I cannot turn on the television, open a magazine, go online, or even drive down a road in my city without encountering meat culture. When I walk down the street, I smell cooking flesh, and I hear people say that it smells delicious. I see ads with people devouring blood-dripping flesh - and it's meant to be sexy. …

Tell me about it. I try NOT to tell people I'm vegan unless I'm backed into a corner - it just always brings down such a shitstorm.

Yes, it's hard not to be anxious and depressed when one thinks about the decline of rights for women, the melting polar ice caps, the fact that 50% of this country seems to be Marine Todd personified. *sigh*

"Can somebody run a study that establish a relationship between vegetarianism and smugness?"

Can we officially declare anti-vegetarians as more irritating then vegetarians already? I've witnessed vegetarians living up to the "smug, self-righteous" stereotype maybe once in my life. Yet hardly a week goes by where I don't witness meat-eaters making a bunch of shrill remarks about how insufferable vegetarians…

Wow, this was a needlessly smug post. How about you do you and leave us vegetarians to do us?

Well, to spare all the unnecessary deaths and horrid living conditions forced upon livestock, I'm willing to live with a slightly lower quality of life, if that is indeed the case. At least I don't live my life in a cramped pen, where my sole purpose in life is to be fattened up, slaughtered and eventually shoved…

I think there are some misconceptions going on here, and maybe as a female soldier I can help out. You can still braid your hair. Pretty much the only style of braids NOT allowed is the one pictured in the lefthand photo (a.k.a three braids).You can braid/french braid your hair in one or two braids OR you can have…

I was involved in a road rage incident late last year and it was one of the scariest things I had ever dealt with. I stopped at a crosswalk for people in front of my car and the passenger in the car behind me went ballistic. Like got out of the car screaming. Then I went because I was scared and he started leaning…

I'll re-post what I posted yesterday:

the other day, I was on my way to campus when I saw a man on the median holding a sign that read "Independent Contractor Injured on Job-site and now Homeless. Anything helps."

I don't understand parents/guardians who insist on sending their un-traditional children to religious schools and then expect the world to fight their fight for them. If this was a fight in the public school, I'm there. But, in the religious schools, you are on your own. I refuse to get outraged. It is a religious…

thank you for saying this. it always makes my skin crawl when "feminists" talk down to black people for believing in christianity. i may not be part of or believe in the church anymore but that doesn't mean all these white people need to come down and start laughing at us for believing in the bible. they really dont…

Thank you. As usual, white America puts the gay agenda front and center over any concerns of people of color and abuses black people specifically in the process.

Thank you. "Awareness" is stupid. Everyone knows what cancer is by now! Christ. Slacktivism at it's best.

So, everyone? Can we agree that we're all aware of cancer as a general concept? Maybe even that we're all aware of certain types of it, like breast cancer?

Oh dear sister, I must advise you to back away. Someone who has such a completely uninformed understanding of racialization is not worth your energy. They are too far gone. And it's hurting my head.

I dunno. The amount of western nation slut walks that have been organized in the last few years speaks to the policing of women's dress codes - and sexual autonomy- in western nations.

"An actual true story." It is a highly personal, sensationalist account with a VERY biased view on what happened back then. Just sayin'...

For someone who keeps dismissing others' racism concerns with "You. Haven't. Seen. The. Show", it's interesting that you then defend the show, saying "I don't think this show was racist or offensive at all. I would have watched it."
