Sounds asexual tbh.

Pretty much accurate except that there are no cowboys east of the Mississippi River; that’s just regular farmland.

My beautiful sons Lupine Meadow and Coastal Sage Scrub.

You know, the red trail on the floor is really giving me a lot of positive vibes. This gives me an idea for decorating a children’s hospital…

So Isaac Newton had only 1/700th the bite force of a normal human? Pathetic.

All animals say “mu” in Toki Pona btw.

Try rice pilaf.

It’s nuanced because it could reduce suffering overall, but it could also disrupt ecosystems in ways we can’t predict and cause even more suffering. I think the latter is more likely. People have a tendency to paint animals they don’t like as insignificant to the ecosystem, but they’re nearly always incorrect. Wasps, for instance, are important pollinators, even if they do sting, and mosquitoes are an important food source, even if they are deadly. Anyone who advocates for eradicating species like these is doing so through a biased lens. We are nowhere near the point, technologically or scientifically, that we’d be safe playing god with the natural world like this – especially not with the massive damage we’ve already caused to the environment. Someday? Maybe. But not right now.

I do also find it horrific to forcibly alter a mosquito’s body so she can’t express her natural behaviors. After all – mosquitoes may cause harm, but they lack the capacity for moral reasoning, and thus cannot be evil. Thus, they don’t “deserve” any kind of torment. But my personal discomfort with this isn’t a moral argument.

So, uh, that’s my take on it as a vegan.

Speed cameras aren’t enough. Schools need all the traffic calming they can get.

Vegan Taco Bell.

Wasps aren’t evil. They are important pollinators and they are literally just hanging out. I am sick and tired of the wasp hate.

The stereotype is that vegans only eat cats and dogs and babies but it’s actually easier to find rabbits and elderly bearded dragons and such since the others are often fed animal products. I typically break into people’s homes at night and look for gerbils since they often die in horrible and mysterious ways, so it’s actually a mercy for me to stuff them directly into my mouth and swallow them whole. It’s so hard to find food as a vegan. I’m vegan btw.
