New paper! We looked at 2,000 dogs in 51 shelters who went on outings or 1-2 night fostering stays. Both interventions improved chances of adoption 5x & 14x respectively. The more community members were involved, the better a fostering program performed. mdpi.com/2076-2615/13/22/352…

Congressional staffers say an onslaught of calls and emails asking for members to support a cease-fire has caught Dems completely off-guard.

Ceasefire. Now. Humanitarian aid. Now. Stop.
Israel dropped almost as many bombs in Gaza in one week as the U.S. did in Afghanistan in one year -- the heaviest year.
Gaza is 141 sq miles.
Afghanistan is 252,071 sq miles.

The animal cruelty investigator wasn’t allowed to testify. If the judge allows this, the judge needs to be recused.

Do Animals Have Dignity?
A wide-ranging new book makes a strong case for applying the concept of dignity to nonhumans and introduces readers to animal dignity in history, law, culture, and science.

Neerja Bhanot was a 22-year-old flight attendant working on Pan Am Flight 73 when it was hijacked by terrorists during a layover in 1986.
Soon after taking control, the terrorists killed an Indian-American traveler and discarded his body outside the plane.
They ordered Bhanot to gather the passengers' passports to single out Americans.
However, she concealed the identities of the 43 Americans on the flight by stashing their passports under seats and discarding others.
After a tense 17-hour standoff, the hijackers began shooting and setting off explosives.
Bhanot bravely opened the plane's doors, and rather than escaping herself, she helped passengers evacuate.
Tragically, she lost her life while shielding three American children from gunfire.
One of the kids she safeguarded grew up to become an airline captain, crediting Bhanot as his inspiration.

This excerpt from an article written in the way disability is portrayed in The Secret Garden captures it perfectly.
How much has this story impacted the way disability and chronic illness is seen by societies like the UK now? Many grew up reading & watching this story.
ALT Many Secret Garden scholars address Burnett’s imaginative develop- ment of the healing power of nature through Mary, Colin, and Ar- chibald; none addresses the way that her claims concurrently construct physical disability as something open to suspicion, however brightly it may be cloaked in encouragement and hope. The rehabilitation of all three main characters through fresh air, good food, effort, and a shift in perspective suggests that disability itself may be an issue of poor attitude. Attitudes—particularly those of nondisabled people toward those with disabilities—are certainly critical to the social construction of disability.6 At the same time, the idea one might simply “take up his bed and walk” bolsters suspicions that disabled people are malingering, a resilient social attitude.7
