Defending a nation state is not worth murdering children. Murdering children will not bring liberation or security or peace. These are the only principles I care about right now.

I am desperately trying to hold a place of humanity for everyone right now but please Jews need some too. Our generational trauma is triggered af right now. Showing us empathy doesn’t mean you support the Israeli government

Hundreds of parents have lost their children. Hundreds of innocent children. It's unfathomable.

I don't think a word exists to properly describe the horror, anguish, and depravity of murdered children. Murdered children. Murdered. Children.

I don't want to hear of another child going hungry in the state of MD because their parents can't afford food.

It has been truly depressing this weekend to watch grown adults gloss over mass murder by terrorists because they view the victims as necessary collateral against an oppressive government. In what reality is slaughtering innocent people aligned with a human rights framework?

Every Primatology field assistant position states “reimbursement for airfare given upon completion of project.” Full stop on that gate keeping.
It's not okay to offer funding where the recipient uses their own money first and is reimbursed later. This barrier puts serious pressure on those in less privileged positions. Many struggle (silently) or lose out completely. Reduce inequity by offering resources up front.

Between 1914-1988, the most common name for an orangutan in a US or European zoo was "Jiggs", with at least 11 individuals named this between 1927-1966! More orang zoo history to come from @LangurLover and @BioAnthFunFacts

If there is a discussion of ethics regarding both human skeletons and living apes, why not ape skeletons? In our new paper, out today in @evanthro, we discuss ethical considerations in great ape skeletal remains research! https://t.co/m9ykT9CAWX

Extensive discourse surrounds the ethics of human skeletal research and curation, but there has yet to be a similar discussion of the treatment of great ape skeletal remains, despite the clear...
