New genetic evidence suggests Colombia’s Magdalena River divides two near-identical night monkey species. These primates remain largely invisible to science, but this discovery could fundamentally reshape national conservation strategies and protection maps. Manuel Fonseca reports for #Mongabay.

#caturday on Tuesday. Perfection.

May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.

This boy has just recently learned the joys of yelling relentlessly all night, plucking at the side of the bed with his claws like it's a stringed instrument, and doing anything else necessary to ensure I don't sleep. This takes a great deal of care and effort and I suppose I should be grateful...

Yeesh just in time for #Claudius #Caturday

Claudius cuddles his very own #toebeans for #Caturday

@joycewhitevance.bsky.social how can they do this!? (A question for Sisters in Law to which I really hope the answer is "they can't and they won't"!!)

This is really bad. You can speak out against this. Go to the BLM’s ePlanning page to comment. Link and more info and advice about commenting in the article below. SCOPING PERIOD CLOSES APRIL 7. @muellershewrote.com @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/trump-admi...

@isachandra.bsky.social your vegan chkn-ish nuggets are divine! Mine are certainly not as pretty as yours but they taste perfect. Thank you once again!

I have decided that I need to eat rice and #natto every single day (because it's delicious and apparently also healthy!) but why oh why does it have to come in styrofoam packs? (I did manage to make my own once but it's not warm enough around here this time of year).

#Claudius sez Happy #Caturday!

Calling all you humans out there, Make your cats and kittens proud, this Caturday, March 28! Join a NO KINGS protest! June 2025: 5 million protesters October 2025: 7 million protesters March 28, 2026: LET'S MAKE IT 2O MILLION!

Awww Stan 💕

No.... Ya think? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

"Salad a firm's own make; limpid red beet soup with cheesy dumplings in the form of a finger; roasted duck let loose; beef rashers beaten up in the country people's fashion." This was included in Richard Lederer's Anguished English (1989) and has been killing me ever since.

These two... #purelove

It's #caturday and the world would be a better place if everyone would just stop for a moment to appreciate the excellence of #claudius 🥹

Just tried to post a rant on LinkedIn about the utter crapness of #corporatejargon & the preceived need for NGOs to join in and adopt it, but got an automated messge saying "we're sorry, there is a problem with your post". I think this is the most perfect thing that's ever happened to me there... 🤣

"... a fundamental shift in perspective is required: animals must be recognized as stakeholders." This is written by a former colleague at AfA and is so true across so many contexts. Worth a read, worth consideration. www.linkedin.com/pulse/hearts...

Just learned that an adored acquaintance from many years ago (we only met a couple of times but got on really well) is a massive "I try to stay out of politics but..." transphobe. Given the context of when and where we were acquainted (the DIY punk rock world) it's particularly disappointing.

Amazing 100% #vegan Portuguese cafe in Bristol! Thanks for the amazing meal, #Plantuguese

I've just realised that Pamela Bondi and Karoline Leavitt are not actually meant to be the same person but has anyone ever seen them in the same place at once? 🧐

Great Bristol show @sleafordmods.bsky.social !

Today seems to be the day earmarked for fighting with shitty customer service departments at an array of establishments. Alllll day. I am remaining civil but that is quite difficult when they are so consistently unhelpful...

It's always #caturday in Claudius's house

Insomnia is just amazing. It's physically impossible for me to have been wide all these hours but here I am.

Pigeons are not the mindless vermin of caricature. Studies have found that they can recognise human faces and remember them, and that they display problem-solving abilities comparable to some primates. ✍️ Chas Newkey-Burden Article | spectator.com/article/its-...

Today, a picture of the late great Mr McFadden for #caturday 💕

Years late, I'm reading #birdbybird by @annelamott.bsky.social. I've never read such a perfect encapsulation of my own #impostorsyndrome as is there in the first few pages of the chapter on Publication. Was she spying on the person I was to become, or what? Years late, thanks :)

#vegan #pizza (so much better cheeseless than with VG cheese!) is awesome but will not be perfect until I have a pizza oven! I feel a project coming on (e.g. I feel the need to force my husband to undertake this project coming on 😁)

Hey #vegan people! Can anyone recommend a GOOD recipe for something approximating cottage cheese - like a really good one? The few I've tried basically just taste like what they are (mashed tofu) but even after years, the cravings are strong!

Oh the awkward awkward disappointment when you make the exceedingly rare decision to go to a cafe specifically for some quiet time to read and you run into a bunch of friendly but very vague acquaintances and they make you sit with them and awkwardly awkwardly interact for 45 minutes... 😬

Ahh I do love macaques. "Sneaky hair-pulling to reinforce dominance in long-tailed macaques." I believe my older sister might have been a long-tailed macaque... 😜 brill.com/view/journal...

Look at #Claudius. Every day is #caturday, always.

"You have no reason to believe that you will make it out alive if you are already being called a 'body.'"

Kawase Hasui, 1931. Of course it isn't, but it reminds me of Eel Pond #WoodsHole, behind the (former) Black Duck. Sometimes I do miss my hometown.

Yes, I am as usual very late to the game (I operate in my own time) but #wolfhall is, of course, wonderful! #booksky

Size isn’t everything. What *is* a nation, anyway?

It's #caturday and it hasn't stopped raining for weeks and it's not set to stop for weeks and #claudius has hardly left his pouffe for weeks and he's clearly not impressed. #rescuecats #cornwall #readyforspring

Having grown up in the USA, I'm disgusted but not surprised that some classmates are now rabid MAGAs. But I've just learned that a Danish friend - who I met soon after moving overseas nearly 30 years ago - is now a white supremacist islamophobe viking wannabe guy... 😳

Please watch.

I'm not sure where this image originated (Google doesn't help) but it's a good reminder.

Nonhuman #primates in captivity are dangerous, but they're not monsters. This is a nice article, worth a read. Ignore the "monkey" in the title :) nautil.us/what-primate...

"Let me get this right, UKIP became Brexit which became Reform which is now basically the Tories. So they ruin the country with one Party, rename it, then ruin it again, and then simply rename it again. " Credit: @dangoyal.bsky.social

Indeed. It can't go on!!!

This #Caturday Claudius says...

The fucking fuckers genuinely want #WW3 don't they? They're really going to do it. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

"Members Only Meatloaf" - #vegan, of course - from @isachandra.bsky.social, bringing cozy nostalgia to a freezing few days here. Yummm

High Five! #Gorilla #WildlifeConservation #NatureLovers #Primates
