On #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience, this article stings after a career marked by sexual assaults, sexual harassment, stalking, work hijacked, and ideas stolen. Most recently, my married Prof asked me out for dinner. I said no. He refused to give me a reference. #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

For the love of animals, people, and the planet, be like Meryl and learn how to vote #Australia #AusPol! We have a preferential voting system, so if you vote for AJP, Greens, ethical Independents, they WILL win seats to hold #ALP #LNP fuckers accountable until enough people vote them a major party.

BRADLEY O'REILLY #MidlandBacon #CaragCarag #Australia had charges of bestiality against him dropped despite being caught on film raping #Pigs confined in a #Piggery because #AnimalWelfare activists filming #AnimalCruelty is a worse crime than actually committing it.🐖 www.news.com.au/national/cri...

Today, as we mark International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we're honouring our founder, Dr. Jane Goodall. Her groundbreaking wild chimpanzee study – and her observations that chimpanzees make tools, form deep social bonds, and experience emotions – challenged long-held scientific beliefs.

A lot of food politics makes more sense if you understand it as an ongoing set of battles between incumbent and emergent interest groups trying to shape the market to their advantage.

Why are #Chicken people blocking me? I love #Chickens!? I fight for their #AnimalRights #AnimalWelfare! Is this a cognitive dissonance thing? #Confused 😵‍💫🐔❤️

In #Australia, the welfare of #Chickens and all #Livestock #FarmAnimals is the responsibility of the state departments of primary industries or agriculture. It's like handing a cannibal a knife and fork. We need an independent Office of #AnimalWelfare. ⬇️

#Chickens are intelligent, loving animals who are wonderful mothers and friends. My friends' #Hens follow me like the Pied Piper, peck my legs gently, and purr/trill like #Cats when they trust and love you. They all have individual personalities. They deserve better #AnimalWelfare. Please help.🐔💘🥰✍️⬇️

🚨 If you do not have an #Emergency #Evacuation plan for your #Dogs #Cats #Birds #PocketPets #Reptiles #Livestock #Pets #Animals **DO ONE NOW** regardless of where you live. ⚠️👉 e.g. kb.rspca.org.au/categories/c... #AnimalWelfare #EmergencyEvacuation #Preparedness #PetEmergencyPlan 🐾🆘⬇️

Bad Bunny? More like good hare. In this scene, a golden-brown hare munches on a leaf, surrounded by many smaller creatures. Look closely: a butterfly and snail rest on the fronds of a plantain, and others roam the forest floor. 🎨 A Hare in the Forest, about 1585, Hans Hoffmann. Getty Museum

Your pet fish — or bird, or hamster — is probably miserable. www.vox.com/the-highligh...

Experts say our pets have become such an important part of our lives that it's important to take a step back from responsibilities, if possible, when they are sick or dying.

This is a #ClimateFuckingEmergency. Critical keystone species like #Bats are dying to tell you PM of #Australia @albomp.bsky.social #AusPol #ClimateCriminals to stop funding anthropogenic #ClimateChange and listen to the science!!! #AnimalWelfare #Heatwave 🦇🔥🌏🌡️ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Do animals gravitate toward you without invitation? Does your dog know you are about to get their dinner? Animals are better at reading people than you think. Their survival depends on reading who is safe and how to get their needs met. ⬇️ #AnimalWelfare #HAB #Dogs 🐾 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Thanks to ABC News for including my “hot take” in this story about helping our animal companions cope in the extreme heat impacting Australia this Summer. Terrific insights from my colleague, Dr Steven Impey too: lnkd.in/gbQze564 #science #dogs #animalwelfare

Aliens are going to be confused when they arrive and try to depose our leaders and we all offer to help. #auspol

Utter stupidity once again from #AusPol who continue to ignore #Science and #FirstNations voices by executing #Dingoes who are already a genetically vulnerable and protected species. My deepest sympathy to the loved ones of #PiperJames. Rest in peace darling. 💔🕊️ www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep your #Pets indoors under the air conditioner with multiple sources of water 🐈‍⬛🐇🐦 Don't walk your #Dogs in a #Heatwave 🐾🛑🙅 Leave *multiple* sources of water in the shade & turn on sprinklers for #Wildlife and #Livestock because they can die in this heat #Australia #Auspol 🔥

This is a good new article on support for the development of new technology (in this case alt protein) as a social movement strategy. This article deftly cuts through the frequent schematic bifurcation made between activism and tech. Worth reading. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Hi followers, I’d appreciate any Australians who are filled with pain and disgust at the Domestic Violence perpetrated against women in this country take 30 seconds to sign this petition. Cheers. #auspol

If you live in #Adelaide #SA #Australia keep your #Dogs out of discoloured water and away from contaminated foam, seaweed, marine debris like fish, crabs, and sea balls BECAUSE DOGS ARE STILL GETTING SICK at the beach w/ the #AlgalBloom ➡️Rinse them off w/ fresh water. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

PLEASE keep your #Dogs at home under the air conditioning throughout the next #Heatwave #Australia. Walk them before 9am or after 7pm when the air AND surface temperatures are cooler. *Recognise the signs of heat stress*⬇️ #Heatstroke can kill within minutes. www.emergencyvet.com.au/for-vets-and...

This is Veronika.🐄⬇️ One of Veronika’s remarkable skills has previously been observed only in humans and chimpanzees. This is the first documented case of tool use in #Cows #Cattle ➡️ evidence of intelligence that hopefully results in significant improvements for #Livestock #FarmAnimal #AnimalWelfare.
