Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

I finally have a plan together to research and rewrite my essay on horse reintroduction on the Great Plains c.1600-1900 CE.

Intentional introduction of large herbivores (such as for rewilding) is more likely to have negative impacts on native biodiversity, a recent meta-analysis finds. The authors advocate for "rigorous assessment of their impacts" prior to introduction. 🧪 #vetmed www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Bunnies had a great time with guests coming over! But now they're tired.

Growing up Arab and queer in small town Canada was brutal. As bad as that experience was, it pales in comparison to how Indigenous People are treated in this fake country. Systemic racism is the basis of settler colonialism and ecological extraction, which is slowly killing us all.

Just chillin in the digbox

Unpopular opinion: large working dog breeds do not make good housepets. Y'all need to adopt stupid, small, and/or chill dogs if you don't have anything high intensity planned for them. You do not want an intelligent, large, reactive dog sitting around all day alone, bored out of its mind!

Blue iguana climbs back from the brink. Grand Cayman’s blue iguana, once down to fewer than 25 individuals, now numbers more than 1,000 in the wild. Captive breeding, habitat restoration and community engagement reversed what was nearly a Caribbean extinction. CNN buff.ly/GKiJpcz #ShareGoodNewsToo

Wild chimpanzees consume ~4.5 kg fruit containing ~14 g ethanol every day, the equivalent of 1-2 standard drinks daily. Both human and chimp alcohol metabolism evolved as an adaptation to eat fruit without being too intoxicated. 🧪 #vetmed www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

there is already a way to extend life and youth indefinitely 1. Be a stored-grain dermestid beetle larva (say, Trogoderma) 2. Every time food gets scarce, moult backwards into a previous instar 3. Proceed to grow as usual 4. Repeat step 2

🚨 NEW: Climate change is already causing 30,000 deaths per year - a global annual economic loss of $100-350B USD - but the true damage is probably 10x higher.

There. Is. No. Such. Thing. Cattle ranching is among the most destructive of all the world's industries. "Regenerative" cattle ranching is simply greenwash.

This is HUGE. Chlamydia is one of the leading conservation issues in koalas after habitat loss and motor vehicles, especially for joeys. Antibiotics used to treat Chlamydia in humans can kill the bacteria in the Koala gut microbiome, leading to fatal dysbiosis. 🧪 #vetmed

Equestrianism has been built on a bedrock of labour exploitation dating back to Xenophon. You'd think Southern aristocrats of all people would remember that.

Dinosaurs were ecosystem engineers! Like modern elephants, Dinosaurs knocked down trees, creating open floodplain landscapes with meandering rivers. After their extinction, Paleocene landscapes became dense forests with coal swamps. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Just me petting a bunny, nothing to see here #bunsky

This new report on the connection between food and species extinction is astounding. If we want to stop our fellow Earth creatures from going extinct, we need to change our diets and stop eating so much meat.

This is ridiculous. Almost 100 percent of alligator attacks are due to straight up human stupidity and lack of even the basic situational awareness you need to negotiate getting up in the morning. www.tampabay28.com/news/local-n...

The fact that all the climate orgs are right on top of condemning political violence around the Kirk shooting, before any details are known, but many have yet to say a word about Gaza is a pretty good illustration of why the climate movement has repeatedly failed to build an actual movement.

Always wild to me when an owner refuses flea and tick or heartworm prevention because “it’s poison.” Yep, that’s me, your friendly neighborhood veterinarian out here poisoning pets! #vetmedsky

love is finite. half the world hates trans people; it falls on us to compensate by giving ourselves and each other half a world’s worth of love. so, forgive me, for not having any love left to spare for the families of fascists that put us here.

Ah yes, America. Classic neontocracy. Hey, quick question: how old do you have to be to retire? To become president? To rent a car? To drink? To vote? To be sent overseas to be killed in war? To be sent to school to be killed by a shooter? To die of preventable disease?

You know I'm right when the comments are not calling out the factual content, but are going straight for flaccid, weak ad hominem. This ain't the cream of the crop, folks!

New study finds that shark meat is routinely being sold in US grocery stores, often under deceptive or inaccurate labels. Some samples came from endangered and critically endangered species.

if you love your pets you should know that any unvaccinated pet who bites—yes even an indoor cat, bats get in houses all the time—will either be killed for rabies testing immediately or quarantined (you have no say in which), and an unvaccinated pet that is BITTEN may be quarantined for 120 days.

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.

Just wow 😵‍💫 #MolluscMonday

Hay stuffed into a cardboard tissue box is a delicacy, apparently

I walked through a graveyard in the small town where I grew up. Dozens of graves of children btw 1890-1920. After 1920, all the graves belonged to elders. My GG Aunt died of Diptheria. Choked to death on her own necrotic pharynx. Diptheria is rarer now, thanks to the vaccine. Vaccines save lives.

The churchyard of Cooling, in Kent, England. Those ten tiny gravestones were made famous by Dickens. They are a nice picture of childhood in a world without vaccines.
