I finally deleted my Meta (Facebook / Instagram) accounts today. I have struggled with their business practices for years but I continued to use the FB Marketplace to sell my stuff locally. Though it came a time that I couldn't consciously support their shady business any longer. I am happier now.

People justify their use of animals as long as the animal was treated humanely. However, there's nothing kind or compassionate about the way we treat animals especially when there's no necessity to them being enclosed, used, exploited, mistreated and killed. The only way to be humane is to go vegan.
I have fought for over a year to delete my Facebook acct but I have been stuck using Marketplace to sell stuff. Craigslist was once the go to spot for the exchange of goods and services but lost people to FB Marketplace. I have decided that from today forward I will only use Craigslist to sell on.
Do we have an equivalent to Bernstein and Woodward doing investigative work right now? There must be enough going that's worthy of a scandal story about our current administration.
Trump shows more interest in renaming things than improving the lives of people in the US and around the world. He's one corrupt mother fucker. Yes, I use harsh language towards Trump because he's deserving of it and anything less minimizes his true character.
For 33 of my 59 yrs I have been vegan. I grew up raising, abusing and slaughtering cows, chickens, sheep, ducks, racing horses, racing pigeons, and geese. At the time it was a normal way of living even though I felt it wasn't right. Once I left home I learned there was a different way of living.
Infrastructure density is important to making this possible. Sprawl in the US extends the comfortable biking distance such that people aren't able or willing to bike to regular destinations. www.iamexpat.nl/lifestyle/li...
1 in 4 people in the Netherlands cycle to work thanks to extra bike paths
As cycling infrastructure in the Netherlands improves year on year, more people have made the switch to using bicycles for the commute to work.

People are foolish to think that politicians of any sort or corporations will save us from Climate Change. The corps only interest is profits and keeping their preferred politicians in office. It takes individuals banding together to change our way of life to be more sustainable. Be the change...
Just signed up for Reddit and learned it's not as helpful as people seem to say it is. I am trying to find information and insights into VOIP services and one post was deleted because I am new there. Then a second attempt was thwarted and people are not permitted to suggest VOIP providers. Confused🙃
This is just one of trillions of animals tortured each year. The poor being is suffering from the hot water being poured on it. It's frustrating to know that nearly everyone is against cruelty upon animals but they won't go vegan and continue to pay people to inflict suffering and death upon animals
Humans do horrible shit to animals 👺 Humans allow other humans to do horrible shit to animals. Don’t be such a human. #StopTheTorture #LiveVegan take no part in abuse ✌️
People MUST STOP making excuses for Trump by saying he's an idiot, a child, old, senile, confused and other reasons. He's a grown ass man who's intentionally malicious, greedy, dishonest, petty, arrogant, deceptive, retaliatory, criminal, maleficent and more.
I keep seeing everyone making soft shoe comments regarding Trump and it infuriates me. He's not a child nor an idiot. He's a grown ass man who's intentional about being malicious, greedy, dishonest, petty, arrogant, deceptive, retaliatory, criminal and more. Call him out for who and what he is!!!
Youtube just asked me to verify my age. I didn't so I am unable to view videos. I am so fucking tired of the enshitification of the Internet.
History will look back and consider Trump to be the world's greatest failures.
I created this to help communicate to others that increasing speed to get somewhere faster isn't effective. Time saved is minimal while the risk of causing a fatality increases significantly. #cycling #bikesafety #pedestrian

Let's start by providing how vegan is defined. It's not a diet. It's a life philosophy that extends into all aspects of living to exclude all uses off animals when possible and practicable. #goingvegan #vegan #ForTheAnimals
Still waiting to see any of the so called concerned climate scientists advocating for veganism as one mode of adaption to the crisis. To be honest I haven't seen a single one mention it nor even acknowledge they are vegan themselves. It's clear that animal ag is destructive to the planet. #vegan
Going vegan accomplishes more than saving animals from cruelty, abuse, suffering and an untimely death. It also has a significant role in reducing environmental destruction due to the large demand for land and resources necessary to raise animals for food and other purposes. #vegan #climatechange
Surveillance Chills Dissent. What will society be like in 70 years as new generations of people are born into a world where they are always watched? Will stories of MLK Jr., women's suffrage, BLM, Gandhi, Disability Activism, LGBTQ+ Rights and others become fantastical myths of the past?
It's interesting how Big Tech Bros were so easily able to roll AI and mass surveillance into our lives. While reading We and 1984 I wondered how a dystopian world would come about while thinking the people would push back against it. But, now I see that it's much easier than I had thought.
I already posted about this a few times but felt I should mention it another time. People have little perspective on the extent of how animals are used in our daily lives. The manufacturing of car tires for example require stearic acid which gives them elasticity and durability during vulcanization.
The FCC prohibited Jimmy from interviewing Talarico on his show so it was done on Youtube. This is a great interview you should watch and share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLDE...

We are only a few years into this AI crap and I am already to the point of not trusting a single image I see on the Internet. FUCK AI and those who are enshittifying the Internet.
It's time that climate scientists refer to the experts when I comes to dealing with animal ag and it's impact upon the climate. Vegans are the true expert in knowing how to address changing lifestyles, habits, desires, consumption and diets that cut out the use of animals. #askavegan #climatechange
