I want to live in a walkable city so bad!

Fully agree. My ability to have access to healthcare, housing, food, water, and transportation is all at the mercy of my employer providing me paychecks for my time and service. This is a problem, they can just fire me when im not profitable or effective for them anymore, and all of these needs I have, now are in question of how i can get them.

And I would consider myself in a privileged position already.

This concept for me highly relates to veganism. I dont feel right paying sombody to kill an animal for me to eat it, I have the ability and am in the position to NOT eat bodies of innocent animals, So i do so because I can at least control that.

but i cant control money, i need my job for my family to be able to get resources they need. I hate capitalism, but i have mouths to feed and I dont have other options.

Thank you!

Wow that sounds like a lot. I really hate the idea of privatized healthcare and I hope we do away with it eventually. I’m sending some good vibes your way, I hope your week turns around for you. ❤ We care about you

Good luck with the job search! Sounds like new and exciting things may be on the way for you. With any life style change, be kind and patient with yourself.

That’s a big day for you and your son! Congratulations and the more empanadas the better!

Good luck on your interview!

I’d rather meet the consequences of being late, then being an unsafe driver.

Just take a moment to slow down, and look out for pedestrian crossing signs. Drive the speed limit, You will make it to your destination, it’s not a race.

I’m struggling with this myself. What my Therapist wants me to work on is self-compassion. You are doing so great, and what you are going through right now is very normal. What I want to tell you is how amazing you are by expressing this on the internet for people to read. It’s quite brave. Tell yourself something nice, because you are worth it. You are worth loving yourself for.

I even flipped the image and tried to load it with my phone, when that didn’t work I went to my computer and loaded both orientations, and both came out upside down. Yet some pictures I’ve posted I have not had any problems. Such an odd bug.

If anybody knows how to not have the pictures flip upside down, can you spill the deets?

I do feel awful for their families. But I feel more awful for the refugees in the Mediterranean.

So I want to clarify here, I know this is a tough subject. I hope to not make anybody feel uncomfortable when I’m sharing my opinion on the internet and if I did so I truly apologize.

People can do incredible things when they have the motivation. I.E. Felipe Nunes. He is a pro skateboarder who does not have legs. He could easily say, “i don’t have legs, therefore skateboarding is not an option”. Though, he had motivation to do it anyways. Right now, you might not have that motivation to do a thing, while knowing that thing is good. I have 27 years of eating meat, and 6 years of being vegan, i just didn’t have any motivation to do it until a traumatic event shifting my perspective. Not everyone will go vegan, it would be cool, but it certainly is possible for a huge majority.

Beautiful little guy!! It looks so fuzzy!

That’s correct, I agree with you. I’m expressing that I’ve seen this happen time and time again. There are already alternatives out there, not processed alternatives, real foods people have been eating for thousands of years. So when people comment “Oh, FINALLY I can be ethical!” It comes off as disingenuous, people just don’t want to change their habits even if it better aligns with their personal beliefs. I still think for a long time this will play out how Beyond and Impossible do. An option for those curious to try it, but the path forward to liberate animals will not come from an exciting new product, it will have to come from a shift in our thinking of food. I just don’t see that ever happening.

Rice, Beans, Fruits, Vegetables, Seeds, Grains, Nuts, Berries. Eat a variety of those and no animals need to die. There are plenty of vegans with Soy allergies. https://www.livekindly.com/9-vegan-proteins-to-eat-when-youre-allergic-to-soy/

I hope that is helpful, and my sentiment is not to gaslight anybody with dietary restrictions. There is a TON of money being spent to ensure people stay uneducated on what foods are actually healthy to eat.
