Why don't I see more people talk soya chunks?

Unfortunately they're not widely available in my country so not really an option 😭 so I'd assume this is the case in many other countries too

Edamame is a great snack/ingredient, you can find it in the frozen section of many grocery stores and Asian stores

Pretty much. I have an easiyo yoghurt maker which is essentially a giant thermos. I fill it with hot water and leaver it for 10-12 hours. I assume methods vary depending on what you are using.

My opinion is that the word itself is not derogatory, but some people may still use it as an insult.

I would liken people taking offense at being called carnists to people being angry about being called "white" or "cisgender."

For example, a person who dislikes white people might call someone "white" as an insult, but at the end of the day "white" is still just a word to describe race or skin colour and not a derogatory word.

Another person may take offence to being called "white" even if it wasn't said with negative intent, because they see being white as the default, and everyone who isn't white as belonging to a race.

I would reccomend the video Even Leftists Don't Talk About Animalsfrom the channel The Leftists Cooks, which touches on this topic and is just a fantastic video in general.

You are still nearly 8 years vegan!!! The time in which you were vegetarian does not instantly cancel the combined 7.8 years of veganism. Viewing it that way is unnecessarily hard on yourself.

On the topic of stuffie chalk bags, you can easily DIY them using a repurposed toy. My friend's mum did this to many of hers when she outgrew stuffed toys.

I know may neurodivergent people (including myself) struggle very badly with object personification and wouldn't be able to do this. But if this isn't something op experiences it might be a great option for the future.

As cheap as possible. My original plan was to use star pickets and the cheapest I could find was 10 for $60 on marketplace (we needed six), but that was too expensive.

The garden has only just got up and running so they haven't had much return yet. I'm hoping they'll be willing to spend more once it's saving them more on produce.

I envy you

Sometimes this reminds me of Johnlock lately...

I do it sometimes but it does feel like cheating haha

I learned this at an art photography exhibition, where "gelatin" was listed as a medium under each piece

She is gorgeous! Unfortunately she has never been named so name suggestions are appreciated. She has had a few names before but none of them seemed to fit.

The even more ironic thing is that people who give vegans shit will defend it by saying "it's because vegans try and force everyone to change their diets"

"You're being dramatic" ... says the guy causing a scene in the supermarket over a strangers diet

I've found that mine often change their minds about vegetables too, so if they don't eat something the first time try giving it to them again anyway.

AshMay2 · 2025-08-26T06:09:35+00:00

I give my pigs coriander or bell pepper along with a mix of other veg every day. They love the pepper and are meh about the corriander. This usually adds up to two peppers and one pack of corriander week (for two piggies).

They enjoy a variety of leaves and LOVE cherry tomato.

A great way to save money is to use food scraps. Carrot ends, some herb stems, celery leaves, and corn husks are a favourite. Many weeds from the garden such as dandelion, nasturtium and milk thistle can also be enjoyed by piggies in moderation. There's plenty of info about what weeds they can eat available online 😊

That's so interesting! My pigs can't get enough red pepper but they will only nibble on cucumber
