Veganism is pro fossil fuel

there is a lot of weird things about what you're saying, but for one:

the same amount or more petroleum would be spend on cultivating food for the to-be-slaughtered animals and transporting the meat around.

I'm not a vegan (anymore), but veganism is still the lesser evil here

The Secret of Happiness

While this post is talking about the internet, in general it is important to talk about "politics" with people (what is "political" ?).

If you don't talk to people about why racism, sexism, transphobia or something else is bad, they will bring that conversation to people who don't have the choice to ignore the conversation. They will harm and harass minorities.

I agree that the internet might not be the best place to change people's minds, but it is important to name and argue against bigotry when encountered.

You should of course still be mindful of your own mental health <3

Do you collect anything? How did you start?

I like to collect mugs - nothing better than drinking your morning coffee from a crazy mug :))

I collect mugs with my boyfriend (and the rest of my collective) and it is such a nice hobby. I can almost always guess who brought the mug into the house, based on people's interest.

Yesterday I drank coffe from a Friday the 13th Mug and I know one of my collectivists loves that series :))

the only issue, as with all collections, it takes up so much room in the kitchen 🥲

What are your strategies to not be late?

I try to be ready to leave, meaning dressed and bag is packed, as early as possible. I am for being as ready as possible at least 15 minutes before I leave. I add and subtract minutes depending on how important the event is and how much I need to have checked before leaving.

also, I try to aim for being at least 10 minutes early for most events. this is working very good for me. it allows small talk with other people who've arrived and it allows time for being late.

it is time consuming, but I've come to enjoy the breaks it gives, before leaving and when arriving early ^^

also, thinking through what I need to prepare before leaving as early as possible. Often, I think about it the afternoon before I have to pack.

good luck :)

//edit:

these systems don't stop me from getting distracted and forgetting things, but because I've moved everything 15 minutes earlier, then when I'm late for my own deadlines, often I'll still make it to the actual deadlines :)
