Oliver Stark once said that lots of imperfect vegans are better than a few perfect vegans, and to do what you can. So I am:
Not buying, or wearing, animal-part products for clothes e.g. leather, fur, silk. We can substitute with cotton, linen, etc
Not buying, or wearing, animal-part accessories e.g. pearls, ivory. We can substitute with stones, semi-precious stones, jade, wood etc
Buying only cruelty free makeup and skincare (easily Google-able)
Unplugging and switching off all unused electronics and lights
Declining invitations to projects or research plans that use live animals e.g. rodents (in my university)
Wish me luck that I do more, and real, actions in this endeavor. Do you guys do these things too?

Bungou Stray Dogs: Dead Apple and how “ability users” (opposite to “normal people”) learning to accept themselves through the acceptance of their own abilities is a queer metaphor of acceptance of own's sexual orientation and gender: an essay by me
#bsd#bungou stray dogs#About: Dead Apple. Watched this a while ago with a friend and it was a lot of fun!!!#If you're reading this: thank you so much for hanging out with me I had such a good time (ㅅ´ ˘ )♡#Next to general considerations: wow they were right that Bungou Stray Dogs movie sure can Bungou Stray Dogs#It's always nice to see the detailed animation and elaborate backgrounds of movies. The animation quality compared to the manga is–#definitely noticeable and it's nice to see. That said... I still like the season 2 art style more? And I'm speaking strictly of art style.#The s2 one looks more soft and smooth while the da one is so much more rough.#The plot is... Very bsd-esque I don't think there's anything to add.#In my opinion Kyouka's arc is the one that turned out best tbh. I really like her narrative development and personal growth in this movie.#I like the complexity of her state of mind. how full of contradiction she is. I especially appreciate the recurring small changes of–#expression that indicate how she thinks differently from Atsushi even if she doesn't voice them. The fight between her cynicism and her–#kind nature. It's all very interesting.#Atsushi's development is interesting too. Although all the open questions about his ability we still have kind of leave me frustrated#I don't feel very strongly about Akutagawa in this movie? I mean‚ he's there. The ss/kk scenes are always great and in character and a joy–#to witness no matter what they do. He just doesn't shine particularly? Or at least personally I dont find the “proving my strength against–#myself” narrative arc to be particularly interesting. Imo it was a lot better flashed out in the da stage play! With the complexity that–#the dialogues with Chuuya added to the character. Dazai attacking him. And especially Aktgw understanding that Rashomon wasn't testing Aktg#but rather only expressing that unstoppable rage that is also Aktgw's own. About that I checked out the play and I really liked it!!#I only watched highlights (aka: ss/kk and chuu/aku scenes) but there's some stuff I really like. I like the conflict between Aktgw and–#Chuuya and how Chuuya messes up with Aktgw at first maliciously and then amiably. It's interesting how Atsushi himself observes that Kyouka#and Akutagawa get along. And especially the sskk almost-handholding and Atsushi saying Akutagawa has a nice profile were cute akjdhbsawhjb#Next. Da really is shipping paradise (╥﹏╥) Sorry but... It is. oda/zai. daz/atsu. ss/kk. s/kk. fuku/mori. chuu/aku. It really has everythin#and the moments are so good!!!! What else. Wish we'd see more of Tsujimura. And Christie. And women in general tbh.#Also‚‚‚‚‚ Atsushi's tiger form in this movie is ATROCIOUS. I've said it before but it's crazy how a franchises that relies so heavily on–#fanservice came up with something this hideous. Man the movie overall was pretty but Atsushi sure wasn't. Firmly stand by the belief–#that only Akutagawa would find that form attractive.#Oh last note. honestly if we're ready to accept a movie where an antidote has effect AFTER the person has effectively died then we really–#can't complain about any kind of insanity the manga brings up#random rambles

Having held up pretty well for the past 21 years, old man Leo's long past due for tlc
#Call it childish but he definitely beats hugging a pillow at night#Also he's the perfect size and density for travel#fits perfectly against in the small of my back and is a great neck pillow#I've owned many stuffies in my life but this guy has definitely withstood the test of time#mun nonsense#stuffed animals#plushie

"I once thought of you as my weaker half, the part of me that I needed to be rid of so that I could lead the Toppat Clan without weakness.
However I was foolish in that decision and paid dearly.
But you Henry, you have done what I could not and shown yourself as not only the stronger half between us...
...but you have become your own person throughout your struggles."
#henry stickmin#terrence suave#doodle#henry is surprised to see terrence while terrence is just beaming with pride with henry#au idea where terrence and henry were once whole but terrence decided to throw away part of himself so that he would lead the toppats bette#this failed spectacularly and terrence was dethroned by reginald#meanwhile the other part of terrence found himself taken in by gadget gabe#who decided to give this identity the temporary name of henry stickmin and let him stay at his lab for a bit#with henry finding himself testing inventions ever so often for some money before deciding to go see the world for himself#and soon henry would find an apartment and then get the idea to rob a bank one day and setting his path before him#terrence originally wanted revenge against the toppats for dethroning him and wanted to fuse back with his other side#but after seeing the toppats get to space and henry earning the respect and friendship of reginald and the clan he decided not to#only wishing henry well before going off to figure out what he wanted to do now#rambling in the tags#retro anime aesthetic#fake anime screenshot

What if I connected to a very unstable chassis then tried to kill you and your girlfriend wouldn't that be fun
#i need to redo my artfight refs and i needed to design the chassis part of vampire core for later on in the story#he has like an outfit change moment#is it even a portal story if theres not an evil bitch piloting the chassis /j#this is the same chassis seen in the portal coop dlc just with some changes so it's easier to draw#i think using this chassis works better than glados's because i don't wanna add glados to my oc story and vampire core does a lot coop tests#soo thats the vision#nothing against glados but id perfer to keep paradox as an oc only thing#and i don't wanna research how to write glados by reading her wiki page for hours#goddd i need to write the story outline before artfight comes#id like at least some of my characters to have lore on their pages ya know :)#i keep saying 'wow i need to write this already' then not doing it#oc writing is fun. i know its fun. i have fun doing it. but my brain tricks me into thinking its not fun and i don't like doing it#i got to the coloring stage before realizing I didn't like the brush i used for lineart so i had to redo it#but im glad i did it looks much better :) it also let me add the big claws i wanted him to have#i gave up on that puppet its an optional accessory for fun now sorryyyyyy#aughh i wanna animate so bad seeing my friends animate motivates me to do it too but I dont have timeeeee#portal#portal oc#Vampire core (oc)

Top 5 fav moments from Haikyuu and Assassination Classroom....
Haikyuu my beloved comfort anime <3
OYA OYA OYA - This scene has lived rent-free in my head since I saw that episode (I was like 13 or something and I STILL think daily about it). This isn't even a joke it is actually my favorite moment of the anime. I watched the season 2 at least five times exactly for this moment. Well, other reasons too, but mostly for this moment.
2. Bokuto's celebration - I actually do that IRL. Regularly. It's worrying. When I said I am Bokuto IRL I wasn't lying. I seriously love it when he does that. Sometimes I'm walking in my house and then I just "hey hEY HEEYYYYYY" out of nowhere. It scares people. (tbh since Bokuto is one of my favorite characters, every single one of his apparitions is my favorite moment lmaoooo)
3. Hinata intercepting the ball before Ushiwaka - That was AMAZING. The entire scene is just WOAH. Hinata's answer ?? Memorable. Ushijima's shocked face ?? Incredible. Kageyama smiling on the side ? PERFECT. I fucking love that interaction.
4. Most of Nishinoya's receives but mostly the one with his foot - That was very cool of him, the animation was wonderful. Besides that, there's also the match against Inarizaki, when he was afraid and his body didn't want to move because he wasn't used to that kind of opponent, and because overhand receives were his weakness. Asahi saying "I can spike on a bad receive" and Kinnoshita yelling at Noya to move forward... Amazing.
5. Tsukki blocking Ushiwaka's spike - It was so coooooool, but mostly, the thing I love the most about it is that it showed how much Tuskishima's mindset has evolved since he arrived at Karasuno. In the beginning, he wasn't interested at giving 100% of himself because "it's just a club activity" and after that he was genuinely frustrated because he only managed to block 1 time. He was so proud of himself !!!!! Look at him, my baby boy, he finally shows emotions !!!!!!!
Now I'm this close 🤏 to go rewatch Haikyuu AGAIN because you made me think about all of these.
#Haikyuu#top 5#haikyuu!!#answering asks#anon ask#listing#the other scene I thought about were#the last point against Aoba Josai when Hinata's spike was blocked and Karasuno lost the match#it made me cry so hard but it was beautiful honestly#also#Atsumu having fun while testing the weird pass with his brother. And basically every scene where atsumu is smiling.#Also whenever Bokuto and Akaashi are gay for each other.#And Nishinoya yelling at Asahi “Don't you DARE give up on the shots I've worked so hard to receive!!” that was amazing#anyway I loved many things#It'd be better to say that my favorite part is the entire anime lmaooo

Hobie Brown is a queer vegan and I will be taking no arguments. Now how do I get him to join my queer vegans watsapp group hmmmm. Anyone got his number? 🤔
#that spider is totally against animal slavery#i mean all spider men are the product of animal testing and slavery which i feel would make him even more pissed about it#also he makes pavitr teach him indian recipes since they are heavily plant based#okay now im imagining pavitra teaching hobie how to make bhindi pyaaz ki sabzi along with rotis ajsjdkekek#hobie makes little rolls out of them and packs them for lunch breaks#pavitr is losing it because THAT'S NOT HOW YOU EAT ROTI AND SABZI hobie!#lololol#atsv#spiderman across the spiderverse#hobie brown#atsv hobie brown#marvel#vegans#queer vegans

not sorry but i do not buy the fact that fancy mice live to a maximum of three years but wild mice live to be at least five. especially when there have been fancy mice that have reached 6years. the oldest pet mouse was almost ten years old.
the short lifespan of fancy mice just tells me that improper care is normalized to such a degree that your mouse dying 2-4 years before theyre supposed to is considered standard. that expecting them to live longer than that is unrealistic.
#it's exactly like people saying fish only live to be two years old max. meanwhile i have tetras who have been with me durong my worst#phases of depression. have gone months without being fed or having any water flow at all.#the last remaining tetra is almost 7 years old... just in my care. this doesnt even consider how long she was at the nursery.#Way older than the 2-3 lifespan you find on google.#and again. this was with THE MOST IMPROPER CARE AND AWFUL NEGLECT THAT KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT.#imagine how long theyd live if i hadnt neglected them at all#it just goes to show the average lifespan of undervalued animals like fish and rodents is not a cemented fact#it's the averages of every abusive child who slammed their hamster against the wall. the averages of every mouse in a petstore dying from#the pine shavings and crowded conditions#it's the averages of breeders who value a buck over a life.#the averages from the billions of mice killed in animal testing.#i think of great danes who are regularly put down at 6yo bc their owners didnt care for them properly knowing yhat they can live to be 12+

you guys can't possibly comprehend how insane i am over getter robo arc
#like..... gr has all these themes about fighting fate or w/e#contrasted against each getter series being a repeat of tested archetypes#the bitey one is the leader. the skinny one is the smart one. the fat one is the strong one. and so on and so forth#arc source material shows it's AWARE of this. what's more destiny than ones bloodline??#anime just drops the ball and retreads everything but with fan service#*insane* *gripping you by the face* listen to me. kamui shouldve ended up in the lead formation.

The innovation of a 3D-printed device from the University of Edinburgh could pave the way to the abolition of animal testing.
The plastic “body-on-chip” device contains human cells from five major organs — the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver — and simulates chemicals moving through the circulatory system by using positron emission tomography (PET) scanning.
“This device is the first to be designed specifically for measuring drug distribution … essentially, allowing us to see where a new drug goes in the body and how long it stays there, without having to use a human or animal to test it,” Liam Carr, inventor of the device, told The Guardian.
Future models could also show how organs in different stages of disease react to medicine — as well as how everyday items like foods, aerosols, and cleaners affect the human body — improving precision in biomedical experiments.
This device is an example of innovation in biomedical models that could replace animal testing. It could also be cheaper and faster than testing new drugs on live animals.
“This device shows really strong potential to reduce the large number of animals that are used worldwide for testing drugs and other compounds, particularly in the early stages, where only 2% of compounds progress through the discovery pipeline,” said Dr. Adriana Tavares of the University’s Centre for Cardiovascular Science according to WION News.
#ecology#enviromentalism#science#animal testing#experimentation#Remember reading about early versions of this tech years ago#Always fascinated me#But I ended up seeing a bunch of people rally against it for the dumbest reasons#I'm sorry I thought the point was to try and get research data and results that can eventually help people#Even the “best animal testing” is still fairly off due to the sheer biological differences#This can help save time and resources AND yield more useful results AND at the very least massively reduces animal testing#But some people decided the scientists who've spend years on this were “attacking scientific traditions” or were “ARAs GONE MAD”#First off “Grand scientific traditions”????#Second way to either admit you have no relevant knowledge or straight up ignore all the many valid criticisms of animal testing#What were they rallying against? Better testing with less waste? More usable data faster?#The potential reduction in animal testing? (They were mostly mad about that)

teeth achieved. [goes to sleep]
#just me hi#i'll turn that off later it's just very Hm to me loll#not exactly funny not really annoying but very Hm.
