Highball With Lemon

So cool.

I do not agree with veganism as a moral standard. If it is your personal moral stance, that is fine. If you think humans eating meat is inherently immoral, I don’t want to deal with you, you’re hopeless. Vegan ideology behaves more like a sect of evangelical Christianity than a dietary choice.

Veganism is better for the environment, but claiming that it's a morally superior choice ignores cultural and economic factors that make people eat animal products.

It is not inherently better for the environment. That is the thing. When you begin trying to explain that local, sustainably sourced animal protein is better for the environment than imported plant proteins that are farmed 3,500 miles away using slave labor, they start tuning you out. Down is better for the environment than polyester stuffing, leather is better for the environment than pleather. We should work on making animal agricultural practices more sustainable instead of trying to shame everyone into eating plant products that are also farmed unethically and unsustainably.

If I remember correctly his whole beef with Anish Kapoor was over a misunderstanding about Kapoor was making sure no one could use vantablack as opposed to the reality that Kapoor was the only person who was licensed to handle vantablack due to its dangerous radioactive properties. Pretty dumb. Also, I kinda like cloud gate, it's neat looking in person.

The lab which actually owns Vantablack (which is not a pigment but a substance that has to be applied in a lab) chose one artist to work with to demonstrate its properties. The exclusion wasn't Kapoor's choice. He was just the artist they chose.

we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write gen fics. we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write character studies and stories with no focus on romance or sex. we have to get on our knees and thank the brave soldiers in fandom who write about minor characters and friendship and family with no focus on romance or sex. i know it’s hard to care about characters in a world that seems to only revolve around ships but i see you. and i love you

I remember seeing a clip of this years ago this ISNT a case of lazy translation he’s literally saying “speaks Japanese” IN Japanese

Hey I just marked up my sample ballot to take with me when I go to vote early in the Maryland primary so friendly reminder that you can do that! You can take notes into the voting booth with you! You don’t have to remember the names of everyone you want to vote for. My state sends everyone a sample ballot in the mail, which makes it super easy, but even if you don’t get that you can just write down the names on a piece of paper. Local elections are super important! If you can, take a little time to look up the candidates who are running for things like County Executive and judges and sheriff and write down who you think will do the best job, then go vote for them!
