#HabitatLoss 🚨

Reminder: #LIVESTOCK farming is the leading driver of deforestation & biodiversity loss. The most important action we can take for animals, other humans & the planet is to live vegan 💚⚖️

The climate predictions that were wrong were the ones by the contrarians/deniers during the post-1998 “hiatus”. They said temperatures would start to fall as part of a natural cycle.

Zeke Hausfather @hausfath.bsky.social · 21d

In a UN speech today, President Trump said that "all of these [climate] predictions were wrong".

Back in 2019 I led a research effort to digitize old climate model projections and assess how well they did. Turns out they got future warming pretty spot on!

Like a mystical character fr a children’s book, w his fuzzy ears, scrunched up face & teeny tiny peg legs 🥰 Can you believe Squidgy almost ended up on someone’s plate? 🥺

It’s heartbreaking to know how many equally unique individuals aren’t so lucky, but for those who are, they still need our help👇🏻🙏🏻

These people will never face any kind of consequences. But we will. And for a very long time.
Engage your brain and then engage your rage towards the problem, not the distraction.

A photograph of a group of reform politicians. Including: Richard Tice, Fuhrer Farage, 30p Lee and two others I don’t care to know. There are 5 males in total and 1 woman, with Fuhrer central smiling with his hands out. The red are all in some form of smile except 30p Lee who is most likely wondering where he is and what party is paying him today. Text from the top to the middle says:
‘A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking to punish, to revile, to dehumanise. They’re empty without that.

If you're eating meat, you're eating someone else's flesh

That someone had skin, a heart, a brain, pain receptors, lungs, eyes, feelings, etc

They didn't want to be killed anymore than I would

We can get our nutrients 1st hand through plants, rather than stealing them from someone else's body

He can wallow, but he can’t hide 🫣 No amount of mud could conceal Squidgy’s cuteness ☺️🐷🤎

Support needed. Becoming a #Pigoneer for as little as $3.50/month provides food & security for the lucky few who escaped the hell that is our cruel & outdated food system. It really seems the least we can do x

Nelson is one of the breeding boars rescued from the illegal slaughterhouse. We were warned not to take the boars as they'd be too dangerous & difficult.

We gave them respect & they showed us kindness 🩷

1. There has been a major effort by that old combination – big business and the far right – to diss foods derived from plants. The meat lobby invests big time in misinformation. And the far right hates “soyboys”, while associating itself with red meat-eating. It's a match made in hell. 🧵
