It's essential to add here that livestock farming, including cattle, is THE biggest cause of nature loss on Earth. While in certain situations seasonal grazing by tiny numbers of cattle can be beneficial (called 'conservation grazing'), this is *highly* exceptional. The vast majority kills nature.

Glan is grazed only once a year (in early winter) by our Dexter cattle, which gives all the wild plants time to seed out first, and finches and other small birds get to feed on seed heads. It's a 'work in progress', but is clearly already delivering for nature!

"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

It’s not your fault you’re disabled. It’s not your fault you’re chronically ill. It’s not your fault you’re living in poverty, lacking health insurance, homeless or unemployed. The billionaire class wants us to believe these are moral failings so they don’t have to help people. We should help.

Our failure to take these lessons and implement them to build a better future has doomed us all There was no reason not to adopt clean air standards, masking in healthcare & permanent work from home “Back to normal” isn’t working…. And the longer we deny it the more we suffer.

Early COVID mitigations showed us the power of collective action. The environment began to heal. People with disabilities were accommodated. An entire flu strain was eradicated. Folks reconnected with their local communities. We worked together & saved lives.

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

The rage people come at vegans/vegetarians with always completely baffled me (vegetarian since age 10) until I saw it enacted with people yelling at maskers, too. If you know your choice is ethically off, or you have a rigid idea of acceptability , anyone choosing differently seems like a threat.

I went vegetarian at 14 and had people trying to sneak meat into my food, calling me slurs, waving pieces of ham in my face, telling me I was going to die from poor health, refusing to provide options at meals, etc, but to this day I say I'm vegan and people are like "omg, so you're JUDGY."
