Fewer people is by far and away the #1 best solution for the planet, no argument there. However, as you yourself mentioned, you’ve adjusted your meat intake. Most people would do well to follow suit.

THANK YOU.

OH MY GOD it’s time for this pernicious piece of misinformation AGAIN. OK for everyone on this thread (and I’m not a vegan, but I do have a degree in Environmental Science, for what it’s worth):

Hah! Excellent comeback... very snappy.

That is disgusting!

Hear Hear sister! It started when I was the first girl to wear a bra in middle school, and was ruthlessly bullied by a girl whose name I still remember to this day, and her army of skanks. Moving on to being hit on by my high school teacher, another girl starting rumors about me that I’d had breast implants (at 15…

Also- if you’re at an event where there’s free food and booze, people, music and dancing, and you can’t manage to have a good time, the problem is not the wedding...

YUP - TL/DR “I already had my wedding and it was so perfect and amazing, but everyone else’s weddings are such a pain so can you guys just stop please?” How do these whiners even have friends to invite them to weddings? HOW?!!

Also, we talk about whiteness ALL THE TIME. It’s a whole thing. “Stuff White People Like” and “White Girl Problems” “Stuff White Girls Say” etc... It’s a whole part of our cultural experience. As a white person I am truly so baffled by people who refuse to recognize that we get preferential treatment. In stores, when…

This is the crisis of my life. I’ve always loved her, and at first I thought they were cute together, but then Dax posted a bunch of gross anti-pitbull propoganda on his Twitter and I was like UGH you are the WORST. So now I can’t stand him, and I like her slightly less which makes me sad because I <3 Veronica Mars so…

Perfection.

She was perfect in that movie!

No it does not! I loved that movie too. It had some of the funniest most random lines. “I slapped the ham to it like an hour ago.” Carol: “What ham did you slap? Not the ham that I just bought.”

Don’t forget The Last Unicorn! That movie was dark as hell. I loved it when I was a kid, even though it creeped me out. Also recently realized that Angela Lansbury was the voice of Mommy Fortuna!

Aw - thanks!

I read this article and my head nearly exploded. I did development work for 3 years in El Salvador, and because of the extremely oppressive religious and patriarchal culture there, what most young women in the countryside know about their own bodies and reproductive health could fit in a matchbox. There is little to…

Thank you for posting this truth! I live in NYC and the amount of people that think it’s cute to let their dog run around the city off leash or tied up on the sidewalk while they grocery shop astounds me. There are also the scumbags who roam around looking for dogs to steal to use as bait in dog fighting operations :(

OH MY GOD that is a terrible story. I may or may not watch too much Dateline...

Yes - I remember when I was coming of age in the 90s, and there were all these cautionary tales about rape, and there were a lot of them about a women who went to take out the trash or go to the laundry room for a moment without locking the door, and the perp got in her apartment and waited for her. Not that it was…

I’ve been assaulted before and even with deadbolts I’d still feel afraid if I were showering at night or some other vulnerable feeling situation. The only time I finally felt 100% safe is when I got an 85 lb pit mix from my local animal shelter (adopted him because he was adorable, sweet, and at risk of euthanasia…
