It's unusual to see a bloody face on a polar bear this time of year. Our bears are current nearing the end of their over 140 day fast waiting for Hudson Bay to freeze. This bear, however, must have found an unsuspecting seal along the shore. Definitely a bonus. #BearSeason2025 #mammals 🌿

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.
Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50.
“Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.
