"To regard [depression] as being like the weather. It's not your responsibility that it's raining, but it is real when it rains, and the fact that it's raining does not mean that the rain is never going to stop. The only thing to do is to believe that, one day, it won't be raining and accept it so you can find a mental umbrella to shield yourself from the worst. The sun will eventually come up." - Stephen Fry

Gary Yourofsky: Vegan, Animal Rights Activist
Shit we don’t even think about.
Best speech ever. -
The amount of customers that come into my work wearing these jackets is astounding. It takes a lot of self control to not share the cruelty required to make them.
Please, PLEASE wear synthetic materials. These animals are bring tortured and killed for you to wear something that you could easily find in a synthetic material.

You love dogs, but eat cows. You love cats, but eat pigs. However, you’re disgusted by the people who eat the animals you love, but call those crazy who eat none.Steffen Felix

We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete then ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses that we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.Henry Beston

Over 100,000,000 (one hundred million) wild animals are murdered for their pelt every year. 25 million of which are in The United States alone.
Watching Earthlings and crying for all of the brutally abused and murdered animals of the world. We have to stop this madness. How can we justify not only murdering but HORRIBLY mutilating, abusing, disrespecting and showing such hatred toward another living being?! How is this just in any way?!
Unfollow me if you’d like, but I am on a mission to change the world for the better. Please, PLEASE throw away any animal product you own and take a step in the right direction. Fur, leather, suede, meat, eggs, dairy, products that test on animals…it’s all detestable.
God, I feel so horrible right now. I am so angry at every person who participates in these acts and thinks it’s okay to be cruel for a paycheck. We are all earthlings, so why does the fact that we lucked out by acquiring higher intelligence make us better? It doesn’t! We have no right to treat the earth and living beings as we do.
Of all the beings of the world, humans are the most detestable.
Excuse me while I go cuddle with my cat and finish this disturbing yet accurate documentary.

Working at Starbucks has it’s perks. Endless free tea. Chai tea with a pump of cinnamon dolce syrup. So delicious. There isn’t any high fructose corn syrup in it so I don’t feel TOO bad about 1 pump of cinnamon dolce.
I am so exhausted this morning. Dexter is still adjusting to living with us so he is all over the place at night. As long as he is in bed with us, he purrs and smuggles all night. But he randomly gets spooked and wanders around the apartment meowing until we bring him back to bed.
I woke up this morning and he’d sprayed in the middle of the spare bedroom. Boy, does un-neutered cat pee stink! Thankfully he is being neutered this morning, and 87% of cats stop spraying upon being neutered. The poor boy, having to get clipped! It feels inhumane but I’m told it’s necessary.
I WILL NOT, however, have him de-clawed. People keep asking, and my answer is NO. I am not mutilating an animal to save my furniture. I trim his nails and that is just fine. He doesn’t scratch anyways.
I think I’m going to finally dedicate myself to strict veganism. I’m a casual meat eater, maybe once a month I’ll have some ground turkey in pasta sauce but NO MORE. I already avoid every animal product except for meat, so I’m taking the final step (which is usually the first thing people do lol…backwards vegan).
IT IS TIME. I’m excited.
Namaste!
