The Truth About Animal Vaccines: Debunking Myths in Livestock Health

In today’s fast-paced agrospace, misleading information can spread quickly, both online and offline. One particular misconception that has emerged is the concept of “organic vaccines” for livestock. While plants have valuable pharmacological properties, they cannot be transformed into vaccines. It’s important for farmers and livestock owners to separate fact from fiction to protect their…

My two greatest character flaws are that I'm cranky and lazy.

My third greatest character flaw is the acute lack of compassion for people who smuggle exotic animals (like a serval) into a country where they are illegal (like norway) because keeping one as a pet is 'their dream' and then throw a pity party when said animal is seized and at risk of euthanasia. I'm sorry pal but you did that.

I love going back and rewatching AVM and seeing little details. Alexcrafter's mouse is smaller than Alan's. King takes so long to write/paint/command block those little gifs. The individual fighting/parkour styles of the sticks being distinct and consistent. just !!! I love this series.

Despite what the epilogue says, I always wondered what exactly happened after the Confession Arc. Like, yes, they got espers to fix the city, but what about the public's view on espers? What about the injuries and deaths that came with ???%'s rampage? What did Mob's parents think about all of this? How did he tell his parents about The Incident, or did they already know? Did this affect Reigen's business reputation? WHAT ABOUT MOB'S MENTAL HEALTH DAMMIT??? But the epilogue just says everything was happy the end.

Like a whole other thing is when I have put Mani/Moe in situations where suicide as a topic is part of the punchline, I am so cautious about it, and there's always a greater intention behind it. Biggest thing is the characterization -- this is a part of its history. Moe's experiences inform a lot of its feelings, choices, even core personality. It's also a distinct characterization of Mani. A reflection of the past. Mani is more prone to becoming volatile and destructive. I have so much lore in my head I can never elaborate on LMFAOOO (SCRAMBLED. EGG). But that is the point/idea behind it, and I am always So Careful. I don't do anything without intent.

I’ve been seeing a lot of “chonky” cats and dogs recently so I figured I’d put out a friendly reminder; “chonk” does not equal healthy. Infact, in most of the cases I’ve been seeing, it is actually unhealthy, very unhealthy. Shorten-the-lifespan-of-the-animal unhealthy, cause-increased-risk-of-heart-disease/failure/attack/other-issues unhealthy. Dogs and cats are not like us humans, since they walk on all fours, they have no need for that extra muscle and fat that we have on our bellies/chests. That means that, when they’re at a healthy weight, you should be able to feel (and somewhat see as-well, when it comes to hairless cats and short haired dogs) their ribs. NOTE: I AM NOT SAYING THE RIBS SHOULD BE PRONOUNCED, DO NOT STARVE YOUR ANIMAL, IF YOU CAN’T FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH TO FEED YOUR ANIMAL, TALK TO YOUR VET*.

I thought it would be obvious, but I am seeing an increased number of videos and posts being like “she’s so chonky she can barely walk” and most of the comments are along the lines of “she must be so happy! You’re such a good pet owner.” So I guess it isn’t. If your animal is struggling to do something bc of how much or how little you feed them, that is very bad. I know most of y’all probably just leave food out for them cuz you’re busy, I understand that, but there are foods out there that promote weight gain/weight loss, and while most of them are prescription, the prescriptions are not very expensive (about 2-3$ above what typically cat/dog food costs), and there are also foods that are not prescription. I’m sorry to say, but if your animal is an unhealthy weight bc you don’t pay attention to how much they eat, you are abusing them. That is neglect, and it doesn’t matter how much they love you and you (claim to) love them, you obviously don’t care about them very much if you are actively choosing to let them stay unhealthy.

Cat + Dog, prescription: Hill’s ‘weight management’ cat/dog food

Cat, not prescription: Purina+ ideal weight high protein cat food

(I couldn’t find anything for dogs, sorry)

*if, for whatever reason, you cannot talk to your vet, hillspet.com offers quizzes to tell you what your pet needs, Hill’s is prescription, but (I think) you can contact them and get the prescription from them. You can also just call/email your vet, ask for the prescription, and you likely won’t be charged anything by the vet.

[18/300] My blood is seething, boiling. It cannot be stopped.

The water right next to me is what's currently keeping my brain working. Sometimes it sucks to have to go through this fasting, but the medical testing requires to abstain from food, so I will persevere. ---- This is probably the last time I do this, but fuck it: The feeling of finally being able to be back to my "ideal" weight is what motivated me in the first place to start fixing my health back in late 2017. ---- Back then, I was close to 130 kg in weight (that's 287 or so lbs. in the US Metric and whatnot) which, for my height (188 cm / 6'2") meant that I was close to being morbidly obese, which due to my family's medical history (diabetes on both sides, just to get things started) meant that I had to be legitimately worried. ---- I went to get a medical checkup back in September of that year, and to no one's surprise, getting the diagnosis of being prediabetic scared me to hell and back. And so, I started working towards my goal. It took a shitload of effort, a ton of discipline and, if I'm honest, a lot of help from my friends/loved ones, but I managed to make strides. ---- By May 2019, I was consistently under 95 kg/210 pounds. After everything that had happened both in my personal and professional lives, it felt like it was my one "triumph". And now that the pandemic is (seemingly) gone, I've decided to retake this goal of getting to my appropriate weight, which is about 81-82 kg. ---- I currently stand at around 90-91. So, if I get all my testing and it comes out with a positive outlook, I'M FUCKING DOING IT. Read ya' later, alligators!
