Calls for grizzly hunts to return to Western Canada oversimplify a complex ecological issue
Hunting advocacy organizations and politicians are inciting a moral panic about grizzly bears, oversimplifying an inherently complex ecological problem.

This strong collection by @jidesalawu.bsky.social arrived in my life today. If you haven’t read Jide’s work yet, I encourage you to dive in! He writes of migration, the leaving and the waiting and the loss. He writes of a broken and exploited homeland, one that sings through him onto the page.
