The world needs to speak up. The massacre inflicted by the Islamic Republic on the people of Iran must not left to history in silence:

[FOUNDER'S BRIEF - @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social]
In Indonesiaβs Mentawai Islands, rich with macaques, gibbons & hornbills, Indigenous youth continue practicing Arat Sabulungan β a belief that every part of nature holds spirits. Rituals before cutting trees or fishing remain a way to keep balance.
Civilians depend on essential services such as water, gas, electricity, and sanitation, among others, for their health and survival. To function, such services are often supported by critical infrastructure. When this infrastructure is attacked, the effects on civilians can be devastating.
Civilians and civilian infrastructure that provides essential services must be protected.
Even wars have limits.
Self-termination or a fundmental transforamation of how we live with each other on this plant!

We werenβt born to consume and die. We were born to connect, to create, to protect. The colonial story told us that we are separate from nature. The new (but ancient) story, the true one, knows that we are nature defending itself. We need to remember this before it is too late.

Old oak tree with twisted branches in autumn woodland of ancient oaks
A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree π³

Most of us want government to do something about the climate crisis!

Autism is also substantially (certainly not entirely) hereditary. That it persists, has persisted for millennia, says something important: It must be adapative, beneficial in some way, to individuals and/or to the whole. Ponder on that.
The Easter Bunny has older roots in the hare, sacred to the Germanic goddess Δostre. Hares were believed to lay eggs in spring fields, confusing observers and blending myth with mischief. The hare was her familiar, fleet and fertile. #FolkloreSunday

Thank you to our Red Cross and Red Crescent volunteers for bringing us hope.
You are the backbone of the IFRC network.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

As a humanitarian, we are often put in situations when we have to ask ourselves: WHY? Drilling deep enough, we get to the most basic WHY of the purpose of our work and life! I wish you happy reading of the second issue of The Phoenix! π
