Thank you for all the sysadmin work

This looks so good! I should really start putting tofu on my pizzas :)

Are there any good ones in Aus that deliver?

Whenever I try and find some to buy, by searching for it online, I always get "MSG-free" which upsets me so much lol

For me it took only but a few minutes of watching Earthling Ed. Easiest thing I've done in my life lmao

let me know if you have some better ones

"What's your favourite question to ask vegan communities?". Surely you won't ever run out of questions this way!

Something something tankie. Anyways what's your thoughts on vegan cats?

Tell us about a personal project, hobby, side thing, activity that you’ve been getting into lately.

A friend recently gifted me a PinePhone so I've been playing around with it and testing various linux distros on it. I've elected to use postmarketOS running Phosh and it's surprisingly usable as a phone. When it does break (due to user error of course) I can plug in a keyboard via USB-C and open a tty to fix it, or open an SSH connection to it (assuming that didn't break due to user error too).

Now, it's been fucking hot here due to a heatwave and my place—generally being much warmer than outside due to gigantic east-west facing windows (seriously, they take up nearly the entire wall)—that I haven't been able to take my ADHD meds the past few days. So being able to do nothing but tinker with linux on a phone has been interesting, but fun enough to distract me from the pains of living in this terrible accommodation lol.

Also, thanks Australia for forcing me to use a new phone due to the absolutely scuffed 3G (+ the 4G/5G devices we won't tell you about until we block them randomly!) shutdown. Fucking e-waste producing gremlins...

I'm doing my part!

I thought about not sending this as I have been very unsuccessful in advocating for veganism, but considering the other comments I thought I may as well share.

When I became vegan at 16 I had my worldview shatter. I promptly went and told all my friends about veganism, the horrors of animal agriculture, and urged them to become educated on the issue. All, with one exception, got upset at me when I talked about it and eventually stopped being my friends, partly due to me advocating for veganism. I think the last straw was when I sent the group chat Dominion after I had seen it. It was very traumatising to watch and I wanted the others to know of the horrors they were contributing to (especially considering we were all living in Australia), but apparently I was "making everything about myself" again... I ditched their sorry asses soon afterwards.

The only exception to this, ended up watching some Earthling Ed videos I had sent and ended up becoming an "ethical" vegetarian 😭. I tried explaining how the dairy industry is not "ethical", but they genuinely seem to not be able to understand or care enough to do anything about it. I was mortified that I had created a vegetarian.

Afterwards, I didn't have many friends due to being vegan—among other issues—, but the one time I did make a new friend (via falling in love with an omni) I did basically instantly convert them to veganism just by explaining that meat is murder and veganism is based lol. I think they just trusted my word for it and they are a super based vegan still after years.

So becoming vegan, I lost lots of friends (although veganism was just one of many things that amounted to that), accidentally converted one to vegetarianism, and only once successfully created another vegan. I'm quite ashamed of how little (perceived) impact I've made, but recently I have been quite proud of my one convert as they are my best friend now and I don't have to deal with carnists on a day to day basis.

I don't have the spoons to work on this at the moment, but I changed the first line in the community sidebar to what I've interpreted this community to be for.

The vegan place to discuss things.

I really appreciate the discussions from a vegan viewpoint and prefer it much over the blogspam about plant based stuff. I'll try and work harder to remove that kind of content.

Did you announce the announcement announcing this announcement?

I guess this has been announced twice now LOL

My favourite beans are Gigantes plaki and I usually eat it with rigatoni. Very interested in seeing all the kinds of beans people eat here!

Palm oil doesn’t contain animal products, so it’s vegan. Full stop.

This is a misleading argument to make. Plenty of things can be nonvegan even if it doesn't contain animal products (slave labor, horse riding, drug testing, etc.). Whether or not something merely contains animal products is not a measure of somethings vegan status. Please see the definition of veganism here: https://www.vegansociety.com/go-vegan/definition-veganism

Oat milk <3

At this rate we'll need guide lists for the guide lists! Thanks for this :)

Once you've edited this list enough that it feels ok, could we archive it or distribute it in a way that involves not using google? It'll make sure it doesn't get taken down in future and people who don't/can't use google services will be able to see it as well.

Also, I got asked to pin this (to which I did), but I didn't realise it didn't come from you! Hope you don't mind!

It should be pinned now!

Oh wow, can't believe I didn't notice that link haha. Glad to hear they ship overseas :)
