This isn't politics anymore. This is morality, and the dismantling of the Patriarchy....these nasty, disgusting men, AND the tratiorist women who support and defend them must be exposed and removed from public discourse for the safety of all of the women and children of the world.

Today, I learned that Joan of Arc was executed primarily for her gender treason more than her supposed heresies.

Major success story in the fight against rabies #vetmed 🧪

Bother your animals (Also read a book, eat your veggies, and stay hydrated while you're at it 😉)

We would have to attack meat on all fronts. Every single credible argument against it; ethically, economically, and most of all ecologically. Just to have a shot at not having people turn around and vote fascism in to save the burger.

i'm convinced if we ever tried to touch the rail of meat politics in America (something that's going to eventually need to happen in order to reduce CO2 emissions), it would lead to a huge right-wing shock

Another species no longer on the global Endangered list: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

Dr. Scott Weese is a deeply respected veterinarian who is on faculty at the Ontario Veterinary College and who is both an expert and superb science communicator. If you are looking for more information about the ostrich cull, his latest blog post is helpful: www.wormsandgermsblog.com

Culls of flocks and herds affected by epizootic and zoonotic disease are never popular and are painful tragedies, but they can help prevent catastrophic outcomes to public health, animal health, and animal production industries. #vetmed www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Somehow my haterade a week ago managed to finally kill James Watson.

In case anyone is wondering if Watson was really THAT bad, @lpachter.bsky.social compiled a list of quotes that are absolutely not for the faint of heart. liorpachter.wordpress.com/2018/05/18/j...

Should have been Rosalind Franklin who lived to 96, not this racist sexist creep.

Instead of bringing jobs and wealth into dying rural communities, generating cheap renewable energy, and reducing carbon pollution, we should ceaselessly grind the soil into lifeless glass dust season after season until all arable land has been transformed into a barren desert. Got it.

Gotta love it when rabbits load themselves into the carrier

No one told me what a weird little freak Leewenhoeck was. This is awesome, dude was wild. 🧪

My favorite is when she just kinda stands around looking like she forgot what she was doing.

My sick bunny literally ran over to listen to this omg 🥺 youtu.be/fAUZRqp3h-8?...

running on the "veterinary school should be free because it would reduce vet bills 70-80%" platform and winning in the kind of volcanic landslide that buried pompeii

One of the things that sucks about the way that academia consumes social movements and steals their innovations is that by the time you're learning the history of a movement you're learning it from people who've already written the real militants out of history Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

A better world is possible. We do not need to consign ourselves to disappointment and fatalism. It was always a mistake to indulge in doomerism.

ALL YOU FASCISTS BOUND TO LOSE!

Got a new dino friend (Dilophosaurus) 🦖

Update to this story: seems as though the monkeys are not infectious, but they are a risk to the public. Still a huge animal welfare disaster though! www.cbc.ca/news/world/e...

Anyone here familiar with Newton's Principa? I read online that he gave an estimate of the age of the earth based on cooling estimates. It's a huge book and I have no idea where it is in there, if it even *is* there. Anyone know which chapter/section Newton discusses this?

I photograph cooperative cats I find on the street. Where they shouldn't be. You want this animal squished on the road? Nuts.

I just got into a stranger's van and he gave me candy This sentence is enough to kill a fragile soul in 1995 but is entirely reasonable today

Happy Halloween, Everybunny!

SOMEHOW IT GETS WORSE

James D Watson in *The Double Helix* had some UNHINGED things to say about Rosalind Franklin. I knew it was bad but wtf.

Sharks absolutely get cancer, and people claiming otherwise are pseudoscientific grifters preying on the desperate. Even if sharks did not get cancer, eating shark would not cure your cancer any more than eating LeBron James would make you better at basketball.

This is literally what happens in veterinary medicine now. Some people want the gold standard of care. This is literally a conversation I have dozens of times a week. I hate this kind of moral panic nonsense.

Why is Bluesky hiding replies for no reason?

Captive animals wild and domestic can live 2-3x as long as free-roaming animals due to better nutrition, human husbandry, and veterinary care. Natural selection works because many animals die before they can complete their life cycle, while the survivors may suffer chronic illness & injury.

What a nightmare, both for public health and animal welfare.

Nearly one in five urinary tract infections in Southern California is caused by zoonotic E. coli. The source? Most likely contaminated meat products, particularly poultry, based on the resistance patterns of the E. coli matching those in food animals. #vetmed 🧪 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Call me crazy, but if you can't feed your own people, you do not deserve to lead them.

Another longshot: anyone know anything about cassowary husbandry in New Guinea? I know that cassowary chicks are kept for food there, but I'm intrigued by this mention of Cassowaries being kept as "collectibles."

Fossil Fuel Oligarchs own Washington. Mellon is using his oil money to bankroll the US military on the eve of an invasion against Venezuela. Petrocapitalism is a death cult. For the good of animals human and non-human, these billionaires have to be stopped. www.climatecriminals.org/timothy-mellon

Walked in on these two canoodling

My gf is getting me to switch to Linux Mint. I like it so far. The thing that has won me over the most is that it comes with a functional PDF document viewer that is free of AI, which is more than what I can say about whatever the hell Adobe Reader became. Much less intrusive.

Violence, scientific DRAMA, and misunderstanding! Who first asked if woodpeckers get headaches, or if rams are immune to brain damage? New Paper! I trace the history of human thought on brain injury in head-hitting animals, and it's a wild ride. 🧪 🏺 A thread - 1/🧵 doi.org/10.1002/ar.7...

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨 Many things are changing before our eyes. Others are harder to see Like the US economy Americans are spending more 💲 recovering from disasters and preparing for the next one. 36% of US GDP growth since 2000 is related to climate disasters. Welcome to the Disaster Industrial Complex 🎁🔗

Very good thread. Maddening how people will argue for maintaining current consumption patterns on a finite earth.
