Must eat you.

Interview with Vasile Stanescu (Institute for... →
…Finally, let me end with just a personal memory. Of everything I have seen and saw in the last several months one story stands out in my mind more than any other. It was the evening of the General Strike and a small group had liberated a foreclosed-on homeless nonprofit in order to provide housing for the occupy movement for the coming winter. It was announced that 500 sheriffs were on...

will-potter:
A Utah bill that targets anyone who photographs or films factory farm abuses, which supporters describe as “terrorism,” has overwhelmingly passed the House.
“Ag Gag” bills are being considered in multiple states, but, if the Utah Senate approves, this would be the first of these proposals to become law.
Utah, fuck off.

veganpussy:
Oh my God! This is horrible! upwards of 600 rescued farm animals face euthanasia as the person who owns the land where they live has decided she wants to use it for herself. The sanctuary is now in the middle of a really expensive legal battle they cant afford, trying to save the animals home and lives!

Poison Planet - Boycott Everything →
thefruitlands:
XVX Chicago Core. Essay about their album that is linked is below. Boycott Everything is the embodiment of Poison Planet. At face value these two words may seem absurd in conjunction with one another. You can’t possibly boycott everything and why would you want to? But when taken in context the premise is sound. If you don’t believe in something don’t support it. Within...

Great serving tonight. About 15-20 youth in total. Spaghetti with ground round sauce, salad, garlic bread and tomato soup. We set a new Almond Breeze record - we brought about 20 ish cartoons and there was 1 left when we were gone. Huge thank you to our volunteers; Crista, Jaimie, Dylan and Kim as well as our donors Jill and Jennifer.
Good kids win.

I absolutely love how many straight edge/sober folks there are in the vegan/AR community in Niagara. Very few towns have a scene like this. So lucky.
