Sometimes I get back looking like I robbed someone poor dudes garden lol

Don’t worry tho no garden robbing occurred, just the awful wastefulness and mismanagement of ressources of our society

Life gets slightly better when I remember that there is a stream near the unit I live in so that means I don’t gotta pay more for water to wash clothes 😜

Am I still vegan if I eat others left overs? I work and clean dishes at a non vegan restaurant I sometimes will take and eat if there is leftover form the plate, this food would have otherwise just go in the trash, yes I know it’s gross and unsanitary but money is a big struggle at the moment so if I can get a free meal that big money save that I need. All other food I buy and eat is vegan

Veganism is about doing whatever is possible and practicable to avoid animal exploitation, but only you know if you are doing that.

If you afford to not eat leftover animal products, then in my view you should avoid eating them. If these leftovers represent a necessity for you then that would be something you just did not have any real choice in, so whenever you did have the choice, you'd be buying and eating vegan. There are no easy black and white answers to situations like this, especially not when it comes to food poverty or accessibility.

If you are in a situation where you can't eat 100% plant-based right now, despite you doing everything reasonably in your power to do so, then you are still vegan without a doubt. But again, I am no kind of authority on that, only you know what is possible and practicable for you.

Some dumpster highlights from today, because I felt weird about arranging stuff for a photo with my roommate watching tv in the living room:

Frozen-solid meat, veggies, and dumplings

Freshly-abandoned orange juice

Pasta sauce

Tortilla chips

Flour, brown sugar

Pocky

Sponges, garbage bags, ziplocks

So much tea and ramen

Instant rice, mac & cheese

A bag of apples

Squeezing in a 3rd June Market

As I've mentioned, it has been difficult to find an indoor venue for the market this month. The silver lining is that all my hunting has resulted in me getting places lined up through September. So I am going the easy route and visiting another library this month.

The Kansas City Really Really Free Market will be at the Kansas city Public Library Southeast Branch. The southeast branch is located at 6242 Swope Pkwy, Kansas City, MO 64130. We will be there from 1PM to 4PM tomorrow, Friday, June 28.

Recent market events have been very active, but nevertheless there is a great deal in our collection. Here are some of the items that we will be bringing out to the library.

shoes

purses

clothes

a digital projector

bird feeder

a lamp

toys

books

an electric razor

dishes

glassware

and more!

Toothless found in a dumpster enclosure.

just added two locations to this today so i wanted to remind everyone about fallingfruit. it's a collaborative, community driven map of edible forage with pinpoints all around the world directing you to wild edibles growing in your area.

some places have more pins, some have less. if there's not many in your area and you know somewhere that wild forage grows, add it! you don't need an account and can remain completely anonymous while enabling others in your area to collect fresh food that may otherwise not be noticed or enjoyed by anyone, and you may find some spots where you live that you didn't know about before :)

Freeganism

Recicla todo cuanto puedas

[fowlfish]

It's time for an underrated character from an underrated show! Heinrich Mueller from "The Goode Family."

I seriously enjoyed this show; I found all the main characters really enjoyable and likable. But my favorite part was in "Freeganomics" when Heinrich shows up and gives his bombastic, pretentious rants to the meek and well-meaning Gerald. I loved seeing such an intent character play off such a meek one. You can tell the writers had a ball coming up with his pompous yet poetic & elegant speeches!

That episode is a good example of how this show was a counterpart to King of the Hill, where the antagonist is a morally grey figure who has funny flaws, while raising fair points. Also the voice actor did a terrific job with his intent German accent.
