Whenever I see things like this, I remember the fact that the shirt is likely $6 because it’s made from slave labor overseas. Takes the shine off a lot of “fashion deals” tbh.

She had to pay to get those notes.

I actually commented on this before the Nicholl’s page replied, and let me tell you, if the note itself was inappropriate, the responses from the official Nicholl’s page were even worse. PARTICULARLY when, after she posted the full comments from the reader, the page said something like, “And you might also mention the…

It might be the whitest thing I’ve ever seen.

You should try out nutritional yeast if you haven’t! It’s one of the ways vegans get their B12, which it’s packed with, and it tastes great—sorta cheesy. I put it on everything. :)

People need to stop obsessing over this—both non vegans and vegans. I’m vegan and I think it’s great she’s promoting a way of eating that cuts down on foods that have repeatedly been proven to contribute greatly to global warming, deforestation, wildlife endangerment, monocultures that limit biodiversity, antibiotic…

This might be awful of me to say, but what would happen if this was done by someone who’s less conventionally attractive? Would that make any difference to some of those guys? I just think it might be more illustrative of unwanted attention. Like the suggestion of having a gay man do this same thing. Though maybe I’m…

Uuuuuuuugh, when will this tired joke die?

I totally agree about fad diets that have “good” and “bad” foods and all that. Those are ridiculous and harmful, and they annoy the crap out of me. But I don’t think it’s fair when people lump veganism into this same camp. Veganism isn’t meant to be a “diet.” The reason certain foods are cut in a vegan lifestyle is…

Haha. That’s fair. I think a little side eye and shade is good for most companies/organizations, so long as we don’t start to think of them like some crazy Gestapo or something because of the rumors from people who just don’t agree with their philosophy. Side eye away!

By pets, I meant animals we normally keep as pets, not actual people’s pets. I have cats as well that I’d protect if anyone tried to take them from me. My point is that the weird PETA hype about how they willfully go steal pets from people and kill them is just wrong and strange and, I think, an excuse many people use…

You should read about why PETA euthanizes pets: http://www.peta.org/blog/euthanize…. The sad truth is that because of people breeding and selling purebred pets instead of adopting, there’s a massive overpopulation problem when it comes to stray pets. Stray cats are currently decimating the wild bird population to such…

You should look into how the poultry (and other meat and dairy industries) treat their farmers and migrant workers. They regularly keep their contractors in massive debt and set their quotas so high that they’re forced to industrialize (and therefore treat the animals and people working for them as commodities) just…

Um. Ok. Yes, Arpaio is horrible and his jail is corrupt and needs massive changes to be implemented. And yes, PETA has some PR issues (though I don’t really understand the people who are like, “PETA KILLS PETS!” when the reality of the situation is that their shelters euthanize because there are just too many damn…

Having grown up in South Dakota and moved to LA, which is ACTUALLY constructed of billboards, I’m gonna have to disagree with you, lol.

I grew up in South Dakota!

But my point is that, in the case of soft sexism specifically, no one thinks they “mean it.” I’ve never heard of anyone who, when confronted with something sexist that they’ve done or said, admitted that a) they’d done it on purpose, or b) they’d been sexist at all. They often think they were just misunderstood or…

I once interviewed for a job as a receptionist or something for this couple that ran their own business. I thought it was going well, and then in the middle of the interview, the wife stopped and said, “You’re just so pretty with the hair and the eyes and all!” I didn’t really know what to do, so I just said thanks. I…

I totally see your point, and I think having a non-confrontational attitude when discussing issues like this does help, but I don’t really think “not meaning it that way” should be an acceptable excuse. It’s the prejudices we don’t realize we have which are the most dangerous, and as such, I think it’s the nature of…

I've wondered about this too! It often strikes me how weirdly similar people's responses to hearing someone is vegan and hearing someone is a feminist. When encountered with either idea, many people react like they're personally offended by the choice. People ask feminists "Why do you hate men?" and people ask vegans…
