Atheism, humanism, feminism, and science dominate in my little corner of the world. My personal brand of science is ecology and evolutionary biology, focusing on conservation through environmental education. Feminism and humanism go hand in hand, and for me, atheism tags along with both. I've only come to define myself as a humanist recently (before that, I knew the philosophy, but not the word), but I've considered myself an atheist, a feminist, and a scientist for many, many years.
Ha! Proud sentry bird here.What is a sentry bird you ask?
Sentry birds are the birds in the flock that fly out ahead and sing a watchman’s song to alert the other birds whether or not there are predators or other danger or whether there is adequate food for foraging.Sort of a romanticized version of what a vocal skeptic, a social activist or an artist with a message would do. No?
