  • That I was being complacent to support animal cruelty just because I liked egg salad and cream cheese.

    I was vegetarian for 7 years. I thought that only obvious things like meat and leather involved animal cruelty.

    I was very wrong. And when people showed me I was wrong, I took a good while to process it. “But the cow needs to be alive for milk. But the chicken needs to be alive for eggs. Surely it’s not THAT bad”.

    It’s a lot worse than that bad. Once it fully got through my skull just what kind of cruel practices were involved, not by choice l, but by industry NECESSITY, with the animal products that felt safe, I broke down crying while I was trying to reconcile the fact that I was letting my taste buds drive me to support terrible things.

    I did finally quit. These days I don’t really miss much, food wise. And life lesson wise, it helps enable me to be a less unethical consumer. A store/product is involved with something morally terrible, like donating a lot of money to fascism? Welp, bye! No more money for you from me!



  • After all we just witnessed?

    Four years stalling courts and avoiding punishment for insurrection, theft of classified documents, etc.

    Getting legal permission to break any law he pleases.

    Convincing even democrats that tge constitution, specifically the Fourteenth amendment, means nothing and isn’t worth acting on.

    Openly planning the worst possible cabinet.

    Not having any investigation or action on votes from targeted minorities get Jim Crow’d away.

    No recounts when suspicious vote trends are spotted.

    Survival of an assassination attempt.

    … Yeah I’m going high. 70% chance minumum if he wants to. He could just order a public hit on the next in line as a presidential act. Clearly no one will stop him.

    There should not BE a timeline where he succeeded the second time. The fact that there is implies he can do literally anything he wants.
