Half of our agricultural land is used for beef that provides 3% of our calories. Nobody likes it when I bang my spoon on my high chair about this but eventually we need to grapple with it.
80% of agricultural land is used for livestock (and textiles), yet this huge land use provides only 17% of our calories and 38% of our protein.
16% of the land used for crops provides 83% of our calories and 62% of our protein. It's past time we rethink what we eat.

Dear friends,
Psy-ops are now underway here on Bluesky. There’s a flood of “both parties are the same” and “Dems are beholden to their donors alone” and “Dems are in Israel’s pocket” bots that have dramatically increased.
Report, block, do NOT engage. It just amplifies their messaging.

Je’Vion Benham had so much more life to live. On Christmas Eve, his mother drove from Iowa to Georgia after being told her 21-year-old son had died in prison custody, only to be met with a body so badly decomposed she could barely recognize him. No mother should endure that pain!

Women of a certain age in certain states, I’m just going to remind you that you can get hormones. Estrogen. Testosterone. All used to treat menopause. Via the internet.
And there are trans folks losing gender affirming care.
These two things are just coincidentally contained in the same post.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
