I want to inspire others to appreciate and protect our precious environment.
Also - save the turtles!

Bees really are one of the most important species on Earth. 🐝🌎 Their role in pollination is essential for ecosystems, food production, and so much of the natural world. We need to protect them. 💛

@WomanDefiner people keep complaining about the system like it's easy, but the process itself is a total nightmare. if you're struggling with the backlog, this breakdown of common mistakes is actually worth a read so you don't get stuck in the loop: https://t.co/h2S1IxDdMq

@4ocean Protecting sharks starts with protecting their habitat.

@HouseVetAffairs @RepBost Talk is cheap. The VA backlog is still a total joke and staff can’t even keep up. Vets need protected options, like the Choice Act legislation, to get through this paperwork mess not laws that just take away our help.

A Chinese innovation to beat the heat!
In Shanxi Province, a residential complex uses a rooftop mist‑cooling system that lowers the surface temperature by 5 to 8°C within minutes.

[Ellie-Mai Sargent @SargenEllie]

@SecVetAffairs @DeptVetAffairs @WhiteHouse @VP Good to see the backlog dropping, that’s real progress. But many vets still find the VA process confusing and slow in practice. That’s why some still turn to outside services just to help them navigate the system and avoid delays or missed steps.

The beauty of West Coast of Canada 🥳

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

There are only a few places on earth where thousand year old trees still stand. The west coast of Canada is one of them but every day they are logged.

Time to stop the logging: https://t.co/2BqgTy3DhB #ProtecttheIrreplaceable

The planet gives us everything we need clean air, food, water. The least we can do is protect it 💚

[Ellie-Mai Sargent @SargenEllie]

Our planet is precious 🌎💚
Every choice we make can help protect our oceans, wildlife, and future generations.
Save the turtles 🐢🌊
Protect the Earth. Inspire change. Be the difference.

Protecting lives 😚#AnimalLover

[Earth @earthcurated]

The Earthwatch Institute declared bees the most important species on Earth due to their role in pollinating 70% of global food crops. Their activity is essential for the reproduction of thousands of plant species and the overall stability of the world's ecosystems.

Recent studies report a population decline of up to 90% in certain regions caused by pesticide use and habitat destruction. This loss threatens global food security and requires immediate conservation efforts to protect the economic and biological value of pollination.

The real vegan, if she actually thought it through, would eat grass-fed beef and lamb, drink milk, wear wool and leather, and cook with butter and tallow.

Hear me out.

The premise of veganism is the reduction of animal suffering and the protection of the environment. Both reasonable concerns. Both worth holding.

The grass-fed cow on a British hillside lived approximately the best life any animal has access to. So did the lamb on the fell above her. They walked. They grazed. They had young. They were known by the farmer by name. When they went, they went quickly, on a single bad day at the end of a long good life. The vast majority of vertebrates in nature do not get that.

A field of cattle and sheep on permanent pasture supports 300 species of invertebrate, multiple bird species, a living soil microbiome and a hedgerow ecosystem unmatched by anything arable.

A field of soy, harvested by a combine, supports approximately none of these.

Mice, voles, rabbits, ground-nesting birds and field invertebrates are killed in the harvesting of arable crops at a rate of roughly twelve animals per hectare per year. The vegan diet, sourced from monoculture arable, causes substantially more direct animal death than the grass-fed beef and lamb diet, calorie for calorie.

Wool comes from a sheep who needed shearing anyway. Refuse it and she dies of fly strike.

Leather is the byproduct of an animal already raised for food. Refuse it and you have saved no animal, and bought a polyester equivalent that will outlive you in landfill.

Milk comes from a cow or ewe producing more than her young needs. Refuse it and she gets mastitis.

Tallow is rendered from the same animals. Refuse it, buy palm oil instead, and you have funded the clearance of an Indonesian rainforest.

The honest vegan, doing the maths, eats grass-fed beef and lamb on a Sunday, butter on her bread, wool on her body, and leather on her feet.

The current vegan eats Brazilian soy, wears Texan polyester, and considers the animals on the hill the problem.

The animals on the hill are the answer. Most vegans, if they actually got out of London, would meet the answer in person, and quietly change their mind on the train home.

🚨: Finland successfully transmits electric power through the air without using physical wires.

Scientists successfully transmitted electricity through air using ultrasonic sound waves and laser beams.

Finland is positioning itself at the forefront of a wireless energy revolution, with researchers from the University of Helsinki and the University of Oulu pioneering methods to move electricity without physical cables.

One of the most striking developments involves using high-intensity ultrasonic sound waves to create invisible pathways through the air, effectively guiding electrical sparks along a controlled route.

While currently in the experimental phase, this 'acoustic wire' technology could eventually enable contactless electrical connections and smart interfaces that function entirely without plugs or traditional wiring.

Beyond sound-guided energy, Finnish innovation is also leveraging light and radio frequencies to solve complex power challenges. The private sector is developing 'power-by-light' systems that utilize high-powered lasers to transmit electricity to remote receivers, providing critical galvanic isolation for hazardous environments like nuclear plants and high-voltage stations. Simultaneously, advancements in radio-frequency harvesting are turning ambient waves into 'Wi-Fi for power,' potentially eliminating the need for millions of disposable batteries in low-power IoT sensors. Together, these technologies signal a shift toward a more flexible, cable-free infrastructure for global industry.

@felipemnzp AGREED. dissolving is literally part of why HA filler works: try it, undo it, move on. Kylie looks phenomenal 😍

[Ellie-Mai Sargent @SargenEllie]

@ariswldiary that’s… not really how it works tbh. HA can soften lines a bit, but it doesn’t erase texture or give everyone the same smooth lips. plenty of people with filler still have lines, and plenty without filler don’t. y'all read way too much into lips

[Ellie-Mai Sargent @SargenEllie]

@Unixsystem13 @MedGold_ this reads less like “preferences” and more like a checklist for controlling women’s bodies. tattoos, HA filler, weight, birth control… none of that cancels attractiveness. having the freedom to tweak our looks as we want is actually a good thing!!

[Ellie-Mai Sargent @SargenEllie]

@GalaxyBodes the hypocrisy jumps out, but honestly the bigger point is this obsession with policing women’s bodies. own your face, own your expressions, own your choices. it shouldn’t be this controversial.
