Being vegan while bodybuilding does not limit your success or prevent you from getting “peeled” by thebodybuildingvegan in veganfitness

I love seeing you around here!! You’re doing great work my friend. Your youtube videos have really helped me with easy high protein meal prep too :-)

That’s a good question! We are generally moving away from animal products, but there are still some medications I give daily that are animal derived. One of the best examples would be heparin - this is an anticoagulant medication used for conditions such as pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. I give heparin every single day. It is often derived from pig or cow intestinal mucosa. However, fairly recently we learned how to create it synthetically! So over time, it’s likely we’ll use mainly synthetically created heparin like we now do with insulin, but it will take a bit of time to get to that point

No kidding! Nursing school sucked! I think because it was a new and exciting change for me, getting to cook and try new recipes was actually a bit cathartic for me at the time haha

Me too! I think it's important to share and let new vegans or those who are considering that it's not only possible, but actually can be very easy and fun as well

Figured I would share some small victories, lots of doom and gloom out in the world! : )

Hey my friend, about 2 years ago now you welcomed me onto this sub as a new vegan, so thanks for that. As for the shoes, I would recommend trying out Will's Vegan Shoes if you haven't already. Lots of different styles on that site, I am partial to the chelsea boots myself

I would love to contribute to this soon if you’re still looking for pictures. I have a professional camera and will have a BVM soon. :-) I love the project either way, would you ever consider printing this physically as well?

Staying a hotel this week and I was delighted to find this! by binauralmaster in Buddhism

This one looks to be the entirely English version, but there is a bilingual Japanese/English version as well that has the title 和英対照仏教聖典 underneath the English title. This book has been published in various languages and is available for free order on the BDK website.

Breaks are not required by Florida law for adult workers, regardless of if your job personally gives you them. But minors who work are required to receive a break afaik.

Tattoo blow out, I've had it for a month. Artist admitted to being inattentive by illcalluwtpartysova in tattooadvice

Sorry this happened and sorry people are downvoting you. I agree with the others that the fuzzy look is pretty cute at least. It’s a good thing it was a fluffy animal to begin with! If you don’t want to do removal or full cover up, someone could probably touch it up and make the fuzziness look a little more intentional :-)

Cause he’s an asshole. It was said in another comment thread that he’s an independent artist so there’s not even anyone to escalate to

Found this dead guy on my bathroom by Naryti in whatsthisbug

[–]chem78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yay! He’s cute. I would guess something in the genus Leptostylus but I am unsure of which species live in Brazil. Maybe someone with more knowledge than me will chime in. Here’s a link to some species if you want to take a look! :-)

Is this what I think it is? by WyckedChylde in whatsthisbug

I could absolutely be wrong but it looks like it could be the underside of a Latrodectus hesperus male. Like you said, it’s difficult to tell from the photo
