markthisdayforitallendsnow asked: Don't apologize for ranting. believe it or not, people that have never met you in real life care about you... you're a true inspiration to a lot of people. people just don't like being put in check and having to look at their own actions as wrong. especially older people.
don't ever apologize for being who you are. you are wonderful.

creepy test, but this is so legit spot-on such a weird test. Makes no sense. But this sounds a lot like me: Your Diagnosis: You have a poetic sensibility and an ability to see beyond the day to day. You often seem to be living in a higher realm, or to be not-of-this-earth. Occasionally you imagine interior lives for friends and associates that are near-complete fabrications based on your...

my family, who i love to death, are really starting to bring me down. They don’t want to listen to anything I have to say. It’s really sad. My brother keeps complaining about headaches, so I asked him some questions, and he just told me to check his blood pressure. When I tried talking about what can cause headaches again, he just looked at me and said “fuck just get the Blood...

madelainee-deactivated20130515 asked: I really don't understand why you get so many negative anons. You seem like such a smart, caring, beautiful person and I (and a lot of others) really enjoy your posts. Hope you realize how wonderful you are (:

michellehelen-deactivated201304 asked: Weddings are traditionally under Christianity but you can get married under ANY religion or no religion and it isn't solely a Christian thing anymore (which by the way, is a joining of two people who love each other want to devote their lives to each other, not to a God necessarily)

Marriage is a custom and done under law and religion is traditionally the latter and what...

belle-morte-deactivated20110801 asked: to your incredibly ignorant anon below, marriage is NOT only for Christians or religious people. marriage is fortwo people, gay, transgender or straight who love each other and want to be physically tied to each other in every way possible. marriage in NO WAY is about any god or religion.

ANON: GO TAKE YOUR IGNORANCE TO THE HEAVEN YOUR SOCIOPATHIC GOD CREATED FOR OTHER SOCIOPATHS...

jannetje asked: That anon is an idiot. I don't believe in anything. I'm going to get married because it's what I want to do. You don't have to believe in anything to get married. That's a promise to each other. Not just to "god" or whatever you believe in.

Anonymous asked: whats the point of getting married if ur an atheist...ur basically just having a civil ceremony. pathetic and meaningless

belle-morte-deactivated20110801 asked: yes! I love say yes to the dress! when they find their perfect dress I'm all snots and tears haha!

inventingtheuniverse asked: I understand your sorrow from living in an area that's not veg-friendly. I grew up in a highly conservative town, and even at the age of 6 (when I stopped eating meat) felt judged. Since my parents both ate meat, I also felt very alone. It didn't get any better when I went vegan 4 years ago... BUT there is an advantage to this. I'm an animal ethicist, and a lot of what I've...

brachiosaurs asked: I feel for you <3
I have to deal with my parents every fucking day.
my mom finds it "way too difficult" to eat vegan yet it's okay to try out one after the other ridiculous diet, costing us way more money than adapting to the lifestyle I prefer ever would!
and my dad, well, I don't even want to talk about that. a carnivore at "heart".

having no one believe in you and your fight for animals is the worst pain in the world. I’m surrounded by people who could care less. I feel like such a fucking weirdo all the time. I don’t care about that, but being scoffed at and given no time of day is really fucking shitty.

vinegarwilliams-deactivated2011 asked: Besides being the beautiful face that I attach to the word "vegan," what else is really important to you? I know you care about animals and the environment, but what are your hopes and dreams, apart from that?

limitedsocialskills-deactivated asked: I just find it tedious as fuck having to speak constantly about veganism when there is so much more to a person

theballadofjennk asked: your links are inspiring me to switch from vegetarian to vegan :)

The Informed Vegan: CEO Kills Elephant, Posts... →

theinformedvegan: This is becoming one of the most talked about animal stories of 2011. GoDaddy.com CEO, Bob Parsons, has posted a video on his personal blog that shows him shooting and killing an elephant in Africa. He says in the video “of everything I do, this is the most rewarding.” The video…

limitedsocialskills-deactivated asked: Do you not get bored shitless of answering questions about veganism all day? I get fed up after like 3

pigfarts-potter asked: Do you wear glasses or contacts? I'm interested in contacts, but I don't know if they're vegan friendly.

selahwrites asked: Crystal, how can you advocate the breeding of any cat or dog, for that matter, when so many are killed in shelters due to not enough homes to go around? As a vegan, don't you think we should avoid any/all animal use?

The Morality Of Mealtime. →

A good article from TIME discussing veganism, environmentalism, factory farms or CAFOs, and foodies such as Anthony Bourdain.

Both sphynx catterys emailed me back! One lady (coincidently the one that lives closest to me!) Has one kitten that was born two weeks ago! And is expecting another litter in 4-5 months! I’m going to try to go visit her before I make a decision. She actually breeds Peterbald cats, which are like Sphynx cats, but the genes that make them hairless are dominant, rather then is recessive like in...

lifeofajayhawk asked: Right now I'm writing a speech to give in my communications class persuading people to become vegetarian and vegan. :)

Anonymous asked: Truth be told you're inspiring to me. I've been a vegetarian for about two years now and am slowly becoming vegan. I'm 6'2 and 195 lbs. and it's hard maintaining my weight with an athletic lifestyle. Any suggestions? Please. :D

anatomyalice asked: Hi there! I've been following you for a while now so just thought I'd drop by and say hello! I'm alice. Love that you're a nurse AND a vegan. I'm on my way to nursing school, as I'm on my way to becoming vegan. (hopefully) You're such an inspiration, darling! Thanks for all the amazing you've done and please keep it up!

Anonymous asked: Thank you I appreciate the time you took to answer it. I din't know whether I was over-reacting or not. Have a good night.
