My way of reminding myself that it's ok to (try to) take a break sometimes. #vegan #animalrights

Finding “Little Lizards” by @maxrauhman.bsky.social felt like kismet. As I was pondering the idea of publishing author interviews late last year, I happened across it and knew I had to talk to him. I hope you’ll find his interview as entertaining and enlightening as I do!

A song inspired me to write this, but as I thought more about how our society fetishizes animal abuse, I realized that we do those same things to women. It's kind of incredible, and disheartening, how influential the stories we consume are on our perception of other humans and animals.

Even though not all the movies I discussed in today’s post had the kind of positive message about animal rights that I’d’ve preferred, they at least gave me hope that children will *always* love animals and that the bonds kids make with their favorite animal characters will stay with them forever

Why do we normalize showing violence we can't change while hiding the violence we can? My thoughts on media, complicity, and where we draw the line. #veganuary #govegan #animalrights #normalizingviolence

I’ve wanted to talk about this topic for 16 years, ever since I first heard Edward Cullen call his family of animal-eating #vampires vegetarians in Twilight. I wrote this for the little girl I used to be, now that I have the words and confidence to express how I felt all those years ago.

Better watch out! Santa Claus' monstrous minion is coming to town in today's post about Krampus and other beasts of #christmas folklore.
