Jessica and Katie, you guys rock and it helped so much to wake up to this!! Thank you xoxox

yeah I hope that plant based takes off both as a word and a concept. Right now not a lot of people know what it means which makes it much less useful. i think it would also be preferable if we could describe vegan food as plant based and just reserve vegan for the set of ethical beliefs and lifestyle that includes a plant based diet. It's always going to be complicated if your food is vegan but you are not. And it might make things a lot less alienating for people in the process of becoming vegan, or who just can't right now - its very clear that you can tag a picture of your food plant based or joint a plant based forum even if you aren't strictly vegan without offending anyone. 

Yeah I see where you are coming from and I really do understand how the word got to mean what it does ... but I guess it's the fact that we have that definition of veganism and defend it so closely that i take issue with. I do think it can be a process for people and i feel like this is counterproductive to people are on the right path but aren't there yet. And I think that language is important in shaping goals and ways of talking about it, and while I think it can be good to think of veganism in this way, I can't help but feel overall it's counterproductive to the actually reducing consumption of meat and animal products (in addition to being alienating and dismissive to people who simply aren't able to be 100% vegan due to circumstances) 

thanks! Seriously this is such a relief. I felt closeted and left out the whole time I was in that relationship. and that was dumb considering I had zero desire to BE in the closet and had come out really young but yeah i was tired of being jealous of every obviously gay couple I saw and I do feel better knowing I can be louder about my sexuality now I don't have a "boyfriend" to expain

Ah thank you guys :) It makes my brain happy too, and having all the similar looking apps on the same screen helps me tell them apart and not accidentally open the wrong one just because they look alike. And Katie I had not seen that blog but oh my it's so pretty! I wonder what the process for making it was?

when i was learning spanish it was the same way. after spanish class my thoughts would be random spanish sounds, then random words, then words that had something to do with something I was seeing, then simple phrases. I never tried to do this, but that switch by my internal dialogue was really helpful when I war learning it

thanks. I guess the good part at this point is I already have almost no responsibilities so there is no school or anything to get behind in. So I really can take it easy without too much trouble
