I tried something new for my August spread!!
1st August - What is your least favourite thing about the beach?
It’s technically caused by people but I hate how there are random trashes in the sand and in the mornings there are so many sead mantles (?)...
Are Prisons Obsolete? by Angela Y. Davis
Here’s a free PDF of “Are Prisons Obsolete” if you are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the prison abolitionist movement. This reading answers many of the questions you likely have regarding the call to abolish prisons and police.
One of the things I love about Angela Davis is that her writing style is so easily digestible, even when covering complex theory such as this. Do not be intimidated by the subject matter, it is fairly easy to grasp and I think everyone should read it.

how to go vegan: a simple guide based on my own experience
motivation
find your motivation. try and understand why you would like to go vegan and hold onto it. i decided to go vegan because i had recently gone zero waste (reducing my waste sent to landfill as much as possible), and i quickly understood that going vegan was a huge part of that to avoid the resource heavy and unsustainable animal agriculture. other motivations could be health or animal welfare. no matter what it is, look into that topic as much as you can to gain knowledge and passion about your personal goals
research
coming from the last point, it is important to do research on your motivation. i couldn’t even estimate how many youtube videos, netflix shows, and articles i looked at in order to gain knowledge on the affects of animal agriculture on the environment. it fuelled my passion and made me determined to stick to it. when i had finished looking into my own motivation, i started researching why others would choose to go vegan. i learnt so much by doing this, and it allowed me to understand every aspect of veganism to the point where i have multiple positive aspects motivating me to continue this lifestyle
changing habits
now that you’re educated on everything to do with your change, it’s now the time to actually do it. i remember feeling stumped at this point because its difficult to even know where to begin. my housemates are already vegetarian and we buy our food together, so i had already ate a majority vegetarian diet for under a year. however i still had no issues eating meat on meals out or when i was visiting my parents or other people. we always order a monthly shop, so i swapped our quorn for vegan alternatives, our dairy milk for soya milk, and cheese for vegan versions (all with my housemates permission of course). this meant that i could make the meals that i usually would, so all i had to do was swap the meat and dairy for vegan alternatives.
okay i will say this very clearly so you understand how important this is. don’t don’t do NOT throw out your beauty and hygiene products. lots of them wont be vegan whether its because of ingredients or because of animal testing, so even if the ingredients look okay, google is your friend and it is always helpful to search whether they are suitable to give some peace of mind. when you run out of a product from these categories, i suggest that you simply choose to replace it with a vegan version. you may have to switch quite a few of your loyalties here and it isn’t easy when you know what works for you already, but you will become accustomed to these switches very soon and can experiment with different products until you find the perfect one.
costs
simply put, being vegan isn’t expensive. meat and dairy are one of the most expensive food categories in the supermarket, and my monthly shops went cheaper after switching from vegetarian to vegan. the idea that going vegan is privileged and expensive is based off old circumstances. i would only call the ability to be vegan a privilege if having access to food is a privilege. if you are able to buy food, you are able to be vegan - it’s really as simple as that. chickpeas, kidney beans, lentils, vegetables, bread, rice, pasta: these are all cheap products that are 99% of the time completely vegan. from those you can put together such a huge variety of dishes. if you have the money for mock meat (which is still much cheaper than real meat: a bag of ‘chicken’ pieces at tesco is £1.75), then these are great to keep in your freezer, and an easy way to make a meal. specifically vegan snacks can be much more expensive than the non-vegan alternative, however you do not need to be in the free from section for these. crisps, skittles, and dark chocolate are among the few snacks that’s you can buy in regular confectionary aisles that are no more than any other diet would pay. i implore you to have a look around online, look at the larger supermarkets who have their own brands, see how cheap you could get your current shop if you went for mock meat instead of real meat, and try to swap some of your dishes that are based around meat to be based around vegetables.
a note on failure
there is no such thing as failure here. i have messed up sometimes, i have bought the wrong thing, i have desired chicken nuggets, i have duelled over ads of burgers. it’s easy to do, and i don’t think i will ever stop. but this does not mean i have failed. i am extremely proud at how easily i managed to adapt a vegan diet, and how many swaps i was able to make so quickly. if you do not find it easy then that is okay, you could try swapping a few things at a time and become accustomed to it little by little. you could even try going vegan for a few days at first, and then slowly expand that to the rest of your week once you are used to what to cook. just do every bit that you can, and do all the research you can, because i promise you it feels good to understand so much about the changes you’re making.
I hope this has been helpful to some of you, and for those who would never even consider going vegan I hope you can see that it isn’t just a huge stressful overhaul of everything you love - as far as life changing changes go, this was the easiest one i have ever had to do, and i am so thankful i did it, i never think twice about my decision.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you anon! I hope you had a wonderful day!

TUMBLR WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM
THE BIGGEST FOREST RESOURCES OF THE PLANET ARE BURNING AND YOU BE LIKE
OH
IT'S RUSSIA, SO NO BIG DEAL :)))
You ask for reblogs every time some shit happens in America or Europe, hell, you even cared about Notre Dame and Greece forests burning. WHY THE FUCK DON'T YOU CARE ABOUT SIBERIA DYING IN FIRE
OH RIGHT, YOU CAN WATCH SHIT ABOUT ONE OF OUR TRAGEDIES IN TV SHOW, BUT WHEN ANOTHER TRAGEDY THIS BIG HAPPENS RIGHT FUCKING NOW - YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES AND PRETEND IT ISN'T HERE
MOST OF OUR COUNTRY IS ALREADY COVERED IN SMOKE, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME WHEN IT WILL REACH MOSCOW AND FURTHER CITIES, BIG PARTS OF OUR FORESTS ARE ALREADY GONE IN FIRE, ANIMALS ARE DYING HERE
AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE WORST? WE CAN'T EVEN FORCE OUR GOVERNMENT TO USE ANY. FUCKING. FORCES. AGAINST FIRE
MOST OF OUR PEOPLE DONT EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT, BECAUSE OUR TV DOESN'T SPEAK ABOUT IT
AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS DO? RIGHT, YOU REMAIN SILENT. BECAUSE IT'S NOT CLOSE TO YOU. BUT LET ME TELL YOU THAT - IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME WHEN IT WILL AFFECT YOU, TRUST ME.
Look at this. If those photos don't affect you, you can shove your pathetic posts about saving our eco system deep into your ass.
There is nothing can be done without help and talking about it. And yes, it's this time when it's really YOUR duty to share this information with everyone. You can hate us. Many of our problems got silenced just because world doesn't care. But trust me, when all of our forests will die in a fire, you will be the next one to go.
Today I used this blog to speak, and if you don't like it - fuck you. But the next time you will post shit about global warming, social/economic problems, etc. - remember the time you ignored a problem this big and go fuck yourself.
WE HAVE TO REBLOG THIS AND LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT SIBERIA IS IN REAL DANGER FOR FUCK SAKE!
Don't feel ashamed of doing "CHILDISH" things
•buy toys/dolls/crayons •play with Legos •play old videogames/dress up games •weave friendship bracelets •watch cartoons •use stickers •draw pics of your favorite characters
If it makes you feel nice, do it. Don’t even worry about what other people think, because it doesn’t matter–if it brings you happiness, it’s not “ridiculous”, or “immature”.
You deserve to enjoy yourself.
Let me share with you what I consider to be the most important less I’ve learned in my adult life:
“Growing up doesn’t mean you can’t have Zebra Cakes. Growing up simply means that, if you want to have Zebra Cakes, you buy them for yourself.”
“What the hell are you talking about, Bear?” Well, let me explain. For those of you who live outside of the US, this is a Zebra Cake:
It’s a little pre-packaged snack cake that is horribly cheap and junky and really not that great, but it is like manna from heaven to me. I fucking love these things. When I was a little kid growing up, my mom bought Zebra Cakes but once in a blue moon. They were intended to be put in mine and my siblings’ school lunches, but my brother and I would eat them whenever we wanted, so Mom just didn’t see the point. (They also used to be kind of expensive, at least for our family’s budget.) Needless to say, the coveted Zebra Cakes were a luxury for me, and were one of the tastes of my childhood.
Fast forward to my college years. I was living in an apartment with three other people, doing my own shopping and cooking. I was in the grocery store, picking up some stuff, and I happened to walk past a display of snack cakes. Among them were several boxes of Zebra Cakes.
I paused at this, chuckling to myself. Oh man. Zebra Cakes. I haven’t had those in years. I loved those when I was a kid. I reminisced happily and thought about how much I missed the taste of Zebra Cakes, then started to walk away.
And then I stopped dead.
Because I had realized that there was literally nothing stopping me from buying a box of Zebra Cakes. There was nothing stopping me from buying ten boxes of Zebra Cakes. If I wanted Zebra Cakes, I could have goddamn Zebra Cakes, because it was my money and my decision to make.
I put two boxes in my cart (they were 2 for $5) and never looked back.
Here’s the secret I learned that day: The idea of something being “just for kids” is, by and large, bullshit. What you do on your own adult free time with your own adult money is, by its very nature, adult stuff. It’s like comedian Eddie Izzard (who frequently performed his routines in drag) once said when someone asked about him wearing ‘women’s clothes’: “They’re not women’s clothes. They’re my clothes. I bought them.”
I am 25 years old, and yesterday I bought myself a shark lunchbox. Look at it. Look at how awesome my lunchbox is.
Was this lunchbox intended to by bought for and used by a child? Yes. The tag said it was for ages 3 and up. But it was bought by and will be used by an adult, and anyone who thinks that’s wrong is probably just jealous that they don’t have the self-confidence to rock a shark lunchbox at 25.
So like. Being “mature” and “an adult” doesn’t mean you have to completely abandon the things that made you happy when you were younger. It just means that you may have to approach them in a different way.
Pay attention, there’s a lesson here
I hesitated reblogging this, and I am not entirely sure why.
LEGO. I just turned 42 and I have LEGO sets allllll over my house. Why? Because I wanted them, and because it is my money and I will spend it how I like, MOTHER.
As long as you aren’t bankrupting yourself, buy the things you *want* to buy, the things that bring you JOY.
you are missing out on so much if you just stick to “adult things”
THANK YOU!
I’m turning 26 in May and back in December I bought a set of gel pens on a whim. We could never afford them when I was a kid and they weren’t in my budget that month but I wanted them so I spent $6 and bought them.
Best. Decision. EVER. I write with gel pens exclusively now and I have no regrets. I love picking a new color when I write. I feel so much joy choosing between glitter, metallic, neon, and pastel pens.
Let yourself be happy. There’s no right way to be an adult.
Get yourself the things you wanted as a child but never could have.
I’m 28 and I love cartoons. I even went to school for animation (before dropping out due to ,well, money).
So ,yes, I shall continue to watch cartoons. Buy comics (I do love foreign comics). Have a few toys here and there. Collect and add to my Disney pins and Donald duck collection. Drink soda and play video games.
And I LOVE pizza. So I shall continue to make pizza and Brazilian food constantly (I fell in love with coxinha and feijoada.sorry. I’m a nerd and I love food)
Don’t let societal pressure make you into the kind of boring adult your younger self would be disappointed by. If something makes you happy, and it’s within your means to have that thing that makes you happy… then get the thing that makes you happy.
Wow yeah I’m stuck in limbo of adult and “childish”
I’m 30 and going back to college, and I bought myself Lisa Frank folders and binders to use. I’m sorry in advance to all the classmates I blind.
Never give up on a dream.
JESUS CHRIST I WAS GOING TI WINTERHOLD AND TWO SNOW BEARS ATRACKED ME SO I JUST RAN INTO THE INN AND THEY SPAWNED INSIDE THE INN
INSIDE! THE! INN!
THERE ARE TWO SNOW BEARS INSIDE THE WINTERHOLD INN
one started glitching into the ceiling
it just works
Theres a BEAR
loose
in an INN
No one knows what’s going to happen next
Least of all the BEAR
He’s never BEEN in an INN before
There’s no experts. They try to find experts at the colleges. They’re like, “We’re joined now by a man that once saw a goat in Solitude” Get out of here with that shit! We’ve all seen a goat in the Solitude. This is a bear loose in an inn.
The weirdest days are when you don’t hear from the bear at all
Like you’re sitting at the bar and you’re like:
“has anyone seen-”
nervous glances
“has anyone seen-”
*distant bear noises*
Those are those quiet days when people are like “It looks like the bear has finally calmed down.” And then ten seconds later the bear is like “I’m gonna run towards the innkeeper and smash ’em with my claws
ive got nice claws and sharp teeth, I’m a BEAR”
That’s what I thought you’d say, you dumb fucking bear
then you’re there drinking mead with the other nords and they’re like “there shouldn’t be bears in inns” we are well past that
There is no god in Skyrim, Im suprised it even functions.
