You are standing in a forest.

The forest is full of rabbits. Hundreds of them. You have a reliable means of catching them. You are catching and eating them every day, as many as you need, as many as you can consume. You are eating nothing but rabbit. Protein in every meal. More protein than most people eat in a month.

You are dying.

Not from starvation in the conventional sense. Not from lack of food. From a specific and documented metabolic failure that the Arctic explorers who encountered it called rabbit starvation, and that the Plains Indians who had encountered it long before any European arrived had understood well enough to have a practical rule about it: you do not eat lean meat alone. If the animal is too lean, you do not eat it at all until you find fat.

What happens: the liver can only process a certain amount of protein per day. Pure lean protein, consumed in large quantities with insufficient fat, overwhelms that capacity.

The body has no mechanism for storing excess protein; it attempts to process all of it, and the processing consumes B vitamins, generates ammonia as a metabolic byproduct, and eventually produces a cluster of symptoms: nausea, diarrhoea, headache, increasing weakness, that worsen rather than improve the more you eat.

The brain interprets this as starvation because at the cellular level it functionally is, regardless of the volume of food being consumed.

Lewis and Clark documented it. In their journals. The passages describing the periods when they were subsisting primarily on lean game: deer that were too thin, lean season meat, describe increasing weakness and what they called a gnawing hunger that eating more did not resolve. The men ate and were still hungry because the hunger was not for protein. It was for fat.

The Plains Indians would not eat lean animals. Full stop. If a buffalo was killed and found to be too thin: late in the hard season, insufficient body fat, the meat would be given to the dogs. A practical policy based on generations of observational data about what happens when you eat lean meat without fat, and the answer is that you decline rather than improve.

Vilhjalmur Stefansson, who spent years living on Arctic meat diets, documented the same thing. The Inuit would not eat lean meat alone. The fat was not a luxury component of the meal. The fat was the point. The meat without the fat was not food in any functional sense.

Two to three pounds of properly fatted meat per day.
That's it. That's enough. That's more than enough.
The hunger disappears. The energy is stable. The body doesn't ask for anything else.

The idea that you need more protein, that you should strip the fat for leanness, that a chicken breast is the optimal form of animal food: that idea is so recently constructed, so perfectly inverted from everything the humans who ate animal food for 2.5 million years understood, that I genuinely don't know whether to be impressed by the achievement or depressed by the scale of it.

In the 1980s, whilst head of Islington Council, Margaret Hodge ignored reports of a paedophile ring operating in council-run children’s homes.

She was later appointed as Labour’s Minister for Children.

No, I’m not making that up.

[Dr. Dr. P: A "dreadful, middle-aged woman" @Psychgirl211]

And this is 'she'.

This is the 6 foot 2 inch, 300lb 'woman' who raped three cellmates.

This is the person who must be described as s/her by the women whom he raped and impregnated.

This is transgenderism.

Everyone knows Britain was part of the slave trade. 🇬🇧

What you don't hear enough is who ended it.

Slavery didn't start with Britain. It started over five thousand years ago.

Africa's own slave trade ran for over a thousand years, before a single European ship arrived.

The Arab world traded slaves for over thirteen centuries.

Every empire in history was built on it. Nobody had ever ended it.

Britain did.

A law was passed. A date was set. August the first. Eighteen thirty-four.

Eight hundred thousand people would be free.

And when midnight came... They were all free.

The largest act of emancipation in human history.

A five-thousand-year-old system. Ended. Because the British people said so.

One minute it was the final day of a family holiday in Whitby.

The next, a three-year-old little girl was sinking into thick harbour mud.

Her mum didn’t hesitate. She rushed straight in and pulled her daughter free, but within seconds she was trapped herself, boots locked in place, mud rising to her knees and panic setting in fast.

Two passers-by ran over to help. They too became bogged down. Realising the danger, they stayed close, kept her calm, and someone dialled 999.

Whitby Coastguard, North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue and supporting crews were on scene quickly. What followed wasn’t drama for headlines, it was calm, skilled teamwork. Using a spade, a plank of wood and even a signboard borrowed from a local fisherman, they methodically dug and levered the pair out. Daughter first. Then mum.

Around 30 minutes later, both were completely unharmed.

The mum later described the emergency crews as “real-life heroes” who “literally saved my life and my daughter’s life,” praising not just the rescue but the care and reassurance afterwards.

And this is exactly why we share these stories.

The mainstream media often seems obsessed with pushing negative narratives about our former colleagues i.e. the mistakes, the controversies, the worst-case moments. But that is not the full picture. Day in, day out, emergency workers across this country are quietly preventing tragedies, protecting families and bringing people home safely.

We’ve had enough of the one-sided negativity. 💙💚❤️🧡💜

@PBatemanPilt5z @hell_line0 Actually Elduardo,

Abortion is about men having sex without complications for them

It's not about women or their choices

It's about realising the fantasies of pathetic men that historically would never have a chance to find a woman willing to marry them

[Irish Mudder @IMudder]

@hell_line0 Hi girl, dealing with ectopic pregnancy is not abortion

Pretending that killing 1,000 children in the womb because 1 of them was conceived in rape is a kindness is some sort is insane

Oh, & more girl babies are aborted than boy babies so this isn't about choices for women

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

Right. Chicken.

I don't want to have this argument, but here we are.

Chicken became the flagship protein of the health movement somewhere in the late 1980s and never really had to justify itself after that. It just... stayed. Low fat, high protein, endlessly versatile, allegedly perfect. The non-negotiable centre of every meal prep container that has ever been photographed on Instagram next to a jar of overnight oats.

Here's the issue. Chicken is what it eats. And what commercial chicken eats is soy, corn, and grain: a fat profile that is disproportionately omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, concentrated predominantly in the skin and fat. That fat is linoleic acid. And linoleic acid, consumed consistently, integrates into your cell membranes and adipose tissue, where it oxidises, produces inflammatory byproducts, and sits there doing exactly that for the better part of two years.

You cannot out-cardio your cell membrane composition.

Beef fat is saturated. It is stable at cooking temperatures. It does not oxidise into aldehydes when you fry it. It has been part of the human food supply since before we had cooking and before we had agriculture and before we had anyone to tell us whether it was healthy, because back then the benchmark was simply whether you were still alive.

Long-term carnivores figure the chicken thing out around year two. They can't always articulate what's wrong: digestion isn't quite right, energy is inconsistent, something is off. They remove chicken. Things settle. They stand in the kitchen holding a packet of mince with the quiet look of someone who has just understood a joke they heard years ago.

The chicken was not the hero it was cast as.

It was just the most photogenic protein available at the time.

The idea of a child psychopath makes everyone uncomfortable. The finality and futility of the situation flys in the face of presumed childhood innocence.

They terrorize their parents and siblings. They kill pets.

A simple grocery trip to the store turns to horror when one child decides to take their hands and smother their infant brother because the crying “annoyed them.”

Siblings often report being molested as the child sneaks into their rooms at night.

Fires are started. Serious injuries requiring hospitalization happen *repeatedly* as this child takes over the entire household.

We don’t even have the legal structure to handle them.

Often parents are caught in a bind.

The child is too dangerous to have in the home, and CPS will be called for abuse of the siblings.

But if they find new housing they’ll be charged with “child abandonment”

Often parents resort to simply putting locks on all the doors and never leaving this child alone with any of the others to the best of their ability. Or relinquishing their parental rights.

Eventually these kids end up in Juvenile with a serious charge and most of them have an adult charge by the time they’re 16.

And then once they’re 18 years old psychologists feel comfortable labeling them “Antisocial personality disorder”, also known as the psychopath.

Can they be rehabilitated? I’ve never seen a single case of it occurring.

My understanding is they essentially have brain damage in the empathy and remorse centers of their brains, which severely limit their ability to “feel bad” when they hurt others.

And they also have predatory proclivities and take pleasure in hurting others.

And I will continue to encourage the psychology community to finally have the courage to call a spade a spade, or at a minimum, start educating the public about what “conduct disorder” actually entails.

108 babies born alive after abortion and left to die

47 over 24 weeks and/or 500g
4 with no diagnosis of major abnormality

TDs warned of this risk pre-repeal but were dismissed as using shock tactics

If a child is born alive, that child must receive appropriate medical treatment and dignity, regardless of circumstance. This demands a transparent and independent inquiry and a statement in the Dáil.

Breaking news for anyone who hasn't worked this out yet:

Cows are vegan.

No, stay with me.

The cow eats the grass. The clover. The herbs. The wildflowers. The diverse, mineral-rich, organically grown plant matter from the field.

The cow then, and this is where it gets interesting, converts all of that plant material into complete protein, bioavailable heme iron, zinc, B12, fat-soluble vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, creatine, and carnosine.

Using its four stomachs. Which are considerably better at this than yours.

So technically, the most efficient way to eat a plant-based diet is to let a cow do it first.

The cow is the blender.

The cow is doing the processing you cannot do yourself.

When you eat beef, you are eating a hyperconcentrated, biologically optimised, grass-powered superfood that a vegan has been assembling for you in a field for eighteen months.

You're welcome.

[The Curious Tales @thecurioustales]

The science of fetal microchimerism should have broken the internet by now.

It hasn’t.

When I read about a research I was so curious to know what’s actually happening.

Fetal cells — carrying the child’s own DNA — cross into the mother’s bloodstream during pregnancy and never fully leave. They embed into her organs. Her heart muscle. Her brain tissue.

Researchers have found a child’s living cells inside mothers in their 90s, from pregnancies six decades old. The child left the womb. The cells didn’t.

And they don’t just sit there. They migrate toward damage. Women with heart injuries show fetal cells concentrated at the wound site. Women with thyroid disease show their children’s cells inside the affected tissue.

The body that built the child gets tended to, in return, by the child’s own cells. Nobody designed this consciously. Evolution quietly built a repair system out of the mother-child bond itself.

The brain side of this is equally staggering. Pregnancy triggers gray matter reorganization — a structural rewiring that sharpens threat detection, deepens empathy, fundamentally alters how a mother processes the world. These changes persist for years after birth.

Possibly permanently. A mother’s nervous system doesn’t return to its factory settings. It was updated by the experience of carrying another person, and that update sticks.

The part worth sitting with longest — women who experienced pregnancy loss carry fetal cells too. The cellular merging doesn’t require a birth. It doesn’t require years of raising someone. Those cells remain regardless of what happened after. A mother grieving a child she never brought home is grieving someone biologically still present inside her. The world consistently underestimates that grief. The science says we have no business doing that.

Mothers always knew the connection didn’t end at birth.

Turns out it doesn’t end at the cellular level either.

@griptmedia Are the nuns in any way culpable for this?

"Barbaric": Call for INQUIRY after new figures reveal 108 babies born alive after abortion and "left to die".

47 babies were more than 24 weeks gestation and/or more than 500g birthweight - and for 4 of those there was no diagnosis of major abnormality.
