Yeah I have to prune back the spiderplants or else they can rip them down. This pot is heavy so they can't really do that. Mischievous creatures!

This article is so haunting. Even in war, forced famine, and genocide, people turn to their animals.

I can still remember hearing Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant describe us as “human animals.” The phrase was meant to strip Palestinians of our dignity.

But it failed.

Neither we nor our animals should endure this cruelty. And yet, even under genocide, we carry our animals with us. We keep them alive, just as they keep us alive. What Israel’s leaders cannot understand is this: Our bond with animals is the deepest proof of our humanity. We are bombed together, starved together, displaced together. Yet we do not abandon one another. Our love for them, their love for us, is humanity in its purest form.

Forget King Kong, forget Spinosaurus. In honor of the 120th anniversary of the naming of Tyrannosaurus rex...we’re going to bash our cheap plastic dinosaur toys together and talk about a fight between T. rex and Triceratops.

Yeah. Exercise intolerance is very common due to what we call "brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome." It's like they're trying to breathe through a soda straw all the time.

That part was mind-boggling, none of this makes sense

Cleaning the folds, eye gunk, ears, and pocket alone takes like 10-15 minutes a day

If there’s one dog breed that has a reputation for being lazy, it’s probably the bulldog. English Bulldogs are larger, while French Bulldogs are smaller and more compact.

No disrespect, but no dog breed is "low maintenance." You have to manage their health, nutrition, exercise, and social needs every day for 12-15+ years. If you want a low-maintenance domestic organism, might I recommend getting a houseplant?

I mean that seems pretty obvious if you were on here for the last two weeks, but it's never been "great" except "marginally better than a Nazi website."

Zoognosis with Joy! @zoognosisjoy.bsky.social · 2d

Seriously! If I wanted to post on some petty feifdom with a power mad libertarian mod, I'd go back to Reddit.

Well, the situation on Bluesky is rapidly deteriorating, which sucks ass because I like the people here. I'll post videos to my YouTube when I can. Would anyone be interested if I start a written blog to post my random screencaps and research notes?

Jordan Peterson is a Canadian right-wing pseudointellectual ex-psychologist. He wrote Maps of Meaning and 12 Rules for Life. He got famous opposing Bill C-16, which added gender identity and gender as protected classes under Canada's constitution. His daughter is an "influencer" for beef-only diets.

Zoognosis with Joy! @zoognosisjoy.bsky.social · 3d

I'm Canadian too. I bet the elites will mourn him and everyone else will laugh. He's an utter disgrace. Literally got famous by opposing Bill C-16.

Zoognosis with Joy! @zoognosisjoy.bsky.social · 3d

Apple cider vinegar got him 😔

Every time I bring up Peterson, my little brother takes it as an opportunity to talk smack about Fairview, Alberta, the wretched burg whenceforth Peterson was vomited forth onto a weary world.
