Tell me Bluesky, what's wrong with this claim?

"This book is called The walking larder because the provision of food is
by far the most important function of animals in all human societies, and
while they are alive the animals are almost always on the move. Like
wolves, humans roam over huge home ranges; they must have protein to eat
but they are compulsive travellers who are always searching to widen their
territories and find new resources. Wild animals are followed
and hunted; domestic animals are driven along with their human owners as a store of meat on the hoof, indeed as livestock. There are, of course, sedentary
populations of humans and animals, as are discussed in this book. Sloan
(Ch. 27) describes the exploitation of shellfish in northern Europe during
the Mesolithic, and suggests that the abundance of food available from this
source enabled settlements to survive in one place for very long periods. A
similar argument is put forward by Spennemann (Ch. 28) for prehistoric settlement on Tonga in the Pacific..."

Siestas aren't for everyone They're for rabbits

Two rabbits sleeping side by side. Left: a black and white piebald Holland lop rabbit in lateral left recumbent with his eyes closed. Right: a Havana Black rabbit in sternal recumbency.

I'm glad that my rescue bunny feels safe enough to flop over on her side 🥹

Darkness, a Havana Black rabbit, lies on her ventral-left flank with her head buried in her forepaws.

I disturbed their repose they are being p e r c i e v e d

Two rabbits: a black and white piebald Holland lop with his head turned to his left (left) and a Havana Black with a piece of hay stuck out of her mouth (right). The baseboard behind them has been mercilessly chewed to oblivion.

This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.

Graph of maternal mortality rate against year for the UK. Rate bounces until and down around 500 deaths per 100,000 births until about 1940, when it falls sharply. It’s been very low (~1–3 per 100,000) ever since.

I think I can misspell a proper noun once in a while as a treat :)

Growing up with a large family or a dog associated with a lower risk of developing Chrohn's Disease later in life. Growing up with a bird is associated with a higher risk of developing Chrohn's Disease. Living with animals alters our GI microbiomes and gut health!🧪 www.cghjournal.org/article/S154...
