ground beef prices are expected to soar to $20 a pound after a screw worm infestation has infected US cattle herds for the first time since the 1950s. Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE gutted all the funding for the agencies responsible for monitoring our food supply, so now the whole system is collapsing and sending grocery prices soaring. No problem for Big AG — they just pass the price on to YOU.

A flesh-eating cattle parasite spreads beyond Texas as new screwworm cases are found

Three more cases of the New World screwworm have been confirmed, including one outside Texas, demonstrating the difficulty of stopping a pes

this isn't across the entire industry but it is still concerning. there are 5 confirmed cases so far, infecting 3 baby cows and a goat in texas, and a dog in new mexico, but they're still testing flies and animals in both areas to see how far it's spread. no confirmed cases in humans yet and this isn't dangerous to the average consumer but could be for communities animal and human alike that surround slaughterhouses and animal agriculture farms (as well as the animals inside obviously)

the USDA plans are to drop more sterile male flies around the texas/mexico border and eventually open a fly factory in hopes to stop them from reproducing, which is the method the US adopted in the 1950s, but it won't be operational until late 2027 at the earliest. but that method previously stemmed the screwworm population all the way down to Panama.

there's also a group of bioethicists, conservation biologists, and scientists who got together and published this perspective about a year ago, questioning if screwworm depopulation efforts should become more aggressive and lethal with the intent of species eradication, and the ethics of pursuing the science to make that possible.

there are people on here who get thousands of notes on their fanart and headcanons of a game they publicly admit to not playing or understanding and really i just don't get that

[wolchefant]

so this was a broad statement with a few different people in mind but apparently something happened. ive been hating this dude for the love of the game i didn’t even know he was finally getting called out… anyway nights-at-crystarium is also the person who dismissed ala mhigans as “politically angry men in a cave” when he didn’t want to do their part of arr, so he’s always been racist and an idiot 👍

[wolchefant]

like on top of being a fucking moron who calls the scions a "cult" because they're friends who knew each other before the wol joins, he's just straight up racist

[konnono]

Big up to OP for this because while everyone and their mothers have been coming out of the woodwork about the shitty things the Fragments author has said and done, not a single one actually gave receipts on what exactly he said about the Ala Mhigans that was so shitty—and that's if they even mention it!

And to be clear, it IS shitty and there's a lot that can be said about the intersectionality between racism and dismissing an oppressed people driven out of their homeland and fighting for their right to live with dignity as "politically angry", and how in the Ala Mhigan Resistance's case it may very well be rooted in the player's own discrimination towards brown people...

...but for the most part I think this just shows how shallow and self-absorbed the Fragments author is—not just about engaging with the game's lore but just in general. The Ala Mhigans in Little Ala Mhigo mirror many different real-world refugee groups fleeing their war-torn homelands who struggle to adapt and assimilate in the countries that have given them refuge—countries whose cultures are so different and dissimilar to their own that they'd have to give up their cultural identity to be properly "accepted". If he's dismissing the Ala Mhigans in Little Ala Mhigo as "politically angry men", how does he view refugee groups in his country? How does he view a minority group (that he doesn't belong to) protesting for their civil rights? The answer is simple: he doesn't. He's never thought about it. He equates everything he doesn't care for with "politics (derogatory)", even when it involves fighting for the civil rights of an oppressed group.

If it's not about him, he doesn't care. Note how he says the Sylphs and the Little Ala Mhigo sections are important because "we get to prevent the primal summonings". It's important to him because it revolves around (his) WoL doing stuff and being cool, but he doesn't give a rat's arse about things that don't actually impact him or his WoL directly, such as the people who are affected by Laurentius' treachery or Wilred's well-meaning but foolhardy actions. He doesn't care about them, and to "personally dislike the politically angry men" shows how much he dislikes having to engage with things that do not relate to him and that he sees as disruptive to his nice little bubble of a life where the biggest struggle he has is not having enough eyes on his self-indulgent webcomic and being one of the precious few gay creators in the horrifically straight FFXIV fandom /s

And it's genuinely mirrored in the very thing that propelled him into this mess! He doesn't give a shit about biphobia, he doesn't give a shit about bisexuals constantly getting flack for not being queer enough for liking the opposite gender as well their own—all that matters to him is his struggles. He's the one being oppressed as a gay person. He's the one who has to see all these icky "straight" M/F ships. He's the one who has to deal with the indignity of seeing his favourite blorbo that he identifies so much with headcanoned by other people as anything other than gay. He wants to claim Emet-Selch as gay because Emet-Selch is so camp and flamboyant and theatrical that it's an affront to gay people to deny his stereotypical gayness, even though stereotypical determinism in 2026 is the opposite of queer progress. It's all about him and what he thinks being gay is, and fuck every other queer identity. Up yours, he's fighting for his.

What a horrendous little person. Hopefully this is the last time I reblog anything about him because I think we can establish by now that he's really just a shallow, self-absorbed and selfish little prick who refuses to take any warranted criticism into account, and the sooner he disappears into obscurity, the better.

[pursebeer]

Stop buying food and coffee and make it at home. I'm begging everyone.

[anglaised]

ok well i filled up my car with gas and got cat food for my cats so idk how this applies to me also the “don’t buy coffee anymore” thing is rlly annoying from ppl acting like buying coffee is the reason ppl r struggling to keep purchases under 20 dollars instead of capitalism inflating prices for shareholders to buy another five houses like. eventually yall gotta stop doing the “no more avacado toast!” thing to ppl bc there is no budgeting that is enough to outrun inflation

[teaboot]

Can I be honest with yall I don't want to hear SHIT against cishets at pride this year

[teaboot]

"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing. Let Hetero Jessica throw some biodegradable glitter at a municipal parade

[teaboot]

At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever
