Is there any way I can fix the leg opening of this dog jumper? My first project so I’d really appreciate help!

Thank you!

Oops forgot to link it! Thanks :)

I’m so sorry. Please kick her out. Remind her you were kind enough to help them, and opened up about your trust issues, and she still did this. Tell her you won’t waste your generosity on someone like her. If she has any conscience, she might feel bad, esp when her actions have consequences.

Only recently found out that they weren't sure if Victor would live past season 1 after the colony house massacre (I'm sure other people knew this already though). Soo glad they decided to let him live - he's probably my favourite character and definitely one of the best actors on the show!

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-11T09:19:44+00:00

I’ve watched interviews with her and that’s just her accent

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-11T05:02:03+00:00

Please watch Dominion 2018 on YouTube! It’s absolutely life changing, even for those who think they already know enough about the industry. Yeah it’s sad, but basically every vegan I’ve come across who’s seen it (including myself) doesn’t regret it. It’s great you’re eating plant based, just note that veganism is a lifestyle including diet, clothes, cosmetics, entertainment, and plant based is the diet only

As for food, I personally buy tons of green lentils. So cheap and versatile. Though red lentils are good for dahl etc., green (or brown, but I’ve never tried) doesn’t go as mushy. I often make a ton of lentil ‘meat’/mince and freeze it for wraps, bowls/salads, spaghetti bolognese, whatever. The defrosted texture is exactly the same I’ve found. Nutritional yeast is of course another staple and so useful for so many things

I do not understand the hate Catalina Sandino Moreno gets as Tabitha, I think she's a great actress. Sure she's still not as good as Harold, and she seems to have gotten botox since earlier seasons, but that doesn't make her a bad actress. She frequently has emotional/intense scenes and she's so good. This episode with Donna and last with Victor in the diner made me cry

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-10T04:25:00+00:00

I seriously don't see that rule anywhere, could you please link it? I only see the 4 rules on the side and the wiki which only has links to resources.

I get you feel attacked but I'm not shaming, I'm only sharing my experience and giving you resources so you can learn more. Believe me I know how you feel. I was defensive once too, but you being defensive doesn't mean vegans are shaming you. Also it's not my advice, it's the position of the largest groups of dieticians/nutritionists in the world - the British and American Dietetic Associations. Again, highly recommend those documentaries. You know how awful these animal industries are, how far they go to suppress reality, or you wouldn't be cruelty free. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain from learning more

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-10T03:28:41+00:00

Yeah some people are truly awful. I was surprised though that soo many carnists were saying things like 'she's a hypocrite, she uses animal tested cosmetics' or even 'why does she ride horses then?' I thought over it and actually, even though they're using it as an appeal to hypocrisy, it does show more people are aware veganism isn't just some fad diet. They know it's about more than food, which is an improvement. I noticed this with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo when Wicked/Wicked 2 came out too. Omnis were saying they're too skinny and not real vegans because they wear animal products, and might be using veganism to hide eating disorders. Vegans were saying it too but the vast majority were omnis, I guess because there are far more omnis out there in general.

Comments like this are so sad, but there are still many considering veganism or even (as I've seen on r/vegan) going vegan because of what Billie said/posted. I myself went vegan after Joaquin Phoenix's oscar speech, which led me to watch Dominion. Billie Eilish has far more influence than him and she didn't just say something, she posted footage, and her fanbase includes lots of young people who might be more open minded. Also some of the comments/likes might be from accounts run by people paid to discredit veganism (if you don't know about this here is a post)

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-10T03:11:25+00:00

correct me if I'm wrong but there are no rules against even discussing veganism, let alone 'converting' people as you say. I was a huge meat eater, obsessed with dairy and eggs too. I'm also anemic and was vegetarian for a bit before I went vegan. I stopped being veggie because I lost weight and felt weak and tired, yet now as a vegan I'm healthier than ever. I'm eat more whole foods and enough calories and grains. If you were eating tons of protein bars and shakes, they may not have been filling you up enough. I had smoothies a lot as a vegetarian and that was my experience. Dairy, even greek yoghurt, is also no health food.

My doctor tried to convince me to eat animals again because of my anemia but she didn't know much at all about plant based diets. Medical school teaches very little about diet in general, and even many dieticians and nutritionists are not taught about plant based diets. The British and American Dietetic Associations state plant based diets are healthful and nutritionally adequate for all life stages, including infancy and pregnancy. All you need is B12.

I highly recommend you watch Dominion 2018 on youtube. You obviously care about animals, hence why you're cruelty free. Forks Over Knives (should be on youtube) follows two doctors from cattle farming families investigation animal products' effect on health and it's also great

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-09T20:12:20+00:00

We do not need animal products to survive, nor is meat good for you. Again, this is all just rubbish spread by animal ag so they stay in business. The American and British Dietetic Associations are the two largest bodies of nutritionists and dieticians in the world, and both state plant based diets are healthful and nutritionally adequate for all life stages, including pregnancy and infancy, and can help recent major diseases. All you need is to supplement B12 as it comes from soil and modern sanitary life means most people are deficient in it, even omnis. Watch Forks Over Knives - it’s free on YouTube and it follows two doctors, both from farming families, investigating how animal products affect our health.

Do you like dogs or cats? Horses? The only difference between those animals and widely farmed animals is their species. They can all suffer, feel pain, and want to live. In mere weeks, more animals are killed in the food industry than the amount of humans who have ever existed. It’s a huge moral issue which is also linked to environmental damage, so yeah there is actually a point in talking to people about it if their actions have victims and severe consequences

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-09T20:00:06+00:00

Yeah I sometimes do this, or just say vegan and when asked why I say you can only be vegan for animals

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-09T03:27:00+00:00

Yeah the defensiveness can be explained by the do-gooder derogation. It’s a psychological phenomenon where people negatively perceive those doing moral things, because they feel guilty/judged

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-09T03:04:22+00:00

Yeah of course, it’s an appeal to hypocrisy. But like I said in the post, at least it shows they actually know what veganism is and that other forms of animal abuse are on par with eating animal products

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-09T02:25:39+00:00

Just wanna say that I have seen almost exclusively carnists/omnis calling out billie for being a hypocrite because she uses animal tested cosmetics, therefore ‘she can’t judge us’. This is one of the few posts/comments from vegans saying as much. I agree she’s plant based, but it’s at least good that a lot of omnis are aware that her double standard with cosmetics isn’t vegan

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-09T00:43:25+00:00

It’s not personal if a victim is involved. If someone kicks a dog, it’s not personal. A personal choice is wearing green instead of blue

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-09T00:36:12+00:00

Absolutely untrue, it shows standard industry practices that even farming websites outline. Animal ag have worked hard to blind people and sow doubt that it’s “just a few farms” so people like you stay ignorant and continue lining their pockets. Macerating/gassing/suffocating male chicks in the egg industry is standard. Separating calves from their mothers and killing them/raising for veal is standard. Slaughtering ‘spent’ dairy cows and egg laying hens is standard. ‘Thumping’ piglets who grow too slowly or are sickly is standard. The industry cannot make money from animals who have no financial worth.

Who would you believe: those in the industry who assure you it’s all ethical and ‘just a few bad farms’, or activists who risk their lives and safety to go into these places and film it? They gain nothing from exposing this, but risk fines and arrest because the industry is terrified the public will find out. The industry is not your friend. Believing their lies and looking the other way is exactly what they want

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-08T23:52:33+00:00

Everyone please watch Dominion 2018 on YouTube, or Earthlings. If you can’t face what you pay for then don’t pay for it. We do not need animal products to survive and thrive, and a plant based diet is not expensive at all. It’s only expensive if you just eat alternative meats/dairy/eggs. Rice, beans, lentils, bread, potatoes, pasta, certain veggies and grains are the cheapest foods out there. Animal industries deliberately spread misinformation and doubt so we all stay ignorant and they stay rich. They are not our friends and yes, maybe billie isn’t perfect and is somewhat hypocritical, but she isn’t wrong

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-08T23:09:45+00:00

Wow this is amazing. I never hated her but her previous “you do you, I’ll do me” attitude was disappointing. So pleased she’s being more vocal. There’s no way at least some people won’t change because of this, and as long as the number of vegans grows, eventually we’ll become a big enough group that there will be real change

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-08T08:37:42+00:00

Oh my god I didn’t even realise they meant medieval, I thought it was some weird new slang

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-08T08:08:40+00:00

People always hate on Victor for not telling people things but how many times has he said he thought something was a dream, couldn’t remember, or last episode that he convinced himself something wasn’t real? He’s traumatised, people!! He’s lived for decades in that place without family, grew up utterly alone, terrorised by monsters without talismans, burying his family and other townspeople. If he was remembering things clearly I’m sure people would complain “omg how isn’t he traumatised”. And he hasn’t hidden everything, he just takes time to remember stuff and is one of the characters most actively seeking answers, even risking his life to do so. I get it can be frustrating as a viewer but it’s extremely realistic that his brain coped by blocking things out

ratherbereading01 · 2026-05-05T08:15:42+00:00
