Only a small fraction of vegans were raised vegetarian or vegan. Many of us once loved animal-based foods–myself included!

Veganism isn't about lacking exposure to dishes like a beef stew; it's about understanding that the appeal of a beef stew doesn't justify animal suffering and the environmental impact.

Cerita pendek: Seekor Wowo. Dia bukan anjing saya. Dia diselamatkan oleh @yeehuan_gan, lalu dipelihara oleh @anajonessy. Jadi, mengikut sosial, anjing ini anjing mereka berdua. Saya tidak boleh pegang anjing. Mama saya marah. Bapa saya yang sudah tiada juga pasti marah. Tuhan juga pasti marah. Tapi hari-hari dia jilat paha saya jika saya keluar merokok (sesudah anjing itu sihat). Anjing ini suka menjilat. Satu hari, ada anjing namanya Bebe. Dia faham cakap cina. Saya tahu sebab bila manusianya bercakap cina, dia baik-baik dengan saya. Kata manusianya, Bebe ini manja. Saya tidak percaya. Kalau dia mengeluarkan taring dia sama seperti saitan di mata saya. Tiba-tiba Bebe mengeselkan kepalanya di kaki saya. Saya panik dan terus usai-usai kepalanya. Bebe diam dan jika saya berhenti usai, dia pandai cari cara meminta. Hari itu pertama kali saya usai anjing seperti yang selalu saya lihat dalam tivi. Selalunya tivi adalah toksik sepenuh masa tapi untuk mengusai seekor anjing, ianya tidak. Jadi hari itu saya mula mengusai anjing yang bernama Wowo. Dan saya pasti, Thales, jika kau bangun, kau akan bertepuk tangan dan berkata horay, kita dalam satu barisan sama di neraka. Jika anda baca sampai habis cerita ini, saya mengucapkan terima kasih. Jika tidak, go f yourself (yang membaca boleh tolong katakan ini kepada yang tidak membaca cerita ini). http://bit.ly/2I96cTA

Are you taking care of yourself?

Don’t exchange your freedom for the illusion of comfort and external validation.

[anajonessy]

Let’s be real, if some days your rendang is beef, your tom yum has shrimp, your dumplings are stuffed with pork and your pizza is pepperoni, you’re not ‘90% vegan.’ You’re 100% not #vegan. 🥴

Veganism is a full time commitment. There are no days off or cheat days.

[anajonessy]

Self-sabotage is hard to recognize.

[anajonessy]

If your #veganism isn’t intersectional, it isn’t veganism at all. You can’t advocate for the liberation of non-human animals while perpetuating racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, etc. Make it make sense! 🤨

Sadness hit me like a tidal wave—unexpected and overwhelming. Yet there I was, amidst the crowd, dancing with a fervor that belied my emotional turmoil. It might seem counterintuitive, dancing through sadness, but in that moment, it made perfect sense. My body responded instinctively–it wasn’t about performing for an audience, I was reclaiming a sense of agency, and it was cathartic.

Nobody congratulates you on the things you say “No,” to.

[anajonessy]

It's going to hurt but I hope you find a reason to wake up and feel your feelings, and love each day despite it all.

[anajonessy]

If I tell you I do not care, please believe me. I really don’t.

Friends don’t let friends eat dead animals.

We could get in trouble for this but fck it, I like (the idea) of us!

You can get all the protein you need on a plant-based diet. Beans, lentils, tofu, nuts, and seeds are all excellent sources of protein (they’re also an incredibly versatile ingredient, and relatively cheap depending where you live). Plant-based protein is often easier to digest and has fewer negative health effects compared to animal-based protein. You really got nothing to lose, give it a try!

It was sweltering hot, and our apartment square was fully parked. It felt just like any other Tuesday night–except it wasn’t. Tonight, everyone’s hurting.

I was hurting.

I sat diagonally across the field, away from all the trees–waiting to meet a stranger I’d only heard of… from someone, somewhere. Maybe from an anonymous lost and found ad. idk. It didn’t matter at the time, really.

My heart was heavy af, but I arrived early anyway. In my head, I’m always early.

I looked around for signs of life. Nobody’s here yet.

I waited a little longer until I fell in and out of sleep. I time-traveled hundreds and thousands of hours until my eyes burned.

The sun slowly peeks out of its hiding–a colorless void that took my breath away when I was a kid still struggling to understand that everything’s ephemeral.

I need you so much closer, but the distance seems farther than before.

I learned the hard way that sometimes, it’s impossible to look at the sun directly.
