I did see a speech livestreamed on Tiktok of a much smaller Pride group against pinkwashing and genocide.

You're really comparing the dairy industry to what Israel does to Palestinians? Yikes.

If bees don't like their living conditions they'll literally leave. People largely need to construct housing that makes them comfy. Poor Prole's Almanac does discuss the apiary industry and many entomologists and agriculturalists are arguing against the raising of honeybees, but it usually boils down to local pollinator competition and the industry of large trucks moving around hives and basically functioning as vorroa mite factories. The hobbyist beekeeper or subsistence farmer is not the one carrying out these sins, though.

I kinda get you there. My concerns with the current state of animal agriculture is currently more the human cost. The run-off from CAFO's, the literal slave labor these industries employ, the mass destruction of land to grow corn to feed pigs that will largely just be slaughtered to raise prices on the stuff that actually gets sold. But like, the occasional deer hunter, fisher, Eid celebratory meal doesn't bother me so much.

Ah, they got a point there, sadly. Advocating for genocide and violence towards minority groups is okay on Reddit, but political violence against open fascists like Trump and Biden is the kind of stuff that gets your subreddit shutdown.

Sorry I forgot your birthday again. Those Havana beams are all over the place lately.

I'd be okay to reach a point of light pescatarianism. Get my eggs from a friend or small farm, and get some trace seafood from the shrimp in my kim chi. But really, as long as I live with meat eaters I'll never flinch at table scraps. Better my stomach than the trash bin.

It's so you can drive home afterwards. (Though personally I prefer to drink alone with a banjo or video game in front of me.)

This is sounding like the Pynchon of posting.

I'd say the first is slightly better, but both are good in their own ways.

After a week break hopped back into Darkest Dungeon II. While other games were calling to me, this was the only game to break through the ADHD.
