Can we stop pretending that you’ll save a bunch of poor starving African kids if you go vegan? The U.S. wasted 34 million tons of food last year. We could’ve given that to starving people, but we didn’t. If everyone ~goes vegan~, we’re not going to continue to produce the same amount of grain and then just ship all of it to third world countries.
Let’s start talking about capitalism and imperialism and let’s stop pretending we’re ~saving all those poor people~ just by buying different shit at the grocery store.
Please stop using token pictures of people of the Global South when promoting veganism.

Rachel Maddow breaks it down so simply that an 8th grader could understand it:
- ExxonMobil is more profitable than Walmart, Google, McDonald’s, American Express and Goldman Sachs combined
- Exxon’s fine for the oil Pegasus Pipeline spill in Arkansas is only a tiny fraction of its daily profit
- Again, Exxon paid just a tiny fraction of its daily profit for the entire Yellowstone oil spill
This begs (at least) three questions: Why does the U.S. Government even subsidize oil companies in the first place? Why doesn’t our government have more serious fines for oil spills? AND ARE WE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE?!? REALLY? NO, REALLY?The Keystone Pipeline
will absolutely, positively spring a leakalready has sprung several leaksThe oil industry has no clue how to clean up or prevent the leaks and they aren’t even exploring new technologies for oil spill clean ups
The KXL Pipeline will go through a MAJOR clean water drinking aquifer. Is America so stupid to “drill baby drill” that we’re willing to endanger our most valuable non-renewable resource —water— for a finite fossil fuel that wind and solar tech will ultimately replace?
This needs WAY more notes.

Oh, the levels of meta post-modern irony that Foucault most of all is used to maintain a certain social class in power.
Which is why I hate him.

Ocean Roar-Mount Eerie
As the car cooled down
the sound of waves rose and blanketed.
Our minds grew into a vast night air.
We made beds in the ditch.
The loud breath of surf
exhaling and constant.
Sleeping on the wet ground.
In a dream I swim.Out past waves rolling
broad deep sky.
