their #clickbait #narrative (real headline catastrophes) to show #moreThanHuman life as oh so poisonous, extra dangerous, horrible-terrible looking ...
I think they have a terrific-terrible toxic approach and perspective on #nature that I can't take anymore in times of #biodiversityCrisis and #anthropocentrism. They have still good articles but how they sell them ... no. Enough. 1/2

@davidho 🤣 A protest on the streets: moths, ants, birds, and small mammals hold signs: Why do they never ask us (if we are conscient)?

📣 New paper: Designing for biodiversity data in place: Species, encounters, and interfaces
This open access paper presents our work developing ALA Lens for the Atlas of Living Australia.
It shows how conventional interfaces can hide the taxonomic and spatial diversity that matters in biodiversity data, and how Lens reveals the relationships between species, people, and place.
Co-authored with my @ANUResearch colleague Adrian Mackenzie and ALA collaborators Martin Westgate and Kylie Morrow 🙏
Just out in People and Nature journal, part of a special collection on the "Digital Dimensions of Nature Recovery"

hello mastodon —
sound, listening and performance as ways of thinking with territory.
non-anthropocentric perspectives, infrastructures, measurement, and resistant environments.
psychogeography, cultural studies, and the arts as ways of attending — including alternative mappings and cartographies.
photography as field note. sound as method.
slow conversations welcome.#SoundStudies #SoundArt #Listening
