Hey that’s awesome!

In 2025 we’re
- making coffee at home
- eating rice, beans, & veggies
- saving glass jars & bottles
- packing our lunches
- mending what breaks
- borrowing what we need
- spending less
- making our beauty products
- regrowing veggie scraps
- reading library books
- making art
- making friends

I won’t be participating in the boycott Olympics. I don’t have the time or energy, and all of these corporations are garbage. Plus, I have to eat. What I will do in 2025 is reduce my consumption overall, eat simple meals, reuse, mend, borrow. Feed the capitalist monster as little as possible.

Seeing all the Evangelicals upset Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde asked our leadership to be Christ-like is wild after they’ve spent decades imposing their version of Christianity on us. Goes to show it was never about Jesus.

With the threat of H5N1 looming and other health crises, we should all be concerned

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is what a true Christ follower looks like. Few of those called Christians make efforts to be like Christ

Done! I don’t know how I missed you. I’m already following you!

No! Not at all! I wish I had more time on pre-social media internet

Don’t know I was a kid 🤷🏽‍♀️

I miss the early days of social media. When it was still about connecting with people. When we spent hours coding in HTML to personalize our MySpace pages. When we dropped entire photo albums on Facebook and our friends actually looked at all of them. When instagram was still about pictures.

Done!

I agree

🤦🏽‍♀️ YOU are the one who came onto MY post about 2010s fad diets trying to be the vegan police. That’s literally what the original post was about. Are you dense? Please get a life and leave me alone.

It’s wild when you’re a vegan who cares about animals AND humans 🫢

As a vegan dietitian, I have a vested interest in dismantling pseudoscience and healthism within the vegan community that leads to nutrient deficiencies, gut dysfunction, disordered eating and ultimately EX-vegans. You may be ok with promoting extreme diets for the sake of veganism but I’m not 🤷🏽‍♀️

@veganrecipes.bsky.social it’s clear by your moving of the goal post that you’re more interested in arguing for the sake of arguing. That’s not really my vibe but there are plenty of people on the internet who are into that. ✌🏽

There are many risk factors for eating disorders, including a history of restrictive dieting. If you disagree you can take it up with the National Eating Disorder Association 🤷🏽‍♀️

For further context, restrictive diets (including vegan ones) are some of the biggest risk factors for developing an eating disorder. The 2010s was plagued by the promotion of restrictive vegan diets across social media (80/10/10 and the like) Hence the reference to mono-meals (a vegan diet trend)

Yes. So the subject of that sentence is “trends” with “health vegan” and “of the 2010s” both being modifiers of the subject. So nowhere in that statement does it say “veganism causes eating disorders” hope that helps!

Good thing that’s not what I said

Don’t even get me started on how the health vegan trends of the 2010s triggered a wave of eating disorders. How many fruit mono-meal girlies are still vegan today?

The shift of focus from ethical veganism to health veganism is how we ended up watching our fave vegan influencers go from smoothie bowls to raw milk (ew). How ex-vegans end up on bro-science podcasts claiming their chronic brain fog dissipated the moment a piece of salmon touched their lips.

But the reality is vegans get sick, vegans get fat, vegans die. So if our only motivations for being “vegan” are health and aesthetics, we’ll abandon it the moment the next fad diet comes along promising us a miracle.

With the wave of 2010s vegan documentaries, it seemed like everyone and their mama was going vegan. Celebrity plant based doctors told us eating plants would make us live forever. We’d never get sick. We’d all be thin and beautiful.

Once veganism became about anything but the animals we completely lost the plot

My insomnia induced ramblings for today: Health veganism (WFPB, HCLF, raw vegan, raw till 4, etc)is a stain on the vegan movement and paved the way for the ex-vegan to keto/carnivore pipeline #vegan
