"Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat."

“Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat.”

-
When Strangers Click, a 2011 documentary about online dating.

It reminds me of that famous Margaret Atwood quote: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” It also reminds me of something written by one of the mods of Sex Worker Problems: “Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”

I mean, it’s just true.

“Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”

That’s it. That’s it right there.

Castoreum is the ooze from the castor sacs of beavers that comes out along with their urine—and it’s used as “natural” raspberry flavor in tons of mainstream products.

But you won’t see this one on the food label—the FDA has determined that it can be listed as “natural flavoring” to hide the truth.

It’s natural all right—naturally icky!

The thing about stuff like this is… Who was the dude that first decided to eat this and was like “Mmm! Raspberries! Lets put it in everything.”

“We tend to think animals are lower than us, but all the scientists in the world couldn’t design and operate a bumblebee’s wing. We can’t jump or run very fast, and we can’t carry vast weights like an ant can. We can’t see in the dark and we can’t fly except crammed in a noisy tube like sardines, which doesn’t count. Humans compared to animals are almost totally deaf, and we can’t smell a fart in an elevator by their standards. We are finite and separate, and neurotic, while the consciousness of an animal is at peace and eternal. We strive and go crazy to become more important. Animals rest and sleep and enjoy the company of each other. We think we have evolved upwards from animals but we have lost almost all of their qualities and abilities. The idea that animals don’t have consciousness or that they don’t have a soul is rather crass. It shows a lack of consciousness. They talk, they have families, they feel things, they act individually or together to solve problems, they often care of their young as a tribal unit. They play, they travel, and medicate themselves when they get sick. They cry when others in the herd die, they know about us humans. Of course they have a soul, a very pristine one. We humans are only now attempting with the recent rise in consciousness to achieve the soul that animals have naturally.”

A Glasgow nightclub has installed a two-way mirror which allows male revellers in private booths to spy on unsuspecting women as they visit the toilet! With no notification or signage anywhere in the venue many female club goers have been left feeling embarrassed and used. Although they do briefly show the mirrors in a promo video, the club has been quickly deleting comments and posts on their social media from club goers trying to alert others to the situation. This is pretty much illegal and hugley violates privacy. Thank you The Shimmy Club for giving us a shiny, new, creative and cool take on objectification.

“This stunning sculpture by Liu Qiang is an accurate depiction of humanity’s use of, and utter dependence on other animals and, in particular, the savage and bizarre habit of consuming the breast milk from mothers of other species—milk that these mothers have produced for their own babies, babies that we forced them to become pregnant with only to kill shortly after birth so that we can take the bereft mother’s milk, milk that we drink as though we were the children that we murdered.”

UDDER FLAMING/SINGEING

One of the torturous practices “dairy” cows are forced to endure for humans’ taste buds is udder and belly hair removal. Dairy farmers claim that hair removal is a vital process to improve udder cleanliness and reduce bacteria and that udder flaming/singeing is a “humane” way to accomplish this. Udder singeing is further described as a way to remove hair “quickly and painlessly, using a 6” cool flame, eliminating the need to clip udders manually.”* The cows in UDDER SINGE demonstration video appear to disagree with the claim that it is painless: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0LzliJzoXs

While some dairy farmers flame the udders when they are full of milk, some flame them after the cows have been milked.

I’m vegan and I don’t eat quinoa.

I’ve still never even had it yet.

But apparently I’m a hypocrite and I’m just as bad as anyone who supports the meat industry because quinoa exists and people are buying it and that’s my fault.

BAM! ^^^

I hate quinoa with every ounce of my existence. Fucking disgusting pebble worm oat things. oh god.

I’ve never even SEEN quinoa in person, only in photos haha. I think it’s a fad

“The unfortunate reality is that the powerful meat and dairy lobbies have been successfully spreading their propaganda for many decades. The fortunate reality is that we are now in the midst of the greatest information era in the history of mankind and the truth about food and nutrition and good health is rising up and resonating with people around the world. Why? Because the answer is so simple: Plants can heal. Plants can nourish. Plants can nurture. Plants can give you everything you need to be the healthiest person you can be and live the life you deserve to live.”

“After looking at 34 published studies in 16 countries, researchers at Yale University found that countries with the highest rates of osteoporosis including the United States, Sweden, and Finland are those in which people consume the most meat, milk, and other animal foods.

Despite the dairy industry funding study after study to try to prove its claims that consuming dairy products will make your bones stronger, the truth is exactly the opposite.

The primary cause of osteoporosis is the high-protein diet most people consume today. Eating a high-protein diet is like pouring acid rain on your bones. (The protein increases production of acid in the blood which is then neutralized by calcium taken from our bones) Remarkably enough, if dairy has any effect, both clinical and population evidence strongly implicate dairy in causing, rather than preventing, osteoporosis.” ~ Dr John McDougall

“We lack all kinds of amazing qualities that animals have, but we single out one damn thing that we’re not even very good at — rationality — and we say that is what makes us masters of the universe. That is what justifies fur farms, vivisection laboratories, slaughterhouses, aquariums, zoos, circuses, rodeos… every exploitative, barbaric institution of enslavement we have ever created as hell on Earth for animals. We have used our minds for that purpose and we have justified it according to the fallacy that we have reason, we have reason alone, and that that is adequate for exploiting all other forms of life.”

It’s great that you think that it’s helping when you choose “Free Range” eggs, but just know that it means absolutely nothing.

Take that nugget of wanting to make more compassionate choices and make the best one - DON’T BUY EGGS AT ALL. If you feel that you absolutely need to eat those cholesterol-ridden chicken periods, get them from a family farmer that you personally know.
The drawing on the front of the package you got at IGA or Gristedes might be of a beautiful green pasture but you can be sure that the chicken never saw anything remotely like that.

go vegan. go a little bit vegan. go critically-thinking omnivore. Whatever. Just please throw away those illusions.
