After
Timo sent sports writer Claire McNear a series of finger-wagging
messages teaching her the difference between “you’re” and “your,” she
decided to have a little fun. It takes him a pretty long time to figure it out.

Huge news you guys! We talked to the sub. His name is Kondwani Fidel, he’s a 22-year-old Virginia State University graduate currently subbing at his old high school in Baltimore.
“My students are excited that I’m on WorldStar,” he told us, “I don’t really know how to deal with that.”
Fidel’s fight for survival, as described in his poem, is deeply personal. In a recent podcast interview, he talked at length about his incarcerated father, growing up in Baltimore and one family member who helped him through it.
This is great news, I am so happy to see this getting more publicity. Though its important to note that many highly effective non-animal methods have been around for decades now. Scientists don’t continue to use animals out of necessity, it is out of misguided scientific tradition and antiquated legislation.
honestly it still baffles me when people try to use “it’s a personal choice” as an excuse for killing and eating animals
like yeah
by that logic, everything is a personal choice
i could abuse my children, slash car tires, dump oil into the oceans, slaughter and eat my own pets… these are all personal choices that i can make????
a personal choice is one that only affects the individual making that decision (for example, eating sweet potato or white potato), not one that involves literally harming and killing others

The threat to our planet’s climate is both grave and urgent. Although President Obama has declared his own determination to act, much that is within his power to accomplish remains undone, and the decision to allow the construction of a pipeline to carry millions of barrels of the most-polluting oil on earth from Canada’s tar sands to the Gulf Coast of the United States is in his hands. I am proud today to stand before my fellow citizens and declare, ‘I am willing to go to jail to stop this wrong.’ The environmental crisis we face today demands nothing less.
I was lucky enough to learn about the history of the civil rights movement from Julian Bond. One of the most inspirational people I have ever met. Throughout his entire life, he fought for justice.
People always say I have so much self control being a vegan but I don’t think the two are related at all. I have no self control and I’ll down a whole bucket of vegan ice cream in a minute. It doesn’t take self control to not want to eat the flesh or biproducts of a dead tortured innocent animal.
Truth
once you no longer view something as food, it takes zero self control not to eat it.
once you no longer view animalsas food, it takes zero self control not to eat them.
When people ask me if it’s hard to be vegan and I sorta shrug and say “No…” this is why.
