IT'S VEGANUARY !!

:vegan-edge: :vegan-edge: :vegan-edge: :vegan-edge: :vegan-edge: :vegan-edge: :vegan-edge:

the best time of year to start giving a shit about non-human animals

"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment."

🐮 Cows deserve to live their full lifespan

🐷 Pigs deserve a life free from exploitation

🐔 Chickens deserve a life free from genetic manipulation

If you've got any basic questions or concerns about veganism, !vegan@hexbear.net has a megathread devoted to that sort of discussion!

    Why does living in the United States often feel like living in the world’s richest developing country? Like we’ve got all this tech and massive corporations, a bloated, over-equipped military, and obscene displays of wealth from our ruling class all set against a backdrop of abject poverty, piss-poor infrastructure, and completely embarrassing healthcare and educational systems, etc.? Like where the fuck did it all go wrong?

    I can’t believe I ever bought into the whole “greatest country on earth” bullshit when I was younger.

      settler-colonial nations are always two countries in one - the rich nation for settlers that's part of the imperial core and the colonized nation that must be kept under the boot, exploited like any other part of the global south.
