I just lost and/or had my wallet stolen… At least, I didn’t have any money in it, and I just turned off my debit card, but it still sucks. I need to go get a new license and school ID and all that jazz now.

I went to donate blood today, and I had an iron level of 15.5 which is the highest healthy number for a woman. I just feel like I’m winning at being a vegan.

Serious question : why is kissing/embracing so weird in TOS Star Trek?
It just seems to me whenever a character kisses another one it’s frequently the male forcefully embracing the female then and eating her face. It’s just not what would be considered “romantic” today. Is it mainly that just this is how Shatner kisses? Or is it how people in the 60s viewed kissing or what?

Comparing a person of an oppressed group to the likes of non human animals has been historically used to dehumanize them, meaning that speciesism built the hierarchy that made these comparisons effective. If it weren’t for already extremely prevalent speciesist beliefs, these comparisons would hold no weight. So as a vegan now critical of speciesism, doesn’t thinking these comparisons are racist/sexist only reinforce the speciesism they were built upon?
You cannot just erase the history and burden of words or the comparison. You can’t just say, “This should have never been hurtful in the first place so I’m going to use it in a non-hurtful manner.” The notion is always going to hold these negative connotations to some degree. I think using the comparison doesn’t recognize the marginalization, violence et cetera the comparison has done and continues to do to this day. I fully believe that the comparison of an animal and human should not be offensive. But it is a comparison which has been used to kill and hurt people. The use, you and many other animal rights activists want to use rides on that offensiveness of the term. It rides on outraging people because of it’s former use at least in my opinion, and not on trying to actually change the comparison into a positive/neutral meaning.
So no I don’t think it’s reenforcing anything, by recognizing people have used this comparison to actually dehumanize people and treat them terribly and making the comparison holds all the pain of that history. I think there are much more effective ways to promote veganism than using a scarred comparison.
Omg. My mom just told me this story. My mom is Caucasian, and my dad is Korean. She said that one time when she took my four siblings and me with her grocery shopping some lady came up and told her what cute kids she had and commended her for being a saint and adopting us all.

So occasionally we have a vegan person we need to serve at work. Generally, our dinners are pretty mean-centric (baked chicken, stuffed chicken, beef, pork tenderloin, prime rib, etc) and our sides are swimming in butter or cream (it is a banquet hall, people like dat shit). Oftentimes the person…
You have summed up my entire experience eating out vegan in a small midwestern town.
Usually when I go to an establishment such as a steakhouse or banquet, kind of like your workplace where they even slather every vegetable in butter and even the green beans in bacon (amiright?), often I’m just given a plate of grilled vegetables and usually I’m pretty happy with that. Though in general, I think grilled vegetables tacos/fajitas or something along those lines, is a super easy entree for companies to make and have available which vegans can eat.
Also if you can get food from Noodles, they offer tons of vegan options there!
That being said, I advise against offering salad unless that is all you have because like you’ve pointed out, no vegan wants the measly (no offense!) salad you are able to offer.
Also if you have it in your power, I advise giving the person a discount on their food/a reasonable price if you don’t have a vegan entree. Nothing is more frustrating when I receive a plate of grilled vegetables and they either :
1. charge it to me like it is some steak entree
2. charge it to me as each individual side making it very expensive.
Hope that helps and just keep in mind when most vegans go out to this type of restaurant, they know what they’re getting into and likely don’t have high hopes, but it’s lovely to be surprised with a great vegan option!
yeah those prices are definitely good! i'm jealous haha :) i'm also trying to reduce my food costs, but you're doing way, way better than me.
I live in a farmlandish area. Plus I have people that can drive me to different grocery stores so I can get the best price on things. I definitely know I’m lucky to have affordable and available healthy foods!
Lol are your food prices a joke?
Noooo, why? Are they super cheap or super expensive or something? I shop at Aldi’s a lot which has discounted produce.
