I hate republicans.
People don’t realize how privileged they are! The abundance of ignorance and selfishness in this country is astounding. I hate people. I just want to shake some sense into them! If only compassion could be taught. IF ONLY.

Vegan Strip Club (video at link) →
HOLY CRAP. I want to go to there. I can’t help but think that this is TOTALLY AWESOME. I am very much a ‘choose your choice’ feminist, so as long as these women choose to dance at this place (e.g. to get through school, like the woman in the video), then, great! And how delish does that food look?!?!

WatchThis is difficult to watch, but I am so glad that ABC News had a segment about the horrors of the dairy industry. They focused on the inhumane treatment of the cows. Whoa.

veganexperiment:
So the original plan was to try Vegan eating for 28 days because Chris is developing a line of foods to go with the Engine 2 diet book… (Chris works at Whole Foods for anyone who does not know) and he figured it would be helpful to follow the diet for the 28 days like the book says so he had a better understanding of what he was developing. He sold me on the health benefits so I...

Texas Bans Gay and Marriage Altogether

onedropcolors:
(Newser) – The geniuses who wrote Texas’ gay marriage ban may have accidentally banned all marriage in the state, according to one Houston lawyer. Subsection B of the ban, a constitutional amendment ratified in 2005, states, “This state…may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage.” The...

jonathan-cunningham:
On the House floor yesterday, Representative Foxx tried to claim that the GOP were the driving force behind both the environmental and the civil rights movement. This so incensed Dennis Cardoza (D-CA) that he replied with the following;
CARDOZA: Today, what I’m hearing on the floor really takes the cake. The gentlelady from North Carolina, in her statement just now,...
Rape Culture is Our Culture →
brandileeeeee:
(via ladybambino)
“Rape culture is treating straight sexuality as the norm. Rape culture is lumping queer sexuality into nonconsensual sexual practices like pedophilia and bestiality. Rape culture is privileging heterosexuality because ubiquitous imagery of two adults of the same-sex engaging in egalitarian partnerships without gender-based dominance and submission undermines...

brooklynmutt:
An animal rights group publicized a video Tuesday showing unwanted chicks being tossed alive into a grinder at an Iowa plant and accused egg hatcheries of being “perhaps the cruelest industry” in the world. The undercover video was shot by Chicago-based Mercy for Animals at a hatchery in Spencer, Iowa, over a two-week period in May and June. The video was first obtained Monday by...
Animal Rights Frequently Asked Questions

Animal Rights: Frequently Asked Questions “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” —Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Q. What does it mean to be in favor of animal rights? A. Obviously, granting animals rights doesn’t mean we’ll see cats in the voting booths on Election Day or chickens behind the wheel of a car. What it does mean is that in similar situations, we ought to...

PETA, you never fail to make me fucking SICK. It was too uncomfortable watching this. Yayy, sexism!

oh, PETA. How about we stop exploiting animals AND women? If she wanted to do this, fine. But do you think that anybody is actually listening to what she is saying? Christ.

apiaceae:
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - Former television game show host Bob Barker, who ended episodes of “The Price Is Right” by asking viewers to spay and neuter their pets, donated $1 million to Drury University to establish a professorship on animal rights that he hopes will lead to a full undergraduate degree program.
Barker, who graduated from the small liberal arts school in 1947 with a degree in...
Postmodern Feminism and Animal Welfare: Perfect... →
I just came across this post, it’s from 2007, but I think it’s worth examining. I definitely consider myself a postmodern feminist. But I am certainly not pro-PETA; and I will explain the many reasons why in another post (one of which is objectification of women, but mostly, they are just plain bad for the cause and only alienate people).
I’m still grappling with the...
Coconut Milk--B12 →
I’ve been meaning to try this. I LOVE the SO DELICIOUS coconut milk ice cream and yogurt! It’s a little pricey but a good splurge once in a while.
