its weird that mostly all vegetarians and vegans only wanna fight for animals but not the underpaid/overworked people that pick their $15 organic grapes from Whole Foods in the sweltering sun for 15 hours at a time

here, hang on just a sec, let me give you some receipts here, because ya, of course a lot of fruits, veg and grains cause a lot of human suffering before they get to our kitchens, but hang on a sec

Factory farms are the sweatshops of the food industry. People of colour, undocumented workers, immigrants and poor people are the ones most harmed by animal agriculture. The most vulnerable people in society are used as workers and they are treated horrifically.

38% of US slaughterhouse workers do not speak any English, and 48% do not have legal authorisation to work, they are at-will employees and extremely vulnerable to being taking advantage of/being subjected to awful working conditions and gruelling hours.

Pregnant women have been forced to stand for long hours in factory production lines without breaks, or perform heavy lifting under threat of being fired, women with heavy periods have been refused toilet breaks so that they bled on their clothes on the production lines.

Human Rights Watch describe slaughterhouse work as a ‘systematic human rights violation’. Workers are twice as likely to be injured at work than the average person, and the rate of illnesses alone was more than ten times the national average, most will suffer from respiratory disease at some point, workers suffer horrendous repetitive strain injury, hearing damage at a rate of 30 times the national average, and there are approximately 37 deaths per 100,000 employed.

Because the production line is so fast and intense, workers are denied breaks and it is therefore not uncommon for them to urinate and defecate in their own clothes to prevent the line slowing, they work in conditions that leaves them covered in animal excrement and maggots daily, and are so dispensable that they are often immediately fired if they complain.

People working in slaughterhouses are more likely to have problems with alcohol abuse and mental health issues such as PTSD due to working under extremely stressful conditions.

In the UK, ‘farmers are twice as likely to contemplate suicide compared to the general public’ and in the US it is said to be as high as four times as likely.

People working in slaughterhouses are at a far higher chance of being perpetrators of domestic violence due to trauma, desensitisation and the normalisation of violence.

Workers are often unable to unionise to fight for better conditions to a point where controversial tactics are used to stop unions forming. For example at Smithfield foods in North Carolina, under Carolina law they were able to create an internal security force with police like powers - they could arrest union supporters and patrol the factory with guns to keep workers in line.

People working in tanneries to make leather from the skin of animals that have been killed are exposed to numerous dangerous chemicals that cause skin diseases, respiratory illnesses, and the machinery is so dangerous it can result in amputations.

In India (and Bangladesh) people have died due to the exposure to these chemicals. These chemicals can also leach into the water supply and affect the air and soil quality, which in turn causes illnesses and diseases in nearby populations. There is an aspect of environmental racism where low-income minority communities are burdened with greater levels of pollution.

Aaaaand whilst we’re on the topic of the human victims of animal agribusiness, countless people go hungry in countries growing grain to become animal feed, you could feed hundreds of people with what it takes to raise 200kg of boneless beef, 85% of soy crop is used to raise animals for food despite all the starving humans, 800 million people could be fed with the food the US alone force feeds livestock, would you like me to go on?

nahh you wanna talk grapes! but wait, wait, hang on a sec, is it ONLY vegetarians and vegans that eat fruit and veg? do you meat eaters…. ONLY eat MEAT? are you exempt from contributing to human suffering because you ALSO contribute to animal suffering? do meat eaters not eat grapes?! jesus kerrrrist

I think that people are so weird about nudity & the human body. Sex is not bad, naked bodies are not bad and naked bodies don’t always have to be connected to sex.

I’m ok. I’m gonna be ok. I’m gonna live a beautiful life and I’ll get to know beautiful people. I will create things of beauty and be surrounded by flowers. And I’ll love myself, and I’ll be soft, I’ll be kind. And I’ll be ok.

I love this image so much.

I’ve seen some women who are offended by this and say it’s ridiculous that her cleavage is showing and things of that sort.

Personally, I think it’s great.

Why should we have an image of a women with her hair tied up and flexing her muscles like she’s a man? (not that that isn’t great too!) In a way it suggests that when our hair is down, our breasts are visible and we wear (GASP) lipstick, we’re somehow lesser than men? We can do it! We can be feminine and successful.

You see what I’m saying here, ladies?

You don’t have to lose your femininity. Being feminine is great. Being masculine is great. Strength is not limited to one way of being.
