Snek in a hammock 🐍

Dude has associated me doing the dishes with him getting veggies. Last night, he got impatient and started snooping around the kitchen.

Dude learned how to access the hay better by pressing his head beneath the hay rack and unhooking it from the puppy gate. Little problem solver!

Interesting! I do wonder how much avian influenza itself caused egg price inflation vs fears of avian influenza vs this kind of conspiratorial price fixing.

Had an edible last night and really thought I was cooking

Good post. This claim of "genetic pacification" reminds me of the fishy claims made by Wrangham regarding conspiratorial killing as a driver of human self-domestication. Unless Paleolithic humans did outright eugenics, conspiratorial killing alone cannot substantiate human self-"domestication."

Obsession is a fantastic movie with a bold thesis: "Incels deserve neither girlfriends nor cats."

I love this video but it was such a problem-child to make: - Had to re-film everything because the first take was in slow-mo - Had to export the video four times due to editing changes - Copyright warning for including film clips in fair use (I removed) - Copyright claimed for music (I removed)

New study finds that there are many striking similarities in human-dog interactions across the globe, challenging the idea that the human-dog relationship in WEIRD countries is unique. Dogs in non-WEIRD countries are very similar behaviourally to WEIRD dogs. #vetmed 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy Birthday, Emma Goldman!

Happy pride to the super bisexuals

It's wonderful knowing that I'm beating the University at their own game 😎

messy goth roommate is aura farming

I adore this man

New video! Happy Pride Month! In this video, we discuss bisexuality in human and non-human animals, Alfred Kinsey and the kinsey scale, and how taxonomy has struggled to reckon with human sexual diversity. 🧪 youtu.be/lo-5KSL3ESg

Just the tip of the iceberg with the difficulties of filming and editing this video. Should be posting it tonight if the gods deem it wise. But hey, if you want to buy me a coffee, now you can! Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/zoognosiswit...

The coolest thing about YouTube monetization is that now I get PAID when commenters are transphobic and misogynistic 😎

This has got to be the weirdest human evolution story I've ever covered. I'm still baffled -- yes, baffled -- by these results. 🏺🧪

A few decades late on the draw, but I was positively surprised by the “straight-upness” of this WSJ piece on city adaptation to climate change www.wsj.com/science/envi...

New video is going to be just shy of an hour long, buckle up

You ever finish editing an hour long youtube video and decide "nah, I need to include another two minute aside just for the hell of it"? That's where I'm at rn.

Sporothrix brasiliensis is spreading worldwide, posing a epizootic risk to cats and zoonotic risk to humans. 🧪 #vetmed www.sciencenews.org/article/dead...

Had to spend another 90 minutes re-recording everything for my video because my camera recorded everything in slow-mo for some reason fml

When Allison Bailey sued her vet for ‘gender critical’ discrimination after they called her dog fat

Moooooom! The beef-eating co-religionists of the American Far West are having an internecine conflict about how much they love animal sacrifice!!

Gotta love it when bigots cannot see beyond a binary even when the spectrum is laid out before them.

Women would rather do ecoterrorism than go to therapy

I hope these products are banned. Fipronil and imidacloprid are extremely toxic to birds, insects, and aquatic life while being less effective than other options, like isoxazoline products. Any time an animal treated with these products goes swimming or sheds hair, it causes untold damage. #vetmed

I forgot Caesar was an alleged bisexual man-whore, this is an important point history seems to ignore

Fast food chains keep discontinuing their vegan options on their menus. Capitalism has lost all ability to innovate. The market is inefficient and cannot meet this consumer's very reasonable demands.

1/ Five cases of New World screwworm have now been confirmed in the U.S., Texas has declared an emergency, and Canada immediately restricted livestock imports. Most people had never heard of screwworm until last week (or maybe just now). That's because we eradicated it from the U.S. in 1966.🧵

“Today, I stood on Sagarmatha not just for myself, but for every trans person who has ever felt unseen. We belong everywhere. Even at the top of the world.” 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ 🏔️🏔️🏔️

there is little hope for this dog those bacteria are too big

Amazing that it took until 2020 to provide "robust evidence" that men could be bisexual 🧪

NOT EVEN THREE DAYS!!

I am in fearful awe of geology.

How it started (March 2025) / how it's going (June 2026)

Major problem for US beef producers, massive crisis for bovine herd health. I expect US beef and leather prices will rise. Beef producers will now have to rely on insecticides and ivermectin, which is expensive, environmentally-damaging, and promotes anthelmintic resistance. #vetmed 🧪

Reading this today for an upcoming video upittpress.org/books/978082...

The Nova / "ultra-processing" schema is not fit for purpose for adjudicating the healthfulness or sustainability of foods.

Begging y'all to stop praising the Catholic Church at least during Pride Month. No, the Pope is not an ally. No, the Church has not "softened" its stance on trans people. No, there is no need to "hand it to them" on any issue. All I'm asking is for 30 days without that nonsense.

Reading excerpts from yet another book discussing how transition positions "biomedical intervention as necessary" and makes trans people "cathect hope on a for-profit medical industry" and I am done. I am fucking done. This is fucking out of touch with reality and yet rife in trans scholarship.

Update: both of the fledglings flew away today 🥲

Happy Pride, Everyone! 🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⚧️ Any video topics you would like to see for Pride month? I have an idea, but I'd be happy to explore any LGBTQ+ biology topics you wanted to learn more about!

Fuck yea, I love reading the news.

A fledgling landed on my porch yesterday. Checked in this morning and it seems to have undergone mitosis.

Big up the wanking birds
