Considering I no longer get out of breath when I walk, deal with indigestion, or have rough skin I'd say life has improved significantly since I went vegan.

Though, as I've mentioned previously, I sometimes feel a lot more lonely and isolated from the rest of the world. I live in a pretty big and diverse city so it's genuinely nonsensical to me how few vegans I've actually come across in real life (I've met, like, four other vegans, one of whom "isn't vegan" anymore.)

As for what I'm up to, I'm moving to a different house so I can finally start my garden up again. It's been way too long lol.

I actually bought champagne when Kissinger died. Was genuinely convinced he'd become the oldest man in the world just to spite everyone.

Oh, I already know he'll pull a Jimmy Carter and live to 100 just to piss everyone off.

I don't care about the US election because one, I don't live in the US, and two, the elections are fixed anyway and have been for a long time.

Not gonna lie I assumed this was an Onion article

The 2024 democrats make George Bush look like Nelson Mandela by comparison

Same people who said there's no proof that secondhand smoke is harmful, same people who compared transitioning to getting surgery to become a dolphin, etc...

I agree with you. Most of the "meat alternatives" taste like shit and I'm tired of pretending like they don't. One of the main factors in me eventually going WFPB is that I don't like plant-based versions of non-vegan stuff and would rather make my own food from scratch.

It's about as real as racism against whites or heterophobia

I'm sure it does happen but I seriously doubt it happens enough to warrant this kind of recourse.

I don't buy that false accusations ruin the man's life either because real accusations don't even ruin the man's life, as evidenced by the amount of supporters that Johnny Depp, Marilyn Manson, Michael Jackson, and others still have.

Van Gogh is another of my favourites. I remember seeing a Doctor Who clip a while ago where they bring him to the future to show him how successful he becomes posthumously. I've never seen Doctor Who before but that clip really moved me.

Yeah, I feel the same way. My favourite period of art is Surrealism (with Goya generally considered to be either the first surrealist painter or the last traditional one, included him anyway tho). We studied his work during my first year of Art History including how the sort of "hierarchy" surrounding curated art has evolved over the centuries.
