in the age of remote work we should all be visiting friends like they did in jane austen times. is it raining? stay overnight, you'll catch a chill. coming for a visit? why not stay for a couple months, until the roads...get better?

It's going to hurt but I hope you find a reason to wake up and feel your feelings, and love each day despite it all.

“hold yourself accountable for the roles you played in your own pain, but never hold on to the mistakes attached to how you may have let yourself down; you deserve to heal without the past and self resentment being a constant barrier as you navigate to more healed versions of you.”

Self-sabotage is hard to recognize.

Let’s be real, if some days your rendang is beef, your tom yum has shrimp, your dumplings are stuffed with pork and your pizza is pepperoni, you’re not ‘90% vegan.’ You’re 100% not #vegan. 🥴

Veganism is a full time commitment. There are no days off or cheat days.

[anajonessy]

If your #veganism isn’t intersectional, it isn’t veganism at all. You can’t advocate for the liberation of non-human animals while perpetuating racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, etc. Make it make sense! 🤨

JAVELIN is out today. Thank you for listening. I love you.

This album is dedicated to the light of my life, my beloved partner and best friend Evans Richardson, who passed away in April. He was an absolute gem of a person, full of life, love, laughter, curiosity, integrity, and joy. He was one of those rare and beautiful ones you find only once in a lifetime—precious, impeccable, and absolutely exceptional in every way.

I know relationships can be very difficult sometimes, but it’s always worth it to put in the hard work and care for the ones you love, especially the beautiful ones, who are few and far between. If you happen to find that kind of love, hold it close, hold it tight, savor it, tend to it, and give it everything you’ve got, especially in times of trouble. Be kind, be strong, be patient, be forgiving, be vigorous, be wise, and be yourself. Live every day as if it is your last, with fullness and grace, with reverence and love, with gratitude and joy. This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Thank you. I love you.  XOS

Only a small fraction of vegans were raised vegetarian or vegan. Many of us once loved animal-based foods–myself included!

Veganism isn't about lacking exposure to dishes like a beef stew; it's about understanding that the appeal of a beef stew doesn't justify animal suffering and the environmental impact.

If I tell you I do not care, please believe me. I really don’t.

[anajonessy]

Are you taking care of yourself?

Don’t exchange your freedom for the illusion of comfort and external validation.

[anajonessy]

Friends don’t let friends eat dead animals.

We could get in trouble for this but fck it, I like (the idea) of us!
