Dr. Ahmmad Brown & I researched inclusivity in the U.S. animal advocacy movement, before the #DEI backlash. Based on interviews w/ BIPOC individuals in/outside the movement (plus org leaders), & research on 200+ orgs, our latest @faunalytics.bsky.social report maps barriers & paths to inclusion.

🧑‍🏫 Have you ever wanted to teach animal advocates about a topic you're passionate about?

📊 @faunalytics.bsky.social is looking for scholars to submit an expert overview presentation for our remote symposium in Sept!

📅 Submit by June 20th

So glad gothic horror is back. If you really enjoyed Nosferatu and Lily Depp's performance, you should check out Penny Dreadful with Eva Green - the best of possessed Victorian ladies 👀

Did your partner or friend influence you to go vegan? In this Faunalytics study, we review the smoking cessation literature to hypothesize the peer influence of veganism! Quitting smoking & quitting meat have a lot in common, but can we expect the same social influences?

One of the saddest studies you'll ever read: 504 children (& their caregivers) in Gaza were surveyed & interviewed back in June: 49% of caregivers said that their children (72% boys vs. 26% girls) think they would die during this war.

Imagine being a uni student & using your life savings to travel to the US in hopes of gaining pro dev, but only to end up working in a factory farm where you were forced to participate in standard (cruel) industry practices for low pay & major health risks.

In love with Japan 😍

In a Faunalytics study by @andreapolanco.bsky.social, she determined that animal protection groups have a pay gap for marginalized individuals.

The study also identifies salary trends in the movement, which can prove helpful for non-profit workers advocating for themselves.

Was excited to find this book at the leftist book sale today, I wish I had come across it in grad school!

I created a starter pack of researchers studying animal advocacy, animal ethics, animal minds, animal law, plant-based and sustainable diet advocacy, and related disciplines.

Please let me know who I missed, and please let me know if I included you but you prefer to be removed.

Buffalo running.

Can you guys share this to help my old followers find me?

I really depend on the old site for sales but don’t want my work used to train AI.

One of the wildest details to me behind the escaped monkey story: There's a colony of wild macaques on an island in South Carolina that the federal govt uses as a reservoir for lab monkeys, allowing a private company to oversee it & pluck monkeys for medical testing

“Many research technicians… go into the field of animal research to help the animals, yet their day-to-day work ends up being the killing of animals or being complicit in creating pain, distress, disease, and other noxious states demanded by the research Enterprise.”
