As my own narrative and the larger story were ripped apart, I glimpsed a shockingly indifferent world in which I had no more significance than any other edible being. The thought, ‘This can’t be happening to me, I’m a human being, I am more than just food!’ was one component of my terminal incredulity. It was a shocking reduction, from a complex human being to a mere piece of meat. Reflection has persuaded me that not just humans but any creature can make the same claim to be more than just food. We are edible, but we are also much more than edible. Respectful, ecological eating must recognize both of these things. I was a vegetarian at the time of my encounter with the crocodile, and remain one today. This is not because I think predation itself is demonic and impure, but because I object to the reduction of animal lives in factory farming systems that treat them as living meat.

I am tired of seeing people engage in emotional self-harm for political purposes

there are a lot of people whose quality of life would improve if they didn't feel so pressured to care about other people all the time

I've found myself struggling and have ended up out of money before the end of the month. I need some help affording: the rest of a storage space bill which eats most of my cash And food. any help would be appreciated. I'm trying not to do this often but this month I have ended up behind due to some extra needs that have come up and I'm still worrying about how the only two pairs of trousers that fit have widening holes now.

I think a lot of adultism can be traced not just to the child being property, but the child being a product

Hello,

My family is out of money and out of options. I have had no luck despite months of job searching, and the state cut our benefits yet again. With your help, we can afford basic necessities while I continue to search for work and care for my high support-needs daughters and disabled spouse.

Thank you 🙇‍♀️

@esvrld recently I was talking with some acquaintances about a certain online occultist who has been offering "lessons" on "Daoist and Buddhist folk magic" despite having no empowerments or other qualifications to teach. her day job is lawyer 🙄

@timberwraith the modern trolley problem was developed by virtue ethicist Philippa Foot (and developed further by Judith Jarvis Thomson) to critique exactly this kind of sacrificial consequentialist discourse

@wackJackle really interesting decision to turn the story of someone else's academic misconduct into a racist culture war while your entire postdoc position was invented out of thin air by a TESCREAL ghoul
