Really disappointing to see an increasing number of “leftists” being hostile towards vegans when more fascist policies are getting passed worldwide.

I appreciate the some of you who have found something meaningful in my posts on here. I’m just trying to channel more of my attempts at building community offline and figuring out how to not put myself in too much risk.

I’ve met come across some cool people on here and hope that you all continue to form much-needed connections. I’ve just thought again about how surveillance among the general populace is only going to get worse, and I don’t need more personal information compromised.

The whole TikTok ban has got me thinking about what kind of information I’ve been sharing on this platform (and other ones). Upon further reflection, I decided to delete most of my original posts on here due to privacy concerns. Hoping to post with more mindfulness and less frequency.

"The Chinese government will have your information."
Oh no, what are they gonna do? Spy on me without a warrant? Use my location data to charge me for paying for an abortion? Bring racketeering charges against me for protesting a facility where cops train to shoot civilians? Sounds scary.

what if we don't want a job? what if we don't want a commune? what if we don't want a prescription that tells us that we must sacrifice ourselves upon the altar of labor instead of the altar of capital?

what if we want to live? what if we want to be wild? what if we want to be free?

If you have a Costco membership, there are really amazing deals there on clothing. Their selection always rotates but I was just able to get great gloves for $10/pair and warm jackets for $20-25. Boxes of 50 pairs of hand warmers are just $14. I got a ton of stuff for our houseless community.

i need help. please read below and boost, thank you. 🧡

this is not hyperbole by the way. this is not at all an overreaction.
approximately HALF of ppl killed by cops are experiencing a mental crisis. HALF.

hundreds of ppl a year. killed bc someone having a psychotic break is "scary." and y'all are just doing the same shit but from the left.

The meme of the guy leaning on a railing, looking to out of frame. The text reads, "I bring a real "just pirate it" vibe to the conversation that my "which streaming service is that on" friends don't really like.

SoCal friends, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. A few things I wish I’d known as we evacuated ahead of a wildfire (that took our home in 2021) 🧵

Screencap of a tweet with a photo: Multiple boxes, small and large, are placed on a wooden table and on the floor. One box is opened showing over a 100 3M Aura masks. Tweet is from Joaquín Beltrán who wrote: "Amazing donation of respirators, masks, and Covid tests thanks to @babs_zone @MaskBlocLA that will be going to help evacuees from the fires!

In 2024 many of us faced an enormous amount of social and economic threats for standing against g3nocide. We were called “terrorists”& “terrorist supporters” Many of us encountered people who described in detail how we’d be thrown off of roof tops/assaulted. In 2025 I will stay mad about everything.

My dudes, turn this shit off. On iOS it's under Settings > Apps > Photos > scroll all the way down.

I’m not a vegan, but it’s shocking that the most popular argument against vegans is actually “wah wah im a baby you’re so annoying wow you are sooo annoying shut up”

it's one thing to simply not care about animals, or resign yourself to killing them for survival, but going out of your way to ridicule and act abusively toward others who abstain is inexcusable.
