If only people would think of this.

People act like going vegan means giving up flavor, but letโ€™s be realโ€”chicken is just a vessel for seasoning. If it wasnโ€™t for lemon pepper, buffalo, or teriyaki, would you even care? Exactly. No need to harm chickens. Just put that on tofu and keep it moving. #vegan #govegan #tofu

What if plant-based meals were the normโ€”fresh, affordable, actually nourishing? Telling people to โ€œjust eat betterโ€ without real options isnโ€™t advice. Itโ€™s privilege. #govegan

Food empowerment starts with access, not just choice. Schools serve kids whateverโ€™s cheapest, then we act shocked when nutrition is a problem. #foodempowerment

Damn, I hope it heals up. I'm debating whether I will be competing this year.

The best mornings are when you wake up from a great night of sleep ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฟ am I the only one who doesn't remember what they dream about most of the time?

Access to fresh, healthy food shouldnโ€™t be a privilege. Letโ€™s push for solutions that make it a right, not a luxury. #vegan #animalrights

If someone is working to be more vegan with limited options, Iโ€™m here for it and happy to support them. The goal isnโ€™t perfectionโ€”itโ€™s making the best choices with whatโ€™s available.

This isnโ€™t just about access; itโ€™s about choice. Everyone deserves the option to eat healthy without it feeling like a financial or logistical marathon. No one should have to debate between buying lettuce or paying rent.

And even when there is fresh food nearby, itโ€™s often way more expensive. Organic blueberries shouldnโ€™t cost more than your hourly wage. โ€œHealth is wealthโ€ shouldnโ€™t be literal, but here we are.

Food deserts donโ€™t happen randomly. They exist because of systemic inequalityโ€”underfunded communities, disinvestment, and decisions that prioritize profits over people. Meanwhile, Whole Foods is chilling in the suburbs like itโ€™s VIP access only.

For folks in these areas, โ€œhealthy eatingโ€ isnโ€™t a cute Pinterest board; itโ€™s a privilege. Imagine trying to meal prep when your only options are instant noodles and chips. You canโ€™t โ€œjust eat cleanโ€ if your closest spinach is two bus rides away.

If youโ€™ve never heard of a food desert, think of it as a neighborhood where finding fresh produce is harder than finding parking in downtown Portland. No grocery stores, no farmersโ€™ marketsโ€”just overpriced corner stores with sad bananas, if youโ€™re lucky.

That song is sick!!!! I've been listening to gorilla biscuits songs on repeat.

One of the biggest shifts for me was realizing animals arenโ€™t thingsโ€”theyโ€™re someone.

Dogs & cats? We get it.
But cows? Pigs? Chickens?
Same deal.

Some are sassy.
Some are shy.
Some just wanna vibe in the sun.

Once you see that, it changes everything. #animalrights #vegan

A Complete Unknown is such a beautiful film. Gave me a glimpse into Bob Dylanโ€™s life I didnโ€™t know I needed. Timothรฉe Chalamet absolutely delivers a great performance.

On the same page!! We have some good movement and I'm not sure how funding with look at the moment. Wilson wants to push overnight shelters

No side is better. Doing the same things in different ways ๐Ÿ˜ซ

I do know how much it would cost, and I know there is a lot of work involved. However, that doesn't mean we can't get creative.

Portlandโ€™s great, but we need to do better for the houseless. Businesses care more about pushing them out than helping.

Housing-first works it just needs funding. And real talk? We need more housing, period.

Most of us are closer to being houseless than millionaires.

Whenever someone understands โ€œyes and,โ€ my heart smiles. Just a little. I think they slightly get me. If you know, you know. Just some improv ๐Ÿ˜‰

Every day is a great day to show animals love whether theyโ€™re in your home, in a field, or on the menu. Skip putting them on your plate ! #vegan #animalrights #animalsaremyfriends
