Going to a vegan “meetup” irl and everyone there eats honey, uses second hand leather, or has cheat days and look at me like I have two heads when I say I don’t do any of this ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Amazing! This has reminded me that I have not had pizza in a long time, I’m seriously overdue for making another one.

I could eat nothing but beans, rice, lentils and noodles and be perfectly content for the rest of my life.

Looks amazing! And unrelated but that bowl looks really cool as well.

I’m a leftist but I think insert fascist opinion here

The BBC are a terrible “news” organisation. They pushed propaganda so that the public would be okay with supporting the invasion of Iraq, forbade black staff members from attending BLM events, doxxed the father of a sick child for criticising the prime minister, removed boos from a Boris Johnson speech and replaced them with applause, and have pedalled right wing propaganda by uncritically platforming antimaskers and transphobes.

Vegan btw

My style is typically painting and mixed media, sometimes I like to make small sculptures to get my point across. Honestly really just depends how I feel and what I’m in the mood to create lol.

And wow, that show looked like it was amazing. I’ve never seen a Kahlo exhibition or show in person but it’s definitely on my to-do list.

I’ve been thinking of making some animal rights related artwork lately. My main influences as an artist are Francisco de Goya and Frida Kahlo and my style of artwork is very much political related and the kind where I want my audience to really think about the world. I’m trying to come up with some ideas as to how I could make it work.

I remember in the final Harry Potter book, after Voldemort is defeated Peeves (the ghost thing) sings a song about how Voldy has “gone moldy.” Yet another thing he and Joanne have in common these days.

Grenfell was one of the very first things that began to radicalise me. Absolutely evil that dozens of innocent people had to die so that landlords could save pennies.

I can see that attempts to push the democrats left were clearly successful

I agree with their stance. I also have to take non-vegan medicine where there is no vegan alternative. This is out of my scope and practice and don’t think it lessens my opinions against animal testing and abuse. I hope one day, preferably sooner than later, the medical industries stop relying on animal abuse for medicine testing.

One of my favourite ways to piss off American liberals is to point out that “Reaganomics” actually started under Carter.

Good?

I always hated baked beans until I made my own. Would definitely recommend and am seconding this

Yeah lol the price is a joke, I buy them maybe once a month but they are good for iron.

Sesame seeds, soya, and figs are also pretty high in iron.

Getting told by carnists that you need meat for iron when pre-veganism I was anemic and now I’m not ¯_(ツ)_/¯

From what I’ve heard the US in particular is pretty lax with the term “plant based.” It basically means nothing over there. Where I live is pretty shit too but here you aren’t allowed to call something plant based if it has animal parts/secretions.

The language barrier is partly why I prefer vegan too. My second language is Spanish, I am planning on living in a Spanish-speaking country and the most commonly used translation for “plant based” that I am aware of is “de origen vegetal” which is more of a food label than a personal one. It’s easier to just say “vegana” lol.
