For the last several months I reduced my news intake and unfollowed a lot of stress-inducing accounts on social media. I have been happier and more relaxed. Can recommend.

Now add BIPOC to the mix.

You don’t. You can do research on working in wildlife rehab, but you’ll likely need special training, permits, and loads of vaccinations.

Why is ‘funny’ filled with people allowing their animals to be annoyed or even injured? It’s not funny.

This isn’t funny. This is awful.

OK, nice photo, but DID YOU BOOP THE SNOOT?

Not true. Also, speaking up on behalf of others is not automatically equal to virtue signalling.

OK, but it’s from Science Direct.

I’m sorry to hear you experienced that. I speak out when I see the R word in use like that. Most of the time I get laughed at, sneered at, downvoted, even kicked out of a gaming guild once. Many NT folks don’t understand the harm that using a word like that does. I imagine, just like women who go to bat for patriarchy, there are ND folks who haven’t figured it out, either. In any case, you’re not alone. I’m glad you called it out, even if you were unable to get the name banned or changed. The act of speaking up still matters.

Maybe they did, just not the right lesson.

Oh, I know. My point was that it’s obviously a higher percentage than what is reported.

Only 1 in 5?

That’s something. The silence on NASA’s socmed channels yesterday was deafening.

What a lovely bot!
