It's frustrating when I am on a website and find someone involved to be very interesting and worthy of following on social media. Then I notice in their bio that they are only on LinkedIn and Twitter. Both of the sites are full of racists, homophobes and I left the sites years ago. Do better people.

Somewhere around 72% of Americans believe in Climate Change. That means climate scientists have done a good job of communicating the issue. However, few people are taking any steps to curb climate change. That means those who are specialists in creating change aren't doing a good job at leading it.

The trick to keeping people oppressed is the capitalists perpetuating the idea that housing is a good investment and it's appreciation is beneficial. However, people become trapped by continual rising housing prices and thus tied to forced labor just to stay housed. Appreciation is good for the rich

I have become more distrusting of all things on the internet because of AI generated personas, images and content. What is going to become of the world when such distrust becomes imbedded and is the basis of all of our engagement? I feel sorry for the kids of the future living in a false world.

Anyone not mad as hell and not willing to call their representative today to express their anger and desire to have him removed is only permitting this to continue.

Without a pebble the ripple in the pond would not exist. Be the pebble.

We aren't going to cut methane emissions and deforestation with a few million people reducing their meat consumption by a few ounces a week. The scale of the issue requires a response that actually makes an impact. Going vegan is the only true action that will result in the change necessary. #vegan

The scale of the systems involved in climate change, deforestation, plastic proliferation, animal exploitation, water demise, and more are immense. Changing them requires more than a mere cutting back. True change involves abrupt large scale cuts to the systems and all that drive them. Be the change

If you want a true example of someone who knows the science of climate change and lives in a manner fitting to the issue then you should follow Peter Kalmus @climatehuman.bsky.social . He's the only scientist who walks the talk to exemplify the way we should all be living to curb climate change.

What exactly does Skydance own now? Everything from Paramount Pictures, Pluto TV and CBS to CNN, Cartoon Network and Warner Bros Studios. Read more: thedesk.net/tag/skydance/

I am sitting in the lobby as my friend is getting cataract surgery. A guy in his 70's just walked in wearing a Trump MAGA hoodie. I am doing all I can to bite my tongue and not yell at him. It's amazing people are still supporting Trump. BTW, I am in Boise, Idaho where it's full of MAGA.

Bluesky won't allow me to unfollow CNN so my only option is to block them.

Veganism is about ending the use and exploitation of animals though its impact goes further than that. It influences peoples beliefs, thoughts, actions and ideals about the world in which they live. Join today and let's change the world.

Adaptation is critical as we confront climate change. Going vegan is one adaptation that will preserve biodiversity, forests, land, water and curb methane production. Upon a search of Bsky it appears that the only people talking about veganism are vegan themselves and not the climate community. Why?

Any other vegans out there who want to be added to the Starter Pack? Reply here or DM me. #vegan #goingvegan #climatechange #climate #animals go.bsky.app/HnD2Mw2

The amount of land and resources going into feeding animals instead of people is quite disproportionate. From a rational stand point anyone who sees this would say that going vegan would be the most effective way of getting their nutrients. Going vegan is adaptation. 🥦🫛 mosoy.org/about-soybea...

Methane has a significant impact upon our climate but there's less talk about cutting it compared to CO2. Animal ag is a leading contributor to the methane levels from cows and can easily be cut by people going vegan. The only barrier to going vegan is willingness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3aH...

Imagine using a Nazi GrokAI nudifying white supremacist cyber truck to campaign for senate. Todd Achilles @achillesid.bsky.social has one. I have seen it driving around the Boise area. It's quite disturbing. @idaholark.bsky.social @sisyphus43.bsky.social @idahocole.bsky.social

Why can't I unfollow CNN? Every time I unfollow Bsky automatically refollows them. I have tried over 30 times.

Ending this cruelty requires someone to be openminded and willing to change their relationship with animals and the planet. Going vegan won't save all of them but it will save a few. Even more will be saved from the cruelty and death of more people go vegan.

So, how did I start my morning? I pulled a plant-based food product out of my freezer and cooked it. As I was eating it for breakfast I decided to look the company up to see what other products they had. I learned they had went out of business a couple years ago. I didn't check the Eat By date. 🙃

Funny how advocating for people to buy EVs to curb climate change is good but advocating for veganism is extreme. We must work to stop biodiversity loss, deforestation and climate change. Going vegan is one solution and the only barrier to adopting it is a willingness to do so.

A climate scientists admits the connection between climate change and animal ag doesn't matter. Going vegan will save animals from pain, suffering and an unnecessary death while also protecting biodiversity and the climate. Going vegan is the least a person should do if they want to make change.

People are conditioned to exploit, use, abuse and kill animals just to satisfy their need for protein. No animal should suffer when we have a choice to go vegan.

It's amazing how those in the past spoke of the future like they had already lived in it. This is an animated cartoon from 1973 by The National Film Board of Canada with commentary by Dr. Fred H. Knelman. Give it a watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5JY...

Do people think of this as they eat their seafood dinner? There's no need to kill animals. #vegan #biodiversity

This has always confused me. Why do we not see or hear climate scientists and environmental groups telling people to go vegan? #vegan #climate #environment #animals #deforestation

Tillis admits that he used AI to search for information during the Smith testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. I hope he was able to sort through the AI slop before using that information.

Would you trust a doctor who ate their patients? #goingvegan #vegan

Anyone else enjoy watching the Red Green Show? I wish they still produced it. www.youtube.com/@RedGreenTV

So much talk about carbon capture and the importance of reducing deforestations. Animal agriculture is the primary driver of deforestation with 95% of it occurring in the tropics for grazing and soy crops to feed livestock. Going vegan is the key solution to it. ourworldindata.org/drivers-of-d...

I finally deleted my Meta (Facebook / Instagram) accounts today. I have struggled with their business practices for years but I continued to use the FB Marketplace to sell my stuff locally. Though it came a time that I couldn't consciously support their shady business any longer. I am happier now.

People justify their use of animals as long as the animal was treated humanely. However, there's nothing kind or compassionate about the way we treat animals especially when there's no necessity to them being enclosed, used, exploited, mistreated and killed. The only way to be humane is to go vegan.

I have fought for over a year to delete my Facebook acct but I have been stuck using Marketplace to sell stuff. Craigslist was once the go to spot for the exchange of goods and services but lost people to FB Marketplace. I have decided that from today forward I will only use Craigslist to sell on.

Do we have an equivalent to Bernstein and Woodward doing investigative work right now? There must be enough going that's worthy of a scandal story about our current administration.

Trump shows more interest in renaming things than improving the lives of people in the US and around the world. He's one corrupt mother fucker. Yes, I use harsh language towards Trump because he's deserving of it and anything less minimizes his true character.

For 33 of my 59 yrs I have been vegan. I grew up raising, abusing and slaughtering cows, chickens, sheep, ducks, racing horses, racing pigeons, and geese. At the time it was a normal way of living even though I felt it wasn't right. Once I left home I learned there was a different way of living.

Infrastructure density is important to making this possible. Sprawl in the US extends the comfortable biking distance such that people aren't able or willing to bike to regular destinations. www.iamexpat.nl/lifestyle/li...

Merely switching to electric cars isn't going to fix the problem with cars. We must look at different ways of building our infrastructure so that we aren't dependent upon a 2 ton box of metal to move a 150 pound person. #biking #mobility #carfree

People are foolish to think that politicians of any sort or corporations will save us from Climate Change. The corps only interest is profits and keeping their preferred politicians in office. It takes individuals banding together to change our way of life to be more sustainable. Be the change...

Just signed up for Reddit and learned it's not as helpful as people seem to say it is. I am trying to find information and insights into VOIP services and one post was deleted because I am new there. Then a second attempt was thwarted and people are not permitted to suggest VOIP providers. Confused🙃

This is just one of trillions of animals tortured each year. The poor being is suffering from the hot water being poured on it. It's frustrating to know that nearly everyone is against cruelty upon animals but they won't go vegan and continue to pay people to inflict suffering and death upon animals

Hey kids of today... Your future is fucked!!!

People MUST STOP making excuses for Trump by saying he's an idiot, a child, old, senile, confused and other reasons. He's a grown ass man who's intentionally malicious, greedy, dishonest, petty, arrogant, deceptive, retaliatory, criminal, maleficent and more.

I keep seeing everyone making soft shoe comments regarding Trump and it infuriates me. He's not a child nor an idiot. He's a grown ass man who's intentional about being malicious, greedy, dishonest, petty, arrogant, deceptive, retaliatory, criminal and more. Call him out for who and what he is!!!
