Oof, I might be asleep by 7 p.m. I’m exhausted. It’s a good thing I don’t deal with anti-vegan trolls on here because they’d definitely say, “It’s probably because you’re vegan.” 😂

It kind of sucks that I’ve finished my book two months before Christmas because working on a book while listening to oldies Christmas music and having beautiful Christmas lights all around sounds like such a vibe. However, maybe that will motivate me to start writing a new book. 📕🎄 #writing ✍🏼

Two amazing vegan advocates. R.I.P. Jane. We miss you 💛

The mutual admiration is palpable ♥️ The world desperately needs more women, more people, like this. Ethically consistent vegans who don’t just talk the talk - they walk(ed) the walk ⚖️ #Vegan #FTA #ForEverything

I was making a list of all the plant-based candies I could snack on throughout the week leading up to Halloween, but it turned out there weren’t many options, so I just bought a large bag of Smarties. I’m simple. And Smarties are great! I’ve enjoyed them since I was a kid. I’m not complaining. 😃

Cutting a cucumber into tiny little cubes is therapeutic. Actually, any vegetable for that matter. 🥒🥦🥕🥔🥬🍅🧅

Gosh, so unbelievable. He literally sounds like a toddler bugging his mom in the grocery store, impatiently waiting to go down the toy aisle because he really wants the toy she promised him. “Mom, can we go down the toy aisle now?” Over and over. 😩😂 #bekind #govegan 🌱

I just finished watching the new Carrie Series. It was actually pretty good. I liked how they added more depth to the story and creatively expanded on details from the movie.

Do you ever take clean laundry out of the dryer, hold it to your nose, and breathe in the freshness of it? I wish that’s what non-vegans did when they stepped outside. That they breathed in the freshness of life and recognized that every sentient being deserves the chance to experience it, too. 😃🌱

I’m so excited to have my book published next month! My book editor and I have discussed it, and he seems amazing. I’m excited to work with him. My book was delayed due to some disruptions, but the peace I’ve felt over these last few months finally allowed me to finish it. 📖 #writing #goals 📝

Forests have a healthy influence on us. Not only do trees filter our air, the sight of a tree lowers our stress level. The air in a coniferous forest is particularly germ-free and even anti-inflammatory due to the many essential oils they emit - comparable to a natural antibiotic

I don’t understand why some vegans feel so comfortable tone-policing other vegans, as if there’s one objectively correct way to advocate. I’ve found some approaches jarring myself, but telling others how they should advocate comes across as pretty entitled. Let’s focus on the animals instead. 😃🌱

Pumpkins are food. Refrain from using bleach to "preserve" this wonderful squash. Additionally, painted, glued, or glittered pumpkins are also toxic and should never be left outside for wildlife to consume.☠️ The squirrels, birds, raccoons, etc will thank you 🎃 #HelpingOthers #Halloween

Same here. No offense to any vegans out there who do, but it just wouldn’t be logically consistent to me if I knew I wouldn’t date a racist, etc., yet somehow made an exception for a speciesist. If you’re well-informed about veganism but choose not to go vegan, you’re in fact a speciesist. #govegan🌱

There’s so much toxicity in the world. 🌎 The misogyny The racism The speciesism The homophobia The transphobia The hate crimes The hateful slurs The child abuse The animal abuse The littering The bullying I wish more people cared about healing themselves, so we could heal our planet. ❤️‍🩹

People often say vegans are weak, but I always thought a good show of strength was wanting to protect the vulnerable, not harm them. 😃🌱

What do you mean, use a “better choice of words”? I thought we were just supposed to call it like we see it, but that’s clearly not the case with everyone. It’s always so strange that people get more bent out of shape over words than the actual harm being caused. 😩😂 #govegan #becompassionate 🌱

lol metallica "were not here to push bullsh1t agendas" is the thing you say when youre a pussy and cant say what you actually think. you cannot be apolitical when bringing up a conversation. complacency is taking a side dont seperate the art from the artist when money comes into the equation

I would never refer to someone as an ex-vegan. If you couldn’t even investigate or do proper research to figure out what wasn’t working well for you, and instead just assumed that veganism itself was the problem, you clearly just weren’t connected enough to the ethics and the animals. #govegan 🌱

When someone thinks animal abuse isn’t cool and at the same time, thinks veganism isn’t cool, they have a disconnect. If you don’t support animal abuse, you should be vegan. It’s a stance against animal exploitation, full stop! ☯️🌱☮️

People always claim to be so smart until you ask them, “What justifies harming an animal when you don’t have to?” After that, they stop using their intelligence and start prioritizing their taste pleasure. 😩 #becompassionate #govegan 🌱

I’m not religious, but believe greed is the root of all evil. How is it that people who claim to follow Jesus don’t live that? I’m an atheist & still a better Christian than any republican. If your politics aren’t kind, fuck you & your religion! ☯️🗳️☮️

Isn’t it absurd? We have to ask people to vote for their own well-being. We have to ask ‘truth seekers’ to trust science over viral nonsense. We have to ask ‘animal lovers’ to stop funding cruelty for products they don’t need.

This made my brain hurt so much. 😩 “You literally haven’t given me a reason why I should be vegan except for the fact that animals feel.” But shouldn’t that be enough alone for you to want to be vegan?! Oh gosh. That wasn’t the worst of it, by the way.

It’s not always easy to embrace who you are, especially while living in a world where hate and bigotry are so rampant. However, don’t allow anyone to break you—they’ll eventually do that to themselves. 😃
