It continues to be interesting to me just how many men, when presented with a clear and obvious answer to a test of morality and empathy, will nevertheless choose to "devil's advocate" themselves into a position of complete assholery

Puerto Rico is in a water crisis, as a US board slashes the island's social/infrastructure spend to protect corporate bondholders, and a developer tries to build a $2.5B private city on acres of untouched coastline. As one councilmember explains, much of this exploitation can be traced back to NYC.

Herpetology is very much a white and male field because of racism. There's no getting around that. Historically and presently Black people were/are not seen as knowledge holders and contributors by the academy.

Can you #FindThatLizard?! 🦎 Lizards pant to cool themselves off when temperatures get too high! All animals need ways to cool down, lizards included, because they can overheat. Humans sweat, birds bathe or swim, and pigs roll in mud. So it makes sense that lizards would have a cooling strategy.

I would like to point out that the local people in Bolivia were already familiar with the new cat species, traditionally calling it "Tilcayo", a name honored by the scientists who carried it over into the formal scientific name Leopardus tilcayo.

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton

The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”
