RIP Jane Goodall. I feel like it's shortchanging her legacy to focus only on her work with chimpanzees when her compassion extended to ALL animals. One of the best ways you can honor & continue her legacy is to incorporate more plant based meals into your life. ❤️ news.janegoodall.org/2017/04/28/w...

Why I Went Plant-Based (And Why We Should All Eat Less Meat)

Dr. Goodall went plant-based after confronting what that meat represents: pain. Since, she learned more reasons why the work to #eatmeatless is important.

Anyone looking for more context on Riyadh comedy situation, may I highly recommend Seth Simons' newsletter www.humorism.xyz He's been closely covering various troubling aspects of comedy scenes for years & this development is sadly not surprising to those of us who've been reading his essential work

Humorism

A newsletter about labor, inequality, and extremism in comedy.

Got a hug from Gary Gulman last night. He also gave us $20 and four drink tickets for sitting in the front row. What a mensch!

The Age of Corporate Capitulation Won’t Work

Donald Trump came for Jimmy Kimmel. Disney folded immediately. It’s not just bad morals. It’s bad business.

Current Affairs @currentaffairs.bsky.social · Sep 3

Issue 55 is here! It's a very special edition of Current Affairs, with every article devoted to animal welfare.

We’ve recruited leading scholars and activists to lend their voices in this issue, but we’ve done it with the signature Current Affairs satirical and artistic flair.
