PSA for cat owners in the US: cats have been contracting H5N1 (bird flu). They are very susceptible to it and the fatality rate for cats is 67%. To avoid it:

-keep your cats indoors. They can catch it from infected birds and mice.

-do not feed them raw dairy

-do not feed them raw meat

I recently started trying to keep plants alive and I didn't realize that eventually I'd have to punish the plants by hacking off the parts that were growing too well. What kind of sick hobby is this

also please remember that if you are going to get pets as “gifts”, do your research so you know that you can take care of them !! STOP BUYING PETS FOR CHRISTMAS JUST TO ABANDON THEM OR PUT THEM IN SHELTERS TO POSSIBLY DIE. thank you 🙂‍↕️

I wish eating a pomegranate wasn’t a full blown extra curricular activity. I love eating them but god who has an hour to eat one fruit?

This is a great figure. For all the doom & gloom about climate inaction, we have made a big dent over the past 25 years.

What started out as 3.5-4°C increase by 2100 is now down to 2-3°C. Of course, more work is urgently needed but this is progress! We don't let up now. h/t @hausfath.bsky.social

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

HUMANS!

Crumbl cookies took off because the cookies were pretty and look appetizing. But realistically, them mfs dry and taste like they were baked in an EZ Bake oven with Dasani water in the batter. I’d rather pop 3 Popeyes biscuits directly into my throat in the middle of the desert.

Good news for California—Prop 4 has passed! 🎉 This important win means crucial funding for wildfire prevention, wildlife protection, and clean drinking water for California. The Aquarium’s 40-year journey of advocating for ocean health wouldn’t be possible without our amazing supporters like you.

The thing that really differentiates Bluesky is that it doesn’t feel like it was designed by a bunch of people who will lose their jobs if I spend a little less time on Bluesky.

i know a lot of people are like "live for spite!!!" and i 100% support that if that's what keeps you going but if it doesn't work for you you can live for a variety of reasons, including "read book that isn't out yet", "love", "step on a crunchy leaf", "look at the river", "pat a creature" etc

If struggling to feed yourself, foodbank is king

Asian markets usually have the best prices in town for vegetables and cooking spices.

Rice and beans are your friend, and easy to flavor

Frozen are good and cheaper than fresh vegetables.

Dairy goes far nutritionally

Want Meat? Chicken.
