I think we need to normalize using "people" as a species neutral word.
Like idk in my brain the word people just doesn't automatically = human. To me it's just a way to signify intelligence and individuality, and to emphasize the need for respect towards another creature, not specific to any one species.
Dogs can be people, mice can be people, dragons can be people, humans can be people, birds can be people, elves can be people, robots can be people, and so on.
It's also (in my opinion) just much easier than always saying "beings" or "individuals" when referring to varying assortments of creatures.

My kintype is such a complicated piece of shit work!!
If you accept tips lmk :>
Hi! Could I get a mask request for my dragon kintype (you dont have to do the front fonds)
Some ref pics :>
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thankies
Okay this was super hard and I apologize if it doesn't look like what you wanted, sorry-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have no idea if this design would even be doable as an actual mask... I hope you like it anyway! I put circles where the antenna would be, as I didn't want to draw them since they would cover up and obscure large parts of the head, I hope that's okay-
Thanks for the request!! Again, sorry

One example of this! In texas silver leaf nightshade
Tumblr media
Is considered a "pest plant" agricultural institutes suggest the follow always destroy it.
Tumblr media
(A&M agri-life.org)
Also they say its toxic to sheep and goats which is true, but it doesn't affect them much.
This plant is native to texas (where I am) and if you took the advice of every agricultural article youd assume it has 0 good qualities and is a rather terrible plant. However. If you go to a foraging source:
Tumblr media
It can make cheese be being used as a rennet and helps as a steroid for tooth aches! It was used in traditional medicine.
Heres some additional fast facts most people may not know
Prairies for livestock are maintained and have planted grasses that are typically not native to its environment (most in texas)
these grasses which were introduced due to better yield for livestock are actively encouraged while native species may be discouraged.
These prairies contaminate neighboring areas that do not have livestock making the native plants compete for no reason dampening and destroying ecosystems.
These introduced grasses typically do not benefit native wildlife mostly livestock so the greater ecosystem suffers. An unintended side effect is pasture grasses do benefit axis deer (invasive) but not native white tails.
Tainting a true 6ft tall prairie grass area by introducing pasture grasses gives native species less resources to reproduce and survive.
What I was taught growing up: Wild edible plants and animals were just so naturally abundant that the indigenous people of my area, namely western Washington state, didn't have to develop agriculture and could just easily forage/hunt for all their needs.
The first pebble in what would become a landslide: Native peoples practiced intentional fire, which kept the trees from growing over the camas praire.
The next: PNW native peoples intentionally planted and cultivated forest gardens, and we can still see the increase in biodiversity where these gardens were today.
The next: We have an oak prairie savanna ecosystem that was intentionally maintained via intentional fire (which they were banned from doing for like, 100 years and we're just now starting to do again), and this ecosystem is disappearing as Douglas firs spread, invasive species take over, and land is turned into European-style agricultural systems.
The Land Slide: Actually, the native peoples had a complex agricultural and food processing system that allowed them to meet all their needs throughout the year, including storing food for the long, wet, dark winter. They collected a wide variety of plant foods (along with the salmon, deer, and other animals they hunted), from seaweeds to roots to berries, and they also managed these food systems via not only burning, but pruning, weeding, planting, digging/tilling, selectively harvesting root crops so that smaller ones were left behind to grow and the biggest were left to reseed, and careful harvesting at particular times for each species that both ensured their perennial (!) crops would continue thriving and that harvest occurred at the best time for the best quality food. American settlers were willfully ignorant of the complex agricultural system, because being thus allowed them to claim the land wasn't being used. Native peoples were actively managing the ecosystem to produce their food, in a sustainable manner that increased biodiversity, thus benefiting not only themselves but other species as well.
So that's cool. If you want to read more, I suggest "Ancient Pathways, Ancestral Knowledge: Ethnobotany and Ecological Wisdom of Indigenous Peoples of Northwestern North America" by Nancy J. Turner

Omg best tip ever thank you so much!!
Hello! Big fan of the game :> been watching this game develops for years so exciting to see it thriving and alive!!
I was wondering would Ceratosaurus be considered a pack animal? Typically in other games I see they play the role of "hyena" in their ecosystem. Is there any scientific backing for this or is that just it's trope in media :>
I hoards exclusively ceratos and sometimes I just crave for them to be in one giant pen hanging out,,,they all have fun when I take them on trips though!!
Thank you again!!
Hello! Thank you for playing and for supporting! We really appreciate it!
For Ceratosaurus being a loner in our game, we worked with a palaeontologist (Natalia Jagielska) as a consult for our dinosaurs in-game! If you'd like to have more ceratos in one pen, I'd recommend some Deluxe Carno food- the happiness boost is gives should negate the decrease from having a load of "loners" in one pen- as long as they've got the space and you're taking care of them!
