Important article! I study how wildlife is depicted on social media, BUT we shouldn't ignore how domestic animals are treated. Please don't like, or give full view, to social media posts of animals that may be distressing the animal.

So now we’re going after people who paid taxes in good faith and just ignoring the millionaires and billionaires who don’t? The country I want to live in is one where people work hard and contribute to the economy-not where bloated celebrities to walk the line of illegality to go after brown People.

Earned my dark circles after giving my first lab practical (!!!), dealing with a sick dog, and sneaking a few good deeds for the people our country is trying to deport and erase.
If you want to take peaceful & meaningful action against the current administration - contact me! I’ve got ideas!

Just gave my first lab practical exam!!! The students liked it!

Your turn! I know that if you follow me, and you’re on Blusky, you likely are liberal. What can you do to let your voice be heard? We are 100million+ strong - we have power if we use it! Doing nothing is assent.

Does anyone here have experience with dogs having hydrated disc extrusion or IVDE? Our little guy was paralyzed from the neck down (c4-c5) for a bit 2 years ago and made around 90% recovery. His proprioception is getting bad again - worried it’s returning. I’ve read it can recur, what happens next?

Hmmm, maybe we academics don’t have to worry about students using AI to write this jackass in charge.

Not trying to say I told you so, but… 2, maybe 3, Oscar nominations for this little feminist horror film 🫰🫰

My little Snow Patrol! We’ve only got 2 more layers we can add - hoping it doesn’t get too much colder

So, we rescued a kitten from under the hood of a car. Now we need to get it up to 2lbs so he(??) can go get vaccinations. (Don’t tell RFK Jr!)
How do you weigh such a tiny little guy?

Cute pet photo #3 - Brittany Lynn, founder of Philly Drag Mafia posed as Mrs Claus for a dog park fundraiser. I think little grey Milano is smitten with her!

Finally, a pick that makes sense… 🤬🤦‍♀️🙄
Teachers and academics, it’s time to stand together.

Day of two pet posts. Today we introduced Uccello (Cello) to his reflection. Sound on if you want to hear this brave little #italiangreyhound growl! 💥📢🐕‍🦺

Welcome to all the new people here! It’s a friendly place so I thought I’d share some pictures of Milano. Hope this brightens your day!

Yesterday my husband's son's school had a pro-life speaker come speak to all the kids (Catholic school - it's all we can afford in Philly). Thank not-god that I had just given a lecture on birth control and abortion, and was able to give him a proper and factual re-education...

I did something pretty cool that I want to share with you! I got to interview Majka Burhardt, professional climber, creator of the non-profit Legado, film maker, author, feminist, and now mother of twins! Here's the video - open to all!

I haven't been to the field in a while, and am missing it, so I thought I'd share something from Tsaobis Namibia where I will be starting a Nutritional Ecology project (hopefully program!) This site is so strikingly gorgeous, and the baboons are amazing. #primates #evobio #wildlife #ecology #bioanth

Dumping out my work bag after teaching female puberty and sexuality (see clitoris model). There are a lot of women who feel they have lost opportunities due to lack of access to or knowledge of tampons. But not in my class - any more! #womeninstem #academicchatter
