i understand that my friends don’t wanna talk every day. i understand that my s/o doesn’t wanna be lovey dovey and super indulgent every day. lots of people need rest from performative emotions. all people need rest in general! it’s okay!! it doesn’t mean they don’t love me!! it’s not a judgement or punishment!! they deserve to take their rest, and they deserve for me to treat their needs with respect!

not a lot of ppl grasp this.

You know what’s really great? Being bisexual. I love being bisexual, it’s so amazing. Women? Fantastic. The huge range of ways to be nonbinary & all the people who are out there living those realities? Exquisite. Men? Gorgeous. I love how beautiful people are! I love being attracted to people of so many genders, it feels amazing! I love getting crushes & falling in love with people! I love being bisexual!

Cw: body image

Why do I feel so ugly all the time???? David literally wrote “I love this body, signed David” on me because I didn’t believe him, and he said that because it was signed it was a contract. I wish I didn’t feel like this. I love David a lot. Why is it still so hard for me to love myself?

Woke: I disagree with most vegans because they refuse animal products for the sake of the animals and the environment while still ignoring how most of their substitutes are sourced from farms that are unstainable with underpaid workers.

Broke: I hate vegans because they’re loud and annoying and I love meat

So i’m not sure what this trend is of saying that vegans ignore human exploitation when it comes to agriculture? Vegans are fully aware that like everyone else we cannot be 100% cruelty free in our actions as consumers, the definition of veganism even acknowledges this (to avoid exploitation as far as is possible and practicable) unfortunately Its not possible to be a consumer in modern capitalist society without causing some harm, but veganism is about reducing this harm as much as we are able to, and not supporting the needless abuse and slaughter of sentient beings all for the sake of personal pleasure as consuming animal flesh/secretions is not necessary to health (and is actually really harmful) is a major thing we can and have a moral obligation to do if we oppose animal cruelty since. 

When it comes to the exploitation of human labor in crop growing that you mention, there are absolutely many issues that need to be seriously addressed,  such as mono-crop growing and worker rights (this a symptom of corrupt capitalism and an issue throughout all industries) I do just want to note though that 82% of the world’s starving children live in countries where food is fed to animals, which are then killed and eaten by wealthier individuals in developed countries like the US, UK, and in Europe and its also very important to recognize that considerably more plants are fed to farmed animals than we ever eat ourselves and farmed animals take in far more calories in crop feed than they will ever produce out in when slaughtered meaning the average carnist diet that includes animal flesh and secretions  including eggs and cows milk requires significantly more labor (and therefore involves more exploitation and human harm) than a vegan one does. If we were looking for a diet which requires the least crop labor and therefore the least worker exploitation possible it would be a vegan diet. 

When it comes to worker exploitation, the animal agriculture industry is also one of the most exploitative in the world! where slaughterhouse workers are much more likely than average to have problems with drug and alcohol abuse and with mental health issues like PTSD from working under extremely stressful conditions. They also have have astonishingly high rates of injury due to a high pressure, dangerous working environment. Communities with slaughterhouses in also see higher rates of domestic violence than average as well as increased water and air pollution and lower land value. These workers also are very often poor underpaid immigrants with few other choices and are victims of the very same system as crop workers are. 

In terms of sustainability in agriculture, as individual consumers, a vegan diet is ‘single biggest way’ to reduce your impact on Earth, this according to the scientists behind the most comprehensive analysis to date of the damage farming does to the planet (The scientists also found that even the very lowest impact animal flesh products and dairy products still cause much more environmental harm than the least sustainable vegetable and cereal growing). So not only are these industries profiting of the needless and immensely cruel suffering and brutal slaughter of more than 150 Billion Animals every year, they are also the second largest contributor to human-made greenhouse gas emissions after fossil fuels and are the leading cause of species extinction, ocean dead zones, water pollution, and habitat destruction. I would absolutely recommend reading the links bellow in this topic and I would also absolutely recommend checking out @acti-veg and their website for loads of great information on the topics mentioned above and loads more!

anyway, fiscally conservative people are just as bad as socially conservative people. both schools of thought are rooted in pure and absolute selfishness and being fiscally conservative isn’t somehow made better by the fact that you’re socially liberal. i mean thanks for not wanting to stone gay people and all but ur fine with poor people dying cause they can’t afford healthcare so… weird flex

someone: so what do you think is the solution to homelessness?

me, socialist:

Let homeless people occupy peopleless homes, build houses for use rather than exchange, 3D print comfortable houses in a day, convert corporate skyscrapers into housing and commercial malls into publicly-accessible community centers with living commons and entertainment

When you say it to people and they break

“But the money? … we can’t just? But, Money? We can’t just… help… people? Can we? The Money. We can’t just help people? Like that? We can’t just? Money?”

To really break them, tell them it’s cheaper to give homeless people homes than it is to leave them on the street.
