Turns out, cliques & specimen restrictions, are perpetrated chiefly by high-profile researchers and target early careers. I do wonder if famed academics know, they're hurting & wasting young talent. Or do they marinate in arrogance & self importance?

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Hey, instead of yelling at people about not using Alt text, if it's really important with you, post the alt text in comments.
Accessibility is important, yes, but let's not forget that people have different levels of energy to provide them.
It is not always malicious intent.

i think the accessibility features on bluesky are great but because i don't use the platform often, i always forget they're there. whenever i post my art, i post the same thing on all my socials at the same time, so it's a lot of copypasting.

At some point the international community, not just protesters, will have to ENFORCE an end to coal, oil and eventually gas. By military means, if necessary. Why? To protect their national interests from an economy-destroying climate. When? Sooner than we think.

Yesterday we had a special #MonkeyCruise stream in honor of Jane Goodall! Her contributions to primatology and our understanding of animal intelligence changed the worldview of whole generations and her caring and critical voice will be missed.
