With all my vegan bloggings lately, I’ve been wading through a lot of content that assumes that free-range meat is better. As I mentioned in a previous post I feel like environmentally it’s probably worse but that is not my topic for today. This time, I just want to point out that if you are…

Global Hunger: The Other Reason to be Vegan
Since I’ve been writing about veganism, I notice that the two major arguments that people make the most are that veganism is best from the point of view of animal cruelty (which to me is indisputable, despite the fact that many will make vegans out to be bleeding hearts for having empathy), and that veganism…

Yesterday, I decided to give myself a day off to do whatever I wanted. Except spend money, of course, since I don’t exactly have any. This is a problem because transportation is more expensive when you don’t have a car, so I found myself in my room watching YouTube videos all day. At first I…

I just feel so deeply alone. I’ve been initiating contact with my siblings but they never ever respond. The only time I actually get to communicate with them is on Christmas if I get them gifts, so I maxed out my credit card (which had a low limit, fortunately) on Christmas presents for them. Then…

Just another life update. It turns out that missing ten days of school due to an emotional meltdown puts you way behind on life obligations, so I’ve been going crazy trying to catch up. I finally turned in my last past-due assignment yesterday and now I’m trying to finish this week’s projects by the end…
