74 countries have now ratified a landmark treaty to protect the high seas. Why hasnā€™t NZ?

The High Seas Treaty comes into force in January. New Zealand lags behind on several fronts, including marine protection and recognition of Māori customary rights.

Well Excuuuse Me Two women talking over beers on a bar patio Woman 1: I'M TIRED OF BEING TOLD I'M BAD SOMEHOW FOR SIMPLY HAVING THE VALUES I GREW UP WITH-FAIRNESS, EQUALITY, DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTSā€¦ Woman 2: VALUES ARE NO LONGER PERMITTED FOR US. OR EMOTION. WE MUST SPEAK ONLY IN LIBRARY VOICES. BUT NOT INSIDE AN ACTUAL LIBRARY, SINCE THOSE ARE CONSIDERED EVIL NOW. Woman 1: SO I'M SUPPOSED TO SAY NOTHING ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING FOR FEAR OF ALIENATING SOME IMAGINARY FUTURE VOTER? Woman 2: CORRECT.

I'm an evolutionary ecologist with a PhD who studies birds & who writes about all sorts of #science topics (links to these pieces will pop up here).

I think it's my duty to write about politics, such as #HumanRights #progressivism and #ecocide, as well as philosophical topics, such as #AnimalRights & #veganism.

I 'm an avid reader who writes #BookReviews. I'm #multilingual.

I live with a flock of #parrots.

Latest comic on prison labor in the US food supply chain

#prison #labor #work #humanrights #food #comic #cartoon

FORCED LABOR FUNNIES 1. An AP investigation found that prison labor ā€“ often forced ā€“ is widespread in the US supply chain. A sign reads 13th Amendment Farm with a caption saying former slave plantation. A white prison guard on a horse is watching Black inmates. Inmate: Wait, are we doing time or going backwards in time? 2. These jobs can pay pennies and involve dangerous work with few safety protections Prisoner with arm in machine at chicken processing plant. Machine has warning sign that says "Insert chicken and remove hand quickly" Prisoner: Iā€™m giving years of my life, but please not my arm. 3. Prisoner-made food is almost certainly at your local grocery store. Bag of Perp Puffs with slogan ā€˜Shackle yourself to flavor!ā€™ Box of Convict Crunch cereal 4. But alas, most shoppers have no idea. Woman holding stick of butter with slogan ā€˜I canā€™t believe itā€™s made with forced labor!ā€™ Woman ā€“ I canā€™t believe it either!

They've killed over 10,000 children Girl in Gaza in smoking ruins as bombs fall in background 3. The nation supplying them with weapons makes special exceptions to get around human rights violations State Department official sitting in front of computer screen reading: SEND MORE BOMBS? YES/NO Official: It's easy -- the answer is always yes! 4. A former apartheid state is calling them out South African official: We know it when we see it!
