The fantastic Aph Ko on PETA's "post-feminism, post-race" activism.

🍌 NEW RECIPE UP! 🍌 The softest, moistest, most delicious vegan chocolate chip and banana cake! Almost exactly like my momma used to make. ❤️ http://www.veganlass.com/blog/2016/8/5/vegan-recipe-chocolate-chip-banana-cake

"We want this protest to change the narrative that racism is not as bad in the UK as it is in the US."

I’m excited to announce that Vegan Lass has been nominated for the VegfestUK Awards 2016 in the category of “Best Vegan Blogger or Information Site”! 😱😱😱 I know it’s not long since I asked for your help with the UK Vegan Awards, but if you still like what I do as a chef and writer, please give me a wee vote over on the award page, here: www.london.vegfest.co.uk/vote. It really would mean a lot. Thank you all in advance for your support; you always blow me away with your kindness. <3 As ever, feel free to let me know if there’s anything else you want to see from Vegan Lass. Congratulations also to all my friends for their own nominations, especially Sgaia's Vegan Meats, TheVeganKind Monthly Subscription Box, Nutcrafter Creamery, and Juice Warrior! I feel in good company. :)

NEW POST! A few years ago, PETA posted soft-core porn and called it "girl power" in honor of International Women's Day. What does it mean when we frame sexual objectification as strength and empowerment? I am especially critical of this tactic given that PETA (and other Nonhuman Animal rights organizations) work within the capitalist system, a system that necessitates inequality to amass wealth. Gender is one of the original forms of difference created to justify extreme exploitation, including rape, forced motherhood, underpaid labor, and unpaid labor. - Corey Lee Wrenn

Enjoying tonight's apricot cake outside! Would be rude not to really. 😉 Recipe based on my old favourite apple cake, which is up on my site:http://www.veganlass.com/blog/2015/9/7/vegan-recipe-apple-cake

Pickling blackcurrants.

When you get ALL the fresh vanilla at work. 😍😍

Woohoo! Vegan Lass came 3rd in category in the UK Vegan Awards! Not bad for my first nomination. Next year- world domination. 😉 Huge thanks again to everyone who took the time to vote for me. ❤️

NEW POST! When the research indicates that consuming animal products leads to cancers of all kind (including breast cancer), how do corporations like Yoplait and KFC rationalize selling pink yogurt and fried chicken to fund cancer research? Like many pink campaigns, these are sales ploys, with illness exploited for capitalist elites. As such, both women and other animals are pawned for profit.- Corey Lee Wrenn
