This is a vacuous take.

If you *choose* to eat animals & their products, please don't cling to the fantasy/cope that this is necessary for health/survival.

The fact that most adults don’t know that cows need to be pregnant in order to lactate is all that needs to be said about how well of a job the dairy industry has done at hiding the truth. All the gov’t subsidized commercials with a happy dairy cow and a farmer with a pail? LOL

So we're gonna artificially impregnate 1000+ lb mammals, abduct their calves & put them in a little cage & take the milk meant for them, turn it into fuel for some reason and call it 'low-carbon.' Very very logical

I rarely if ever see liberal arts students cry about having to take math classes but virtually every engineering student who is going to enter into a six figure career cries because they have to take demanding courses like “How to Read” and “Some Stuff That Happened In The Past”

liberal arts classes are mostly about 'you should be able to communicate complex ideas in writing' and this kills arrogant students who feel they should not have to learn this skill and when they get a poor mark on a thesis-less, passive voice-filled ramble they blame it on bias

Excited to publish this by neuroscientist Garet Lahvis on the limits of the primate testing paradigm. Lab monkeys are so mentally damaged & driven insane from confinement in tiny cages that it's absurd to think they can be healthy controls or model human minds

nooooo RIP Paul Reubens

Lots of folks will talk about Pee Wee Herman, but my favorite role of his was Spleen in Mystery Men

“I have always felt a huge amount of love and respect from my friends, fans and supporters. I have loved you all so much and enjoyed making art for you.”- Paul Reubens
We loved you right back, Paul... & can't thank you enough for the lifetime of laughter!
#RIP

It breaks my heart to hear that Paul Reubens died. He was one of the kindest souls I’ve known. We worked together on Mosaic (in this picture I was an extra - playing his husband). Every year since, I’d hear from him on my birthday & on every holiday. He was a good good sweet man.

Officer Kyle Davis from Indiana is under arrest for trying to film a young teen girl at his home while she was in the restroom.
After being busted Kyle tried to blame the recording on his son.

1/ Today, after driving 90 min (ea. way) for my mammo. & breast u/s appointment, I had to leave WITHOUT completing this crucial screening process b/c the u/s tech refused to wear an N95, even though I provided multiple, indiv. wrapped options. Why it matters & what I plan to do:

The vast majority of the people on here are kind.

There is however a not insignificant amount of people who think cruelty is a game.

People who default to hate and are so small and hurt they want to poison everyone else.

My mentions are filled with them.

Their profiles are…

kaiserKenny It's because I asked for help when my kid was lost yes.

It's because I asked for help in a moment when every minute could have counted and every interaction could be helpful yes.

It's because I asked for help while I was sitting next to the police waiting because they didn't…

Are the Boston police okay?
