I just want to make space for us to take time and collectively mourn the loss of #vegan staples being removed from grocery stores and menus. I'm going to start with Trader Joe's Meatless Meatballs. Rest easy, my frozen comrades.

Fellow #PlumVillage practitioners, I'm taking the #Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet course for a second time! The course starts Oct 19! If you're interested, there are scholarships and discounts. Please feel free to DM me if you have questions or would like a discount code. plumvillage.org/zasp

I took the Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet course during Spring of 2024 and LOVED it. It really helped me transform some panic into peace in the midst of our shared #climate crisis. If you’re curious, check out the free event on October 1st! Sign up here: bit.ly/3Ikz1yr #ZASP #PlumVillage

I can't believe I'm writing this, but @nytimes.com actually published my tiny love story about my mice. Here it is (second story down): www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/s...

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Never been a better time to review this list of 198 methods of #non-violent action. "Malicious compliance" is my new favorite phrase. www.brandeis.edu/peace-confli...

I'm glad to be part of the #economicboycott. It's nice to be in #solidarity with each other and a good practice in consuming less*. My teacher, Zen Master #ThichNhatHanh taught that consumption is not true happiness. I'll add neither is fascism, bigotry or racism. *Given your privilege to do so

🚨 Your House representative is now back home through February 23. That’s where we come in. With Trump and Elon Musk pulling off a billionaire coup in real time, this congressional recess is about turning up the heat like never before. Let’s get to work: indivisi.org/muskorus

This might have to be my next read. Community is the way out of this individualistic, capitalistic, materialistic mess.

What to do when you’re overthinking:

It’s a great day to call your electeds! I just called mine and spoke to a real person. Here’s what I learned: -they keep a tally of calls per issue -you can/should call everyday -you can/should call both their DC and local office numbers Be polite. Ask questions. 5calls.org/issue/elon-m...

I was delighted to see this timely article. So many of us are anxious and scared. Thay's teachings keep me afloat—especially now. Learning to be with the present moment is a gift we give ourselves and to each other. 🙏🪷 #plumvillage #thichnhathanh www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/w...

During Lunar New Year, it’s common to eat “Buddha’s Delight”! 🥢 It’s made with a variety of vegetables that have auspicious meanings for good luck. I’ve used shiitake mushroom, carrots, Napa cabbage, bean curds, sugar snap peas, baby corn & more! 😋Recipe: youtu.be/vE_Ug-nPwgE?... #cooking #foodsky

And in the midst of it all, scenes of #joy because we all need some. Frankie, the most people-lovin’ goat I’ve ever met. #Vegan and #plantbased cookbooks. My sweet husband fluffing up some hay for a horse at the sanctuary and a glorious rainbow roast. #veganfood

America has deep problems, which is why we can’t give up. Protect the vulnerable, organize boycotts and keep fighting. My latest for The Guardian. ⬇️

Cracks are starting to show in the fragile MAGA coalition and we can block some of Trump’s most dangerous nominees. Make sure your senators hear from you ASAP: nixthenoms.com?source=bluesky

Going to share this helpful website. It's still not too late to make some calls. If you haven't called your reps before, it's not as hard as you think. - Read the script - Add a personal story if you have one - Be polite but firm Remember, they represent YOU. 5calls.org

Stay in your job. Make them fire you. Then sue for wrongful termination.

I broke down sobbing over the state of the world this morning while I was feeding the cats. But you have to keep going, cats will need more food.

Time to gooooo 🏃‍♀️💨!!!

When I question if I can stay mindful and compassionate while being engaged in this troubled world, I remember that much of Thich Nhat Hanh’s writings, and the practice we know today was born from a time of deep division & suffering. In the words of Kaira Jewel Lingo: “we were made for these times”🪷

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

"Zoos cannot teach us anything true about the lives of animals" Derrick Jensen

I cannot express the immense joy of reading Fragrant Palm Leaves while living in Princeton during the winter. I walk with Thay to his dorm at Brown Hall. No birth. No death. Our teacher continues in the present moment. 🪷 #plumvillage #thichnhathanh

Scrumptious #vegan #orgsnic dinner date tonight. Cashew sweet potato macaroni with smoked shiitakes for me and gyro oyster mushrooms for my husband. Shared a peanut butter torte after. 🤤 It’s so fun going to 100% #plant-based restaurants. Nice to see how the pros do it. We always leave inspired.

Scenes from our shift at the animal sanctuary. The more time we spend with these animals, the more we get to see their unique personalities. It’s a joy to get to know them as individuals. You just can’t help but learn to love them. This is a privilege I am grateful to have. 🙏 🪷 #vegan #veganism

Today is my 2-year veganiversary. My only regret is not doing it sooner. Veganism will burst your heart wide open. It hurts at first but the compassion that rushes in is so worth it. #vegan #veganuary

Went out for a giant #vegan #breakfast after our shift at the animal sanctuary! Vegan pancakes, Impossible sausage patties & Just Egg with fruit and oatmilk coffee. What a time to be alive (+ vegan) 🥰. Also check out this snuggly goat gal, Cocoa. It’s amazing how kind these animals are to us 🥹 ❤️

Forgot to get a picture of the final product with tomato sauce but these #vegan stuffed shells were a total HIT with the omnivore-family!! Highly recommend! thehiddenveggies.com/stuffed-shel... #veganfood

Running is the healthy version of a smoke break- an acceptable excuse to leave in any weather for an undetermined length of time at any time of day! Trapped at a difficult family gathering? Congratulations, on your new hobby! As someone who doesn’t run, I’ve put on 7 miles in 3 days 😬.

A relative accidentally put a stick of my vegan butter out at big family dinner…everyone ate it on bread. Nobody noticed. I’ll call that a win. #vegan #veganfood

This is the teaching from Thay that helped me go #vegan. This one changed everything for me. What once felt like a sacrifice became a privilege and a source of true happiness. The joy is in the choice. 🙏🪷 #plumvillage www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZUK...

Thay’s teachings on the recognizing the joy of having a ability to choose NOT to cause harm is what really helped me go #vegan #plumvillage 🪷

Hosted the in-laws for a completely #vegan middle eastern feast: Mujadara Tabbouleh Oyster mushroom “shawarma” Marinated tofu “feta” Babaganouj (+random pita chip) I am always grateful for an opportunity to show people how good cruelty-free, climate-friendly, healthy #veganfood can be

Ruminant cuties and goat loafs from my shift at the sanctuary this morning 🥹 ❤️

Not a drag queen.

I will yell this out for the cheap seats: animal rights is also human rights. Stop the slaughter houses and you stop the worker abuse. #veganism #vegan

Baked tandoori tofu, with roasted veg and quinoa for a healthy, roasty #vegan dinner Cheers plant-pals! #veganfood

To my fellow environmentalists, if you’re still consuming beef and cows milk, maybe it’s time to do some soul searching.

What do my fellow #vegans out there eat for breakfast on a typical day? I’m in a rut.

My Vegans of NJ series is live on Vegan in NJ! I interviewed Matt and Shannon, professional mushroom foragers, artists, recipe developers and all around rad #vegans. www.veganinnj.com/post/vegans-...

Not to be an annoying vegetarian, but these outbreaks are almost always due to our national addiction to cheap meat. Feels like they don't mention that prominently in these articles ever, they're just like, "don't eat spinach it's poison."

Got up super early on Black Friday for a sale on gentle goat cuddles! Unlimited time offer! Get this and so much more at your local animal sanctuary!

www.buzzfeed.com/michaelabram... It is just sad how this campaign won on misinformation and the fact that critical thinking in the United States is a dying art.

This mornings big ol’ pile of sleeping pig pigs. Animal sanctuaries are truly magical places. ❤️🐽

Proud member of the leguminati!

Love to see some data to support this! Having an effective conversation is an art form that requires loads of practice, but good to see that it’s a worthy endeavor!
