A movement that’s laughed at,
All while we like act that
Throats aren’t slit.
You are unfit
To call yourself an environmentalist,
When really, you’re fundamentalists
In this cult that calls murder
‘lunch’.

“Do you want to be eating a slave, or could you try an aubergine?” – Simon Amstell’s ‘Carnage’
Living in a society where satirical art, like Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror, is a key way to get people engaged with problematic societal issues, this movie could be a modern stroke of vegan genius. Its self-awareness -: “who want to watch a whole movie about veganism?” mocks its own existence whilst also pointing out the need for an alternative vegan message that can live alongside documentaries like Earthlings and Forks over Knives.
The Climbing Vegan
So, I got my first pair of climbing shoes today, eeeeee! They are beeaaaautiful. For the past few weeks I’ve been renting shoes, as I was trying to figure out whether I’d stick with climbing long enough to invest in some, but after realising I was spending so much money renting shoes that had been […]
10 Minute Recipes: Easy Vegan Mac ‘n’ Cheese
I’m going to start with: this is not a healthy recipe. So, chill. Zip it. Although I believe in taking care of my body and eating nourishing foods, I also am an avid junk-food lover and this ten minute recipe was borne from my craving for something cheesy, carby, and quick. I also love 10 […]
A Chilly Vegan New Year at Disneyland Paris
I did it! I left the country! For the first time in foreeeeveeer! (okay a year and half feels like forever). Aaaand yes, it was a trip I can’t really afford and yes, it was a present for Gigi that was also a present for me, and YES, it was my favourite spontaneous decision of […]

Fantastic Beasts – Diversity, or nah?
Last year, when the cast list was released for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, there were some grumblings, some raised eyebrows, that yet again J.K. Rowling’s magical world was looking a little too white. After Rachel Rostads challenge of Rowling’s Cho Chang as part of her critique of the representation of Asian women […]
Mad Max, ethical consumption, & burying our heads in the sand
I did love the movie, it’s left many coming out of the theatre feeling powerful, bubbling with joyful exclamations of all the things we felt the film represented and attacked, overtly and subtly. There have been many praising the movie’s glaring take on where our values are taking us as a society, and of the […]
Thai ‘aroy coconut’ vegan oatmeal cookie recipe
Chewy and gooey, with a crispy oat outer edge and an abnormal blend of sweetness. Living in Thailand, I don’t have an oven, or many utensils… or, well, a real kitchen. Brevity combined with several moves and a kind-of backpacking settling has prevented me from buying all the usual fun baking things I’m used to […]
