Found in a YouTube comments section: “I have had multiple conversations with friends about how we would rather have a vet than a doctor because we'd a) be given cheese, b) told that we're a beautiful fluffball, and c) be told how good we were for not biting anyone” 😂🧀 @vetmedcorner.bsky.social

Living la vida loca 😂

He’s confusing the blood-brain barrier with data security. 🤦‍♀️

A reminder to all military personnel, and everyone, really, that “I was just following orders” is not a defence. There is an entire chain of command in the US military whose integrity has been compromised by these actions. They committed, or were complicit in, the murder of unarmed civilians.

Cue: Governments around the world frantically changing their public health guidelines to remove references to the CDC.

Yes. Think of the disability costs if they acknowledged that Covid is in schools. Instead they put school staff in crowded classrooms without PPE and then when we get sick deny the existence of Long Covid. Teachers are second only to healthcare workers when it comes to Long Covid in Canada.

New review in BMJ by @nicktsergas.ca: "Why scientists are rethinking the immune effects of SARS-CoV-2" "People who are unwilling to consider the possibility of immune damage are perhaps driven by a fear of what those answers might mean." www.bmj.com/content/390/...

The same thing goes for environmental stories. If plastics recycling is so easy, why do we make such a big deal when someone actually finds a way to recycle it? For something to be an interesting news story, it has to be rare.

Sometimes you don’t even need to correspond with the author. Their email address says it all.

What people who haven’t experienced it don’t understand is that, if you’re poor, you pay with your time and your dignity. Even if the program is “free”, if it’s means-tested, you have to give up part of yourself in order to access it.

I gave Daisy her flea and tick medicine and now she’s looking at me like I’ve betrayed her entire bloodline.

When the scritches are just that good

owlsintowels.org is an absolute joy.

Chemistry: a degree in ‘will it dissolve’ 😂

Kitty cat loves a Kit(ty) Kat! (Please don’t actually let your cat get eat chocolate! I was watching her carefully to make sure that she didn’t get the package open.)

Nope! No cat, here!

Diorama kitty!

An engaged cat is a happy cat! @vetmedcorner.bsky.social

Daisy has discovered that balloons have little tails and is absolutely fascinated!

Why won’t you pet me, human?

“Are you hungry?”

I love getting to watch her problem-solve! ❤️ @vetmedcorner.bsky.social

When it’s nap time and your human tucks you in.

Excellent paper on the elevated risks of motor vehicle accidents as a result of cognitive dysfunction due to Covid-19. This, of course, applies to other skilled activities that require a fast Observe-Orient-Decide-Act (OODA) loop. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

When you just *had* to stick your head into the mug of green candy melts. 😂💚

“You weren’t reading this, were you?”

Daisy has *opinions* about icicles 😂

Just watching 😂

I have a concussion. My union is on strike. My employer still hasn’t paid me for work that I did a year ago. I’m behind on my research. I don’t get to teach. But OMG I love how she’s fascinated with the bubbles in carbonated liquids!

“Any posture can be a natural cat posture, you just need the right cat.”

Checking out her new box fort!

I, too, love pizza 😂

Nope! No cat, here! 😂

A Daisy camouflaged in her natural habitat

“Do you need help or are you happy?”

Her focus!

“I interrupt this game to inform you that your drink is making funny noises.”

She’s finally remembered how to turn the wheel with her paw instead of her face. 🤣

I have no idea how this is comfortable.

When you want to try agility, but you’re actually a cat.

Anecdotal evidence reliable? One man says “yes.”

Our fundraising campaign to develop a silent air purifier that uses off-the-shelf, non-proprietary filters has started! You can help us by sharing, making a contribution of any size or selecting a package that includes one of our DIY kits: igg.me/at/n8zLwkwyT...

I see no difference!

The best mask is the one that you actually wear.

@jonathanstea.bsky.social An interesting tidbit of pseudoscience that I’ve come across is Irlen Syndrome. It describes a real phenomenon (some people read more easily on tinted/coloured backgrounds), but the “theory” behind it is just nonsense.

I accidentally gave Daisy too much milk with her gabapentin and now she has a tiny milk beard!

If your cat is annoying you, they’re probably bored. I’d be annoying you, too, if I was stuck at your house with nothing interesting to do.

Same cat, same apple, different day 😂

Daisy and the apple she fell in love with.
