That’s sad.

Essentially they’re enabling their own oppressors.

There are other way to keep connected.

They could move over here and keep encouraging their followers to join them. Post less on the other platform & start posting much more on here, like an evolution of sorts.

We are being sold a false story that nature is the enemy. That newts, bats, snails and spiders are somehow responsible for the so-called housing crisis and a blocker to economic growth. This is a deliberate lie - using a cynically chosen group of species that could be found in a witches cauldron.

A really interesting listen.

Recorded in 2023 & gives a good insight into @zackpolanski.bsky.social views on a variety of topics, including the need for kindness and inclusion.

I came away feeling positive & energised.

(Also learnt my closest Green MP @adrianramsay.bsky.social is also vegan!👍🌱).

At THRT, we fund research that replaces animal testing with human-relevant methods like QSAR - which use computer simulations to forecast toxicity and drug responses.

It’s science that’s smarter, faster, and kinder.

Just put it in to cook.

Here’s the recipe (I kept this screen shot from years ago!).

Ingredients for Mexican Quinoa Chilli: 85g bulgur wheat, 85g quinoa, red onion, garlic, 47&ml veg stock, 400g kidney beans (black beans are good too), 200g sweet corn kernels, 400g can chopped tomatoes, dash of dried cumin, coriander & paprika, A few drops of hot source (or a few pinches of chilli powder to your desire), a few slices of avocado to garnish, slice of lime.
I usually add chopped zucchini & aubergine, also sometimes finely chopped kale, just to increase vegetable intake.

Mexican quinoa chilli recipe. 1. Heat olive oil in pan and fry onions & spices.
2. Add remaining ingredients, mix well.
3. Add stock.
4. Bring up heat, then simmer for approx 30 mins. Stir frequently to avoid catching on bottom of pan.
5. Plate up & garnish with avocado and lime slice.

They will still be fairly firm after soaking, but not like bullets. You’ll then need to cook them (bring to boil then simmer) for about 45mins-1hr before you can use them in other cooking.

I used to batch cook dried chickpeas then keep them in the freezer. I tend to use canned ones these days😬

Can we please at least stop using happy imagery of animals who suffer terribly for our outdated and barbaric use of animals?
It’s 2025 and this disconnect is not only inexcusable, it’s delusional.

Don’t believe it’s any less cruel in any other slaughterhouse. Stunning doesn’t always work & the more mechanised the process, the more ‘errors’ are likely to be made.

Ancient religious slaughter practices were thought to be ‘least cruel’ for the times. But times have moved on. It should all stop.
