Illegal cattle ranching has devastated Indigenous & small farmers’ lands in Brazil’s Amazon region that will host #COP30.

New @hrw.org report finds that world’s largest meat company, JBS, may have exported beef to the EU from these illegal sources.

No one Mill’s age should be running for office.

A "nation" built on and maintained by imperialism can never be virtuous or peaceful. (Yes, I know that means the US too.)

Gentle cabrones: Join me in conversation with the legendary D.J. Waldie at Alta Baja Market Oct. 25 at 1pm! We'll be talking about his career and especially his new book, "Elements of Los Angeles: Earth, Water, Air, Fire." Lecture, FREE; books, BARATO. GO GO GO and BUY BUY BUY!

You’d think they’d draw the line at troops from one state to attack citizens in another, or Orange Stain raking in billions , or the illegal tariffs. But they go for extending a plan that enriches the insurance companies while saving folks some dough on their shitty coverage. Read the fucking room.

UPDATED: One woman has been found dead in the village of Kwigillingok, where another two people remain unaccounted for, after a devastating storm battered Western Alaska over the weekend.

Not intro level, but these ideas belong in anthro 101.
Unless you teach where deans are terrified of, em, fachos.

Blakey is known for NYC’s African Burial Ground work, problematizing/erasing the idea that slavery was rare in Northern states.

So much to lose: like Gavin.
I got something in my eye rn.

Thank you, Chris.

Around here, fancy dress means jeans without holes or oil & cowhide stains. Works for women & men both, btw.

Save me some oak. I need drawer runners...

Another reason for someone to run against Jack.

I'm aiming for more than potatoes next year. Apricots and beans and chili for starters! If the bears don't get the 'cots!

Pre-urban humans hunted, even Chinese buddhist teachers (see the 6th ancestor, a hunter pre-and post-enlightenment). Humans eat meat, from time to time, but smart humans know the process, respect animals, and are grateful. Me: almost off grid. Urbanism isn’t always horrid, just not my vibe.

I find is interesting that our animal cousins sometimes get more attention than our human cousins. Meatpacking workers need to be in this conversation. Ever worked in a factory of industrial death, a meat plant? I have. The human suffering is pretty evident. Keep them in mind.

En todas las esquinas del gobierno se encuentra los fachos de Project 25. Every corner of government has fachos.

Eso.

I look at this hand-crafted beauty and I think of those oozing genAI vids with photorealistic but uncanny humanoid aggregations of digital data mimicking human beings and environments at the behest of art-hating technofascists, and it does break my heart.

Above sea level. Yep, a great option for sure.

If you eat any farmed products, you are complicit in animal death, as you know. It's a tough moral choice, & I'm glad the discussion is there. As a practicing Buddist I vowed, inter alia, to avoid killing. I applaud vegans, but live at 6800' asl. Hard to grow stuff up here on the prairie. Be well!

You gonna adopt?

My point is that not all ranching is the same. I would argue water mining for animal feed plus massive feedyards & animal death on industrial scale, plus monopoly capital, not pastoralism, is the bigger problem. Pastoral lifeways are at risk cuz of this, & the landscape, planet, & people suffer.

I love her a lot but the other guy, Graham Platner, is super. Likely has a message that will work beyond Maine. But this is for Mainers anyhow, not for us New Mexicans lol

The best stock-handlers have understood this, even before Temple Grandin. Meanwhile, while we worry about animal welfare, meatpacking workers are treated like shit by an industry that hides the damage they (not ranchers) do to humans now, and future generations.
Good grafs from HCN, as usual!
