I just published my latest article. In it, I dive into the recent FDA announcement regarding animal testing, and what's going on with the reports that EPA wants to eliminate mammalian animal testing by 2035.
Positive news for lab animals in the US!
This month, we got closer to a world without animal testing. 😍

My new article "How to be (somewhat) productive in the middle of a dumpster fire" is, surprisingly, about how to be (somewhat) productive in the midst of the current situation.

Marine Lercier, founder of ICARE, is turning 34 tomorrow. And she's celebrating in the best possible way: by giving back to the animals!

If you donate by midnight tomorrow (your time!), she will match your donation (up to $1700).

Oh, this is wild: AI facial recognition of squirrels!
🤖 AI & Animals 🦉

Did you know that AI facial recognition also applies to animals? 🐿️🤖👀

In this case, to squirrels. 🐿️

In the United Kingdom 🇬🇧, conservation groups are concerned that non-native grey squirrels would affect the survival of native red squirrels. 🐿️

Interesting discussion in the comment section!
That’s vegan 😉🦾Ⓥ ⚖️🌱

Love this quote by Kyle Cease:

Cory Booker's speech was super-impressive!

And, I'm not surprised that he happens to be vegan.

Ranting about injustices while being physically uncomfortable is literally a vegan superpower.

Cory Booker took that superpower to the next level. And the level after that.

It makes me really sad when people think the best days are behind them.

What if our best days are in front of us? What if life could continue to get better and better?

Yeah, mine is "I care about other people, animals, and the planet" and that makes people even madder.

Just saw that my vegan Substack newsletter now has 118 subscribers. 🥳

Very happy about that... I remember when 100 felt so far away.

(Reminder that there's an awesome vegan community on Substack. Come join us, if you're a blogger or someone who likes to read blogs. 🤗)

My thoughts on holding on to hope in the midst of all this. 🌻
I can relate. I have hope that all this cruelty will create a counter-reaction that is in alignment with the more beautiful world we dream of.

An arrow needs to be pulled back to fly. Perhaps this is the phase where a better world is gathering momentum through the resistance we encounter.

Such a great idea!
