On Love
“There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.”
- George Sand
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Veganism
“I understand veganism as a process and a commitment to living a life with compassion. Veganism is not a stable or unitary response to production and consumption, it is active and comprehensive in its consideration of how best to respond to the commodification and degradation of life that takes place in the contemporary context of agribusiness production. Veganism is not even just about animals, it’s about people, the producers, workers, transporters and sellers of food, it’s about the environment, it’s about our whole relationship to the big broad world out there.”
- Emilie

Oppression Never Gets Old
“For a fairly long time, the United States had a policy of entirely open borders, and didn’t regulate immigration much at all. When the first exclusion law was passed, Congress chose to bar two groups: Prostitutes and vagabonds.[...] One thing I’ve learned in law school: Oppression never gets old. And the same bottom-of-the-barrel groups just keep getting hit.”
Women In Politics
“I especially want to thank my mother, who was born before women could vote, and who is watching her daughter on this stage tonight.”
- Hillary Clinton (via Feministe)

Groundhog Day
“Poor Punxsutawney Phil gets carried around, held up, and traumatized by weird, old men in top hats.”
Food Blogging
“Now, vegans talking about food is a bit of a cliche [...] what you eat is as big a part of veganism as what you *don’t* eat - since we have to eat something and all - so I am going to talk about it and sucks if you don’t like that.”
