I'm seeing WAY too much right now dismissing individual action under the guise of 'focusing on large companies' or 'community change first' like MY GUY, THOSE ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE, INFACT THEYRE INEXTRICABLY TIED TOGETHER.

If you have the means, now more than ever, you NEED to be boycotting. You NEED to be ending your consumption of animal products. You NEED to be advocating for liberation in every aspect of your life.

I don't want to hear any "well my actions don't matter I'm just one person 👉👈🥺" bullshit. Your actions DO matter, that's why fascists push so hard to take them away. If boycotts didn't matter, why would they last so long and so efficiently as forms of protest? And why would conservatives be so set on banning them?

YOUR ACTIONS MATTER.

YOU, AS AN INDIVIDUAL.

YOUR ACTIONS ARE YOUR VOICE.

STEP UP.

Heads up if you live in Oregon, especially Portland, for the past year there have been “animal rights activists” garnering signatures in Oregon on public transit and at events like no kings protests and farmers markets. They tell you the signatures are for an initiative to simply prevent animal abuse, but that’s a lie by omission. The bill is actually to criminalize any act that would kill an animal. It’s called IP28, the PEACE act. Not only does this completely misunderstand how disease control, veterinary practices, farms, and wildlife management work, it would directly strip indigenous people of their traditional hunting rights and food sovereignty.

When I point this out to them, they tell me “it’s ok, the bill wouldn’t affect reservations”. What, so it’s ok that it’s only on stolen land then??

The reservation I lived on as a child was not viable for hunting and fishing, there is not enough land to survive off of alone, which is why is why indigenous people are permitted to practice food sovereignty outside of just reservation land.

This act would also give police a direct excuse to arrest any indigenous person who has practiced their traditional hunting.

Please spread the word if you live in Oregon especially Portland, and please actually read petitions and forms before you sign them, many people are being misled by pushy and deceptive signature gatherers :(

I made my first ratatouille and followed a vegan friendly recipe !

Now that I’ve stopped counting calories, I’ve been anxious of eating, but cooking makes me enjoy it again!

I also made too much, so I packed some for future lunches. One thing I wish I did, is make a bit more of the tomato sauce 🥫 but it still turned out tasty!

here’s my lesbian vegan hot dog dinner 😋🌱☀️

why do meat eaters get so defensive when you include cows and pigs and chickens in their conversation about animal abuse. like yeah you’re right it is bad to torture animals! except cows???

The "veganism is a privilege because plant-based foods like mock meats, plant milks, and butter/egg replacements are more expensive than the non-vegan versions" argument from non-vegans will never make sense to me.

To start, the average vegan isn't more likely to make more money than the average non-vegan. In America, Black people are 2x more likely to be vegan than any other race and women, both Black women and women of other races, make up roughly 75% of American vegans. The reason I bring this up is because women, regardless of their race, and Black people, regardless of their gender, tend to deal with wage inequality. Not to imply the average non-vegan is loaded, but the most likely scenarios are that the average vegan will either match their wage or make less than them.

And it is true that those alternatives generally cost more, I'm not going to argue that. It's also true that it's incredibly hard to find vegan alternatives in larger quantities at your average grocery store. At the store I work the average-sized pack of non-vegan nuggets is the same size as a value pack of vegan nuggets (1lb 5oz for $5.99 and $8.99 respectively). And the smaller, "average-seized" packs of vegan nuggets are about a dollar less, give or take some cents depending on the brands, than the average-sized non-vegan nuggets.

And with the above said, the majority of non-vegan don't think those alternatives are good, or at least as good as the non-vegan version, to begin with.

So, with all that said, how are we the privileged party when it comes to grocery shopping? When non-vegans choose to eat foods like burgers, nuggets, ice-cream, etc that align with their morals, they have options that are great tasting, relatively cheap, and generally widely available, meanwhile when vegans choose to eat those types of food that aligns with their morals, they're options are generally expensive and restricted, and are, allegedly, low quality in both taste and texture.

And it's especially wild to me because the majority of other vegans I've met and know don't even eat most of these foods on a regular basis. And personally, outside of soymilk, I rarely buy alternatives if they're not on sale or discounted, then I (reasonably) stock up.
