That’s what makes it a privilege.
Completely wrong. You can still be vegan even if you aren’t able to live without being forced to use animal products. The literal definition of veganism includes “as far as is possible and practicable” for reason. Please make sure you read the sidebar as that distinction is very important. It allows all the things that you’ve outlined in your comment as acceptable under the definition of veganism.
I did it!!! I sent the email AND I FEEL AMAZING. I couldn’t figure out how to explain that I sent this way past when I should have, so I just opened the email with this:
Hi,
Thank you for your patience over the past few months, I was unable to finish writing a reply due to force majeure.
sentence about what the email is about
With this new request there is ample documentation, coherent and eloquent arguments, all accompanied with supporting evidence that should imbue a greater sense of understanding regarding the request upon reading.
Regards, name
Attached with literally what I had wrote all those months ago (polished with an hour of proof reading + fixing up citations). It was this easy to do, but apparently it was easier to have panic attacks instead… I’m just so glad it’s over, now I can finally read and action the “new” emails I have pilled up over the past couple of months!
I’ve been procrastinating sending off an important email for about three months now. I did 95% of the email (basically a structured essay with thorough citations) and got stat decs done to back it up, plus all the other supporting documents I need. Since then I’ve been having severe anxiety about finishing it every day and I haven’t touched it since. My cursed ADHD + anxiety combo has had me in a vicious cycle of not doing anything about it yet worrying still. I’m kept up at night with the dread of not finishing such a simple task, completely helpless to and at the mercy of my shoddy executive functioning.
Today, I’m breaking that cycle. I’m fucking going to proof read it and send it off even if it’s not “perfectly” done, it’s going to happen despite all my brain’s attempts at stopping it. I’m not happy with it, but it’s better late and imperfect than never and forgotten.
Got my covid booster within six months no questions asked beside my date of birth (I’m 22) and name. Apparently pharmacies don’t follow the rules? I’m only allowed to get it every 12 months lol
All’s well that ends well
Archive link as it was paywalled for me
Yeah but bees always make more than they need and the humans can leave them plenty of honey to survive winter
What gives us the right to exploit them because they’re good workers?
Your not killing a baby chicken every time you eat an egg.
While this could be argued there is nuance to this. Do you know what happens to the male chickens in egg slavery yards? Many baby chickens are killed in the production of said egg.
I don’t hate vegans at all, I hate people that are pretentious assholes about being vegan
Which is zero vegans.
It’s called polyphasic sleep and yeh, we used to do it (more commonly) before street lights were a thing. It’s still a thing a lot of people do, siesta being a common example
You can only comment here under the guise of good faith for so long. You’re trying to bait a certain response so that you can “prove” a point and put words in other people’s mouths.
Like naeva said comments by nonvegans are allowed. The rule doesn’t explicitly preclude anyone who isn’t vegan from engaging in conversation. What it does not allow is for bad faith comments, strawmen arguments (carnist rhetoric and the like), and those that are hostile to vegans (antivegans) to come here and as the OP would put it “meatsplain”.
I remove comments that are advocating for animal abuse, carnist propaganda, speciesism, and those made by antivegans.
Discussions about veganism here are heavily skewed as vegans are outnumbered vastly and it tends to be a sensitive topic due to cognitive dissonance. This makes it so that actual discussion is very hard as it often gets overun by reactionary takes and hostility to empathy.
Pinning posts has not helped in the past as most people don’t read it or refuse to listen to the message before commenting here.
It should be called the Victorian Biohazard Bill, but it just doesn’t portray us as biosecurity terrorists as much
It protects all religions and a wide range of philosophical beliefs including atheism, humanism, agnosticism, veganism and pacifism.
Edit: Found it
Alt text for image:
A screenshot of a post by a user “Brusswole Sprouts” with the handle “@swolesprouts”. The post reads as follows:
I’ve been vegan for over 10 years and I still don’t understand why it’s acceptable to make fun of vegans in social settings while you would never make fun of someone eating halal or not drinking for religious or cultural reasons.
Why is vegan culture less deserving of your respect?
Pictures of text should have accompanying alt text. I’ll see if we can add that as a rule
I can’t go vegan because of the vegans 🙄
@[email protected] swap the 🅰️ & 🅱️ around
I have a few words to say
HOW IS IT THIS COLD AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
That is all.
No hard feelings, if it weren’t for you I wouldn’t have found an excuse for being late ;)
