Our house has switched to 'plant milk', we make our own, and feel good about this choice.

We should have switched long ago. The final deciding factor?

✳️ Industrial Cattle Farming is Unsustainable.✳️

>> In [Colorado River's] Upper Basin this study found crops grown to feed cattle use 90% of all water diverted toward irrigation

>> irrigated agriculture is responsible for 52% of overall consumption in the basin, and 74% of direct human consumption.

>> Of that 52%, crops grown to feed cattle, like alfalfa, account for 32% of all water consumed from the Colorado River.

How 2 debunked accounts of sexual violence on Oct. 7 fueled a global dispute over Israel-Hamas war

Chaim Otmazgin had tended to dozens of shot, burned or mutilated bodies before he reached the home that would put him at the center of a global clash.

Working in a kibbutz that was ravaged by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, #Otmazgin — a volunteer commander with #ZAKA, an Israeli search and rescue organization — saw the body of a teenager, shot dead and separated from her family in a different room. Her pants had been pulled down below her waist. He thought that was evidence of sexual violence.

He alerted journalists to what he’d seen. He tearfully recounted the details in a nationally televised appearance in the Israeli Parliament. In the frantic hours, days and weeks that followed the Hamas attack, his testimony ricocheted across the world.

But it turns out that what Otmazgin thought had occurred in the home at the kibbutz hadn’t happened.

Beyond the numerous and well-documented atrocities committed by #Hamas militants on Oct. 7, some accounts from that day, like Otmazgin’s, proved untrue.

“It’s not that I invented a story,” Otmazgin told The Associated Press in an interview, detailing the origins of his initial explosive claim — one of two by ZAKA volunteers about sexual violence that turned out to be unfounded.

“I couldn’t think of any other option” other than the teen having been sexually assaulted, he said. “At the end, it turned out to be different, so I corrected myself.”

But it was too late.

Okay, it’s #introduction time y’all. I have an inordinately deep fascination with #history though I would in no way describe myself as a historian. I just like sharing those facets that may not make it into mainstream view. Hmmmm…I’m a fairly visual person so you’ll also see plenty of #art and #photography boosts as well. Oh, and I boost a LOT more frequently than I post OC so there’s that

Praying for Armageddon

A chilling look at the pastors, politicians and power brokers agitating for apocalypse, now.

Tonje Hessen Schei and Michael Rowley's unnerving doc tracks the evangelical right's influence, especially on U.S. relations with Israel, the site of an apparently imminent Doomsday.
