Roosters, emus, ducks, and pigeons flutter through the pages of this engaging and accessible collection of quirky essays by a feminist activist and scholar writing from the grounds of an animal sanctuary founded by LGBTQ people with disabilities. Topics include ableism, activism, anarchism, animal liberation, capitalism, climate change, consciousness, direct action, ecofeminism, emotion, eros, imagination, identity, language, logic, psychology, queerness, racism, sexism, speciesism, surrealism, systems thinking, veganism, and wildlife. Readers will learn about and from birds and other animals, encountering sometimes surprising intersections among the sources of social and environmental problems. Most importantly, readers will will end this whirlwind tour of "other-wise" ideas more in tune with the natural world and better able to understand and solve problems caused by human error.
