why the fuck is our country so fucking stupid??? why are we REFUSING to test people for coronavirus?? why are we refusing to elect the guy trying to give us FREE HEALTHCARE??? why are bailing out the richest people in our country??? why are we stupider than everyone else???? WHY.
Why do y’all mock people who care about the environment? Y’all realize that when natural disasters continue to take over our planet, the poor, the “low class” are going to be the ones that suffer the most? Caring about the planet isn’t a “white hippy” thing, it’s humanitarian.
So y’all gonna tell me Brock Turner was charged with three sexual assault felonies and only 3 months in jail but an actualllll animal lover is facing 60 years for freeing some innocent ass turkeys? ok
y’all all the fucking vegan stables are gone. no rice, no beans, no bread, no chips, no oat milk, no kombucha, no peanut butter, no cereal, no potatoes???? i thought y’all couldn’t afford vegan food??? i thought we were all privileged??? make it make sense!!
i tried to tell my classmates that we should all start a discord of 100 people & each month we all send $5 to someone so every month someone would get $500 which could really help someone out and most of them thought it was stupid like y’all don’t really believe in mutual aid
if you’re working a full time job, you should be able to afford to live on your own, buy a variety of groceries and fill up your tank and still be comfortable. this shouldn’t be controversial.
y’all are so racist and xenophobic. y’all eat animals every day of your life & call vegan, animal free food “gross” while thinking eating certain types of animals is “gross” PICK A SIDE. you either an animal eater or not. the cognitive dissonance of it all.
hey, did you know that studies have consistently shown that the U.S. *purposely and knowingly* gives low income areas high-priced, low quality fruits and vegetables, a thread:
Reasons you should not lie to your vegan friends about food:
• it can trigger certain mental illnesses
• some people are allergic/intolerant to animal products
• you can get extremely sick if you haven’t had animal products for a while
• it’s a SHITTY thing to do
One week I’m posting fruit smoothies, tracking every single thing I eat into some random app and stretching every morning and the next week I’m I’m eating an entire pizza in the dark with a bottle of wine and no one has seen me in several days. There’s no in between.
my chemistry professor told me that you can either work and go to school, have a social life and go to school or work and have a social life but you can’t have all three and y’all wonder why college students fucking struggle.
idk why people be so afraid to try vegan food???? like it’s main ingredients are literally just plants??? like y’all eat decaying dead animals. grow up.
Please don’t lie to vegans about what is in their food simply bc y’all hate us. I had a waiter lie to me about there not being dairy in my meal after I asked him to double check FOUR times. I got my food, took a bite & immediately realized. I am allergic to dairy! It’s not cool!
2009: chris brown assaults rihanna
2011: he threw a chair at a window during GMA
2012: violates a restraining order at a halloween party dressed in an islamophobic costume
2013: he threatens to shoot frank ocean and punches him over a parking space
don’t worry, there’s more.
@nebulapirate
poor people are allowed to buy themselves nice things. i wouldn’t care how they spent their $. that’s the point. it’s an extra cash flow to help improve your life in however you see fitting.
@SHULAGOD
i’ll never forget how when disabled and autoimmune compromised people were asking y’all to simply where a mask around them and y’all responded with some weird conspiracy theory facts y’all found on youtube
Y’all be crying when deers and cats get hit by cars or when dogs get eaten in other countries but will make fun of vegetarians and vegans who care about animals being hung by their legs in an assembly line 24 hours a day on the way to get their throats slit. backwards.
sharks do not carry their babies for 2-3.5 fucking years with a 25 year lifespan so humans can make soup out of them. just let them chill. eat something else.
People being MAD at Jaden Smith for feeding FREE vegan FOOD to unhoused people just shows me that y’all don’t actually give a shit about unhoused people, y’all complain about everything.
It’s odd that when children kill a cat or a squirrel in their backyards, that’s a sign of being a serial killer or having mental issues but if a child CRAVES killing whole ass elephants, giraffes, deers and other exotic animals for shits and giggles they are considered customary.
it takes 2 seconds to retweet my NEW vegan vday delivery treats for the Sacramento area (black owned and cooked with love 🌱💝)
*shipping options available*
DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE:
they are not your friends. they are not there to protect you, regardless of your race. their presence there is to protect the interests of the state.
There’s no such thing as sustainable seafood. Don’t fall for the scam. Fishless oceans are predicted by 2040. That’s 22 years from now. Taking anything out of the ocean (except for our own garbage and waste) isn’t sustainable.
as an american citizen, you have the right to assemble. the police and other governmental agencies violate this right through mass arrests, illegal use of force, criminalization of protest and other means that threaten our right to free expression.
2. how to stay safe during a protest:
- write phone/legal aid numbers on your body. bring a sharpie for others to do this.
- ALWAYS use the buddy system. don’t be selfish & stick to your own friend group. if you see someone alone, invite them into your circle.
1. what to do if you are detained or stopped by the police:
- do not resist, even if you think they are violating your rights.
- calmly ask someone to record.
- ask if you’re free to leave. if you are, walk away.
the guy at Jamba Juice warned me that the bowl i was getting was vegan so it’s probably gross and im like ??? im vegan and he’s like oh ok you’re probably used to that gross taste then...like are non vegans ok? y’all out here not eating fruits and veggies or what?
people really be like “gross what is in that vegan burger it’s so processed” like bitch you eat carcinogenic *rotting* flesh from the corpses of several different animals that was literally blended together into a circle BYE

*600k retweets 720k likes*
post: “the meat industry purposely pollutes low income areas & is responsible for 91% of amazon destruction. pls care about this”
*2 retweets 25 likes*
can we start a thread of eco friendly vegan, cruelty free products like water bottles, companies to support, anything that is sustainable and animal free? i think it would be beneficial.
personal note on using your privilege: i have seen white people, countless times, place themselves in front of BIPOC when police draw weapons/approach protests. it often works.
do not be a person that just acknowledges their privilege, use it for good.
5. what to do with your phone during a protest:
- put your phone on airplane mode
- disable face ID/touch, replace with 6-digit passcode instead
- spreading awareness is great but avoid posting photos of people that include identifying features.
4. if you are threatened with or under arrest:
- you have the right to know why you’re being arrested. calmly ask. if they refuse to provide a reason, stay quiet and ask for legal representation immediately.
do not give any information or sign anything without a lawyer present.
Panda Express is adding vegan options, Carl’s Jr. got the beyond burger, the uk got vegan pizza at papa johns, grocery outlet is carrying expensive vegan goodies @ discounted prices, Taco Bell is getting a vegan menu, this is so positive for the planet and sustainability!
this wasn’t a developed plan. the assignment was to develop a concept & build on it as a group. this was just an idea. also, the point was to help people. a lot of y’all spend $5 mindlessly but cringe when it comes to helping others which is fine you’re just not my type of people
A one year vegan lifestyle saves:
• 401,500 gals of H2O
• 10,950 sq ft of rainforest
• 14,600 lbs of grain
• 7,300 lbs of CO2
• 365 animal lives
By going vegan you save & reduce shit.
fast food vegan options are so gross and unethical i can’t even believe that ok so now that the bitter vegans are gone, Burger King has the vegan impossible whopper 2/$6!! this is not a drill!! if you haven’t been able to try it yet this is the perfect time!!
Why is it that when kids kill dogs and squirrels in their backyards, they are considered psychopaths but Kacee is allowed to call killing an exotic, innocent animal a “success”.
yesterday i protested for 13 hours straight. i saw police rush a girl who was less than 120 lbs. i was tear gassed to the point where i wanted to puke from pain. i watch a girl get shot in the face. the police is the biggest terrorist organization in America. keep fighting.
If you live in America, you’re brainwashed. You have been led to believe if you don’t dedicate 8+ hours, 5+ days a week to capitalism or school, you don’t deserve basic healthcare, housing, food/water and so many other basic human rights.
3. don’t know where to seek legal aid?
before attending/during a protest, visit .
NLG chapters are organized into regions. find. your region and write their number on your body.
encourage others around you to write that same number on their body.
it’s not a coincidence that when you go vegan, you can find food options at thai, mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Nigerian, Ethiopian, Mediterranean, etc cuisines and restaurants but Applebee’s and Buffalo Wild Wings, food lacking culture and flavor? nah.
imagine a place that charges extra for cows milk because it’s bad for the environment instead of extra for plant based milk which punishes people with sustainable lifestyle and allergy restrictions.
y’all really can’t give up seafood to help save the fucking ocean? not even after finding out that 46% of plastic in the ocean comes from fishing nets? that shit don’t even smell good. we got all this food in America & y’all gonna chose one of the most unsustainable food options.
“Vegans 🥕need to care more about HUMAN 🍔🇺🇸rights before they fight for cows🐮!!!😤😤!”
- 83% of dairy farmers in NY are exploited immigrants
- low income areas are having shit sprinklers sprayed towards their homes
- 91% of the Amazon has been destroyed for animal agriculture
8. if you see someone being detained, what should you do:
- record the interaction. police can not demand to view or delete any footage without a warrant.
- use calming affirmations towards the person being detained. they are likely scared. be there for them.
i truly don’t understand how people find this entertaining or enjoyable. are we that disconnected from compassion that we laugh at innocent creatures fighting for their lives? smh...
9. use whatever privilege you have to protect others.
if you see a disabled person struggling, offer to help. find medics to assist people experiencing anxiety or having a panic attack. if you see a BIPOC being harassed, surround them.
my manager was telling me a story about one of his hoarder friends that kept his dead cat in the freezer because he “hasn’t had time to bury him yet” and he’s like “who keeps dead animals in their freezer?” and the vegan in me jumped out and said lol everyone who isn’t vegan.
people will try one tofu dish, have one bad veggie burger, eat unseasoned veggies or straight up never try a vegan dish and will proclaim that they don’t like “vegan food” but will full on acknowledge that they’ve had nasty non vegan food and will still try other versions of it.
stay safe, be on the right side of history. black lives matter, no one is illegal, we protect us, land back, all oppression is connected and free palestine. 🇵🇸
Sharing this because I haven’t seen much coverage on social media. Arianna Delane, the 4 year old niece of George Floyd, was shot in her bed in a targeted attack. It took police 4 fucking hours to show up.
10. remember that we protect us. ignite this chant as a reminder to everyone present if you have to. communities are supposed to help one another. don’t be a sell out, offer support, share resources, food and water. be a kind soul.
“no one wants to eat rice and beans everyday” okay first of all, rice and beans are THAT bitch. crunchwraps, tostadas, burritos, burrito bowls, hard shell tacos, soft shell tacos, over tortilla chips, by itself, taco salads, etc. and cheap as fuck? bet.
6. police want everyone to leave the area, what should that look like:
- shutting down a protect through a dispersal order must be the last resort for police.
- a clear danger must be present.
- police must give adequate time for protesters to disperse and an exit route.
7. what are your rights if you’re being stopped or detained by police:
- you do not have to consent to you or your belongings being searched. if you consent, anything can be used against you in court.
- police can conduct a “pat down” if they suspect you have a weapon.
people really be like “omg vegan food is full of chemicals and unnatural ingredients” as if arsenic, hormones, stomach linings, pus, parts of totally different animals than the one you’re eating, pharmaceutical drugs, diseased organs and actual shit isn’t used in meat making.
so anyways:
- beyond meat is saving 250,000 animals annually
- major fast food chains adopting vegan options allows low income/vegans living in rural areas to enjoy vegan junk food
- 1 meat burger = 660 gals of water
please show these companies that we want more vegan options!!
beyond meat uses 99% less water, 93% less land, 90% fewer GHGE, 46% less energy, is healthier, cholesterol free, less fat and sodium and requires less animals to die than actual beef. to think beyond meat isn’t a positive step for veganism is just odd to me.
“Can we have an affordable, nationwide vegan fast food joint?”
no :)
“What about vegan pancakes from IHOP?”
no :) :)
“Vegan options at mainstream restaurants?”
no :) :) :)
“How about - -“
*removes the egg from the salad emoji* :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
if you can not participate in a protest for whatever reason, you can still help!
drop-off supplies! (water bottles, allergy-friendly foods/snacks with ingredients labels on them, sharpies, cards with legal aid numbers on them, masks, makeup remover wipes, hand sanitizer, etc)
to everyone that is considering adopting a vegan lifestyle recently due to environmental destruction, thank you so much for being a decent person. it’s one of the cheapest, eco friendly, kindest lifestyles you could adopt & you’d cut your footprint by 50%. the planet thanks you.
I hate seeing people follow the keto diet. This girl i follow is doing it and all she posts is pepperoni pizza, bacon, eggs and a small amount of vegetables. Why are y’all convinced that a diet full of cholesterol and fat is beneficial to your overall health. Stop.
also the Gardein was sold out. beyond meat was sold out. morning Star was sold out. sweet earth was sold out. califia farms was sold out. oatly was sold out. so delicious was sold out. light life was almost sold out. field roast was sold out.
explain yourselves, HUH.
STEAL FROM THE RICH idgaf y’all capping for these billion dollar industries while people are literally sleeping on the streets. i feel nothing about it. 10/10 would recommend.
Walmart coming out with vegan cheese. Taco Bell adding vegan meat. Peet’s coffee having a vegan breakfast sandwich. More and more vegan content creators showing you vegan recipes on a budget. Love how accessible & mainstream veganism is becoming.
keep in mind, beyond meat has:
• 20g of plant protein
• 20% of your iron
• 30% of your niacin
• 100% of your vitamin B12
• 40% of your zinc
the first ingredients (meaning the main components) are water and pea protein.
stop letting twitter people make you fear food lol
this is more of a personal preference, but beyond meats are highly processed and remove the plant nutrients, as well as containing added sugar, colouring, and chemicals like carrageenan and methylcellulose
