Peter Singer: We are gambling with the future of our planet for the sake of hamburgers – Palm Oil Detectives

Peter Singer, Princeton University I wasn’t aware of climate change until the 1980s — hardly anyone was — and even when we recognised the dire threat that burning fossil fuels posed, it took time for the role of animal production in warming the planet to be understood.

I just shared a post from my #Pixelfed with a question about eye contact pictures/selfies.

I'll make a poll here too, so I can hopefully get a better idea of what is best to do in this situation.

As I stated in the Pixelfed post pixelfed.social/p/PixysSnaps/6
I wonder if I should keep using CW/sensitive warnings on my pictures wiry eye contact.

I learned that it is preferred by some. But since I started using the CW on picture like selfies... I noticed a drop in interactions with those images... So I wonder if it is really helping people if I use the warnings or of it spooks people off on some way.

All my pictures show up blurred in my time line as well, so it's harder to see which picture is what. And it takes a wee bit of extra effort to add the CW. So yeah, I do wonder if it is worth it/necessary.

Please let me know in the poll! Please share the poll for more answers/better results.

I want to do what's best so everyone can enjoy my snaps in a relaxing way. 😊
