“Now why should taking a natural psychedelic drug compound like psilocybin give you hope? It’s because it connects ups up with the real network of values and information inherent in the planet, the values of biology, the values of organism, rather than the values of the consumer.”

Brown bear dreaming in a blanket of autumn

"The major adventure is to claim your authentic, true being, which is not culturally given to you. The culture will not explain to you how to be a real human being. It will tell you how to be banker, politician, Indian chief, masseuses, actress, whatever, but it will not give you true being."

~ Terence McKenna

I sit with my grief. I mother it. I hold its small, hot hand. I don’t say, shhh. I don’t say, it's okay. I wait until it is done having feelings. Then we stand and we go wash the dishes.

““Because most of us are shielded (or shield ourselves) from the unpleasant realities associated with the routine use of animals, we can maintain a view of ourselves as animal lovers by being kind to the few living animals we personally encounter.””

““Animals (human and nonhuman) feel pain, can suffer, and ought to be treated accordingly – pain and suffering are always of moral concern.””

““All social inequities are linked. Comprehensive systemic change will happen only if we are aware of these connections and work to bring an end to all inequalities—not just our favorites or the ones that most directly affect our part of the universe. No one is on the sidelines; by our actions or inactions, by our caring or our indifference, we are either part of the problem or part of the solution.””

Here's a reminder to all you leftists that hold up Angela Davis' word that Davis herself is a vegan and has spoken about speciesism and veganism as a social movement so maybe read up on that before pulling a half-cooked half-informed opinion out of your ass.

You will question literally everything but not consuming animal products. You will fight multiple oppressive structures which will overlap but as soon as it comes to veganism it's "if you are vegan you can only care about one thing."

Just say it's too inconvenient for you to change your lifestyle to dismantle an oppressive structure and you would rather just continue participating in the oppression of sentient beings.
