CINNAMON the dairy cow on eating friends -- "It’s a shame, but I bet she tastes too good not to be eaten.” #amreading, #govegan #LGBTQ 01.12.2025 4:04

I’ve heard that humans like to eat pigs and call the strips of flesh bacon but have never seen it before.

When I looked horrified, she said simply, “Don’t worry, I never heard of cows being turned into baco...

Unveiling a new novel, I AM the wolf, a novel of ecology and rewilding--#govegan #amreading #uu #EarthFirst 01.12.2025 9:19

We are all animals and have much to learn from other, nonhuman animals. My little cat reminds me to be content and happy with the simple things in life—a place to sit (a windowsill will do); something to eat, and pleasure and curiosity. Peanut came to us several Mother’s Days ago, when abandoned and starving, she showed up in our backyard. She is a reminder of how a little being can come into you...
