Yesterday, an essay of mine went live at The Deadlands, a lovely publication for speculative fiction, poetry, and nonfiction around death. My piece is a reflection on "nonhuman thanatology". In it, I question the human baseline that we often lean upon when wondering whether other animals "understand" death.
Do we? Consistently? Universally?
A little humility goes a long way in the cosmos.
Happy Friday, CoSo. 🖤🌌
@Armchaircouch Yay for new words! 🤗 Thanatos might be a "minor" mythic figure, but he sure did leave a mark on our culture's psyche!
