Movies: majestic witch elegantly soaring through the sky. 🧙♀️✨
Reality: catching someone’s wet laundry with your face at 60mph. 💀👕
Who else is having a "shirt to the face" kinda day? 👇
Sent another 64 ETH to the Animal Welfare Fund.
I encourage others to think and act more in support of our non-human cousins too! The extreme suffering we're imposing on them in the billions is not something we talk about often, but it continues to be one of the larger blights on humanity.
And I'm getting optimistic that this century we can finally end it. Farming practices are improving, synthetic alternatives are improving.
Also, in my recent experience, good old low-tech vegetarian and vegan food has improved massively worldwide over the last ten years; I encourage anyone who has tried it long before and given up to take second look; there are far more healthier and tastier options today than the "pasta and salad" you would often get ten years ago.

The bear Synochok lived in a small metal cage of only 4m² for nearly 9 years, forced to perform circus tricks, constantly moved in a vehicle, and was denied freedom 💔
After being rescued and moved to a new home, Synochok completely transformed into a joyful and happy bear, the life it truly deserves 💗

The sheep is a closed-loop manufacturing system.
Inputs:
- Grass (grows on rain; costs nothing)
- Rainwater (also free)
- Sunlight (free, and not going anywhere)
Outputs:
- Wool: spun into fibre that regulates temperature, repels water, resists flame, and biodegrades in four years
- Lamb: complete protein, B12, zinc, heme iron, conjugated linoleic acid, fat-soluble vitamins
- Lanolin: extracted from wool; used in skincare, lubricants, waterproofing compounds, pharmaceutical ointments
- Tallow: rendered fat; stable cooking medium; the basis of traditional soap; no refinery required
- Fleece: thermal insulation used in construction, upholstery, and acoustic panels
- Manure: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium; builds soil organic matter; feeds the grass that feeds the sheep
- Milk: higher fat than cow's milk; traditional basis of Roquefort, Manchego, Pecorino
The grass grows back.
The cycle repeats.
No factory. No refinery. No ocean freight from California. No patent.
It has been running in Britain since approximately 4000 BC.
The sheep does not know it is an engineering marvel.
The sheep is grazing.
This is the same thing.
