Hans Walter Conrad Veidt was a German, later naturalised British actor. He attracted early attention for his roles in the films Different from the Others (1919)…
Link: Conrad Veidt
132 years ago, on January 22, the future great actor Conrad Veidt was born in Berlin during the times of Imperial Germany. During his, alas, not very long fifty-year life, he managed to transfer to the screen and thereby immortalize the fates of many characters - historical and fictional - that he played, as well as to go through many difficult trials thrown at him and his contemporaries by inexorable History. It is a pity that he did not live to see the cherished day and did not know what would happen next. It is good that he did not live to see our days and will never know what is happening now.

Worst part about this is I've only ever used that yellow square emoji once and it was just to see how it looked. This isn't who I am. However, in retrospect, I suppose it is
Reading through the notes is a surreal experience please keep adding more to fuel my effervescent consumption of non descriptive emojis
products are so bad now that i have to do approximately 8 hours of research before i buy anything
This keeps him busy for the rest of the night.

Fox fact: Did you know? Foxes can't snarl like dogs and wolves because the muscles in their muzzle dont allow it. So they just drop their jaws and scream.
And aint that a fuckin mood
idk I find quite often with people interacting with wild animals you do kinda have to be the 'fun police' as an advocate on behalf of the wild animal
(And I want to preface this by saying I have a 4 year Bachelor degree in Animal Science (focusing in welfare and behaviour with a major in Canine and Equine Science) before I got sidetracked into zoo animals and did 3 internships working with wild canids, ungulates and marine mammals - this involved both hands on behaviour modification/desenitisation as well as hands off behavioural observation and welfare study. I worked for 2 years as a marine mammal specialist and worked specifically in facilities to improve husbandry, behavioural training and welfare practises.
I also worked in a facility in the Asia Pacific, working to improve welfare standards for bottlenose dolphins and continued to work with cetacean welfare researchers after this. I also did a course in zoo management, husbandry and welfare and this involved working in an accredited zoo facility learning things like exhibit design, behaviour management and husbandry with multiple species.)
So a few points to say about zoo animal welfare when discussing zoo standards and practises:
Best practise husbandry of zoo animals involves:
Poor zoo animal husbandry involves animals:
Those are all flags that there could be some poor welfare happening and that a zoo is not prioritising welfare
Okay there's the ramble of the day done. Feel free to ask questions for further clarification if needed.
So one of my tweets kinda blew up. :v
This reminds me of the time that a Hungarian doctor called Ignaz Semmelweiss noticed that the bulk of patients in a maternity ward treated by doctors were dying horribly, while the ones treated by nurses were more likely to survive.
He figured out that this was because the doctors were dissecting corpses inbetween delivering babies, while the nurses weren’t, and came up with his controversial “hey, why don’t we all wash our filthy, filthy hands before sticking them in a woman?” theory.
The result, short term, was that the mortality rate on this one maternity ward decreased by a ridiculous amount. They went from “write your will before you come here, because you’re probably gonna die” to “we’re not 100% sure, but you’ll probably live”.
The result, long term, was that Semmelweiss was hated by absolutely everybody, lost his reputation and had his career suffer terribly.
His eventual reward was that eventually people finally started sashimg their hands with soap before operations, history remembers him as a misunderstood hero, and the instinctive angry and defensive reaction so many people give whenconfronted with new ideas that conflict with their established view of the world is now called ‘the Semmelweiss reflex’.
Because some people care more about themselves not being wrong than they do about things in general being right.
