Where I’m from there’s a saying that goes (loosely translated): God gives bread to those who have no teeth.

Light clearly had no teeth.

I don’t know how effective these kinds of campaigns are, but it’s a nice sentiment, and something I’d like to see more of online.

This is why AI-powered slop machines that make content will never be as interesting or compelling as things written by writers and performed by actors: people think they want nonstop action, but storytelling that’s like that is flat and uninteresting.

I wasnt addressing you personally, I’m so sorry about that, I meant no offense! I meant to talk to the character in the video who feels oh so smart for owning the vegan by assuming a vegan diet has to be done through intensive agriculture.

Downloading the book right now! Thanks!

The whole book “Philosophers at table” (where the essay is from) is really good, if you’ve ever felt the need to overthink food like I do daily lol.

This is such an infuriating take. Maybe a monoculture, intensive agricultural method that depletes the soil and requires annual tilling is wrong too, you larping piece of shit. Americans will get hives if the words biodiversity or agroecology are mentioned in their presence, ffs. God forbid farming isn’t done in your fucked up, green revolution way.

Right now is one of the best times in history to be part of a vulnerable segment of the population, in terms of being able to find people who respect your humanity and will treat you as a person wotlrthy of living and respect. We’re not the majority yet, but we’re more and louder than ever before.

I have, based on what Derrida referenced on his writings on hospitality and his Adieu to Emmanuel Levinas, but I haven’t gone in detail on it.

If you’re interested in seeing a food-related take to ethics as hospitality, I really recommend the essay “Ethics is Hospitality” by Raymond Boisvert and Lisa Heldke, too.

It has informed so much of what I do, working with food and conviviality. I come back to it every now and then, and it’s still fresh.

It is a source for one of my favorite ethical essays, too.

This is the stupidest take on hospitality I’ve ever seen. This person needs to be beaten over the head with a copy of Derrida’s “On Hospitality” until they become unconscious or learn something, whichever happens first.

I acre about those things the same way I care about horoscopes or the latest TV show. It’s inconsequential, entertaining bullshit that’s fun to talk about in a gossipy way. I would never judge somebody by how long their socks are, nor I would hang with people who unironically did either.

Also I care about fashion because some clothes are pretty and thrifting is fun to me. It’s just my hobby, I don’t care how other people dress.

We were talking about this with a bunch of friends who were either unaware or very in-the-know, and my millennial friend said “I didn’t get all of these ankle tattoos to hide them behind some socks, fuck that”

I don’t have ankle tats yet, but I agree

If the sandwich is very saucy I’ll go opposite way because the soggy bun will be on top.

Yeah giving the racist, transphobic party who hates southern Italians for being poor what they want is not a win in my opinion

Isn’t that a DUI? I’ve read that being drunk in a car trying to sleep it off qualifies as that.

Negroni sbagliato and the winner takes it all

I remember when the pier was announced a bunch of people said that it would’ve been used to help troops land, and everyone acted like they were crazy

Critical support to anti-war weapons manufacturer CEOs, for gutting the global North’s war capacity in exchange for short term gains

Same, now I waste the same amount of time on hexbear refreshing to see if there are new posts

Mental health is better (I blame the extra hours of sunshine and warmer temperatures), but anxiety has me waiting for the other shoe to drop. I’ll have my first state-paid therapy session next week, so hopefully that will help.
