SET YOURSELF ON FIRE @taybook - Tumblr Blog

Three years later..

So much has changed, yet there are some things that are still the same. My humour is still ridiculous. I still really love pizza. I’m still vegan and I’m still a workaholic. Other than that - I’m on a whole new path. After reading through some old posts, here’s where I am now vs. then: - I am now 24 years old and haven’t taken a selfie in 3 years. - I have since tried avocado AND kale. I had both for dinner tonight. - Heck, I even had mushrooms recently.. and liked them way too much. - I continue to claim I won’t drink soda ever again way more than I would like to admit. I still don’t like it all that much, but still gravitate to it every so often and complain about it afterwards. I will never learn. - I moved out of my small, messy bedroom and into an apartment with my partner filled with our very own classic Ikea furniture. - I have trouble staying up past 9pm - straight up grandma status. - I stopped taking dance classes/teaching dance after 18 consecutive years. I hope to re-visit what was once a huge part of my life, but it’s currently just not accessible for people of my age in my town. - I started learning how to play roller derby (pray for my brittle body). - I finished my Sociology degree and have done nothing career-wise with it, but I am grateful for the experience and knowledge I gained from those 4 years. No ragrets. - I never did travel abroad, but I did fly for the first time and it wasn’t so bad. - I no longer have time to work on that super cool radio show I produced for. - I slowly left that seasonal drive-in job I loved so much. I will always cherish the time I spent there during my late teens/early twenties. - I have turned my love for sweet treats, more specifically doughnuts, into a successful vegan business with my partner. That’s right, I now supply my own bad doughnut habit. I’m cutting down though. I swear. Only 1 a week.. or day. - I may be more of the business side of the operation, but I have discovered that I am a pretty good dessert decorator and I really enjoy that aspect of it all. - I’ve started to lose the work-life balance I kinda-sorta had. I’m working on it. Who knew.

All My Relations: Margaret Robinson on Merging Mi’kmaq and Vegan Values

Margaret Robinson, author of Indigenous veganism: Feminist Natives do eat tofu, joins Animal Voices to speak about how Mi’kmaq values, as expressed in legends and her own family stories, dovetail with veganism.

Along the way, Robinson will tackle questions like: Does authenticity require that a culture be frozen in time? Is awareness of dietary control of diseases and food justice issues reversing the notion that vegetarian food is just for the wealthy and white? Robinson asserts that “we can be visible as modern native people, and we get to decide what that looks like”. With meat, cheese, and other animal products featuring so prominently in traditional foods around the world, Robinson’s words will resonate with anyone who has felt a tension between their vegan values and their culture.

You can read more of Robinson’s writings on her website.
