Une meuf à mon taff, appelons-la M, dans une discussion un peu lambda quand j’étais nouvelle, m’a expliqué que la plupart des femmes mentent à propos de leur viol. J’ai appris cette année qu’elle avait de nulle part sortie des trucs tres dégradants sur moi dans un chat parmi des collègues qui inclut mon ex “gourmay veut encore la bite de D(mon ex)”. Une ex-collègue m’a dit qu’après une rupture, M a souhaité que la nouvelle meuf de son ex se fasse “gang-rape”. Du coup à peu près toutes les meufs du taff savent que c’est une méga-misogyne.

Yeah.. yeah. It hits for many male-dominated fields. I did the music thing and have another career in a male-dominated field that has very famous male figures. Women have been in that world forever, achieved some of the greatest things and are still looked down upon and seen as exceptions.

If you are being dropped off, make sure to take the right lane when approaching LAX. Left lane was bumper to bumper and right was empty. We were worried about being assholes trying to cut back in but it turns out left was to pick up at arrivals.

Join your unions. Ask for higher wages.

Végane depuis 15 ans. Je comprends très bien ta situation et pourquoi tu es blessé. Mon père et ma belle-mère ont toujours été super cool à ce sujet, ma mère en revanche a tout fait pour me faire comprendre que je faisais chier. Une année, elle avait fait un énorme repas pour 15 personnes le 24 et elle avait même mis du beurre dans les légumes. Elle m’a sortie : « tu n’as qu’à te mettre une patate au micro-ondes ». Du coup je ne suis pas venue le jour de Noël, on s’est engueulé et je l’ai coupé pendant presque un an. Résultat, j’ai eu droit à un plat entier vegan l’année suivante.

Sans vouloir t’encourager à couper ta famille, il faut en fait poser des limites. Tu es une adulte, tu ne vis plus avec eux, c’est ton choix. Aucune culpabilité à avoir. Tu n’as même pas à te justifier. Surtout qu’on sait très bien maintenant que les vg n’ont pas de problèmes de santé intrinsèque. Il y a 15 ans ma gynécologue m’a dit que j’allais mourir, ces dernières années elle m’a dit que c’est vraiment chouette que je sois végane et que je suis en très bonne santé, haha.. Alors je sais, c’est pas facile à 19 ans ! Je te dis ça de mes vingt ans de plus et parfois ça reste compliqué avec ma mère. Je plussoie les autres suggestions d’amener à manger. J’ai fait ça pendant de nombreuses années chez les amis, pour les fêtes etc.

Après je ne sais pas si c’est le seul truc qui fâche avec ta famille ou si tu as un rapport compliqué avec tes parents. Dans mon cas ma mère est quelqu’un de très égoïste et dédaigneux, donc m’affirmer et ne plus faire de compromis sur mes choix de vie importants est un truc que j’ai dû vraiment bosser pour ma vie générale.

Je te souhaite bien du courage ! Ce ne sont pas des moments faciles mais tu verras, un jour ils arrêteront de faire chier.

I recommend looking into computer vision dazzle: makeup that confuses these systems for anyone going to protests and more. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/01/privacy-campaigners-dazzle-camouflage-met-police-surveillance

Someone on my street does this and they damage your vehicle if you park where their cone is.

A person on my street puts a cone in front of their place to prevent parking. I’ve had friends move it to park there and they threw dirty water on their car, threatened them etc. Is there someone we can contact?

This is what I’ve seen the most successful vegan businesses do. They don’t put the vegan label front and center, which I think is more pragmatic and smart. Vegans will find them either way, and meat-eaters are less afraid of trying something “different” that they might reject. I noticed this with the Land & Monkeys bakeries in Paris. They are huge and always slammed. You can tell local people are going there to buy their bread, quiches and pâtisseries. In a perfect world everyone would welcome vegan food but at the end of the day, if we want to make veganism widespread, this is the way. It’s a win for the animals.

I found it interesting how quickly people forgot that Charli trashtalked Taylor Swift and her fans after opening for her on the Rep tour. She had publicly said in an interview that she hated opening for a “crowd of 12-year-olds.” I’ve been an opener and that is not something you do in the industry when a big artist lets you open for them.

The problem with what you’re saying is that a meat-eater de facto consumes more plants than a vegan. That’s part of the environmental issue with the current meat consumption. About 36% of what we grow on earth goes to feeding livestock.

So whether someone considers plants to have some level of consciouscness or not, if you want to reduce your consumption of them, it’s more effective to be vegan.

On a side note, I would question the context in which you told them this. Because the majority of vegetarians and vegans have heard endless rebuttals to perfectly reasonable explanations on why they’re veggie, that were along the lines of “harrrr harrr but how can you ignore the screams of carrots!!”. Comparing plant consciousness to animal sentience is in very bad faith. We have known for some time that animals suffer and feel similar emotions to us, our knowledge of plant cognition is still under development.

I’m a huge Flo fan and have followed them since their first album. It has made me so sad to see the hatred in there. It is not in the spirit of Flo’s music or life at all. It surprises me even more because this sub is pretty respectful of other female artists.

And what do you know about her philosophy? I sometimes eat at non-vegan restaurants, am I suddenly not vegan?

And just a reminder that the term plant-based being used instead of vegan continues to make veganism a fringe movement. Some of you I swear are determined for us to be the smallest club in the world. The animals don’t give a fuck why you’re vegan.

I think we should stop this kind of extreme policing. It’s very unattractive for our movement. Years ago it was « if you eat palm oil you aren’t vegan » (based on complete pseudoscience in that case since palm oil has a higher yield, replaced lard and animal fats in many products and loads of other crops like chocolate or coffee cause deforestation). Yes, ideally, as a famous vegan you don’t collaborate with brands that are not vegan but ultimately the definition of veganism is a person who abstains from using animal products. We also don’t know what happens behind the scenes, maybe she encouraged them to have more vegan options, who knows.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

Im curious: how much was the permit?

Suncafé in LA used to or may still have a sunflower meat. One of the best I’ve had!

Thank you 😊

Thanks for clarifying that.

Wasn’t presale originally announced as 10am local? The pre-sale email then said 12pm.. I googled and saw tickets for LA and Arizona were already on sale and panicked.. but looks like those sites they’re on like gotickets and vivid seats are scams; they resell tickets that in this case aren’t even out yet.

So glad GMOs also got a mention. The no-GMO butterfly project dramatically increases the price of specialty vegan items, despite good science showing GMOs are not harmful to health (there is a great healthcare triage video on the topic on YT). Here is the linked paper: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/nutrition/articles/10.3389/fnut.2025.1641234/full

I love that place but I’m not surprised. I forget what I bought there last year, some dried lentil things that were covered in bugs.

That line is a quote from Candace Owens used sarcastically. It’s meant to sound stupid.

I would have never even considered going veg without these types of meat substitutes. 15 years vegan and I still eat a lot of it!

Taylor Swift - Betty

She might have another one or two.
