Since I just went on a following spree, and this place is so kind and mutual, maybe a brief intro is in order!
I'm Ryan, a Wildlife Control Operator for Va. I've got certificates and training out my ass for related topics. AudHD so I also study in my free time!
I breed rabbits, leeches and snails.

Figured I'd post here too in case any local folk see! In Va, right near Richmond.
I have a velveteen lop doe who needs a new home. She's not right for our breeding program but would make an amazing pet! She is super sweet.
Let me know if you'd like more information!

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

One has to wonder how RPD uses this cameras and others as part of their “real time crime center” to surveil protestors
Richmond PD paid ~$400k to Flock Safety, a private surveillance tech firm, to install cameras and mics all over the city for license-plate reading and gunshot detection. Underscoring how unavoidable these devices are, here’s one of the mics at the beginning of the march.

Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.
The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.
Measles cases continue to surge globally, putting millions of children at risk.
More than 10 million people globally were infected with measles in 2023, a 20% increase from the previous year.

“For whatever reason, people of color have a higher incidence of maternal mortality."
This is a rather telling statement. Nearly a third of women in Louisiana are Black. www.businessinsider.com/gop-senator-...
Maternal death rate isn't as bad if you don't count Black women, GOP senator says
Louisiana's Bill Cassidy said the state's maternal death rate isn't so high if you "correct our population for race," Politico reported.

When cities clear homeless encampments, workers often take people’s belongings — including important documents, survival gear and irreplaceable mementos.

Under fascism, no one is safe.
Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.
Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.
Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.
